11 Dead in Another Tribal Clash in Kurram District

A tragic tribal clash in Kurram District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has claimed the lives of 11 people, with at least six others injured. The deadly violence erupted in the Kunj Ali Zai area, where two tribes engaged in an armed confrontation, according to Deputy Commissioner Javedullah Mehsud.

 

Local authorities report that security forces and police swiftly arrived at the scene to investigate the shooting and assess the damage. DC Javedullah confirmed that immediate steps are being taken to secure the area and ensure the safety of roads and public spaces as efforts to restore peace continue.

 

This latest incident adds to a long history of tribal clashes in Kurram, where conflicts over land and resources have led to recurring violence. Former Member of the National Assembly and Jirga member, Pir Haider Ali Shah, noted that the Jirga, tasked with mediating a peace agreement between the warring tribes, was already present when the latest clash occurred.

 

“We were already negotiating a peace agreement between the tribes when this incident took place. The situation is tragic, but we remain committed to securing a lasting peace,” Pir Haider Ali Shah said.

 

Tribal clashes have plagued the region for years, with similar outbreaks of violence claiming dozens of lives. Despite ongoing efforts by local leaders and law enforcement to mediate and prevent these disputes, tensions between tribes often reignite, leading to devastating consequences.

 

Authorities are working closely with Jirga members and local security forces to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed. As peace negotiations continue, the residents of Kurram District hope for a long-term solution that will put an end to the cycle of violence.
