Ayesha Siddiqa argues that Pakistan is not a hybrid regime but a case of constitutional militarism, sanctioned by a parliament that has legislated away its own relevance. https://t.co/hYsHwax4hP
This is a historic day for the Middle East. The collapse of the Assad regime, the tyranny in Damascus, offers great opportunity but also is fraught with significant dangers.
We send a hand of peace to all those beyond our border in Syria: to the Druze, to the Kurds, to the Christians, and to the Muslims who want to live in peace with Israel.
Opposition fighters in Syria, in an unprecedented move, have totally taken over numerous cities, in a highly coordinated offensive, and are now on the outskirts of Damascus, obviously preparing to make a very big move toward taking out Assad. Russia, because they are so tied up in Ukraine, and with the loss there of over 600,000 soldiers, seems incapable of stopping this literal march through Syria, a country they have protected for years. This is where former President Obama refused to honor his commitment of protecting the RED LINE IN THE SAND, and all hell broke out, with Russia stepping in. But now they are, like possibly Assad himself, being forced out, and it may actually be the best thing that can happen to them. There was never much of a benefit in Syria for Russia, other than to make Obama look really stupid. In any event, Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!
The Taliban have BANNED women from studying in medical institutes in Afghanistan.
This is femicide in action. By blocking women from becoming doctors and banning them from seeing male doctors, the Taliban are basically telling Afghan women to suffer and die without healthcare.

The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER. We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy. They can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.
کہا جاتا ہے کہ اسلام آباد کے خونی واقعے میں بھی زیادہ تر #پختون شہید کیے گئے، کیونکہ پنجاب اور سندھ کے قافلے ابھی وہاں نہیں پہنچے تھے۔ پشتون، چاہے کسی بھی جماعت میں ہو، میرے وجود کا حصہ ہے۔ ان اور دیگر قوموں کے افراد کے قتل پر ہم غمگین ہیں اور فوج کے اس عمل کی شدید ترین الفاظ میں مذمت کرتے ہیں۔ یہ #ریاست کی پرانی روش ہے کہ پشتونوں کو ہر نام اور ہر جنگ میں مار ت ہیں۔ کابل سے لے کر اسلام آباد اور کشمیر تک ہر سڑک اور ہر وادی ان کے خون سے سرخ ہو چکی ہے۔ یہ ریاست اب پشتونوں کے لیے فٹ اور مناسب نہیں رہی۔ قومی تحریکوں کے علاوہ اب تحریک انصاف، جمعیت اور جماعت اسلامی میں بھی پشتون مارے جا رہے ہیں۔ لعنت ہو ایسے فاشسٹ ریاست پر جسے پشتون کسی بھی شکل میں قبول نہیں۔

یہ ملک نہیں بلکہ فوجی جرنیلوں نے اسے بدمعاشی کا اڈہ بنا دیا ہے۔ جرنیلوں نے یہاں ہر چیز منظم طاقت کے ذریعے کنٹرول میں لے رکھی ہے۔ پارلیمنٹ کٹھ پتلی ہے اور عدالتیں واٹس ایپ کے ذریعے چلائی جاتی ہیں۔ مشر @ManzoorPashteen کی ایک منٹ تقریر کا یہ👇 حصہ ضرور سنیں۔

Israel approved a deal for a cease-fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon on Tuesday night, signaling that more than a year of conflict will soon be suspended. It will take effect at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday. Here’s how it may look. https://t.co/6oPfNU9NLV
🇵🇰Pakistan's military-industrial complex: a shadow over democracy. The military's deep economic interests fuel its political dominance, diverting resources from social development. This complex perpetuates a culture of militarism, hindering Pakistan's progress!!
