Waziristan is a mountainous region located in the northwest of Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan. It is divided into two main areas: North Waziristan and South Waziristan. The region is known for its rugged terrain and has a rich cultural heritage, primarily inhabited by the Pashtun tribes. Historically, Waziristan has been significant due to its strategic location along the Durand Line, which separates Pakistan and Afghanistan. The area has faced various challenges, including conflicts and military operations, particularly in the context of the War on Terror. Despite these issues, Waziristan remains an important part of the region's history and culture.
