In all likelihood, the Taliban will deliver a bloody set of Eid presents to the Pakistani people. Rehman Malik has said that the security forces will resume operations if provoked. But I think the return of the Bajaur residents back home has been too hasty. What if they have to flee again? Also, the relief/rehabilitation operation for them has also been meager. Not good signs on that front. As for the militants, they are not ones to have respect for any norms. I fail to see why they should be offered some sort of relief for Ramadan. I agree with you, Riaz.

Given the history of ceasefires/peace deals with the Taliban, I fully expect that they will use the hiatus to regroup and rebuild to unleash a new, unprecedented reign of terror on the streets of Pakistani cities after Eid.
