Why it matters
The violence in the region is noted to be devastating the local economy, as lawlessness and coercion make travel unsafe and prevent industry from flourishing. The ongoing security challenges amplify the scale of the difficulty in maintaining state writ and economic stability in the area.
Pakistan is conducting a counterterrorism campaign along the border, which involves strikes and suicide attacks on military posts in North Waziristan and Bannu.
