A two-month truce has finally been agreed upon by the warring parties in the Kurram area, following days of fighting that claimed the lives of numerous people.
According to a local police officer, the gunman opened fire at a council meeting last Wednesday, sparking a decades-long feud over farmland, and since then, the two parties have been engaged in combat.
The fighting started at Boshera and eventually moved to Peewar, Tangi, Balishkhel, Khaar Killay, Maqbal, Kunj Alizai, and the Para Chamkani area.
Due to the usage of heavy weapons in the violent conflicts between the two parties, there were 50 casualties and 226 injuries.
The main road between Parachinar and Peshawar was closed due to fighting that lasted for over a week.In response, the Pakistani Human Rights Commission stated that the violence has had a “heavy toll on ordinary citizens,” whose freedom of movement has been restricted.
Both sides have signed a two-month temporary ceasefire deal, which will be followed by a permanent ceasefire agreement, according to Deputy Commissioner Javedullah Mahsud, who provided details on the peace arrangement.
Haji Rehmat Hussain, a member of the Jirga, announced that the Peshawar-Kurram route will be made safe for traffic. He also stated that any party who violates the agreement will be penaltyd Rs 120 million.
