The Pakistan battles

Pakistan (and the US) have tried to stand up "local militias" in the tribal areas to fight the Taleban. During this current Pakistani Swat offensive, a number of these militias have struck against Taleban fighters, like today's report of a "militia" in Upper Dir killing 7 Taleban.

I just wonder what's going to happen to these locals when the Pakistanis end their offensive, and the locals are once again on their own.
