0504hrs:
On this day of Eid we (3 of my co-citizens including my son and I) find ourselves waking up in Bagh rather than our respective homes in Sehnsa, Panjera & Khuiratta. A meeting with the incumbent 'prime minister' of AJK - that should have taken place when we were a matter of a few feet away in Muzaffarabad yesterday - has to be happen at least 140 kilometres away in the 'PM' s home village of Palangi (Mumtazabad) today. The distance from home in Sehnsa is another 140 or so kilometres away, where I should be with the rest of my family, as the PM is with his family.
This is just one more example of why there is almost zero governance in this territory. I have to meet him as I want to save lives in this utterly peaceful rights movement, that began just over 3 years ago and is swelling towards a genuinely free government (free from outside interference and equally responsible along with its citizens).
