Pakistani army operations in tribal regions displace 100,000: UNHCR - 3/31/12



A report released by the UN’s refugee agency shows that the Pakistani military operations in the country’s tribal areas have led to the displacement of an estimated 100,000 Pakistani civilians.
Since June 2008, Pakistani troops have carried out multiple military operations in Khyber Agency. However, those operations have been unsuccessful as militant activities and violence still reign in the region.
Pakistan's Army escalated its fight in the Khyber Agency after US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Pakistan in 2011.
