Pakistan can no… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I personally support this new school of thought being explored by Pakistani policymakers. It is in the benefit of the State of Pakistan to seriously consider slowly and carefully changing the long-standing instinct of almost all Pakistani policymakers (from all institutions) to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
All of Pakistan’s neighbours and most countries in the region have chosen their blocs and so must Pakistan. And I would seriously suggest choosing China.

The Pakistani military will start a major joint forces offensive counterterrorism campaign after Eid al-Fitr 2023. The all-out, comprehensive military operation in targeted areas of North and South Waziristan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
For residents and citizens:
Not all of the civilian population of these areas will be required to relocate, neither will all citizens they be displaced by the operation.

The #Pakistan Army held the 257th Corps Commanders’ Conference at the General Headquarters, presided over by the Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir.
The Army’s field and administrative leadership reviewed in detail threats to national security interests, at all levels.
The forum reaffirmed that the institution of the Army will always remain committed to defence of the country, according to the will and command of the citizens and to their chosen representatives, in a democratic system where the people’s will is the source of all state power.
The Forum reiterated the vital importance of the public’s support behind the troops for the success of any military action.
The Pakistani Intelligence Community has said that its unbinding assessment to the Election Commission of #Pakistan is that the security situation at this point in time, especially with regards to unconventional and insurgent threats, is not conducive for holding provincial
elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. This is a consequence of the ongoing multi-front battle the Pakistani Joint Security Forces are fighting against a number of armed terrorist groups that aim to destabilise Pakistani society through fatal violence against
Pakistani civilians, soldiers and infrastructure.
The current security outlooks, risk assessments and the latest intelligence indicates a non-coverable threat to the lives of civilian during polling activities.
It is heartbreaking to see the severe transformation of the public’s relationship with the military and the still-present downward, spiralling trend of the relations between the People, the soul of the nation-state, and the Armed Forces, the guarantor of its existential security.
The fact of the matter is that successive Pakistani leaders, of all kinds, have remained consistently unable to put duty & national interests above personal indulgences & ego.
The role of the people in aiding & abetting the election of these non-deserving dynasties is debatable.
Every day the people of this country wake up to a new wave of hopelessness and attack on our freedoms, future and right to decide our own destiny.
Every day our enemies hatch plans to further weaken our resolve and national interests.
