He said “this is not the first violent incident between the two and there have been numerous jirgas in the past to settle the issue, but it keeps cropping up. Many people have died, as a result, in these clashes”

The police officer said the members of the Sunny Khel tribe protested on a highway in the area, demanding the arrest of the culprits.

“Local administration and law enforcement officials are mediating between the tribes and we are hopeful that a resolution will be reached soon,” he said.

Darra Adam Khel is in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kohat district, home to a large coal reserve. The area was part of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), a semi-autonomous region that was merged with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2018.
