Last night, Pakistan & Afghanistan forces engaged in the border clash at Mohmand area of Pakistan. Pakiatan claims that Afghan Taliban opened fire on Pakistani border posts. Pakistani forces responded strongly & destroyed Taliban firing positions.

WOW!!!

Never thought we would hear this level of honesty from a Western leader, and certainly not Canada, given the direction of Canada in the past 25 years. Canada's shift towards multialignment is quite clear - and this level of honesty from Carney on Western "fiction" about the old order will be warmly welcomed in much of the Global South:

"We knew that the story about the rules-based order was partially false... We knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused and the victim. This fiction was useful [because of the goods provided by American hegemony]... So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

I hope that 2026 will be the Year of positive change in #Iran and #Pakistan. Both countries are going through a very difficult period. Pakistanis and Iranian are yearning for economic progress, political freedom and security. I wish them success.

@iamthedrifter Thank you for educating us and bringing to light this new book.

[Amrullah Saleh @AmrullahSaleh2]

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have won the battles since October 7, 2023 but have entirely lost the war against the Palestinians. The IDF may win more battles but it is absolutely clear they have lost the war in every imaginable aspect. Whatever Israel does these days is a display of muddle through strategy, political hubris and arrogance. The Palestinians are are percieved as the biblical David of today fighting against Goliath. Not the other way round. The Palestinian resilience has pushed the bar very high & has created new heights and standards to become an inspriation for other oppressed nations and communities around the world. Although there is no similar case anywhere else to be compared with. The Palestinian selflessness, gallantry, courage and humility aren’t simply words. These are traits of a people which is shielding them under an un-imaginable degree of pressure & oppression. Israel overused & misused its card of victimhood. It under-estimated the social media. In information warfare Israel lives in 60s & 80 not even 90s. It no longer matters if Hamas leaders are killed or remain alive. They have globalized their cause. They have won the streets. They have won the social media. They have built a new image, sympathatic than ever before, thanks to the hubris of Israel. Israel thought it had a TikTok issue. Wrong. Israel has a talking issue. It can’t talk. It just spits on people.

"Pakistan faces an existential crisis and CJ Bandial has become the centre of the crisis. If the country is to have any hope of coming out of this impasse, the first step will have to be his resignation.” - writes @YousufNazar for @DissentToday:

The @HRCP87 just put out this fact-finding report on #Balochistan. Important summary of some major issues in the province.

And an important acknowledgement of the Baloch critique that the province is treated like an internal colony in a centrist state.

مشترکہ اعلامیہ میں کہا گیا ہے کہ قانون نافذ ہونے سے قبل ہی یک طرفہ اور متنازع بینچ تشکیل دیا گیا، وکلاء رہنماﺅں نے متفقہ طور پر اس اقدام کو اعلیٰ عدالت کو تقسیم کرنے کے مترادف قرار دیا ہے۔

@Matiullahjan919 @Khadimhussain4 Error after error by the CJP - tragedy of errors. He is literally upset and short of solutions. He is taking the matter towards a blind alley

@ClaudeRakisits @husainhaqqani It was the Afghan National Army that got so easily subjugated and hurriedly disbanded itself while also handing over their weapons to the Taliban. It was shameful of the ANA to succumb so quickly

@AlinejadMasih @Natsecjeff When they were unable to stall the return of the Islamic Emirate on a land that they controlled for around two decades, how certain could be us that their actions can bring down a well entrenched Islamic Republic. Change can only come from inside; outside interferences doesn't.

The law is very clear that a person wanted by a court of law and is an absconder cannot be entertained by any court until he gives himself up to the court. How can the Lahore High Court entertain his application? @CMShehbaz

@PakistanFauj @OfficialDGISPR @GovtofPakistan @PTVNewsOfficial @RadioPakistan @GHaZ_NAwE77 @PeaceForPk @dtnoorkhan @Marwat_Sahab @sabena_siddiqi @zari_pakistani Those who need accountability are being appointed to the national accountability watchdog. Shame on you, PDM, and allied parties @CMShehbaz @BBhuttoZardari
How do we strengthen democracy when politicians have no iota of understanding about this concept.

After @ArifAlvi open flouting of law and constitution, why doesn't the Parliament de-seat him by bringing a resolution in the House? Why is the PDM so slack in contriving things? @BBhuttoZardari @CMShehbaz

@KhalidHusainTaj This very so-called judge also let off the hook a military tyrant who was sentenced to death on sedition charges by a Seth from the Pak-Afghan border
