VICE Guide to Karachi with Suroosh Alvi : Riding with a Killer (Part 5/5)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2012
- Sure, we hear about violence in Pakistan all the time, but in 2011, more than three times as many people were killed in Karachi than the number of people killed in American drone strikes in the tribal areas. VICE explores the seedy underbelly of this ultra-violent metropolis of more than eighteen million people, and meet the players who make Karachi one of the craziest cities on earth.

It's amazing that you can just find this kind of stuff with a simple UA-cam search. the guys at vice are doing some truly incredible work.
Matthew Arias ikr I wish they had their own channel not some featurette for hbo
look at them nowadays tho
lmao what he did was nothing. i live here in karachi. situation's a lot better now but in the 2008-2012 era i was put on gun-point once and once their was a kidnapping attempt on me
jeez good luck to ya man
@@jester4886 exactly vice has just lost its edge completely different reporting styles and subjects are ridiculous too just stupid at times
Holy shit. You know it's bad when even VICE gets scared and leaves early.
+ShinerCCC They're all sheltered pussies trying to act like they were in danger when they weren't.
@navin - you just a salty karachi resident lol
With all due respect 7 murders for every 100,000 isn't exactly South America and Caribbean murderous. I lived in Venezuela where there is at least a 100 for every 100,000 And the chances of you not getting killed are higher than the opposite. I also feel the interviewer jumped the gun. He was acting too White in such an area where blending in and connecting with the locals is of utmost importance. The interviewer lacked street smarts plain and simple.
That was frightening when that driver was saying he has some places to show
I was just thinking almighty God please save vice journalist
Facts🤣😅😕
"Whoever hasn't been to Karachi hasn't been killed yet."
- Native Karachi Ambulance Driver
That's some quotable shit!
+Gordon Millar I've been there multiple times its pretty safe now.
Gordon Millar ive lived in Karachi for 6 years!!!! No one has done shit to me
As a native Punjabi-Urdu speaker, the main dude's Urdu is Terrible. I understand he had a Western upbringing, as did I. Additionally the correct translation for that quote is actually Whoever hasn't been to Karachi hasn't died yet.
I go to Karachi almost every year and for me it’s safe everything has changed it’s peaceful there.
This is the perfect setting for a GTA game...
They should drop a GTA Karachi while we wait on GTA 6
+ozil Gta 6 should be gta karachi
Mayank Mallik true
Driving would be kinda restricted. Also I don’t think the decks would want to work in a environment were people get killed every single day.
uncharted is set a lot in the middle east, its a pretty dope game
Hello,
im a dutch guy in karachi for 3 months now and i must say that it is not so bad here. The situation definitly has changed for the good.
Much love to all the good people of karachi.
Yes Situation right now In Karachi Is Far Better Than it used to in Past...peace
Brother this documentary was made 10 years ago ofcourse its changed alot, Karachi got alot better when the rangers actually took control without them Karachi is nothing!
I m also from Karachi .. and believe there is lot of Soo much difference between 11 years ago and today .. salute to there journalism that even we cannot go to lyari at 3 am in that period of Karachi ..
The target killer interview was so sad you can tell he’s sad and regrets his life
Poverty is the biggest terrorist
Yea
He want even a killer. He just scammed them lol
@@johncuervo3019 nah now that Scicario was for real, all one word answers because he knows what he does and the people that hire him know that so he has nothing too prove by talking a whole lot ......fake dude would have been trying so hard to prove by talking and trying to brag about how he does it with extra bravado and shit, this dude was real, his regret was real!!!!!.....so he definitely for real......( sorry this weed got me talking alot as well)!!!!....
He is filthy animal will rot on road someday
This is one of the main reasons why Vice is preferred over other media. Their honest hard neutral journalism going great lengths.
Not anymore lol. Look where they are now with their videos
@@hashimahmed2409 vice news
No really neutral though
Remember how the whole series started with "Allahu Akbar"?
@@hashimahmed2409 You gotta look in different places nowadays. Vice on HBO, for example. But the 'Old school Vice' is still there, you just half to know where to look

6:12 have you ever killed a wrong guy , yeah 3-4 times
they ain't no respawning
Karachi , went through it's worst but thank god , now all of that shit is resolved. Rangers took over the city within the year they wiped all of the criminal ass , like for real . "Just shot them straight" . Now its a city redeveloping , yeah we got some poverty issues and all , buttt thank god it's all gone
Gta paxtan
So that's what The Stig does in between seasons... that explains a lot....

Somewhere I read this on internet--

Netflix has gotta make a Narcos: Karachi version
Well Karachi is completely different now. No killings, no gangs, all have been wiped out by the Pakistan army.
Karachi should have own narcos, gang of wassepur and godfather 😂😂
8 years in the future after this video, multiple military operations has been conducted and the city got cleared of all of the militant, Mobs and gangs. In fact Liyari is one of the safest place in Karachi now. Sure there is still robbing and theft in the city but as per organized crime its over.
Suroosh should come back and cover the situation again
Good for pakistan
Who knows .. there is some same people alive in lyari .. and this is the truth
Its amazing what people complain about in 1st world countries... Just be glad you have rights at least.
>implying
I am sometimes part of it. Have you not caught yourself complaining about something but then realize its stupid? haha and when compared to shit like this is really fucking stupid.
karachi's problem isn't that people don't have enough rights. it's that people have too many freedoms and with nothing deterring sociopaths from being.... sociopathic. the freedom to whack someone if you can pay a killer a thousand bucks. the freedom to make a living kidnapping and extorting if you can pay off the cops or otherwise avoid getting caught.
they have more rights and freedoms in Karachi than u have in the states stop believing all that propaganda u moron
still this place is pretty much fucked up
Earlier in documentary:
"I don't know how I keep ending up around people with guns, it just... happens."
Now:
"...and so we arranged to have an interview with a target killer."
Goddamn, I love this host guy.
He is the founder of vice.
Man I was shocked at 20% Mafia and 80% Political!
that's the truth !
IKR that is sad as hell when the mafia uses less contract killers than politicians
Our world is a cruel place.We should stop blaming religion and certain types of people for the crimes of humanity.
well it makes sense the mafia have their own killers so they wouldn't need to call contracts. but still the government there is so fucking corrupt.
He means the targets were 20% mafia and 80% political. Not that those where the rates of who hired him.
"We also wanted to take you to the Jinnah Hospital"
Fuck.
No, He meant he wanted to show the patients and dead bodies in Jinnah Hospital.
ha ha.. directly to morgue
I remember coming back from my tuition with my uncle when i heard a gunshot and saw a man dead in the middle of the road,that was a along time back here in karachi though.since then karachi has been taken over by the pak army and it has been very peaceful living here
I know man.
the golden days of vice, miss it
There is no "Golden Days" it depends who is producing it do you think VICE is just one guy?There is still VICE syories about wars and stuff latest one I know of being in Jan
now how am I going to complain about having no milk for my cereal tomorrow morning?
"They will shot me and you"
*smiling*
Yeah...
sweet eating crocodiles r the luckiest in karachi!
It was prolly human meat.
@@hammadhussain3082 WOAH
@@nnn-ey6yt that was a joke bro. LMAO
Man, that was a great piece! Pretty ballsy journalism, glad someone is doing stuff like this. This is real journalism, as opposed to the corporate fluff crap we get fed all the time. Glad I found these guys on HBO last night. Keep doing what you're doing!
I wish Vice would revisit Karachi, specially now that it has improved soo much and compare the experience that they had in the past to what they would experience now.
Waffle waffle
The vice guy reminds me of Jean Reno.
Ye! LEON THE PROFESSIONAL!
😂😂
Oh yeahhh. . . I kept thinking who he looks like
Very brave on your part to do this! Documentaries like these give an insight into the chaos happening in Pakistan! Hats off and wish you and your team well in your journey ahead!
All 5 Parts are brilliant. One of the best documentary. This is something another level. Kudos to Reporter, his friend, Cameraman, and Vice team. Big Work.
These Documentaries are the reason why I am still a vice subscriber :)
But they don't make them anymore.
This series kind of was beautiful. I have lived in Karachi my whole life and have to say this is the closest thing Ive seen to expressing harsh realities of Karachi. Sure, it misses out a lot of positive things that happen in the city but it shows what majority of karachiites live in, not just upper class elites. You went to places even I would not dare to go (probably because Im a woman - you must have noticed there was not a single woman who was featured in this).
Hahaha when u pointed that ur right! There was not a single woman. I hope things are better now in karachi after a decade.
@@federalboobieinspector it's not nearly perfect (especially with the current political/economic crisis) but it's a world better than a decade ago when this documentary was shot. the pakistan rangers came thru and cleaned the place out very well. so most of the problems of poverty and petty crime are still very bad, but this sort of mafia and political violence has been almost exterminated
Can’t stop watching anything that voice puts out. You guys rock!
I just found you guys, Vice, and your videos are awesome. I'm doing a marathon right now.
This just like iam watching Netflix series.
Pakistan in 2018 is totally changed. It's now alot better place then it was in 2012.
It’s the same
Thanks for the the many UPLOADS .
i cant stop watching these videos..vice making excellent video and pushing boundaries as always !
*_This is Bloods vs Crips except they have semiautomatic-automatic weapons_*
They got full automatic weapons and Uzair Balouch once decapitated a man and play football with his head
Amazing.. I'm at a loss of words.
I've always heard of how bad things are in Pakistan but seeing it as it happens is shocking to say the least. Thank you, Vice, for this amazing documentary.
Thank you for an awesome documentary... blessings to the people of Pakistan.
one of the most awesome documentaries I have ever seen!!!!!!
*_How many connections does VICE have?_*
I have spent 17 years in Pakistan, and yes the documentary was really well done and yes these issues do exist. But the guys are a little too dramatic, Its not all doom and gloom. This is only one side of the city so don't base your opinion on Karachi or Pakistan based on a single documentary. Still well done guys!
nerd6292 this is vice and that's how they do it, I you want to see happy life and bars and pubs you should find another channel
Granted it’s vice etc- but lots of people making judgements here- but it’s like watching a hit piece on crime in Detroit and saying that the US has no law and order
CRISTIANO RONALDO you would be surprised how ISI has helped America thats why they are 1# i dont care about the Pakistani police they will never commit to the job but 100% our intelligence agency is on the top of the ranking
They were not dramatic. Anybody would be overwhelmed looking at affairs such as these, where 80% of contract killing is political and 20% is done by mafia
@@9899013543 Bhai up Bihar nhi Gaye Kya kabhi
You guys and girls have my utmost respect for your work - cant figure out how you can fund this amazing stuff
This is real reporting, you guys deserve a lot more views and a lot more money. I especially like this reporter he gets the story and when he doesn't, he digs it out.
I hope that vice would come again to karachi in 2019 and make a followup
These guys play real life pubg😂
Fortnite
it is hitman tho
I am speechless. VICE you are an amazing window on the world. Most people don't do windows but you have the cleanest I've seen. Thanks
love the whole docu!!!
now that's some Badass journalism....Kudos To team VICE
its amazing and dare work... I wish to see your work like this here in India too... I am sure you will get enough content
I went to Karachi after 9 years this summer and was in awe at the state of the country I fear for my family there everyday I will work as hard as I can to get my family over here in America where I can love and cherish them
Very good documentary VICE please keep the videos coming. The scene with the contract killer was the best when he confessed that he turned to drugs to cope with his remorse because of the job he had was enlightening.
Update 2020 and I can't believe when I'm saying this, but Karachi is completely different now. Since operations, Pakistan has turned a complete 180. I remember watching national TV and my father contemplating that Pakistan would become the next Somalia. I can't forget that moment. Few points.
Mqm doesn't exist anymore. It's leader has been cut off from all contact and it's now more of a husk.
Pakistan is safe, guys.
Also watching smug mqm dudes from 8 years ago vs now is pretty funny to watch. These guys were more dangerous then you'd think. Think about Pablo Escobar but with a political party.
360 lol 🤣🤣
It means coming to exact same point were it was. Think about it😆
360 right????....
Dude... It's called a complete 180...
360 means going back to what it was originally...
@@GauravMuralidharan thanks, I've corrected it.
Glad to know it's been almost 10 years, and things have changed tremendously.
It is?
@@prateek2645 yes! The police was corrupt and everything, the sindh government wanted to do the operation itself it didn’t want the army in but the police were delaying it. Government got frustrated army got pissed they came in with rangers cleared everyone out arrested killed them all and it’s over. Now even tourists are back in Karachi you can see their videos on youtube. From 3rd dangerous city to now 93rd in 2020 Karachi by now might be out from top 100 so yeah that pretty much says it. Man a great Netflix series can be made on this 🤔

@@prateek2645 maybe nobody comes to your house that’s why it’s hard to believe 😂

Great series!
I've definitely seen improvement in Karachi
In 2k19 it's all different now
Brilliant documentary... Thanks Vice...
also from Karachi .. and believe there is lot of Soo much difference between 11 years ago and today .. salute to there journalism that even we cannot go to lyari at 3 am in that period of Karachi

Idk I started laughing when he said “the only crocodiles 🐊 in the world that eat desserts” it sounded like some stoner shit lol . That was a random interlude
Thank you Vice, finally media I can dig, must find ways to support what you do
This is terrific reporting,
Dear Please make a another documentary on Karachi after the ranger operation. you cant see such kind of things mean violence & craziness.
Then, Genral Raheel shareef comes! A war begings, Rangers and SSG wipes out all these people and now karachi is a tourist spot! People live there in lyrai!
Yesss we live peacefully again
Very enlightning
Great documentary.
VICE Documentaries are really good. Being an Indian too I like such documentaries. Especially Suroosh Alvi taking so much risk. I hope there should be some strict law and order to change such circumstances, to avoid gang wars and terrorism
4 years damn
മലയാളി അല്ലയോടാ..?
its no more like this....
One if the best documentary series in Vice arsenal.
Awesome , I lived in Karachi till my college studies, it’s a true picture ,simply awesome documentary!
Lol Pakistan assassin creed.
Most of them have sent to hell by Rangers ....MQM is finished with it's armed groups
MQM is renamed and arranged in a new party PSP with a new puppet waiting the right time he will do the same to the street once his colleagues did
Thank you Thank you Thank you VICE for making this and posting it for free! It is so delightful to be informed!
Wow, that was one intense documentary film!
10:28"I am very sorry " 😎
Hey vice ...why dont you visit all these areas of pakistan again in 2018.so much things have changed .
Awesome docu!
I am still waiting on my GTA Karachi , Rockstar games.
You guys should remake Karachi series. Things have changed a lot , words coming from a karachite,😂
The problem actually has spread all over pakistan now. Pakistan is living on imf 6 billion package, pakistan has been charged with 6 billion for some kind of gold mining issue/curruption.
Inflation is killing peoples.
That is hell on earth.
You have internet over there ?
Things have definitely changed in Karachi.. now flies have taken all over and it's become a 'mansoon hell'
@@dutch2smoked927fast enough to make things happen 😂
headz of course bro... tf? Pakistan isn’t a dessert or a war torn country
This is another example of great reporting by Vice. Thank you all for your efforts. I doubt it pays much other than a tax write off, yet the reports are a great source of information in a language I can relate to you. You people are great. Good job.
This is the world we live in. Thanks Vice for showing it to us!
mqm? MQM!!!!!
berz zerk im 2 years late but this comment made me LOL
Aadarsh Moses same lmao
MQM☝️!!!!
target killer is "unique" and "original"! lol
Very nice reporter and good documentary
Exceptional stuff!
This is 2012 documentary. in 2016, 80% of target killing and terrorists activities is reduced thanks to Army operation. Secondly 70% of Karachi was always secure. 30% had terrorists activities but now reduced.
Here you go dude:
KARACHI: The military establishment on Saturday hinted that the ‘Karachi operation’, which has been going on for the last five years, is not going to end anytime soon and efforts from the armed forces would continue to “further improve the city’s security environment” in the days to come.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), senior officials expressed the resolve during a visit of Chief of the Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa to the Pakistan Rangers Sindh Headquarters. He was briefed about the progress and ongoing efforts for maintaining peace in Karachi and other parts of Sindh.
“DG Rangers Sindh Major General Muhammad Saeed gave a detailed briefing about security situation of the province, including law and order in Karachi. The army chief appreciated efforts of Pakistan Rangers Sindh and all other law enforcing agencies towards improving the security environment,” the statement added.
The Rangers-led operation - which was launched in Sept 2013 - has improved the security situation in the city to a large extent as peace was restored to residential and commercial areas after years of bloodshed on sectarian, ethnic and political grounds. However, the city has witnessed a sudden surge in other criminal activities in recent months with street crimes being the top challenge for the law-enforcement and security agencies.
The army chief’s message to continue efforts for “further improvement” and sustainable peace in Karachi suggested that the paramilitary force-led exercise, which had already completed its five years, would continue.
“[The] COAS said that Karachi is the engine of national economy and we shall further improve its security environment so that positive business trajectory is maintained,” the ISPR said, adding that Karachi Corps Commander Lieutenant General Humayun Aziz accompanied the army chief during his visit.

Awesome series of vdos revealing some great truths underlying our society.....
it was 7 to 8 years ago now it is completely changed thank god bad days are over
Being a Canadian born but living 14 years of life in Karachi, I am sad to say this isn't half of the stuff that happens there
