Yesterday’s attacks on two convoys transporting Shiite families in northwestern Pakistan resulted in the deaths of at least 43 people, including seven women and three children. Sixteen others sustained injuries, with eleven in critical condition. The violence underscores ongoing sectarian tensions between Sunni and Shiite communities, prompting local protests and a call for peace councils to restore order. This incident adds to a troubling trend of increasing clashes within the region, raising concerns over the government’s capability to ensure the safety of its citizens.
