22 JUIN 2013 - 10 ETRANGERS et 1 PAKISTANAIS SONT ASSASSINES AU CAMP DE BASE DIAMIR DU NANGA PARBAT - 

Profondément touchés par ce drame, Jahangeer et moi avons annulé le voyage prévu fin septembre 2013 et avons respecté une période d'attente et d'observation. Nous sommes restés attentifs aux mesures prises par les autorités pakistanaises. Nous avons apprécié leur sérieuse mobilisation qui a abouti à une arrestation des auteurs de l'attentat. Parallèlement, des mesures de protection des étrangers ont été renforcées, notamment sur la Karakoram Highway.

S'il est anticipé de prévoir des séjours dans la vallée du Diamir au  Nanga Parbat, il est de nouveau raisonnable de planifier des treks et expéditions dans le massif du Karakoram (pays Hunza et Baltistan). Nous choisissons donc de maintenir le voyage à skis sur le Baltoro au printemps 2014.

Discours des leaders religieux de Chilas :

The prayers leader in the town of Chilas, who led the prayers on Eid Congregation, Maulana Muhammad Ayaz came down hard on those who were behind attack on foreigners and three high profile security officials.

“How can we say they are Muslims? They are not even human. We strongly condemn the barbaric acts and want government to push them behind bars,” he spoke to the huge crowd.

“We are with the government, and they should have been arrested,” he continued. “May all of them go to hell,” he cursed. “How they can justify shedding blood of innocent humans.”

Des nouvelles données par Jahangeer Shah :

Le 21/08/2013 : The government has taken the action seriously and arrested many people in Diamir.I hope,the Court will also take the best decisions against these culprits.
In Baltistan the tourism is started again like before.Sultan karim is also taking part as guide with a treking group handeled by an agency of our friend. According to Hassan (from Askole) the groups have started again to Baltoro.
In my view for the moment we should not think about the route around Nanga parbat. But, yes to baltoro and around Hunza.

Le 29/07/2013 :

I have got some information from Mr.Fida from Astor (Nanga Parbat area NDLR).  He was been with a climbing group to  rupal side and the police gave him the security with 5 police men. with the expedition teems the police remains till their finishing of all expeditions. In Fairy Meadows  side also is the same situation and the government provides the security to the foreigners. The same situation is on KKH .
One good news that 8 killers have been caught by agencies and are searching for the master mind . I  hope, in some days they will finish their work in success.
According to the manager of Hotel Masherbrum in Skardu, in Baltoro side the flow of tourists is not so bad. they have enough booking still now.

 

and expeditions on the side of diamir and the sides of raikot and Astor are still open for tourists but I think, no tourist will be interested to go towards these sides.

PATO (Pakistan Association of Tour Operator) has forced the authorities in a press conference to catch the murderers and to punish them.

All the tourists who were entered to Pakistan during the tragedy the routes for them are changed to Baltoro or to Biafo hispar.Till now there is enough flow on these routes. I am observing some tourists in Hunza valley as well . An expedition has arrived  to climb Diran peak after the Nanga parbat happenings.

The government authorities are taking good decisions to give protection to the tourists on KKH and in the cities.

We will have to wait for the time to have some better situation next so , no risks for the time being . We can consider  for the routes of Baltoro Biafo-Hispar and the treks around Hunza valley in next if the
things go well in the coming days."
