"Analysts" engage in cope because they ignore three key things:
1. Protesters and leaders have agency
2. The political class—all of them—have agency
3. The establishment—not just the military—have agency
The partisanship reflects the collective refusal to put #Pakistan first.
Schrondinger's Analysts:
If popular movement/long march fails, they will shout: no one can ever win against the deep state/agencies.
If it suceeds, they will say: it only succeeded coz the deep state enabled it🤪
As somebody who thought the mid-2010s Insafian protests unwise, it is still amazing how people spun that into "establishment is trying to overthrow Nawaz with Project Imran" to such an extent that ppl still believe it today
"Our Afghan colleagues felt that, in this year's text [of the draft joint statement], Afghanistan was mentioned too frequently in the context of terrorism." "Frankly speaking, this surprised us, because the very same words and expressions appeared in the text from last year—the seventh meeting. Nevertheless, the Afghan side believes that the situation regarding bilateral relations has changed since then, and that this passage is unacceptable this year," Kabulov stated.”
We have to learn a thing or two from the Taliban when it comes to safeguarding national dignity and long-term sovereign interests, even when the odds are stacked against you. Full marks
BREAKING: NEWs:
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has today, 5 October 2026, unsealed four arrest warrants in the Afghanistan situation against Taliban leaders:
• Haibatullah Akhundzada, Taliban Supreme Leader
• Abdul Hakim Haqqani, Chief Justice
• Neda Mohammad Nadim, Minister of Higher Education
• Habibullah Agha, Minister of Education
The warrants concern alleged crimes against humanity of persecution on gender grounds, including persecution linked to the rights and freedoms of Afghan women and girls.
A significant legal development in the ICC’s Afghanistan investigation.

@unpopularnibba@Thecolistin If Israel uprooted your country and destroyed it, dooming it to multiple decades of fitnah. And you decided to be buddy-buddy with them even after that.
Then it's very shameful and dishonorable. That's why no one in Pak or Afg today likes Pervez Musharraf, Ashraf Ghani, etc.
آج تحریکِ انصاف کی یہ دلیل مسلسل سننے کو ملی کہ ’’ہمیں دہشتگردی کے خلاف پالیسی بنانے نہیں دی گئی۔ اس جھوٹے دعوے پر میرے تحریک انصاف سے 8 بنیادی سوالات ہیں:
1- گزشتہ 13 سال سے خیبر پختونخوا میں آپ کی حکومت رہی، وفاق میں بھی آپ اقتدار میں رہے۔ آپ کو دہشتگردی کے خلاف پالیسی بنانے سے کس نے روکا؟؟ NAP پر عمل سے کون سے پالیسی روک رہی ہے ؟ Apex committe میٹنگز بلانے سے کونسی پالیسی روک رہی.
2- دہشتگرد کو دہشتگرد کہنا، افغانستان سے آنے والے دہشتگردوں کی مذمت کرنا، پاکستان فوج اور عوام پر حملوں کے خلاف کھل کر افواج کے ساتھ کھڑا ہونے کے لئے آپکو کس پالیسی کی ضرورت ہے؟
3- حالیہ دنوں میں افغانستان کی جانب سے کوہاٹ کے علاقے میں ڈرون حملے کیے گئے۔ آپ کی صوبائی حکومت نے ان حملوں کی کھل کر مذمت کیوں نہیں کی؟ کونسی پالیسی آپ کو روکتی رہی ؟
4- افغان سرزمین سے پاکستان کی سرحدی چوکیوں اور فوجی جوانوں پر فائرنگ ہوتی ہے، دراندازی ہوتی ہے اور دہشتگردوں کی براہِ راست یا بالواسطہ معاونت کی جاتی ہے۔ آپ نے آج تک کتنی مرتبہ افغان ریجیم کا نام لے کر ان سرحدی خلاف ورزیوں پر احتجاج یا مذمت کی؟ اس کے لیے کس ’’پالیسی‘‘ کی ضرورت ہے؟
5- آپ کے اپنے صوبے میں دہشتگردی کے لیے معاون غیرقانونی معیشت جیسا کے بھتہ خوری، اسمگلنگ اور نان کسٹم پیڈ گاڑیوں کے کاروبار کو ختم کرنے کے لیے گزشتہ 13 سال میں آپ نے کون سے عملی اقدامات کیے اور اگر کیے تو وہ بتائیں ؟
6- دہشت گردی کے خلاف برسر پیکار سیکورٹی فورسز روزانہ کی بنیادوں پر اپنی قربانیاں دے رہی ہیں تم نے ان فورسز سے کتنی دفعہ انکی پوسٹوں پر جا کر ان سے اظہار یکجہتی کیا؟اور تو اور خیبر پختونخوا کے عوام جو خود بھی دہشت گردی کا نشانہ بنتے ہیں تم نے کتنی دفعہ جا کر ان یتیموں کے سر پر دست شفقت رکھا؟
7- دہشت گردی کے خلاف ریاست پاکستان کے بیانیے کو تم مختلف ہتھکنڈوں اور طریقوں سے کنفیوز کیوں کرتے ہو۔ تم خوارج کو خوارج کیوں نہیں کہتے اور ان خوارج کا نام لے کر انکی مذمت کیوں نہیں کرتے؟ اسکے۔ لئے کونسی پالیسی۔ چاہیے ؟
8- ان تمام باتوں سے صرف ایک اندازہ لگایا جاسکتا ھے کہ 13 سال کی حکمرانی میں ۔
۱- آپ نےکرپشن نے کو بے پناہ فروغ دیا صوبے کے وسائل کو دونوں ھاتھوں سے لوٹا۔ سوشل میڈیا پہ آپکے قومی و صوبائی ممبران ایک دوسرے پہ کھل کر کروڑوں اربوں لوٹنے کے الزام لگاتے ھیں ۔ ایک خاتون MNA کھل کر میڈیا پہ بیرون ملک سے آنے والے کروڑوں پارٹی تنظیم پہ خربرد کرنے کا الزام لگاتی ھیں ۔

Yes you got me, I hate Musharraf because he's a pan eating Muhajir not because he destroyed Pakistan's leverage against India by dismantling proxies in IOK, and was playing golf while TTP was taking over KPK and our parks, mosques, markets all became unsafe.
Those who claim Pakistan has only invested in CPEC clearly know nothing about Pakistan’s broader trade and investment strategy, so they should stop yapping on the internet 24/7.
Afghans have been hyping up that rough road since this morning, apparently to confuse gullible grifters like you.
What has opened is a road on the Afghan side leading toward the Chinese border, not an operational Afghanistan–China trade route, because China has not agreed to open the border for trade.
China already has access to Central Asia. Open a map and explain how this suddenly gives China access to Europe. And does Afghanistan have a seaport now as well?
@MarioNawfal They later blamed each other after Imran Khan was ousted as Prime Minister when it clearly backfired and attacks went back up.

@MarioNawfal I always appreciate your independent coverage and work in this arena.
However, I think you should also be aware: the resettlement of TTP fighters was a coordinated plan by both Imran Khan, and Gen. Bajwa, when Khan was still the PM from 2021-22.
It was PTI's idea.
🚨🇵🇰 One of Imran Khan's fmr. ministers is making EXPLOSIVE allegations about Pakistan’s military...
He claims military leaders backed a plan to bring Pakistani Taliban fighters back from Afghanistan after Khan was removed from power in 2022.
According to him, local protests later forced some of those militants back across the Afghan border, before authorities allowed them to return through other areas.
Now, as thousands of Imran Khan supporters march toward Islamabad, he says the fight is no longer just about freeing the jailed former PM.
It’s becoming a much bigger confrontation over terrorism, military power, and who ultimately controls Pakistan’s security policy.

@DocPriyamMD Hyponatremia.
She drank water but didn't replenish electrolytes lost during sweating. Her blood and extracellular fluid became hypotonic and therefore flooded the relatively concentrated brain cells, causing them to swell.
Drinking water made it worse and caused the seizure.
Can you blame him? His ISI chief reportedly tried to persuade the Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden, but they refused, while America said, "with us or against us." Musharraf tried diplomacy, but realistically he couldn't risk Pakistan over the Taliban's suicidal brinkmanship.
While I myself lean secular/liberal, but the reality is in Pakistani history it has been conservatives like General Zia who delivered results.
Whilst liberals like General Musharraf failed and blundered.
Our country, heck I would argue our region doesn't work with liberalism.
Pak liberals crying over a few bearded men being promoted to Lt. General may feel more at home in I*srael, India, or any other country where the state-sanctioned Islamophobia they seek is already institutionalized. I will deport them under my dictatorship.
Religious Pakistanis are rising through the ranks again. A good sign. And if it's with adherence to military discipline, all the better.

Such framing and racial stereotypes previously consumed Balochistan and FATA, and now they will the rest of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. On the ground, it has almost no impact on locals, instead, they fuel an even stronger backlash
