‘I am the living example of what drones are,’ says Pakistani who was just a boy when U.S. missile struck his family’s home.
“It’s not about me. It’s about every civilian who has been killed in Waziristan.”
Those are the words of Faheem Qureshi who was just a young boy in 2009 when a U.S. drone, on the orders of a newly-elected President Barack Obama, fired a missile that slammed into his uncle’s home in the Waziristan region of Pakistan where family and friends were gathered. Though others in the house were not, Qureshi was lucky to survive.
“What we know of the US is this is what they do to people like me. They uproot us, they kill us, they target us, without any reason. They turn our lives upside down. Of course the US is hated in that part of the world, and it’s hated more because of what they’ve done to people like me.” ~ Faheem Qureshi
