Appeal to support displaced Swat People
May 9, 2009
While the military operation against the barbaric Taliban animals is in full swing in Swat Valley, the migration of locals is taking a toll on the government and the people effected by this necessary and hopefully the final decisive operation. Temporary migration of these people is important for the safety of locals while reducing the potentially unfortunate collateral damage. The ones who need to be destroyed and killed are the Talibans, that must go on till the end.
I personally am requesting all the able Pakistanis living in Pakistan or abroad to fully support the Swati people who are being effected with this necessary operation. Also I request that we fully support the Pakistan Armed Forces and stand by them to help achieve this gruesome task that we face as a nation. Lets not dwell in the past, lets just remove our differences and move forward as one.
For now we shall support these displaced people to help them go through this tough times they are going through by helping them in any way we can, monetarily, camps, supplies, medicines, volunteering and whatever else is necessary. Whoever is involved with these crisis as a volunteer or through any connection, please identify to us the areas we can help in, like NGOs, organizations (secular), etc who are taking part in direct support. Please leave comments with as much information as you can by properly identifying the requested information.
Also the next phase of support will be rebuilding and rehabilitation of displaced Swat people. I’d personally like to know the plans and how can we all contribute? Also for the moment I am willing to extend as much help in any way even beyond my means. I remember how Pakistanis rose up after the Earthquake of October 2005, hopefully the same happens this time again.
Thank you…
