The #Afghan #Taliban's savage dictatorship, which #Pakistan applauded when it seized control of the country, is dedicated to ruining the lives of #AfghanWomen. 1/n @NilofarAyoubi

2/ The same generals who wrapped themselves in the flag every morning and sold “anti-American nationalism” to ordinary Pakistanis every night were apparently taking billions of dollars from Washington in exchange for obedience & military cooperation.@WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

1/ So this was the great “sovereignty” #PakArmy kept screaming about for decades? According to former CIA officer John Kiriakou, since the era of Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan’s nuclear weapons were effectively under American oversight. @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

3/ And why does the Pak state appear unable — or unwilling — to guarantee equal protection under the law for all citizens regardless of faith or identity? #SavePakMinorities @95Kaleem @ihsanehmad

2/ Why are sectarian hate groups allowed to thrive while minorities continue to bury their dead & live in fear? Why does accountability remain weak whenever abuses against minorities occur? @95Kaleem @ihsanehmad

1/ Why do minority communities constantly feel abandoned instead of protected by the very institutions meant to safeguard them? Whether it is Shias, Ahmadis, Christians, or Hindus increasingly question whether equal citizenship truly exists in #Pak . @95Kaleem @ihsanehmad

2/ Midnight raids on homes, intimidation of women, enforced fear, & the looting of poor families’ hard-earned savings are not “security operations” — they are acts of collective punishment against an already vulnerable population. #SaveBalochistan @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

1/ #PakMilitary’s unleashing wrath on powerless civilians has once again exposed the brutal reality faced by ordinary people under militarization. Its primary targets are the #Pashtun, #Ahmadis, #Baloch, and Hindus in Pakistan! @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

2/ For decades, the military imposed enforced disappearances, collective punishment & violent crackdowns across Balochistan. Entire communities were militarized, dissent was crushed, & families of missing persons were left searching for justice.@WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

1/ #PakArmy’s presence in Balochistan is increasingly being pushed back into fortified cantonments, camps, & headquarters in Quetta, while vast stretches of roads and highways are slipping out of Islamabad’s control. @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

2/ Instead of political reconciliation & justice, the response has repeatedly been violence, censorship, and intimidation. This endless cycle persists because the state refuses to confront its own role in creating the crisis.@WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

1/ What is happening in Balochistan is not simply a security issue; it is the consequence of decades of systematic oppression, exploitation, & denial of basic rights by the Pakistani military establishment. @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

2/ For Christians, Hindus, & Ahmadis, fear has become a way of life in Pakistan. Minority families live under constant anxiety while cases of harassment, sexual violence, abductions, intimidation continue to surface with horrifying regularity. @FarazPervaiz3 @MonaChaudhryy

1/ The heart-wrenching abuse of 10-year-old Christian girl Diya Bibi in Sargodha is not just another isolated crime — it is yet another brutal reminder of Pakistan’s systemic failure to protect its religious minorities. @FarazPervaiz3 @MonaChaudhryy

2/ Decades of operations, checkpoints, and crackdowns have not resolved the conflict because the core political grievances remain unaddressed. Yet instead of listening to Baloch people, state continues to prioritise coercion over reconciliation.@Deedagbaloch32 @miryar_baloch

1/ The reality for Pakistan’s rulers is that military force alone has failed to bring lasting peace to Balochistan. How much more bloodshed is Pak willing to tolerate before it finally acknowledges that people of Balochistan cannot be silenced ? @Deedagbaloch32 @miryar_baloch

3/ first relying heavily on the United States during the Cold War and the “War on Terror,” and now leaning almost entirely on China for financial lifelines, infrastructure projects, and diplomatic backing.@WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

2/ Critics increasingly view it as evidence of Pakistan’s deep dependence on foreign powers for economic survival and political relevance. For decades, Pakistan’s ruling elite has moved from one external patron to another — @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

1/ #Pakistan once again proudly celebrated its so-called “iron brotherhood” with China — a relationship Islamabad presents as a symbol of strength, but there is something behind the walls of smiley diplomatic meeting! @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

@WajSKhan @husainhaqqani 3/ Reports and videos of police officers assaulting women in Punjab continue to surface, exposing a culture where power is exercised through fear rather than justice.@WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

2/ Under Pakistan’s militarised system, ordinary citizens — especially poor women — are often treated not with dignity, but with force and humiliation. @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani

1/ The same #Pak puppet pseudo-elected leaders and their military dictators that constantly lecture the world about “protecting women” stand exposed for brutalising women at home with shocking impunity. @WajSKhan @husainhaqqani
