Losing The War’s Beginning

Losing The War’s Beginning

The ninth year of the US war in Afghanistan began with an apology. But this was an apology to Pakistan, not Afghanistan where US and its allies have killed thousands of civilians. Mainstream US news outlets, like New York Times and Washington Post, strangely failed to mark the advent of the 9th year.

Pakistan Losing Its Pashtuns Because Of Someone Else’s War

Pakistan Losing Its Pashtuns Because Of Someone Else’s War

Why half a million Mehsuds were turned into refugees in their own country? Why the Wazirs were stopped from selling their fruits in the markets of their own country? Do we need to keep on killing and destroying our own people in the pursuit of this unending and unwinnable war?

How Pakistan Is Quietly, And Impressively, Rebuilding Afghanistan

How Pakistan Is Quietly, And Impressively, Rebuilding Afghanistan

Have you heard about Allama Iqbal Faculty at Kabul University? Sir Syed Science Faculty Block at Nangarhar University? Liaqat Ali Khan Engineering Faculty at Balkh University? Rehman Baba High School in Kabul? And the sprawling ten-tower Jinnah Hospital Complex in Kabul and the Nishtar Kidney Hospital in Jalalabad? Disinformation is part of the foreign occupation in Afghanistan, and hiding Pakistan’s contributions to Afghanistan are part of it. But for over three decades, Pakistan has directly and indirectly spent billions of dollars on three million Afghan refugees and provide them jobs, housing, healthcare and education. Today, the most productive workforce in Afghanistan is Pakistan-trained.

Forget AfPak, Resolve AfKash To Win In Afghanistan

Forget AfPak, Resolve AfKash To Win In Afghanistan

Forget AfPak. It’s more about AfKash, Afghanistan and Kashmir. That is the key if President Obama wants to turn Afghanistan into a victory. Pakistan cannot press a button to stop the Pashtun tribes of Afghanistan from resisting America-Karzai-warlords who sidelined them and kept them out of power in Kabul. The anti-India actions in Kashmir are also not a Pakistani creation. They will continue, fester and invite reaction from Kashmiris and Pakistanis on Pakistani soil unless resolved. Desperate US policymakers shouldn’t listen to smugly Indians who claim they know the region better than anyone else and have come up with this bogus anti-Pashtun policy in Afghanistan. They misled the Soviets in the 1970s and now they are misleading the Americans.
