MWM ends its countrywide sit-ins against Kurram situation

Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) Chief Allama Raja Nasir Abbas has announced the end of party's countrywide sit-ins following the peace agreement in Kurram.

A day earlier, the police cracked down on the MWM's central sit-in at Numaish, where the party's activists have been holding the protest to express solidarity with Parachinar and Kurram Agency’s people since December 24.

The situation escalated after police baton-charged and tear-gassed the protesters to clear the area.

During the protests of the MWM, Karachiies suffered a lot due to traffic jams.

Earlier, the Kurram grand jirga successfully reached a consensus, as both factions involved in the conflict signed a peace agreement.

Officials have indicated that the conflicting tribes have committed to implementing the decisions made during the provincial APEX Committee meeting in both letter and spirit.

The grand jirga has been engaged in discussions over the past three weeks in Kohat, facing a stalemate on several unresolved issues pertinent to the ongoing peace initiatives in the Kurram tribal district.

Despite ongoing consultations, a deadlock remained, particularly regarding the contentious requirement for the surrender of heavy weaponry to national advisors, which hindered the signing of the peace agreement.

The absence of consensus on this critical issue has left the peace process in the region stalled. While both parties have largely concurred on most elements of the agreement, the matter of weapon storage continues to create divisions.
