KABUL (Pajhwok): Border and Tribal Affairs Minister Mohammad Gulab Mangal on Thursday said it would be difficult to maintain peace in the country by military means alone without tribes support.
Mangal told reporters here instead military operations and establishment of military bases, it would be better if the government talked to tribal elders about peace in their areas.
Peace could come if tribal elders and influential figures were consulted, he said, adding that “after military operations, security officials declare the targeted area as cleared of militants . . .
