Sectarian Violence and Peace in Pakistan’s Kurram District

Kurram District has once again emerged as a pressure point in South Asia’s security landscape. Sectarian Violence and Peace in Pakistan’s Kurram District is a Strategic Intelligence Report that examines the resurgence of Shia–Sunni violence in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and the uneasy peace brokered at the end of 2024.

The report analyses how long-standing sectarian fault lines—exacerbated by weak governance, land disputes, militant manipulation, and external interference—erupted into sustained violence resulting in heavy casualties and infrastructure damage. It explains why the December peace accord, though significant, remains structurally fragile and vulnerable to relapse without systemic reforms.

Crucially, the report assesses wider regional implications: cross-border spillover into Afghanistan, radicalisation risks, exploitation by extremist groups, and the potential impact on India’s internal security, particularly in sensitive border regions. Scenario-based analysis outlines escalation, stalemate, and stabilisation pathways, helping readers understand where the situation is most likely heading.

Designed for policymakers, security professionals, geopolitical risk analysts, defence observers, and South Asia specialists, this intelligence product converts localised violence into strategic foresight.

Sectarian flashpoints rarely stay contained. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you track these fault lines early—before instability spills across borders and reshapes regional security equations.
