National Security or Political Drama? Yet Another APC Fails to Deliver Once Again

Opinion /

The latest All-Party Conference (APC) has once again exposed Pakistan’s greatest weakness: a divided political class unable to rise above self-interest. While terrorism and insecurity continue to cripple Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, our leaders seem more concerned with political point-scoring than genuine solutions. Political parties across the board admitted that today’s violent instability is the […]

The State Must Stand Firm; Bajaur is a Test of Pakistan’s Resolve

Opinion /

The recent targeted operation in Bajaur is not just another security sweep, it is a litmus test for Pakistan’s seriousness in eliminating terrorism, securing its borders, and restoring civilian control in regions long vulnerable to militant influence.

Jirgas, Denial, and the Dangerous Drift in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Opinion /

The state’s reliance on jirgas in the face of terrorism is a glaring admission of institutional failure. In 2025, as violence surges across the merged tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, we find ourselves recycling the very tactics that led to previous disasters. The jirga system, once a tool of local dispute resolution, has now become
