The leaders of that time Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal, and countless freedom…
Afghanistan has long been a battleground for geopolitical struggles, but under the Taliban’s rule, it has transformed into something far more sinister a global drug cartel.

However, the Taliban has taken it to unprecedented levels, controlling not just cultivation but also…

Increase in Poppy Cultivation and Drug Trafficking Under Taliban Rule – Is Drug Money Funding Terrorism? Since the Taliban took power, Afghanistan has seen a significant rise in drug production and smuggling, posing serious security threats not only to Afghanistan but to the entire region.

The sound of gunfire fades, but its echoes linger. A funeral procession moves slowly through the streets, mourners walking in silence, their eyes heavy with grief.

But soon, the urgency fades, and life returns to normal until the next tragedy forces us to pause once again.…
The earth drinks the blood of scholars once again. Another man of knowledge silenced. Another guardian of faith gunned down near a mosque. This time, it is Mufti Shakirullah. Before him, it was Maulana Hamid-ul-Haq in Akora Khattak. And before that, countless others. The murderers are known. Their ideology is infamous. Yet, they continue to exist, to spread, to kill. Who are these people? The Khawarij outcasts of Islam, extremists who distort religion to serve their thirst for blood and power. They claim to uphold faith, but their hands are stained with the blood of those who teach it. They…
