In this Thursday, April 11, 2013, photo, Pakistani daily laborer, Wakeel Mohammed, 38, who fled Pakistan’s tribal region, due to fighting between the Taliban and the army, and took refuge in Islamabad, sits on a roadside with his daughter Halimah, 1, sitting on his lap and his relative Khadijah, 7, right, near their home, in a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan. Moderate politicians from some of Pakistan’s most violent areas are defying the threat of violence to run in upcoming nationwide elections, but they’re increasingly turning to social media and phone calls that allow them to campaign from a distance. <AP Photo/Muhammed Muheisen>
