Failure of Pakistan-Afghanistan Talks and the Threat of a Regional War.

Failure of Pakistan-Afghanistan Talks and the Threat of a Regional War. The failure of Pakistan-Afghanistan negotiations marks a dangerous turning point for regional peace and global security. Afghanistan’s territory continues to be used for money laundering, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and terrorism, activities that pose a grave threat not only to Pakistan but to the entire world. If the Afghan government and its leadership persist on this path, the outcome could be a new regional war — one that would drag in global powers and destabilize South and Central Asia once again. Reports suggest that Pakistan has refused to provide written consent for a joint operation against the Taliban, which has raised questions about Islamabad’s stance on counterterrorism cooperation. However, if Afghanistan continues to allow its soil to be used by anti-Pakistan elements and international terrorist networks, it will push the region toward a confrontation with far-reaching consequences. S...

Transforming Pakistan’s Political Culture; From Hostility to Harmony.

Transforming Pakistan’s Political Culture; From Hostility to Harmony. Pakistan today stands at a defining crossroads. For decades, our politics has been dominated by hostility, intolerance, and a culture of personal attacks. Political dialogue has too often been replaced with insults, violence, and blind opposition—an approach that has eroded the moral and intellectual foundation of our democracy. If Pakistan is to move forward as a progressive, stable, and respected nation, we must replace this outdated political mindset with a new culture of positive politics—a politics of responsibility, respect, and reason. The Need for Change Traditional politics in Pakistan has become synonymous with division rather than development. Political parties often prioritize personal egos over national interests, while leaders exploit public emotions instead of addressing real issues such as poverty, unemployment, education, and healthcare. This culture of “opposition for the sake of opposition...

After Imran Khan — The Need for an Ideological Third Force in Pakistan.

After Imran Khan — The Need for an Ideological Third Force in Pakistan. Pakistan’s political history has long revolved around personalities rather than principles. From Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s populism to Nawaz Sharif’s developmental politics, and later Imran Khan’s rise as a symbol of change — each era began with public hope and ended with disappointment. When Imran Khan emerged as the leader of a “third force,” the people believed a new era of justice, integrity, and reform was beginning. Yet, this vision was soon consumed by reactionary politics, institutional confrontation, and emotional populism. His inability to deliver governance, coupled with divisive rhetoric and hostility toward the Pakistan Army, turned a movement of hope into one of chaos. However, while Imran Khan’s political experiment failed, the need for a genuine third force did not disappear — it became even more essential. The Third Force — A Call for Ideological and Int...

Thailand–Cambodia Peace Accord Signed in Malaysia; A Triumph of Diplomacy and the Spirit of Global Unity

Thailand–Cambodia Peace Accord Signed in Malaysia; A Triumph of Diplomacy and the Spirit of Global Unity In a significant diplomatic development during the 47th ASEAN Summit held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 26 October 2025, the neighboring nations of Thailand and Cambodia formally signed a major peace accord — the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accord — marking a historic end to years of border tensions and military hostilities. The signing ceremony, attended by world leaders including U.S. President Donald J. Trump, symbolizes a renewed hope for lasting peace and regional stability in Southeast Asia. Background: Decades of Conflict Turned to Cooperation Thailand and Cambodia share a border that has long been a flashpoint for clashes, mainly over disputed territories near ancient temples and frontier villages. These tensions, rooted in colonial-era demarcations, have caused both military and civilian suffering for decades. In mid-2025, violence erupted once agai...

Revolution in Education — Language, Technology, and Justice.

Revolution in Education — Language, Technology, and Justice. Education is the foundation of every nation’s progress — yet, in Pakistan, it has long been trapped in confusion, inequality, and outdated methods. To move forward, Pakistan must embrace an educational revolution that integrates three essential elements: Language, Technology, and Justice. These are not just tools of reform — they are pillars of a modern, fair, and globally competitive education system. 1. Language: The Key to Understanding and Expression Language is not merely a medium of instruction — it is the bridge between thought and knowledge. Unfortunately, Pakistan’s education system is divided by language barriers that create intellectual and social inequality. On one side, English-medium institutions serve the elite; on the other, Urdu and regional-language schools struggle for recognition and resources. This divide has produced two different worlds within the same nation ...

How Refugee Networks Are Draining Pakistan’s Economy.

The Afghan Economic Web; How Refugee Networks Are Draining Pakistan’s Economy For over four decades, Pakistan has shouldered the world’s longest and most unregulated refugee crisis. What began as a humanitarian gesture in the 1980s has now transformed into a multidimensional economic, social, and security crisis — one that is silently bleeding Pakistan’s financial system and threatening its national stability. 1. The Hidden Economic Grip According to recent intelligence assessments, nearly one-fourth of Pakistan’s circulating currency — approximately ₨3 trillion — is currently held by Afghan nationals living within the country. This concentration of liquidity outside state control poses a serious risk to monetary stability. With such vast sums in hand, Afghan networks can buy dollars in bulk, manipulate the currency market, and trigger artificial depreciation of the Pakistani rupee. At the same time, they continue to smuggle U.S. dollars across th...

How U.S. Maritime Strikes Threaten International Law, Peace, and Justice.

The Dangerous Precedent of Power; How U.S. Maritime Strikes Threaten International Law, Peace, and Justice. 1. The Rising Storm in the Caribbean Recent U.S. military strikes against small vessels near Venezuelan waters have reignited global debate on the limits of state power. Under the banner of combating “narcoterrorism,” the United States has conducted multiple lethal operations in international waters—actions that have reportedly killed civilians, including fishermen and local workers. The United Nations’ human rights experts have condemned these actions as “extrajudicial executions”, asserting that they breach international law and endanger global peace. 2. The Legal and Moral Dilemma International law draws a clear line between law enforcement and warfare. By conducting maritime strikes without judicial authorization or transparent evidence, the U.S. risks eroding that distinction. The use of force in international waters—where no immediate threat exists—v...

Pakistan–Afghanistan Relations and the Threat of War — Peace Is the Only Way

Pakistan–Afghanistan Relations and the Threat of War — Peace Is the Only Way Recent border clashes and attacks have once again proven that if Pakistan–Afghanistan tensions escalate into war, the people of both nations will suffer the most. War never solves problems—it destroys peace, development, and brotherhood. In October 2025, we witnessed bloodshed, displacement, trade shutdowns, and fear. Is this the destiny of our region? Absolutely not. ✅ Why War Is NOT the Solution • No side truly wins a war—only the people lose. • Education, healthcare, jobs, and trade are destroyed. • Border communities pay the highest price. • Hatred spreads for generations. If we truly desire peace, we must use wisdom, not weapons. ✅ Message to Afghan Taliban: Stop Supporting Terrorism The Afghan Taliban must understand: • Terrorism is neither jihad nor freedom. • Real demands can be achieved through political dialogue. • Groups that attack innocent civi...

When Humanity Becomes One Nation.

When Humanity Becomes One Nation; How the World United for Truth Beyond Religion, Race, and Borders. There are moments in history when the world pauses… when hearts beat with the same rhythm… when tears fall for the same pain… and when humanity rises above every difference and stands as one soul with one voice. These moments are rare—but when they happen, they change the direction of history. Today, the world’s response to the suffering of Palestine is not just a political stance—it is the awakening of the global conscience. It is proof that humanity is evolving beyond the boundaries of religion, race, language, or nationality. The world is saying with one voice: “ Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” This moment is bigger than any government, bigger than any border. It is the birth of something powerful… A world where people, not politicians… morality, not power… truth, not propaganda… will decide the future. 🌍 Humanity Has United Before — And It Changed the World. ...

From Decades of Hospitality to Today’s Hostility.

From Decades of Hospitality to Today’s Hostility: Why Pakistan Must Reject Afghanistan’s Self-Imposed Regime and Demand a Responsible Government For over five decades, Pakistan has stood by Afghanistan in every moment of crisis. From offering refuge to millions of Afghans during war, to supporting them through poverty, displacement, and conflict, to risking our own national security by standing with them during the Soviet invasion and the American war on terror—Pakistan has consistently acted as a brother, not just a neighbor. No other nation in the world has sacrificed more for Afghanistan than Pakistan. Yet today, after decades of hospitality, we face hostility. After decades of protection, we face provocation. And after decades of loyalty, we face betrayal. Afghanistan’s current self-imposed, unelected, and unaccountable regime has turned its back on the very nation that sheltered its people and protected its survival. Instead of honoring Islamic values, neighborly obligations, and ...

How Global People Power Moved the Oldest and Most Difficult Conflict on Earth.

A Turning Point in History; How Global People Power Moved the Oldest and Most Difficult Conflict on Earth For over seven decades, the Israel–Palestine conflict stood as the world’s most complex, emotional, and unsolved crisis. Countless peace plans collapsed. Diplomatic efforts were sabotaged. Superpowers failed. Generations died waiting. Analysts called it “the conflict that cannot be solved.” And yet, today, the world stands at a historic moment: Israel and Hamas have agreed to a first-phase peace and ceasefire arrangement—a breakthrough many believed impossible. This is not just a political event. It is a moral and historical shift. And most importantly: It was achieved by the power of the people. Why This Conflict Was the Hardest to Resolve Unlike ordinary territorial disputes, this conflict carried: • 75+ years of history and trauma • Religious significance (Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa) • Forced displacement & occupation • Deep-rooted mistrust • Region...
