Congratulations @MahrangBaloch_! This is great! #Baloch women have shouldered the burden of an ongoing struggle for decades. Now, with #MahrangBaloch gaining international recognition, their voices echo across the globe. @Sarawaan1

Now, with cities under lockdown & citizens under siege, #Pakistan’s paying the price for its own political Frankenstein. You built it. Now deal with it. @TahaSSiddiqui @rukhan1971 2/2

As far as I understand it, the #TLP’s rise wasn’t an accident — it was engineered. Every rally allowed, every hate preacher protected, every blasphemy slogan amplified — all under the watch of the “deep state.” @KazmiWajahat @QindeelAzeem 1/2

The #Saudis have read the room — #Pakistan is not a reliable partner, just a liability wrapped in chaos. You can’t sell stability when your own backyard’s on fire. @ZahraJoya 2/2

Days after signing a “security agreement” with #SaudiArabia, #Pakistan faces an assault by the #Taliban. And Riyadh? Silent. That silence speaks louder than any press release. @AstroNoodleCat @erinflorez01 1/2 https://t.co/836xd4uXfY
2️⃣3️⃣ 🇸🇦Saudi Arabia expresses concern over the clashes along the Afghanistan–Pakistan ‘border’, calling on both sides to show restraint, avoid escalation, and resolve tensions through dialogue and wisdom. Despite security pact with Pakistan, Saudi chooses neutrality.

It’s a good idea to remind the world this happened — because #Pakistan clearly hasn’t learned a thing. Justice delayed here isn’t just justice denied, it’s justice buried. #Jaranwala #Pakistan #MinorityRights

This vid from #Jaranwala targeting the #Christian minority in the country, popped up on my feed again today — churches burning, families fleeing, a mob celebrating destruction. It’s been over 2 yrs. Most of those responsible still walk free. @DaveAtherton20 @maryjamesgill 1/2

Zarina’s story isn’t isolated—it’s one of hundreds. When the state turns abductions into governance, and silence into patriotism, it ceases to be a state—it becomes a crime scene. #EndEnforcedDisappearances #Pakistan 2/2

Imagine fearing every news alert because it might show your loved one’s mutilated body. That’s daily life for #Baloch families under #Pakistan’s “kill & dump” policy in #Balochistan! And world still funds this state in the name of counterterrorism. @erinflorez01 @cj_lass1 1/2

While the world studies how machine learning drives extremism, we rely on guesswork, slogans, and temporary bans. TikTok, YouTube, encrypted chats — the new recruiting grounds — are ignored. @Soniakhan1pak 2/2

Ask yourselves: How can a state fight a threat it refuses to see? #Pakistan has no authoritative data on radicalisation, no research into the victims, no understanding of the digital battlefield. @Taimur_Laal @ImtiazMadmood @MansoorSAfridi 1/2 https://t.co/Xe1cqeylkS

Foreign investors see it clearly: no rule of law, no accountability, no incentive beyond political access. Until that changes, “recovery” will stay a headline, not a reality. #SavePakistanEconomy 2/2

Four years of near-zero growth, record inflation, and joblessness—#Pakistan’s stagnation isn’t cyclical, it’s structural. The system rewards rent-seeking, not innovation. And they keep borrowing from us! @IrshadAChauhan @steve_hanke @paulocasaca1 1/2

#PunjabPolice getting attacked by #TLP? Wow, who could’ve guessed that befriending extremists might backfire. Turns out, feeding the monster aka TLP doesn’t make you its friend. #KarmaHitsBack #Pakistan

This goofball with golf balls made me smile!
This bird just found out that golf balls bounce on concrete, and he’s having the time of his life 😂 https://t.co/VH9mzuYvyF

Trump’s embrace feels warm—until you realize it’s a bear hug. #Pakistan might enjoy the spotlight for a while, but the cost could be another decade of military domination & civilian irrelevance. Careful, #Islamabad. History bites harder than Trump tweets. https://t.co/eUZ8NSic5m

Trump’s meeting with Pakistan’s leaders signals renewed ties, but risks in Gaza, Afghanistan, and rising military dominance could imperil democracy

Extremely horrifying!
Since 2009, over 50,000 Christians in Nigeria have been massacred, and over 18,000 churches and 2,000 Christian schools have been destroyed. It is the result of decisions made by specific people, in specific places, at specific times—and it says a great deal about who is

#Washington must resist the urge to “fix” what its bombs once broke. The best help now isn’t troops — it’s aid, accountability, and allowing #Afghans to rebuild their country, not another #US project. @BobLancia 2/2

Oct 7, 2001: the day #America began its longest war. Two decades later, #Afghanistan remains scarred, and regional instability never really ended. If you remember that war honestly, you shouldn’t be asking for a sequel. @LindaWesson @cj_lass1 1/2
