For the peoples of the three hill districts, desired peace seems a far-off dream despite the signing of the CHT Peace Accord almost 20 years ago. International CHT Commission Co-Chairman Sultana Kamal said: “If all the points of the CHT Peace Accord had been implemented in time, we would not be experiencing this bloody situation.”“The CHT is being ripped apart by conflicts of self-interest. Quick implementation of the CHT accord with the participation of local leaders is needed to stop such violence,” she said. But still the CHT is burning and hundreds have been killed in the hands of their own people. According to them, there is no ideological dispute among the active political groups.
