Hello everyone and specially beautiful @realityhubs community. Its been a wonderful tour to South & North Waziristan Pakistan. I see the conditions are normal in the areas. As you know these area were the main hub of terrorists. And now return of Pakistani tribes shows success of Operation Zarb-e-Azb. The people of the Waziristan are Thankful to the Pak army on this great success against the terror.
Pakistan History:
Just go back to 12 years. This was the when terrorism was on peak in Pakistan. Pakistan has been facing the worst kind of terrorism. History says 50,000 civilians were offers their lives for the nation. Approximate 40% of pakistan Army is engaged in the terror effected areas more casualties than in wars with India. North & South waziristan were considered the most safe and hub areas for terrorists. Firstly Pakistan Army cleared the North Waziristan from terrorists in 2009. But the south waziristan was still the effected with terrorism.
How it happened?
North Waziristan considered the main activity area during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. All terrorist from all over the world shifted into these areas. Actually these terrorist was supported by the some india and Israel agencies.
The CIA set up the largest headquarters ever outside the US in Peshawar during the 1980s. From funding to distributing jihadi literature, the CIA was able to take revenge of the Vietnam defeat but left behind a region full of guns, missiles and people who were only happy to use them. After the establishment of the Taliban government there in the late 1990s, fighters who had left after the Soviet withdrawal found Afghanistan to be a safe place for them again and returned.

Return of Pakistani tribes shows success of Operation Zarb-e-Azb:
I've remembered that Pakistan Army moved in KPK & Kurt am agencies after 2000. The brave Army set to goal to stop influx of TTP and other terrorist groups. It's a long story of war against terror. Pakistani people's and Army lost 70,000 a lives and get the success in terrorism effected areas. However people came back in their homes after the successful Milla try operations.
My thoughts:
I'm proud to Pak Army, their efforts comes true and make the area open for tourism. A lot of people from around the Pakistan moves to these areas to see the beauty of nature. Above the photo showing the beauty of Waziristan. These thoughts are my personel observation.
I agree, this is one of the scenic areas of Pakistan, and the worst part, even most of the Pakistanis were unable to visit there and witness this beauty before the operation for a long long time.
I hope, this would open the doors to foreign tourists as well. Pakistan is full of natural beauty, and people all around the world used to visit Pakistan, I remember the days when many foreigners wandering freely on the streets of Karachi. Time is changing again to positive.
Have a nice day
Thank you for reading deeply. I've visted in these areas and found very safe for tourism. I see Pak Army check post in range of very short disance to keep the area more secure.
