Abstract
The main problem that we are facing right now is those actions taken above our heads, without asking the people: for example, when well-wishing foreigners create their own NGOs for the 'protection' of our people and our valleys... These outsiders just involve a few people [in their projects], so the rest of the people stay away. They just say: There is an NGO at work, so why should we do anything for nothing? Or when political groups [i.e. factions] are involved in a project, they say: We don't belong to that party, so why should we do it? So the unity is gone... in this way, the people stop working together. (Saifullah Jan n.d)
