Casualties from Violence in Pakistan
In the words of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the world is facing “an unprecedented threat from intolerance, violent extremism and terrorism” that affects every country. In Pakistan, intolerance is difficult to measure empirically, but violence and terrorism seem to be on the decline. Data from the third quarter data on violence-related fatalities shows a drop (14%) from 229 in Q2 to 197 in Q3. Injuries sustained from violence also dropped from 275 to 243.
