Abstract

This article seeks to understand the impact of the US drone campaign on the common people of Waziristan, located in Pakistan’s erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Drawing primarily on the author’s interviews with different segments of the tribal society, civil and military decision-makers, and Pakistani intelligentsia, as well as her surveys involving 400 tribesmen, the chapter specifically focuses on the plight of tribal civilians in North Waziristan, the principal target of US drone strikes.
