Anti-terrorism operations by Pakistani military have forced many thousands of Pashtuns to leave their homes and live a life of IDPs.


The Pakistani army launched a military operation in Pakistan tribal areas in 2014 which has forced thousands of Pashtuns to be displaced, and most of their homes were destroyed during the operation.
The Pakistani government has not yet been able to resettle displaced Pashtuns in their homes.
At present, the Pakistan government started re-efforts to restore displaced people to their homes, but many of the IDPs refuse to go back, and they have their reasons.

Islam Gul spoke to the IDPs and had this report, please listen to the full report in Pashto.
