This Blog is now a Book
This blog is now available as a book with the same title from Lulu. I have added a chapter with some details of tribal life and strife in the “Triangle of Death”.
This is what it says on the back cover:
A primer to the country and the people through facts and anecdotes
The country’s composition and diversity in ethnic, religious, urban-rural and civic-tribal terms
The occupation, the chaos and lawlessness that followed and their effect on the lives of people and individuals
A look into the “Triangle of Death” – one of the most volatile regions – from the inside, showing some of the intricacies of tribal relations
But, above all, this book is about people
It aims to illustrate how ordinary people dealt with the traumatic situation; why civil war was so hard to ignite; and why there is still hope
It may help the reader understand the failure to understand that led to failure
