The ongoing sectarian clashes in the Kurram district, driven by a land dispute, have left over 20 dead and 75 injured, prompting urgent efforts for peace.
A senior official stated, 'Dozens of homes have been damaged... all efforts by the government and other tribes to end the fighting have failed.' This highlights the complexity of the conflict.
Barrister Saif Ali mentioned that authorities are collaborating with tribal elders to initiate a truce, showcasing the efforts to mediate tensions between the conflicting groups.
In Pakistan, sectarian violence is exacerbated by the demographic split, as Shiite Muslims comprise only 15% of the predominantly Sunni Muslim population, leading to systemic discrimination.
