.@Khushal_Khattak writes on anti-Taliban protests in KP: "The violence that we are experiencing in our districts will not remain limited to Pakhtunkhwa. This fire will spread to the entire country. The state should correct its course before it is too late."https://t.co/E3RcEbSTI6

I will be asking the US State Department to help with increased donations focused on helping the people directly and rebuilding the infrastructure. Pakistan is our friend and proven ally. We must increase our aid now!

The resounding message to politically active ex-military officers: If you want to break the chain of command and play politics, don't expect the state institutions you're attacking to foot the bill.

While Imran Khan may have been able to rally crowds over the issue of alleged conspiracy, Pakistan's foreign office’s work in Washington now faces an uphill task.

In this piece for @brecordernews, I discuss some of the implications of the Amb Majeed saga.

Pakistan's new cabinet, perhaps for the first time, includes two ministers who have PhDs in economics: Miftah Ismail and Aisha Ghaus Pasha. Another distinguishing feature is the inclusion of five well-educated women with a long record of public service.

The bottom line I want to emphasize here is that Pakistan lacks a coherent macro growth strategy, and one that can be followed up by a competent institutional structure.

[Atif Mian @AtifRMian]

Pakistan's economy is not in a good place - per capita income has not risen in 3 years (in fact down slightly)

Even over the last 20 years, income per capita has grown at a paltry 1.9%
