Pakistan has suffered the latest in a series of terrorist attacks, after a university in the north west of the country was stormed by armed gunmen. At least thirty people have been killed, and dozens injured.
Responding to the latest attack, Pakistan’s prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, said: “We are determined and resolved in our commitment to wipe out the menace of terrorism from our homeland.”
The attack is the latest in a long line of deadly insurgent attacks affecting Pakistan in recent years, as car bombs, suicide attacks and militant incursions continue to impact the country. Despite the concerted crackdown on domestic terrorism in the wake of 2014’s attack on an army school in Peshawar, some areas of Pakistan remain at risk of further attacks.
We’d like our readers in Pakistan to share their perspectives of life in the country in the context of these attacks. Where in the country do you live or work? Do the attacks impact your day to day life? What’s the mood where you are? Do you feel the security situation is improving, and are you optimistic that things will improve in future?
