Drone Protests - Pakistan Suspends Nato Supplies

Imran and other protesters spent the night on road, and the sit-in continued on Sunday morning, Geo News reports."We will continue our campaign until America stops killing our innocent people," Global General quoted Imran, as telling around 3,000 protesters on the outskirts of Peshawar, around 35 miles (57 kilometres) from the Afghan border.
"It is our start against American slavery. The people have risen up. They will neither let the corrupt leaders nor their American bosses stay in this country," he added. Imran also offered his services to act as a mediator for any possible peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban. "I am ready to broker," he said, arguing that if America were ready to do that in Afghanistan, why would Pakistan not do it here. Police officer Khurshid Khan said that NATO supplies had been stopped until Monday morning because of the protest.

    Pakistan started as a dark-house in the revolution. It appears to lack the concentrated desire for regime change, as Pakistan recently went through its own regime change and the last election was generally free and fair. Issues like food prices, drones, and government corruption provide smaller targets to protest against, and demonstrations are loosely connected in comparison to regional uprisings. I'm still surprised there hasn't been a more concerted protest movement, however there is still plenty of time left in this revolutionary wave.
