The Enemy Attacks

While the army is successfully whopping the taliban's behind in northern Pakistan, the taliban fearing it's end is trying it's last efforts to scare the nation. Over the last few days the taliban is responsible for 5 deadly attacks throughout the country [the lahore being the most deadliest]. While the casualties of the blasts are far less than what the taliban is facing, a death is a death. But our nation should understand that we are not going against our muslim brothers but animals who have no value for human life whatsoever so we should not feel scared or terrorized but yet more motivated in our cause and struggle. I ask all of my Pakistani brothers and sisters to unite and fight this disease before it becomes capable of threatening our survival and Inshallah victory will be ours!

Rupal Valley

Rupal Valley is located in the Astore District of Pakistan's Northern Areas. It lies just south of 8,126 meter Nanga Parbat Mountain and is popular for treks to the mountain's Rupal Face, one of highest mountain faces in the world. The Rupal is home to Shina speaking herdsmen, who have grazed and harvested wood in the valley for hundreds of years. Overgrazing has caused some loss of vegetation, leading to wind-blown dust. Towering peaks on either side of the valley make it a breathtaking, albeit remote destination for adventurers.

Nanga Parbat

Located in the Northern Areas, Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest mountain on Earth. Nanga Parbat means "Naked Mountain" in Urdu. It is also known as the "Killer Mountain", Nanga Parbat was one of the deadliest of the Eight-thousanders for climbers in the first half of the twentieth century; since that time it has been less so, though still an extremely serious climb. It is also an immense, dramatic peak that rises far above its surrounding terrain.
