Yesterday I tweeted a photo of a busy market scene in #Lyari, & many folks responded by thanking the Rangers & the Pakistan army, so let's talk about the long and convoluted history of the army & intelligence agency's in one of Karachi's most troubled areas (a long thread).
The 'gangwar' that gripped Lyari for years was the result both of interference by some leaders of the PPP & by members of the military establishment (including the army & intelligence agencies). Parts of both the PPP & the establishment worked together to prop up the gangs.
One of the earliest evidences of this is the fact that Rehman Dakait who was arrested in 2006 by Chaudhry Aslam and kept in custody for 3 months in Quetta was 'allowed' to escape allegedly by members of the intelligence agencies in August 2006. Why? dawn.com/news/262835
