In 1879, a simple Egyptian peasant woman named Mubarka Khafaji from a village in Kafr El-Sheikh married a farmer, Ibrahim Atta, who worked for daily wages. Due to financial hardship, he divorced her even though she was in the final months of her pregnancy. Mubarka moved with her mother and brother to Alexandria, where she gave birth to her son, Ali Ibrahim Atta. She made a firm decision to do everything possible to raise and educate him in the best way. She had countless reasons to despair and grow bitter toward men, but she did not. She could have forced her son into child labor selling tissues at traffic lights, but instead she worked as a cheese seller in the streets of Alexandria to support him. She enrolled her son Ali in the Ras El-Tin Primary School. After he completed primary education, his father came to take him away to make him work with only a basic certificate. But Mubarka’s dreams were much greater. She secretly moved her son from the roof of her house to the neighboring roof and fled with him to Cairo, enrolling him in the Khedivial School in Darb El-Gamamiz. She worked for a family in order to fund his education. Ali excelled in his studies and was admitted to medical school in 1897, graduating in 1901. Fifteen years later, Sultan Hussein Kamel fell seriously ill, and doctors were unable to diagnose his condition. Dr. Othman Ghaleb suggested the name of Dr. Ali Ibrahim. He successfully performed a critical surgery, after which he was appointed as the Sultan’s chief surgical consultant and personal physician, receiving the title of "Bey." In 1922, King Fouad I granted him the title of "Pasha." In 1929, Dr. Ali Pasha Ibrahim became the first Egyptian dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Fouad I University (Cairo University). He later became the university’s president. In 1940, he was appointed Minister of Health. In the same year, he founded the Egyptian Medical Syndicate and became its first president. He also served as a member of the Egyptian Parliament. His mother was: An uneducated, rural, divorced peasant woman. Yet she raised a son who changed history. The reform of any society begins with a mother. Salute to every mother who is a true school of life.

This attention doesn’t seem to last long. Pakistan is caught up in increasingly rival East-West geopolitics. In addition to its arch-rival India, Pakistan faces the challenge of balancing relations with China and the U.S., two world powers growing increasingly belligerent toward each other.

Pakistan is loving the attention

@erinflorez01 I don’t know how Pakistanis will receive this—whether as a compliment or an insult. Pakistani culture may not be particularly comfortable with placing Asim Munir and JD Vance’s wife in the same public context or spotlight.

🙊🙈🙉 I’ll be nice and not comment. lol

@clashreport I don’t know how Pakistanis will receive this—whether as a compliment or an insult. Pakistani culture may not be particularly comfortable with placing Asim Munir and JD Vance’s wife in the same public context or spotlight.

JD Vance: I have joked that I have two very, very important people in my life. An Indian and a Pakistani. The Indian is my wife, and the Pakistani is Field Marshal Munir.

Why is Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir accompanying Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on nearly every major international visit? Is the military present because security issues are on the agenda, or because the military is itself a principal center of power in Pakistan? The answer seems obvious. The constant presence of Pakistan’s top military commander alongside its elected Prime Minister suggests that the military remains deeply involved in shaping the country’s foreign policy and strategic decisions.

I didn’t mean this with ill intent! All I meant is that a clear distribution of responsibilities, like everywhere else, between the civilian government and the military would tremendously help Pakistan in the long run. This will also help Afghanistan and everyone else in the region. You need to stop seeing everything from a military angle. Not everybody, especially Afghanistan, is an enemy.

There is an overarching question about the root causes of the Afghan conflict: Is it foreign powers that have consistently violated Afghanistan’s sovereignty through manipulation, intervention, and occupation, or is it Afghans themselves who repeatedly invite foreign interference to advance their own internal political struggles? This is a clear example of the latter. The NRF is not condemning the Taliban’s attack on Pakistan as a gesture of goodwill toward Pakistan. Rather, it is doing so in an attempt to win Pakistan’s favor and secure its support in a struggle for power against fellow Afghans. Like many factions before it, the NRF appears willing to seek foreign backing to advance its domestic political ambitions.

We vehemently condemn today’s aggression against Pakistan by the Taliban terrorist group. Afghanistan’s raison d’être should be to serve as a neutral, stable, and constructive state: a center for trade, security, and prosperity where the region and the wider international community feel safe and secure in a peaceful and liberated Afghanistan. Taliban-occupied Afghanistan serves neither the interests of the people of Afghanistan nor the security and stability of the region. For this reason, Afghanistan’s democratic opposition and regional stakeholders must engage in serious dialogue and reach a common consensus to transform this dire reality into one that serves the interests of all. If the current course continues, it will pose an existential threat to Afghanistan’s future as a state.

@AmuTelevision نجفی‌زاده باید له خپل ځان څخه وشرمېږي. د جمهوریت پر مهال ده او طلوع نیوز هر هغه څه وکړل چې جمهوریت کمزوری او بدنام کړي او طالبانو ته مشروعیت ورکړي. اوس بیا د هماغو طالبانو پر ضد تبلیغ کوي. که د وجدان لږه ذره هم ولري، نو باید ځان د خپل هېواد او خلکو پر وړاندې د خیانت مسؤل وبولي.

You should be ashamed of yourself. During the Republic, you and Tolo News did everything possible to undermine the Republic while giving legitimacy and publicity to the Taliban. Now you lobby against the very group you once helped promote. Anyone with even a small sense of conscience would struggle to see themselves as anything other than a traitor to their country.

We are like autonomous electronic devices, and our bodies operate according to our desires and mindset. We have a very strong mindset: if we say we are energetic, we become energetic; if we say we are weak, we become weak. We can strengthen or weaken our immune system.

@AFIntlBrk همه می‌دانند که شما این محکومیت را نه به خاطر افغانستان و نه به خاطر پاکستان و امنیت منطقه ابراز می‌دارید، بلکه تمامش به خاطر این است که شاید پاکستان به شما بی‌حیثیت‌ها جای بدهد تا از آنجا علیه مردم خود بجنگید و به قدرت دست یابید.

علی‌میثم نظری، رئیس روابط خارجی جبهه مقاومت ملی، حمله طالبان به پاکستان را محکوم کرد. او می‌گوید «افغانستان اشغال‌شده توسط طالبان نه به نفع مردم افغانستان است و نه به نفع امنیت و ثبات منطقه.» afintl.com/202606208907

@CMShehbaz @IKPeshawar If this deal results in the normalization of U.S.-Iran relations, it will seal your fate into eternal doom, God willing.

We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely expected in the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the peace deal immediately after, followed by technical level talks next week. We would like to thank United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran for their ongoing commitment during the negotiations, and we extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in the region for their support. We are confident that this historic peace deal will form a strong foundation for lasting peace. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @araghchi

@AFIntlBrk توافق آمریکا و ایران اهمیت منفی ژئوپولیتیک افغانستان را بار دیگر ارتقا خواهد داد. ما همیشه خط حایل بین قدرت‌ها بوده‌ایم و خواهیم ماند. فرصت تغیر و انتقال این حایل بودن همیشه از دست ما افغان‌ها فرار می‌کند.

It is utterly unbelievable that Pakistan is now complaining about the very Taliban it created, nurtured, and helped bring to power. Even today, many Taliban leaders maintain deep ties with Pakistan, owning property and assets there. Some are married to Pakistani citizens and reportedly hold Pakistani passports or citizenship. Stop trying to deceive the world. Pakistan and the Taliban remain closely connected, and few are convinced by the narrative of irreconcilable tensions. Many see these periodic disputes as part of a broader power and security game in the region. Increasingly, however, there are signs that this strategy may be producing consequences that Pakistan itself did not anticipate.

#PakistanAtUNSC "Several references have been made to the closure of border. Let me clarify that the closure of border between Pakistan and Afghanistan does not, from Pakistan's perspective, affect the movement of humanitarian supplies. Pakistan has been processing and facilitating the passage of humanitarian goods and material." - Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, tells the Security Council during the meeting on Afghanistan

با همین پوگری که نشسته‌اید و صحبت می‌کنید، یقین کامل داشته باشید که هر زن افغان که شما را می‌بیند، نفرین می‌فرستد. مردم، به‌ویژه زنان افغانستان، در چه حالی‌اند و شما را ببینند، فقط بگویید از کدام آسمان هستید و صحبت می‌کنید، در حالی که یک دو روپه مهاجر بی‌وطن در آمریکا هستید. شکسته‌نفسی کار خردمندان است که شما نیستید و هرگز نخواهید بود.

گپ جدی!
