#Pakistan Instability Update | A country mired in economic uncertainty & bereft of political direction has just added to its woes today. This happens just as the world steps up to signal it won't let the state collapse economically under a climate disaster and bad governance. /1
Local parliament of #Pakistan's most consequential province (in terms of federal seats) has been dissolved. Hardly a win for democracy. It marks a success for one man's destructive 9-month campaign to return to power by any means possible, or else destabilize the country. /2
Ousted ex-PM #ImranKhan succeeds in forcing the dissolution of the local parliament of #Punjab Province, in hopes of paving the way for his return to power. But citizens of #Pakistan are net losers in a country unable to focus on rebuilding economy and international relations. /3
At deeper look, #ImranKhan's 'success' is not impressive. How much genius does it take to throw a wrench in the works in a #Pakistan system already clogged by political & eco failures? None. That's what Khan did. He and his #PTI have no solutions. He is part of the problem. /4
