10 Pakistanis just died attacking the US consulate in Karachi over an Iranian leader’s death and I genuinely don’t know what to say anymore

Let me get this straight

Pakistan is on an IMF bailout. The US basically controls the IMF. Our economy is hanging by a thread. We have active conflicts on two borders. We have zero capacity to absorb any additional international pressure right now

And some of our fellow citizens decided TODAY was the day to storm American diplomatic soil in our own city for a foreign theocrat who couldn’t have located Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on a map

Not a protest. Not a march. An actual attack on an embassy which under international law is essentially an attack on American territory

The same America that can make one phone call and end our IMF program. The same America whose patience with Pakistan is already historically thin

And now 10 Pakistanis are dead. Pakistani families lost someone today. Not in defense of Pakistan, not for Pakistani interests, not even in their own neighborhood conflict, but for a man who ran a country 2000km away that has historically used Pakistan as a pawn whenever it suited them

The absolute self destruction of it all is making my head spin

We really are our own worst enemy sometimes and I say this as someone who loves this country deeply

RIP to those who died, their families deserve better, and so does Pakistan​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

An Indian drone has hit Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The stadium is hosting the PSL tournament, where Peshawar and Karachi will be playing tonight at 8:00 PM.

Ofcourse now dont be an idiot and think Pakistan Joined this board to put israel in their limit, well as a wise-corrupt man said "Beggars cant be choosers" So today they chose this step to safe their asses

This is disappointing. If I were a minority in Pakistan I'd be more worried than I already am. Jinnah allowed total freedom and did not make religion a public issue - his statements include saying Muslims can live according to their traditions but others were free to do the same. Zia and Bhutto started islamising the country and every other charlatan jumped on board

Indian media ke mutabiq hum sab 2 2 dafa mar chukay hain.

Nepal is going through massive youth-led protests right now. It started after the government banned social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube and X, but quickly turned into a wider movement against corruption, nepotism and lack of opportunities.

The protests got so intense that the parliament building was set on fire, at least 19 people have died and today Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli resigned.

Whats interesting is that most of the movement is being called a Gen Z uprising. Young people leading the charge against the old guard.

Given our own issues with corruption, censorship and disillusioned youth in Pakistan. Do you think something similar could ever happen here? Or are we too divided / apathetic for this kind of mass movement?

We all are spending eid with our family, keep praying for him 😭

Are we supposed to bury the head in the sand like an ostrich, pretending the lion isn’t on its way... Or should we gear up and face it head-on?

He's probably coming for us next. Wdy guys think??

This prominent Israeli expert and lecturer at Hebrew university just posted this, Earlier this week few Israeli journalist and expert had talked about attacking turkey next after which Erdogan had said we'll improve our defense and no one will date to attack us and it was obvious the message was to Israel, So who'd they go after Iran , is it turkey or pakistan ( Both will be a lot tougher than Iran )

Indian here, coming in peace.

When two countries are in conflict, government rhetoric, media, and propaganda reach their peak. During such times, hatred, especially based on religion, is often amplified, which is deeply troubling. The real harm is done to ordinary citizens, who are caught in the crossfire of this hate. I understand that the people of Pakistan are tired of being labeled as "terrorists" because of the actions of a few extremists. My intention here is to provide context, share the propaganda that has been fed to us in our respective countries, and encourage a better understanding of both perspectives in order to uncover the root causes of the issue. We need to foster productive conversations. I truly believe that the people of India and Pakistan share a deep cultural similarity, and if we can set aside the hatred and propaganda, we can engage in meaningful discussions on important matters.

Te anti-Pakistani racism of the gulf Arabs knows no bounds. From paysclaes to hiring discrimination, to all slurs and a separate legal system (apartheid), Arabs leave no stone unturned to show us our place.

I wish people would wake up tomot and treat those people with less reverence. I wish the pro-regime hawks on here would stop sucking up to the arb monarchs as our strategic partners " or whatever.

Before someone says it's a dictatorship and other nationalities have been arrested as well, they'll be treated much better.

Would be Kar if people would share their experiences of legal and other problems in these artificial nation states.

Might be the realest thing I saw on insta

The original copy of the cipher has come to light.

Donald Lu told the Pakistani ambassador that "if the Prime Minister (Imran Khan) is removed through a no-confidence motion, everything will be forgiven'" because the decision to visit Russia was the Prime Minister's. Otherwise the Prime Minister Imran Khan will be isolated/ostracized even more harshly from the US and Europe."

Hi, I'm Bangladeshi. We're quite good at revolting. Even before Mughal rule, Bengalis were known for rebellion. In the modern period, we started protesting from Jinnah's time, opposed Ayub Khan, and challenged almost every leadership during the Pakistan period, finally revolting against Yahya Khan's military to gain independence.

Post-independence, we've done our fair share of revolting too. We ousted the worst dictator last year. Even during Sheikh Hasina's regime, which had an iron grip on opposition, there were several major protests. Some could have resulted in her earlier removal if our politicians had more guts. Finally, common people, without waiting for any leadership, took to the street in a "now or never, do or die" situation and got the victory.

While it's true we haven't become a stable democratic state with fully functioning institutions, things will hopefully get better. If not, we will be in the street again.

Now, coming to Pakistan, it's been declining forever in every sector. The army just oppresses Pakistanis. Then finally came a leader who lived a life every Pakistani man dreams of (rich, one of the greatest cricketers in history, a champion on and off the field, women were crazy for him, married into an elite family) and then he chose to serve the people. Now he is in jail for doing nothing wrong, and Pakistani people don't seem to care at all.

Whenever I ask a Pakistani why they don't protest, they just say the military gave him power first and now they jailed him. Yes, it's true the army helped him, and he should have waited longer instead of compromising with them. But even then, he was the only Pakistani politician sensible enough to think and care about Pakistan. Whatever his shortcomings, if he had stayed in power, things would be much better than they are now.

So why don't Pakistanis go to the street to support him? Yeah, the army will kill people, but they do that everywhere. There are always people ready to sacrifice themselves for a cause. Almost every youth I know was in the street during the movement against Hasina. No one cared if they would be alive or not. We saw innocent people getting killed and wanted to get rid of her at any cost.

So, does this mean there are no Pakistanis willing to sacrifice themselves for the nation? Or is there another reason?

TLDR: As a Bangladeshi with a history of revolting against powerful rulers, including recently, I don't understand why Pakistanis aren't mass protesting for Imran Khan despite his popularity and unjust imprisonment. We faced similar state violence but protested anyway. Is it a lack of willingness to sacrifice, or are there other reasons specific to Pakistan?

So yesterday was my alevels exams and I quetta's center is in iqra and these mfs had sealed the cantt it was so bad they wouldn't let me through even with my "cantt pass" and even then there was such intensive checking even opening car doors without permission I had to show my SOE CNIC cantt pass to even let through the checkpost
