May 22: Anadolu Agency report by Aamir Latif states that Pakistan’s parliament is likely to approve a much-awaited legislation on Wednesday aimed at bringing the country’s semi-autonomous tribal region along the Afghanistan border under the federal constitution after 70 years of independence. The FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) Reforms Bill is expected to be adopted smoothly after all political parties except for two voiced their support for the move that will merge the seven tribal regions with the country's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhawa (KPK) province.
