💨 Abstract

A peace jirga in Kurram district, Pakistan, aimed at demilitarizing the area and resolving tensions between warring factions, failed to reach an agreement on the mandatory surrender of heavy weapons. The deadlock centers around the surrender of heavy weapons as a condition for reopening vital roads closed due to hostilities. The provincial government launched a helicopter service to deliver essential supplies such as medicine, but road blockages and protests continue.
