FATA - Pakistan

 

The Federally Administrated Tribal Areas, FATA, is a semi-autonomous tribal region along the border with Afghanistan in northwestern part of Pakistan. This area is under direct control of Pakistan through the Frontier Crimes Regulations law in the times of the British Government in Sub-Continent. Most of the people in these area never support Pakistan but with the passage of time, their next generation changed their minds and they demand for the merger of FATA areas in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa provicnce. So in May, 2018, the amendment was passed to merge the area within Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa province within next two years.

FATA area is situated on the Durand Line, border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Most part of FATA area is mountainous and containing number of natural resources.
