答疑：xyfxyfxyf123The Pakistani government looks set to lift its six-month blockade on the transport of NATO goods through Pakistan to Afghanistan. Though that might signal a step towards improving relations between Washington and Islamabad, many Pakistanis are against such a move. In the port city of Karachi, Aleem Maqbool has been talking to one man desperate for the supply route to be reopened.
"Forget politics, we're thinking of how to feed ourselves," says Mohammed Baki. "It's hunger and poverty that forces us to do this job. And if I die driving a NATO truck, like my nephew did, it will be because of my poverty."
Just a few days before Pakistan blocked the NATO supply route, Mohammed's nephew Ammier was driving a NATO oil tanker, when gunmen pulled up alongside and sprayed the cab with bullets.
Mohammed points out the bullet holes in Ammier's truck, now parked alongside dozens of other NATO oil tankers close to Karachi's port. Among them is the vehicle Mohammed himself drives. It's been here, sitting idle for more than six months. During that time, he's not received the salary and in spite of the risks and what happened to his nephew, he's desperate for the NATO blockade to be lifted to allow him to earn a living.巴基斯坦政府似乎打算解除对北约补给线（途经巴基斯坦境内，开往阿富汗）长达6个月的封锁。尽管该举动可能代表美国和巴基斯坦的关系稍有改善，但还是遭到了许多巴基斯坦人的反对。在港口城市卡拉奇，阿利姆·马克布勒采访了一个迫切希望重开补给线的男人。
“管他什么政治，我们只想着怎么养活自己。”穆罕默德·巴基说。“我们被饥饿和贫穷逼着干这活，如果我和我侄子一样死在北约的卡车上，那就是贫穷逼死我的。”
就在巴基斯坦封锁北约补给线的前几天，默罕默德的侄子阿米尔驾驶着北约的油罐车，几名持枪者在他旁边停下了车，然后对着驾驶室疯狂扫射。
默罕默德指出了阿米尔卡车上的弹孔。现在这辆卡车与许多北约油罐车一起停在卡拉奇港口附近，其中就有默罕默德自己开的那辆，已经在那里闲置了6个多月。在这期间，他没有收入。尽管开车风险很大，他的侄子又发生这样的悲剧，他还是迫切希望能够解除对北约的封锁，好让他生存下去。
