Description

This Special Report examines the recent progress in, and challenges to, Pakistan's counter-insurgency strategy and advances four main recommendations on how to make international support to Pakistan effective and worthwhile. First, the United States and its international partners must encourage the successful surge strategy but consistently monitor and recommend improvements as necessary. Second, foreign aid and support should go in tandem with persuading Islamabad to expand its operations against most insurgents and terrorists, and its efforts to stabilise the country post-conflict. Third, the United States and its partners must help Pakistan in a way that is both visible and politically sensitive. Finally, lessons learned from the Pakistani surge must be assimilated by the Pakistani military and shared with international partners, especially the US military.
