The recent buzz around the potential involvement of former U.S. President Donald Trump in securing the release of Imran Khan, the imprisoned former Prime Minister of Pakistan, reveals a fundamental miscalculation by Khan’s supporters. This hope, predominantly fueled by PTI’s diaspora and social media propaganda, reflects a desperate attempt to draw international attention to Khan’s plight. However, a closer examination suggests that such expectations are both unrealistic and misplaced. Firstly, the belief that Trump, or any U.S. leader, would intervene to secure Khan’s release overlooks the intricacies of Pakistan-U.S. relations. While Trump and Khan might have shared a superficial camaraderie…
The Afghan Taliban, under the pretense of governance and humanitarian efforts, are increasingly revealing their true intentions. After the exposure of U.S. aid being funneled to their regime, the Taliban have turned to their “old allies,” the Indian establishment, further exposing their duplicity and anti-Pakistan agenda. Recent meetings between Indian officials and the Taliban leadership underline a calculated move to destabilize Pakistan, particularly its Pashtun regions. The meeting in Dubai between Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and the Taliban’s acting Foreign Minister, Mullah Amir Khan Muttaqi, cloaked under the guise of “humanitarian aid,” has laid bare the nexus between the…

US Congressman Tim Burchett has expressed serious concerns regarding the indirect flow of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Afghan Taliban. In a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, Burchett urged the cessation of financial aid that may be inadvertently supporting the Taliban regime. Burchett’s apprehensions are grounded in reports indicating that international aid intended for humanitarian purposes is being misappropriated by the Taliban. The Taliban benefits from international aid through the establishment of fraudulent nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and by imposing taxes and fees on legitimate aid activities. Since the Taliban’s takeover in August 2021, the United States has remained a significant…
