Des Enfants utilisés comme bombes vivantes au Pakistan
 CHILDREN LIVING UNDER TERROR IN PAKISTAN- MONTHLY REPORT (NOVEMBER)
Bilal (13) trained as suiside-bomber
Institut de recherche et d’études stratégiques de Khyber (IRESK), a partner of International Alliance against Terrorism (IAAT), fully support the International Advocacy Conference, Stand Up for Malala, organized by UNESCO at Paris.
But, we would like to bring the attention of the UNESCO towards a hard reality that without providing security and protection to the girls who like to go to school, the objectives of Universal Education cannot be achieved.
We are not sure that the girls will enroll in mass in the prevailing atmosphere of fear, where the terrorist factories in North Waziristan region are bent upon producing suicide bombers to kill those innocent civilians and children who demand their right for education, the right to live and the right to express their opinion.
We would like to turn the attention of UNESCO & the Government of Pakistan towards two very recent examples as under:
-On November 28, 2012, Police arrested a terrorist named Yahya, from Naurang town in Lakki Marwat District while he was taking three boys, identified as Shah Hussain, Rehan and Mukhtiar Ahmad, to North Waziristan Agency of FATA for training as suicide bombers. The group kidnapped boys before shifting them to North Waziristan Agency for training as suicide bombers.
-On October 16, 2012, Bilal (13) trained as suicide bomber, resident of Qamberkhel area of the Bara, tehsil in Khyber Agency along with a manipulator named Jehangir, (22), were arrested by Peshawar Police at around 07:00 pm. Police was alerted by the cries of the teenager for help. “Don’t come near to me, I have the bomb,” Bilal warned the police. The accomplice Jahangir had the suicide jacket trigger device. Policemen snatched the trigger in a very witting exercise.
The severity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that 7000 children are reported to have been abducted in PAKISTAN in 2011.
We cannot be sure of the fruitfulness of the Universal Education until the education system is reformed and modernized in Pakistan.
We cannot be sure of any improvement in schooling in Pakistan, where more than 40000 thousand Madrassas are spreading the message of Jihad and hate.
The month of November was the deadliest as 16 children were killed and more than 31 injured in different terrorists incidents in Pakistan.
More than 13 schools have been bombed and destroyed by terrorists in FATA and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province in the Month of November.

CONCLUSION:
Well aware of the power of education for empowering women and girls in the economic, social and political areas of life, the Taliban and other terrorist organizations operating in Pakistan using all brutal means to stop girls from going to school. Taliban along with the feudal lords and Military establishment do not approve the education of girls so that they can marginalize, isolate, discriminate, violate their basic rights, make women economically dependent on men and stoop them to a lower status in this male-dominated society.
The Malala incident has awoken the world community towards the brutality of the Taliban and their medieval ideology of hate and killing. We urge UN to mobilize the world community towards the forgotten children of Pakistan and Afghanistan who have been systematically deprived of education, the right to express their opinion, the right to healthy life and the right to live. We also request the UN Security Council to declare terrorism on children as one of the grave child rights violation.
