Two Anti-US Protests Staged in Pakistan only in a Week
Pakistan- While the top-level government of Pakistan continues to keep the ‘harmonious’ relation with the US, hundreds of Pakistanis poured down the street to stage protest against the US for blind drone attack that resulted in civilian casualties.
Only in this week, there had been two large-scale protests addressed to the US to as soon as possible leave Pakistan before the number of victims of the drone airstrike continues to grow.
The newest protest was held on Friday (10/12/2010) morning with the same issue of the US’s drone attack to civilians.
The previous protest against the US invasion in Pakistan was staged on Thursday (09/12/2010) where protesters demanded the Washington to compensate the victims of US blind drone attack.
The use of drone attack by the US in Pakistan has lured a great number of criticism since such a method of attack has left more than 2,000 civilians martyred since 2004.
The US alone insists carrying out the drone attack because they do believe that it is a useful attack to tackle the Mujahideen.
But, the US’s alliance in the Pakistani government, PM Yousuf Raza Gilani, said that the use of drone is ‘counterproductive.’
“We have repeatedly said the drone attacks are counterproductive,” he said.
Not only in Pakistan is the use of drone attack, but also in the country’s neighbour, Afghanistan.
PressTV reported on Wednesday (08/12/2010) that three Afghan women were martyred following the blind US drone attack in Nad Ali district of Helmand Province.
Despite its coverage on such a war crime, the UN keeps in still with no reaction at all. (Islaminet/PressTV)
