Operation Enduring Freedom launched to punish the perpetuators of
9/11 was soon spilled into Pakistani tribal areas. Thousands of
militants from Al Qaida and other groups converted the areas into their
strong hideouts and jump-off points for exporting terrorism in Pakistan
and Afghanistan. Pakistan committed its security forces to quell the
insurgents in Waziristan in series of major and minor operations with
mixed success rates. The research paper investigates the Pakistan
counter insurgency operation insurgency and corresponding success of
each major operation and factors responsible to their success or failure
for the period from 2002 to 2018. The research nature is descriptive,
mixing quantitative and qualitative components for contents analyses.
The research found that first phase of the counter insurgency operation
(2002-2009) did not pay dividends as envisaged. Counter Insurgency
strategy of phase II (2010-2018) tailored on the lessons learnt proved
to be promising with unprecedented results. The research concludes
that hallmark of Phase II strategy were clear, hold, and build and
succeeded in winning hearts and minds of the population.
