@minoqtopus Did you also enjoy iftar with these super cool officers ☺️

During the entirety of the soviet occupation, almost a million afghans were killed. The afghan resistance was waging a war against the occupying army and the arabs risked their lives to help them defeat the soviets. It's news to me by the way that you consider afghanistan your home.

Abdullah Azzam who brought most Arab fighters to fight in Afghanistan including bin laden gave a fitting retort to the soviet puppet najeeb. He himself was a Palestinian fighter but he had to leave Palestine after the bordering states of Jordan and Egypt stopped allowing Palestinian fighters to use their borders to enter Israel and inflict damage. That's why Abdullah Azzam fought against the soviets in Afghanistan and gathered Arab fighters. He states that his goal was to defeat the soviets and establish an islamic state inside Afghanistan which would be used as a base or 'Qaeda' to assemble an army and to eventually wage jihad against the Israelis and liberate Jerusalem.

One of the most interesting speeches I’ve come across: Afghanistan’s late president, Najibullah asked in the 80s why so many foreign Arab fighters traveled to Afghanistan for jihad when Palestine was right next door.

When the american used double tap strikes inside the pakistani tribal areas, the pakistani intelligence used to be infuriated as scores of civilians were killed. Now they've resorted to the same killing of civilians. It seems that we have taken a leaf out of the Israeli-Indian playbook. Suffer an attack and then target the civilian population of a country as retribution. It's a mystery that why do we lack on ground intelligence in afghanistan, a place where our intel appartaus has been running for almost 50 years so that we may use that intelligence to target actual militants rather than hospitals and condcuting double tap strikes.

Three eyewitnesses told us that Pakistan used a double tap (a first strike, then a second 10 minutes apart as rescuers and residents rushed to the scene) on a building it targeted in Paktia province last night. More than 30 people died (36 per Afghanistan, 32 per Pakistan) and

While turkiye was battling Kurd insurgents, turkish historian Ayse Hur stated that according to her the PKK (kurd militia fighting the state) weren't terrorists. She was immediately sentenced to a few years in prison for supporting terrorists. Meanwhile, in the wanna be hard state of Pakistan, you can categorise BLA insurgents who kill civilians as freedom fighters and still teach in one of the most prestigious universities of Pakistan.

@WVanwagenen Still waiting for the murderous, hypocritical Iranians to do something worthwhile for Gaza rather than massacring Sunnis in Iraq and Syria

@worqas Talk about Sour fucking grapes.. Stick to PTI and Imran khan. Don't talk about things you don't know shit about. Militancy is one of that.

Waqas, not that you would ever have a seat in a gathering of militants but if you ever do, it's my brotherly advice to never repeat this preposterous claim that Taliban don't harbour TTP or JUA. Talibs will laugh at your face. The Taliban are using 'plausible deniability' to their benefit right now. They provide safe haven, training and use various cross border militant outfits to wage a proxy warfare inside of Pakistan. There's dozens of published proof about that but it's amateurs who quote UN reports and other proof that has been published about Afghanistan being a safe haven for militant outfits. Actual investigative journos source their information from on ground informants and for anybody on the ground it's a very clear cut fact who the Taliban have put their money on and who the ISI is supporting as a counter. People who're cosy with the Taliban as well as the Pakistani state know very well how the ttp is being used as leverage by the Taliban. Infact, the Taliban gloat about it in meetings with people they know or on calls with people this side of the border. This seems like a case of engagement farming by hoping on the bandwagon to comment on a matter you've very less knowledge off.

I disagree. He's completely correct when he mentions cross border action as a means of keeping the public demanding action content. You are confusing two different kinds of social media pressures. One is for the release of a political prisoner engaging in combat with the current strongman whereas the other is demanding a response to attack inside of our country. Plus tipu Sahab appears to be addressing this in a rather satirical manner, suggesting that Pakistan's strategy is so vague that it seems that an attack happens, social media trolls demand action, and then cross border action is done which reaps no results.

@IhsanTipu while talking to Al Jazeera stated that rather than developing a coherent strategy on the Afghanistan front, decision makers in Pakistan appear to succumb to social media pressure and they launch futile airstrikes in Afghanistan just for the sake of public consumption.

Interesting point mentioned how job involving cultivation of human relationships are irreplaceable by AI. You mentioned sales and healthcare etc but I think journalism is also one such job. Cultivation of good sources that give you credible inside news is a direct outcome of establishing a human relationship with the source and is irreplaceable by AI. Let me give a personal example. If one's subject is to report on militancy and non state actors, one has to penetrate their ranks, buy their trust and cultivate a relationship so that they'd tell give them information on which bases they can craft reports or documentaries. AI can be used to craft a product out of that information but the sourcing of first hand information will always depend on a human's ability to cultivate a relationship.

The last major 'fidayee' attack claimed by the Pakistani Taliban/TTP was in 2009 when a Shia procession was targeted on ashura, resulting in 40 deaths. Apparently, this is Jamaat ul Ahrar's first suicide attack in Karachi which signifies their presence in the city.

TTP denies involvement in attack on a Karachi Rangers base, but Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a faction of Pakistani Taliban, claims responsibility. It says 4 suicide attackers are involved in the attack. This is Karachi’s 2nd major attack by Pakistani Taliban since Feb 2023 police HQ attack.

Attack on rangers HQ in Karachi has been claimed by 'Jamaat ul ahrar.' Jamaat ul ahrar is a break away faction of the TTP which was formed in 2014 by commander Omar Khalid khorasani. They had a temporary alliance with daesh but in 2020, they merged back again with TTP. Conflict arose in 2023 and fighting is ongoing since. The recent example of a conflict between TTP and Jamaat UL ahrar was in kurram district when JUA claimed that TTP killed their fighters including 'Mumtaz Ommati.

Suicide attack in Karachi where initial reports suggest rangers HQ has been targeted. In recent years, Baloch separatists have conducted suicide attacks in Karachi. But this attack seems like classic TTP. If claimed by them, it would be after a decade that they have conducted a suicide operation inside Karachi.

Mohsin naqvi needs a reminder that Islamabad isn't Tehran. What the fuck is this nonsense. An entire sector where hundreds of thousands of people reside has been cut off from the world for 24 hours. Sectarian Terror attacks are a problem without a doubt. But such foolish measures will only result in creating communal hatred between people.

I was today years old to learn that turkiye banned YouTube from 2008 to 2010 because someone had published videos deemed 'blasphemous' about Kemal Atatürk. Meanwhile, Pakistan banned it for hosting content that contained blasphemy of actual sacred figures, not of a drunkard womanising dictator.

Now I know why Pakistan has been covertly providing them a helping hand. Hint: Jihad of liberation of Ukraine from the godless soviets.

Ukraine is providing technical training to upgrade Pakistan's existing drone force. This collaboration leverages Ukraine's battlefield-tested expertise in FPV warfare. The goal is to expand Pakistan's domestic long-range and tactical UAV capabilities.

@SyedShah2000k I still unfortunately see you polluting my follower list.

Pakistani DG ISPR (military spokesman) claims that the Taliban are inviting Osama bin Laden's son: 'Hamza bin Laden' to Afghanistan. But isn't Hamza bin laden dead? The Americans officially claim that they have killed Hamza bin laden. Saying otherwise is like claiming OBL is still alive. It's either that DG ISPR makes this claim based on twitter news or the other sinister possibility is that he has on ground information which proves Hamza is alive and through this interview, he wishes to reveal this to the world.
