So, if and when there is an insurgency in Kashmir because of the injustice, are they going to blame Afghanistan?
If the people are happy with the government, if there is no bad blood or animosity, the people would never fight back. It isn’t that complicated.
What should then the government do? Maybe stop being oppressive, unjust, and unlikeable.
The USA needs to broken up into small countries, similar to Europe.
Then those countries need to go to war with each other, similar to Europe.
This would keep them busy for a couple of centuries while the rest of the world recovers from their malignant occupation.
When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’
Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.
So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
To civil society, journalists, and state officials:
I am writing as a grieving wife, seeking the immediate and lawful release of my husband, Muhammad Saad.
At approximately 3:30 AM this Monday, 12–13 masked men with guns forcibly entered our home and took him away without presenting any warrant or lawful authority. This was an unlawful deprivation of liberty and a direct violation of due process.
Only after legal pressure did personnel within CTD register an FIR on laughable grounds. This post facto action raises serious concerns of mala fide intent and abuse of process, where the law is invoked after the fact to justify an illegal act.
Saad is a journalist, researcher, and Political Science scholar. His work engages with complex subjects, including Balochistan, Kashmir, and international affairs. He has interviewed recognised public figures such as Former Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakar, as well as senior journalists Sohail Warraich and Hamid Mir, and has introduced major international voices to Pakistan’s media space.
More importantly, Saad has worked with state institutions when called upon, contributing to areas aligned with the national interest. He was vetted, cleared, and entrusted by the State. Today, that same individual is being subjected to coercive action by its functionaries.
This contradiction is not incidental but structural.
If individuals who have been vetted and trusted by the state can be subjected to arbitrary detention and retrospective criminalisation, then the question is unavoidable: on what basis does the state expect trust from its citizens?
The actions of certain personnel within CTD constitute a clear overreach of authority. Powers granted for public safety cannot be exercised in violation of constitutional safeguards, including the inviolability of the home and the right to due process. The law does not permit enforced taking into custody followed by procedural reconstruction.
Saad has never engaged with any proscribed material nor been involved in any unlawful activity. His life and work have remained within the bounds of law and intellectual inquiry.
I call upon civil society, the media, and responsible state authorities to take immediate cognisance of this case. Ensure due process. Examine the legality of the initial detention. Hold those responsible accountable. And ensure his safe and immediate release.
This is not just about one individual. It is about law and dignity. It is about giving hope to others who have worked for the state and Pakistan whenever called upon, who have trusted the state against all odds. This youth must be protected and safeguarded within a shrinking demographic that believe in state and that is increasingly disillusioned and disenfranchised.

JUST IN:
🇶🇦🇮🇷 Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari announced Qatar is seeking good relations with Iran:
“Iran has been here for millennia. Nobody is going anywhere.
Total annihilation is not an option.
No people or country will disappear from existence by the wish or whim of any political actor.
We will live next to each other. We will be neighbors for the future of humankind, and we have to find ways of living next to each other.
We will have to find a way past this. This is a very difficult moment, but we will find our way out of it.”
⚡️⭕️ The strongest party in this war so far is KUWAIT.
Nobody in the entire American history of warfare managed to take down 3 USAF fighter jets in a span of 5 minutes, except this Kuwaiti pilot.

To his excellency, President Ahmed Al Sharra @SyPresidency. We write to you to you today to request the immediate release of Journalist Bilal Abdul Kareem @BilalKareem who has been detained by Syrian Security Services for 17 days without charge.
In a recent speech you gave in a mosque, you instructed the people to hold you accountable so long as you obey God. Bilal was advocating for prisoner rights reform and Syrian citizenship for foreign nationals who helped depose the tyrant, Bashar AlAssad. He did not threaten the security of the state. He was upholding your request to hold you accountable, so how can he be detained for following your directive?
This is an unjust detainment and establishes a terrible precedent for the new Syria that we all have so much hope for. We call on your Arab hospitality, we call on your Islamic principles to order his immediate release and allow him to return to his family.
Thank you,
Imran Muneer
