Description
Karachi -- is the biggest city in Pakistan. It is the country's commercial hub, financial capital, naval base, and only operational seaport. For the past several months, this city has once again been in the grip of violence. Gunshots ringing out in poor neighbourhoods claimed the lives of more than 400 individuals in the months of July and August. Poor neighbourhoods house about 50 percent of Karachi's total population, and 89 percent of the people living there are below the poverty line. Karachi has been the scene of several waves of violence since the birth of Pakistan in 1947. Even during its quietest days over the past two or three decades, the city has always been restive.
