This was sold by the Pakistan Army to China a long time ago, and they have already spent the money on luxury villas in London or Dubai. Now, neither the Chinese nor the Pakistan Army can access it, because its actual owners the people of Baluchistan would never allow such an illegal transaction.

@realZalmayMK @Sammydurrani It is one of your biggest achievements to erase women from every aspect of life and imprison them. This is what you negotiated for months with the Taliban in luxury hotels in Qatar!!!

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

I think you Pashtuns never learn from history, especially the past five decades of conflict. Punjabi elites in Pakistan don’t give a fuck about Pashtuns and Balochs; they want to have you both as second-class servants that are only useful for proxy wars, drug trafficking, and other recreational works. This tragedy is also applied to the Pashtuns in Afghanistan, and the rest of the people are suffering from Pashtun stupidity.

Your Excellency,
It is a great pleasure to witness visionary women leaders like yourself actively shaping multiple sectors of society and contributing meaningfully to human development and progress.
While women in many parts of the world continue to face oppression often under the pretext of tradition or misinterpreted cultural and religious norms that limit access to education and empowerment leaders such as you play a vital role in driving meaningful change. Your dedicated efforts to foster a safer and more inclusive digital environment are especially commendable, as they carry immense potential to accelerate economic growth and advance progress across all sectors of life.
Stay strong!

In the grand scheme of things, as the war with #Iran is resolved, another war is coming to the Persian Gulf region. #Pakistan will eventually pay for its betrayals of Russia, its betrayal of the U.S and NATO, and the tremendous pain and suffering it has inflicted on the people of #Afghanistan and India through decades of proxy wars. The time has now come for all these forces to unite in helping the Baloch people claim their independence and challenge Pakistan’s corrupt military dictatorship.
I hope that before these events unfold, we are able to reconcile the Taliban with a democratic framework and keep this war outside Afghanistan’s borders.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

We believe our shared history, deep cultural ties, and common future provide compelling grounds for both nations to fundamentally reorient our relationship. It is time to move beyond policies rooted in proxy engagements and interference toward a mature, state-to-state partnership grounded in mutual respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interference in internal affairs.
Such a framework should enable us to celebrate the rich diversity of our societies rather than allow narrow ethnic nationalism to define our relations. Pashtun nationalism, pursued as a transnational project, has functioned as a divisive force that has inflicted immense suffering, shattered millions of lives, and undermined stability on both sides of the border. We must jointly recognize it as a misguided and destructive ideology that serves neither the Afghan nor the Pakistani people.
In this spirit, we urge Pakistan to permanently dismantle the network of military-linked madrasas that have systematically produced extremism and continue to threaten the long-term security and prosperity of both countries. Concurrently, we call for sincere efforts to fully integrate Pakistani Pashtuns into mainstream national life, just as we commit to fostering inclusive national identity and cohesion within Afghanistan.
Past policies have regrettably weakened fragile democratic institutions and disrupted the delicate ethnic balance in Afghanistan. We invite Pakistan to partner with us in restoring this diversity, rebuilding democratic governance, and promoting a moderate, inclusive practice of Islam foundations upon which both nations can achieve stability, development, and progress.
The Taliban regime, by its very nature, brings only death, destruction, and perpetual darkness to the region. It represents a common threat that cannot be managed through accommodation but must be addressed through unified resolve. By choosing cooperation over confrontation, respect over interference, and shared prosperity over division, Afghanistan and Pakistan can finally open a new chapter of good-neighborly relations that benefits our peoples for generations to come.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ @ForeignOfficePk

It is important that the State Department inform and provide accurate information to the President: the U.S. won the war in Afghanistan and other areas in Central Asia because it had reliable partners. When U.S. priorities shifted and those partners were neglected, that is when America began to lose a shift that has significantly damaged the U.S. global image. Therefore, it is never too late to re-engage with partners and consolidate those hard-won victories.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

It’s good news that Pakistan is slowly changing its policy regarding Afghanistan. In this post, you have introduced two so-called journalists who have worked for Pakistan’s intelligence agencies for decades, and now you have decided to expose them. That’s still good news. All such people should be exposed, and Pashtun nationalism must end so that the two nations can live in peace and prosperity.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

It’s hard for you to believe and understand because you’re probably living in some peaceful part of Pakistan and employed by a government agency. But deep down you know that the Punjabi elites who actually control Pakistan have the attitude of using Pakistani Pashtuns as toilet paper and then throwing them away. That was, and still is, their policy.
Unless this changes and those elites decide to shut down the weaponized military madrasa program, bring Pashtuns into mainstream society, and treat them as equal citizens, the current wave of violence will continue and intensify and nobody will care.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

In other words, the Taliban project funded and nurtured by the Pakistani army to topple Afghanistan’s fragile democracy on behalf of Iran, China, and Russia has now backfired spectacularly. It’s turning on its creators and having fun with them. It’s like people warning about AI robots in the near future refusing to take orders from their makers and deciding to fuck their creators first.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

I believe the majority of Afghans have a fundamentally wrong understanding of Ashraf Ghani. Many perceive him as a hardliner or authoritarian dictator, but in reality, he had the personality of a tough university lecturer strict in principle, yet quite soft and gentle in day to day interactions. Although he did not genuinely win the election, international stakeholders gave him the mandate to govern.
The people around him quickly assessed his character and psychological traits, then exploited them to the fullest for their personal agendas. They skillfully projected an image to the outside world that Ghani was firmly in control, while in practice they created an atmosphere of fear, mistrust, and intrigue that effectively hijacked his presidency.
This clearly shows that he was not prepared for the role of president. His decisions such as deepening ethnic divisions, fostering mistrust within the security forces, and failing to secure a strong position in the U.S./Taliban negotiations were major contributing factors in the government’s collapse.
Worse still, real decision-making power rested with a small group of naive, hot-blooded young advisors who were more interested in personal enrichment and looting than in actual governance. They kept the president in the dark on critical matters, ultimately placing not only the Pashtuns but the entire country at the mercy of external forces, especially the Pakistani military establishment. The result is a national catastrophe that continues to make all of Afghanistan suffer. The rest is history.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

The only problem is that Pakistan not only created them but also, at the direction of Iran, Russia, and China, fully backed them against US/NATO forces in Afghanistan. Today, this strategy has backfired because they now work for the highest bidders.
If you really want to get rid of extremism, close all military madrassa programs, implement a serious Pashtun deradicalization process, and support democratic forces in Afghanistan.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

Excellency,
The game is only just beginning. Unfortunately, Pakistan’s civilian and military elites have failed for decades to resolve the country’s border issues with both India and Afghanistan. Instead, they repeatedly resorted to violence and proxy strategies. In the process, a small segment of the elite became extraordinarily wealthy while the remaining 300 million Pakistanis have suffered repeated setbacks and severe economic devastation a crisis that is likely to boil over sooner rather than later.
Millions of Pashtuns were funneled into military-madrasa programs that bred various strains of extremism, including the TTA and TTP. While the rest of the region steadily moved toward development and prosperity, Pakistan remained fixated on waging proxy wars against its neighbours. India, without firing a single bullet in the conventional sense, effectively secured Kashmir. Through Operation Sindoor, it has now established strong deterrence. The extremism Pakistan once nurtured has backfired spectacularly: militant groups are now killing thousands of Pakistanis on Pakistani soil.
In the aftermath of the Iran war, the Middle East is likely to distance itself economically from Pakistan. China, meanwhile, will quietly seek and develop alternative routes, reducing the strategic importance of CPEC.
A major reset is urgently needed. Without it, the very extremism cultivated over decades will be more than enough to further destabilise, disarm, and divide the country.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

The Pakistan Army needs to begin the deradicalization process for the Pashtun population. Otherwise, these brainwashed individuals will keep finding ways to kill themselves and thousands of innocents along with them. They were fed distorted interpretations of religion specifically to wage war in Afghanistan and against India. Now that India has established strong deterrence and Afghanistan is under their complete control, the only place left for them to wage war is Pakistan. It is never too late to correct a mistake.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

Religion was militarized and weaponized by the Pakistan Army, and for decades Pashtun society has been a major incubator of extremism. Given the large Pashtun population in Pakistan, a serious, sustained deradicalization program is essential. If left unchecked, this could destabilize not only Pakistan but the entire region.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

Pashtun deradicalization is in progress by the Pakistan Army. Although this decision should have been taken decades ago, it is never too late to correct a mistake that has taken almost three generations and destabilized the entire region. The Pashtun deradicalization process must also be implemented in Afghanistan.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

One thing the United States needs to understand is that Pakistan is unlikely to become a fully reliable long-term strategic partner unless it receives concessions comparable to those China has secured such as major port access and expanded land-based connectivity. Without such arrangements, China will remain Pakistan’s primary strategic ally, and Pakistan’s current mediation efforts are likely to be more aligned with Chinese interests than with those of the United States.

At the same time, proposals involving Israeli energy pipelines running across Saudi territory, passing through parts of Gaza, and supplying international markets in a way that would reduce the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf are unlikely to be achievable in the long term.

A more effective policy approach, from this perspective, would be to support the emergence of an independent Baluchistan, restore democratic governance in Afghanistan, and enable energy corridors for oil and gas to flow through Afghanistan and Baluchistan to global markets. In this broader geopolitical “chess game,” such a strategy could potentially strengthen the United States’ position relative to both Russia and China.

[MSMassoud @MSMMassoud]

It was defensible until it became a scam! It is used by Pashtun elites to plunder the national treasure for personal and tribal benefits. It is used as a weapon against other ethnic groups in Afghanistan in wars, in elections, and in the distribution of wealth, resources, and education. After 80 years, the cause has finally lost its value and has now become a liability. It’s a giant scam.

@GitaGopinath You look absolutely stunning! even prettier, in fact. You should have been crowned Miss India!
