Transporting

[edit]

The article mentions a few times that the victims were being "transported" in a convoy between two points. But it never mentions for what reason. What was the reason for the travel, and why was it done in a convoy? Criticalthinker (talk) 08:20, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Criticalthinker, the area of Kurram has been pretty notorious for secterian conflict with major examples being 2007 Kurram Agency conflict and 2023 Kurram Parachinar conflict and there were two major incidents of secterian violence in the area this year, the Shiite being a minority and often the major target of secterian violence have to travel in the form of convoys for their safety and are escorted by police, Paramilitary and military forces, this particular convoy was of over 200 vehicles with 700 person's traveling and was escorted by police forces, that's the reason.

No, I think I understand that. I'm ask what was the purpose of the trip to Peshawar? Was this for shopping, medical visits...seems like a noteworthy piece of information to include in the article. Criticalthinker (talk) 21:39, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It was like a sort of temporary evacuation following incidents of secterian violence earlier this year Waleed (talk) 04:55, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Kurram massacre" vs "Kurram attack"

[edit]

There has been significant discussion that "massacre" is not NPOV in titles except when it is a WP:COMMONNAME. Its worth examining what is the commonname here. So far I only see one source (The Express Tribune[1]) call this event "Kurram massacre". By contrast, several sources give it the name "Kurram attack": Business Standard, AFP, The News International.

@Noble Attempt do you have objections moving it to "Kurram attack"? VR (Please ping on reply) 21:21, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Vice regent I have no objections to moving the article, especially given the sources you listed. Thank you for asking! Noble Attempt (talk) 00:47, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
