NATO SUPPLY

 

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is an inter government military force of different countries based on North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on April 4th 1949.

 

Currently NATO's Secretary General is Sir Andres Fogh Rasmussen. Mainly NATO is working now a days in Afghanistan through gateway of Pakistan. Pakistan land is the link to provide them their needed supply. But due to November 2012 Drone attacks by NATO in Pakistan, Pakistan banned the supply route to Afghanistan. This stoppage was hurting Americans a lot as 80 - 85 % supply of NATO was delivering through Pakistan route thereby saving a lot of extra expense. NATO supply through Pakistan was full filling the needs of more than 1 lac 40 thousand soldiers, so Americans compelled Pakistan to open the supply route. Pakistan put some demands to Americans in order to open the supply. Those demands are as follows:
NATO will stop the DRONE attacks in Pakistan territory.
Pakistan demanded US 5000 $ on each truck carrying NATO supply.
Pakistan demanded the release of Dr. Afiya Saddique.
American's apology on November attacks.

Most of the demands were fulfilled, however, release demand of Afiya was not fulfilled. NATO supply route through Pakistan remained close for 7 to 8 months and was opened when Americans apologized on November attacks.
