Pakistan, Inde et talibans

[Supply-side]

Salut,

Sur la page wikipedia de l'armée pakistanaise (en anglais), dans la section History->1999-present, il est écrit que l'Inde soutiendrait matériellement et financièrement les insurgés islamiques qui combattent le gouvernement pakistanais dans les zones tribales.

Je me suis souvent demandé si cela pouvait être possible, mais ça me paraît quand même très gros comme affirmation. J'ai un train de retard ou cela est effectivement vrai?

Les passages concernés sur la page wiki sont mis en gras:

In October 1999 the Pakistan Army for the fourth time, overthrew an inept and corrupt government which resulted in additional sanctions being placed against Pakistan, resulting in General Pervez Musharraf coming to power in a bloodless coup. Musharraf stepped down as President in August 2008. On July 30, 2009, the Pakistan Supreme Court ruled that General Musharraf's imposition of the Emergency Rule in 2007 was unconstitutional.[7]

After the 9/11 attacks, Pakistan joined the US-led War on Terror and helped the U.S. Military by severing ties with the Taliban and immediately deploying 72,000 troops along Pakistan's western border to capture or kill Taliban and al-Qaida militants fleeing from Afghanistan.

On the north western front, Pakistan initially garrisoned its troops in military bases and forts in the tribal areas. In May 2004 clashes erupted between the Pakistani troops and al-Qaeda's and other militants joined by local rebels and pro-Taliban forces. However, the offensive was poorly coordinated and the Pakistani Army suffered heavy casualties as well public support for the attack quickly evaporated. After a 2 year conflict from 2004 till 2006, the Pakistani military negotiated a ceasefire with the Tribesmen from the region in which they pledged to hunt down al-Qaeda members, and stop attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, the militants did not hold up their end of the bargain and began to regroup and rebuild their strength from the previous 2 years of conflict.

It is widely believed that the militants emboldened by their limited success in FATA moved into Islamabad where they sought to impose an extremist Sharia government on Pakistan. But in reality a few hundred militants, most of them foreign backed with highly sophisticated weapons and satellite communications equipment, concentrated inside Lal Masjid and made it their base of operations in Islamabad. After a 6 month standoff fighting erupted again in July 2007 when the Pakistani Military decided to use force to end the Lal Masjid threat. Once the operation ended, the newly formed Pakistani Taliban or TTP, heavily backed and funded by Indians vowed revenge and launched a wave of attacks and suicide bombings erupted all over North-West Pakistan and major Pakistani cities throughout 2007.

The militants then expanded their base of operations and moved into the neighboring Swat Valley and imposed a very harsh Sharia law on the scenic valley. The Army launched an offensive to re-take the Swat Valley in 2007 but was unable to clear it of the militants who had fled into the mountains and waited for the Army to leave to take over the valley again. The militants then launched another wave of terrorist attacks inside Pakistan. The Pakistani government and military tried another peace deal with the militants in Swat Valley in 2008. This was roundly criticized in the West as abdicating to the militants. Initially pledging to lay down their arms if Sharia Law was implemented, the Pakistani Taliban used Swat Valley as a springboard to launch further attacks into neighboring regions and reached to within 60 km of Islamabad.

The public opinion turned decisively against the Pakistani Taliban when a video showing a flogging of a girl by the Pakistani Taliban in Swat Valley finally forced the army to launch a deceive attack against the Taliban occupying Swat Valley in April 2009 after having received orders from the political leadership.[8] After heavy fighting the Swat Valley was largely cleared by July 2009. The next phase of Pakistani Army's offensive was the formidable Waziristan region. A US drone attack killed the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, Baitullah Mehsud in August. A power struggle engulfed the Pakistani Taliban for the whole of September but by October a new leader had emerged, Hakimullah Mehsud. Under his leadership, the Pakistani Taliban launched another wave of terrorist attacks throughout Pakistan killing hundreds of people. After a few weeks of softening up the targets with air strikes and artillery and mortar attacks, the Army backed by 30,000 troops moved in a three pronged attack on South Waziristan. The Army re-took South Waziristan. As in Swat, the army found clear evidence of Indian involvement and infiltration in the ranks of TTP when several truck loads of Indian arms and ammunition were found. Also many of the arrested militant commanders also confessed to receiving formal training, weapons and money from their Indian handlers through the various Indian consulates inside US controlled Afghanistan. In the south west, Pakistan Army commenced operations in Balochistan during 2006, resulting in the killing of the self proclaimed leader of the Balochis, Nawab Akbar Bugti and has claimed to have crushed a rebellion by the Balochistan Liberation Army. Bugti had demanded separation of Baluchistan from Pakistan. His reign of tyranny and bloodshed finally ended with his death.

En effet la dernière phrase du texte ,"His reign of tyranny and bloodshed finally ended with his death." me fait douter de l'impartialité du rédacteur.

Il aurait fallu mettre ta question dans Pakistan et ses voisins un peu plus bas.
