This is an interesting report which sheds a lot of light on the disinformation campaigns against Pakistan. I found some information on Habib Khan, who is one of the instigators of the sanction campaign. #AfghanLeaks [Thread]
There must be a reason why he hates Pakistan so much. I dug around a bit more and I found out that his parents spent years of poverty and hardship in a refugee camp in Pakistan. So much hatred for a nation which gave refuge to his family. Image
The man is obsessed with everything about Pakistan, and then claims that we have Afghan Phobia. He is so petty that he even celebrates sporting wins where Pakistan loses. ImageImageImageImage

How Afghanistan was lost to Taliban: A Story of Corruption
I read that one of the factors why the Taliban was able to takeover districts with ease is because of the massive corruption in Afg. People are so tired of it that they have turned to the Taliban for support. [Thread]
“The government is weak because it really lost the connection with the people,” says Orzala Nemat, a veteran Kabul-based Afghan analyst.
“That’s why, as much as people hate the Taliban,” she says, “they got fed up with very corrupt officials, and did not much bother about or support the government.”

Canadians are known to be nice and polite but Chris Alexander is a rare exception. I dug around and found some interesting information. [Thread]

Bollywood loves plaigarising movies and songs. I remember how they came up with three versions of "Sleeping with the enemy". They also had two terrible copies of "Macarena".
There was this movie "Gupt" where nearly all of the songs were copies. The title track was a direct copy of a track by Deep Forest.
The worst offence was when Anu Malik copied "We will rock you" by Queen for a Salman Khan movie.

I had a look at @KhurramDehwar's thread on the disinformation related to the 71 war and would like to add some more to it.
Days before Pakistan Resolution day, I noticed small networks retweeting the same content. Since the 23rd was coming up, I did not tweet about it as it would distract everyone.
The campaign kept continuing with the hashtag used in the tweets below. You will see an interesting connection here.
