Thousands of people protested against state terrorism, extortion, kidnapping for ransom, target killing. There only demand is the restoration of peace in the region. The Swat Valley came under the influence of militants in 2007 when the Taliban challenged the state injunction under Mullah Fazlullah.
A crucial military operation in 2009 succeeded in eliminating militancy from the region. Recently, however, there have been reports that militants have resurfaced after 12 years and are threatening villagers with dire consequences if they report them to the authorities.
