[[File:Pakistan NWFP FATA South Waziristan.svg|thumb|upright=2|Pakistan NWFP [[Federally Administered Tribal Areas|FATA]] South Waziristan. South Waziristan in yellow.]] '''South Waziristan''' ({{lang-ps|جنوبی وزیرستان}}) is the southern part of Waziristan, a mountainous region of northwest Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan and covering some 11,585&nbsp;km² (4,473&nbsp;mi²). It comprises the area west and southwest of [[Peshawar]] between the Tochi River to the north and the Gomal river to the south, forming part of [[Pakistan]]'s [[Federally Administered Tribal Areas]] (FATA). The [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] province lies immediately to the east. The region was an independent tribal territory from 1893, remaining outside of British-ruled empire and [[Afghanistan]]. Tribal raiding into British-ruled territory was a constant problem for the British, requiring frequent punitive expeditions between 1860 and 1945. The region became part of [[Pakistan]] in [[1947]]. * [[Birmal Tehsil]] * [[Ladha Tehsil]] * [[Makin (Charlai) Tehsil]] * [[Sararogha Tehsil]] * [[Sarwekai Tehsil]] * [[Tiarza Tehsil]] * [[Toi Khullah Tehsil]] * [[Wana Tehsil]] {{Asia-stub}} [[Category:Agencies of Federally Administered Tribal Areas]]
