The Only Solution: US Out of Pakistan

Pakistani citizens have a protest rally in Karachi on 27 May 2009 against the US and the military operation in the Swat, Buner and Malakand districts.

The military ordered the offensive under US pressure to crush alleged rebels in the northwest, which Washington said, 'threatened the very existence of the Muslim country and posed the greatest terror threat to the West.'

Around 2.4 million people have fled fighting as soldiers struggle to wrest back the northwest Swat and two nearby districts from alleged Taliban presence, since last month to within 100 kilometres (60 miles) of the capital Islamabad.
