Hundreds of villagers in northwest Pakistan have volunteered to join private militias, called lashkars. These groups have vowed to help Pakistan’s military in fighting the Taliban. Pakistani military officials credit the lashkars with helping chase the Taliban out of Swat Valley and neighboring districts once infested with the militants. By nature, they’re very tough and sacrificing their lives just to protect their own values and to help Pakistan army out. Does this mean the end of terrorism from Pakistan? Will this trumpet of civilian war against Taliban rid Pakistan of Taliban?
