After years of bloody militant attacks and growing extremism, Pakistan seems to have turned a corner of late with the US saying things are looking the best they have in years in the troubled state.
But it’s been a long painful haul, with thousands of Pakistanis killed during the fight against the Taliban, and many critical of the involvement of the so-called ally, America.
One of the most outspoken has been author and journalist Fatima Bhutto, who’s the niece of slain opposition leader and former Pakistani Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto.
Fatima has also never held back in her criticism of her aunt and of Benazir Bhutto’s husband and current President, Asif Ali Zardari.
George Negus asks her about her ‘complicated’ relationship with much of the Bhutto family, what she wants for Pakistan’s future and why she’s remaining on the political sidelines despite being so vocal.
Watch the interview this Sunday 28/03/2010 at 8.30pm on SBS ONE.
You can also still watch George's past interviews with Benazir Bhutto (2007) and former President Musharraf (2005) and view all of Dateline's recent coverage from Pakistan.
