To all those who're unaware , just before the insurgency broke out in J&K in 1989 , there was a massive upheaval in their so called Northern Areas of Gilgit Baltistan where the demands were more or less the same as now but also included massive protests against the changing of demographics in the region by Kana's regime wherein he got Sunni Punjabi Mussalman & Pashtun settlers in those Northern Areas .
IIRC based on an article covering those events which I read in the archives online much later , the casualties rate was some ~ 10,000 . Yet you hear next to nothing on it these days in Paxtan nor did it affect the setting up of camps by Fauji Foundation to support the insurgency in Kashmir which erupted barely a few years after this incident.
Moral of the story - don't have your hopes too high. Fauji Foundation & the Shi'as there have both visited this territory before & both know how this will end . Just sit back & enjoy Paxtan's descent into chaos while gradually preparing for the final reckoning whenever it comes. Meanwhile we ought to strengthen our border defences all along our western borders to prevent people coming in , which may well begin as a trickle to test waters here before turning into a veritable flood if we keep up with our complacency.
