I have made a detailed thread on this tweet which gives the #Kashmir perspective of this visit . We do not want @BBhuttoZardari to become compromised as his late grandfather had already compromised on #Kashmir in 1971 & was instrumental to #Sheikh compromise with #India in 1975 .
The kashmir perspective I have when I visited #Pakistan recently in an interview with @Dawn_News
I also gave the kashmir perspective in different interviews which I have uploaded on my YouTube mubeenshah1942 .

A 🧵about the history and present-day operations of the Jewish National Fund (@KKL_JNF @JNFUSA) which is right now trying to ethnically cleanse Palestinian Bedouin communities from their homes & agricultural lands in the Negev/Naqab (Southern Israel). Protests are ongoing.

The JNF was founded in 1901 via a motion by Theodore Herzl at the Fith Zionist Congress to establish a fund to purchase land in historic Palestine — then under Ottoman empire rule — so as to remove the indigenous Palestinian population and create a Jewish state

.@jjz1600, in his book Invisible Victims, describes the blatant exclusivity that the JNF was founded on. Charter declares: “all land taken in the name of the JNF shall be… held as the inalienable property of the Jewish people.” Only Jewish labor was to be used on the land.

THREAD on Friday's parliamentary crisis in #Mogadishu and broadly #Somalia's existing #electoral turmoil. I discuss what happened, and towards the end, I offer a possible electoral solution for a way forward. 1/17
At stake are two issues: did #Speaker #Mursal and opposition MPs follow the parliamentarian procedures, and does the speaker have the authority, under the parliament's rules & regulations, to suspend the 15 opposition MPs for 5 seating? Second, where do we go from here? 2/17
The speaker cited Art. 16 (1,2); Art. 18 (a, b); Art. 19 - 1 (b, c, d, e, f, g) & Art. 28-5 (n). Most of the above articles deal with the speaker's powers, the deputies, and governs' behaviors/conduct of legislators when parliament is in session. 3/17

#Nehru died this day 56yrs ago
A week earlier he'd sent #SheikhAbdullah to Karachi to meet/negotiate with the #Pakistani military dictator #AyubKhan
Sheikh rushed back upon Nehru's death
The three men ever shared what was cooking
Such hush-hush freelancing continues over #Kashmir
#Nehru indeed is the original sinner in our headache over #Kashmir
But the mindset to deal with this headache, across govts parties and leaders has remained Nehruvian:
Integration through soft separatism
A secular facade to reward bigotry
Hand over democracy to rank autocrats
#Nehru the interim PM did not defend J&K against the #Pakistani attack till the #Maharaja appointed #Sheikh
He let Sheikh rob the elections to stuff his own men in the Constituent Assembly of J&K
All others' nominations were cancelled to 'elect' unopposed 73 NC members out of 75.

Due to their vulnerability to various natural calamities, tribal conflicts and other factors. Later #Sheikh #Abadir #Umar ar-Rida Al Harari united this villages and build up under one city and named after the people 'Harar Gey'.
This was in an effort to unite local constantly conflicting Harari tribes into a single umbrella identity, the “Harari #Muslim”. #Gēy means City in Harari, "Harar Gēy" Harar city
