On November 21, Islamabad witnessed a dramatic turn of events as the High Court directed the federal government to maintain peace at all costs. This directive came in light of the visit of the Belarusian President and a high-level Chinese delegation.

The situation escalated when protesters, instead of heading to Sangjani, breached the Red Zone in…

Afghanistan has become a hub for global terrorist organizations, especially those active against Pakistan.
