The Pakistani prime minister calls for end of drones U.S.

The Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif has demanded an end to attacks by drones Americans on their territory. Sharif has made ​​this request during his first speech as 'premier' to the National Assembly, who had just confirm as head of government. "We respect the sovereignty of others. Therefore they should respect ours as well as our independence," he said, alluding to the operations they carry these drones. The missions of the drones are controversial, because they are directed against Islamist Taliban rebels and their allies of Al Qaeda in the northwest of the country, but in many cases causing "collateral damage". Regarding the election of Sharif, he received the support of three-quarters of the members of the National Assembly of Pakistan. The conservative leader of the Pakistan Muslim League take the reins of the country over the next five years. This is his third term of government, after two periods when he was prime minister during the 90's. On both occasions, Sharif had to leave the office before the end of the legislature, and in the second term his Cabinet was overthrown by a coup led by then army chief Pervez Musharraf in 1999.
