Blog 7:Karuchi, Pakistan Divided to Ease Ethnic Tension

                Last week, corruption in Karuchi, Pakistan was out of control. Local politicians were being killed by political gangsters. Many people were unemployed, homeless, and starving. The people were forced to move in the slum of the city were all of the bloodshed and fighting occured. On October 12,the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan proposed that Karachi be divided into three separate districts- Karachi, Lyari-Keamari and Malir. These areas will be headed by a division commissioner and also headed by elected nazims. Concerned citizens of the country proposed the new plan. The citizens were led by Dr.Kaiser Bengali and they thought that the Defence Housing Authority didn't have the best plan for the majority of the population. Dr. Bengali insists that the bounderies are not ethnically divided. An issue that came up, was that the addition of the new areas would further division because specific parties would benefit.
                 The citizens of Karuchi were able to make their own proposals of how to resolve the violence issue. Althought their efforts are commendable, this will further cause division within Karuchi.  The development of new cities will put opposites against each other and further cause conflicts. Division is not the solution for an issue. Whenever a citizen from another city goes "out of bounds" then they may be put into physical danger. The city is very violent and division will only be a short term relief. Another issue is how corrupted their government is. The citizens don't believe that their best wished are at hand. The citizens need to make a plan to handle the ethnic conflicts because this is a very recent problem. This needs to be handled before it gets very serious such as, opposing areas burning down, or bombing homes. Division puts ethnic groups in centralized areas to be attacked. An opposing group will be able to harm and make damage to the target only. Innocent civilians will be randomly targeted based on their district. The long-term effects of this proposal will do major damage to the people of Karuchi.
