Residents work in a soccer ball stitching centre at Chaghmalai town in south Waziristan during a military-organised media trip July 26, 2012. Pakistan's military has launched a soccer ball stitching programme in the town of Chaghmalai in an attempt to create jobs for impoverished villagers and help South Waziristan rid itself of its reputation as a haven for militant groups. About half of the 500,000 people living in South Waziristan fled the area when the military launched an operation in 2009 to drive out the Taliban. According to the U.N., an estimated 40,000 people have returned to South Waziristan. Picture taken July 26, 2012. REUTERS/Mustansar Baloch (PAKISTAN - Tags: BUSINESS MILITARY EMPLOYMENT SPORT SOCCER)
