Karzai and Taliban Nexus Targetting Pakistan
In the corridors of European parliaments and the echo chambers of social media, a well-worn script is being recited once again: Pakistan is to blame for whatever goes wrong in Afghanistan. The voice pushing this line does not belong to a Taliban spokesperson, though the regime approves every word. It belongs to Hamid Karzai, former […]
Al-Qaeda-BLA nexus, TTP fueling terrorism in Balochistan
The banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) maintains a nexus with Al-Qaeda and Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which continues to fuel terrorism, sabotage, and societal destabilization across Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan.

In the summer turmoil of June, as Israeli warplanes battered Iran’s nuclear sites, Pakistan did something unexpected for the international community. While other nations hedged or stayed quiet, Islamabad’s voice rang loud in condemning what it called unprovoked aggression, leading to public praise by Iran’s military chief. Not long after, Pakistan found itself engulfed by […]
Confronting Afghan Nexus
For many years, Pakistan’s policy toward Kabul was defined by restraint and endless patience. That phase has ended. In a media briefing held on Monday, the military’s spokesman bluntly declared that Islamabad will no longer treat Afghan “conditions” as any kind of diktat. “Our own armed forces guarantee our security,” he stressed, marking a sharp […]
