Description

KARACHI -- Violence has never been a stranger to the people of Karachi, Pakistan's commercial centre. However, as fighting has worsened in recent months, some citizens are trying to stem the tide. PBS' Fred de Sam Lazaro reports on an appeal for calm in a city divided by ethnic violence. FRED DE SAM LAZARO: Modern-day Karachi has been defined by migration. In 1947, at independence, when the British partitioned India, millions of Indian Muslims flocked to the city. So did people from other provinces of the new Pakistan, like Punjab and the northwest along the Afghan border, and migration from that troubled region skyrocketed after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and after 9/11. Today, Karachi's neighbourhoods, its politics, and much of its strife happen along ethnic lines. In recent weeks, hundreds of people have been killed in ethnic clashes in this mega-city of some 16 million. ARIF HASAN, architect: I think almost all of Karachi's issues are related to the conflict in Afghanistan.
