Pakistan’s military operation has forced many thousands of Pashtuns to flee their homes and become IDPs.


The military operation in tribal areas of Pakistan has left many thousands Pashtun displaced while their homes and business have been destroyed.

Pakistan’s natural disaster management authorities say they will soon start the process of returning the IDPs to their homes, but some critics say that the situation is not stable and the houses and business have been destroyed, so they are not yet ready to return to their homes.
