The seven Federally Administered Tribal Agencies (FATA) were mostly created by the British late in the 19th century; only three were created after Pakistan came into being in 1947: Mohmand (1951) and Bajaur and Orakzai (1973). The FATA extend north from Baluchistan Province in the following order: South Waziristan, North Waziristan, Kurram, Orakzai, Khyber, Mohmand, Bajaur. All but Orakzai have a common border with Afghanistan. The FATA are administered by the Governor of the NWFP, who acts as the agent of the President of Pakistan, who represents the federal government. Policy concerning the Afghan Refugees is set by the President. For more on the FATA, see Akbar S. Ahmed, Social and Economic Change in the Tribal Areas, (Karachi, Oxford University Press, 1977).
