- Jun24-2010--In a move that showed that there might be resentment in the US army at a black president who seemed not to have everything under control and who was not an out and out right wing extremist control freak...Obama worried at resentment amongst his defence advisors fired afghanistan incharge general mchrystal for insidious comments about him and his vice president...Mchrystal who while moving to get things under control in afghanistan and pakistan was on the retirement trail and unlucky to be used as a pawn..Petraus who recently fainted at a senate hearing was back in charge...Obama backed out from firing defence minister Robert Gates who was also critical of his deadline to withdraw from afghanistan..Things have calmed down in the theatre somewhat as everyone prepares to play the after or the end game...Obama has been seen more as a pacifist than an aggressive overseas invader...has changed his game in the region from using force to economic incentives and sanctions..positions possibly opposed by the US army and defence ministry who would prefer the terrorism and control scenario to be accomplished..which could force the iranians to depend more on pakistan as there financial domain is threatened and border trade with pakistan remains there only option...pakistan too has some degree of control emerging over taleban actions as the army crushes areas of insurgency in the Fata...Mchrystal kept a close liason with kiani and was seen as someone who could be understood in the warlords fight in afghanistan and the karzai-pakistan tussle for greater control over each others actions...there were also some signs emerging that the US could provide more powerful weapons to pakistan to control iran and afghanistan once they leave while pushing india to a more powerful financial control status in the area...pakistan has become vulnerable in the energy field and was being seen tobe almost blackmailed by iranians into securing higher prices for electricity, gas and possibly petroleum products...iranians have been seen to be asking for dissidents who they than hanged in exchange for an expensive gas supply deal...pakistans shiite dominated government has been under pressure from the iranians and was literally forced to let the iranians mount security operations inside pakistan and provide information on dissidents...which many regard as a human rights disaster...
2024 Elections
election results in 2024..PTI in 2018 just a pukhtun based party literally surged in Punjab and karachi to emerge as the largest party with 114 seats in the national assembly...Though imran did not win a majority in 2018 even he failed in 2024 because of more cooperation between the PMLn and PPP and the collapse of the majlis amal and the breakup of imrans coalition whom he derogatorily alleged were trying to blackmail him alongwith losing the backing of the army and the resurgence of the mqm-P and JUIf...there is a large difference in the 2018 upright imran the cricket captain and the dubious looter/crazy politician imran in 2024 and the running after money, embezzler of party funds/funds from dubious contractors..looting state gifts and using a foreign office cipher for propaganda the world over..his mean and nasty influencers also did not help his cause...the PTI used to lap up everything the PTI influencers put out...

How it all started...coups and politics and islam and democracy...
how bhuttos got into politics in 1958...
debacle in Dacca
total humiliation...India had steadily destabilized east pakistan over twenty years playing on ethnic, financial, development and military concerns...pakistan was not that rich at that time and the ethnicists played on phsychosis generated by cyclones, floods, tea and jute...the army and west pakistani politicians could not accept a bengali dominated government and a small army contingent could not defend against the mukti bahini and the indians as teh US withdrew its support as usual...When teh going gets tough teh US chickens out as usual...!! The indians have continued teh same themes in karachi, sindh and balochistan but similar tougher responses have not allowed their success although pakistan is now at best a divided land with a pathetic center...!!While it left pakistan numb at the time many now feel the seperation was a proper solution as east pakistanis did not get along with pakistan and they would be better able to solve their problems with india...others still pine away for the lost land of rivers, tea and jute...others suggest that india should handover kashmir in exchange...while some still want to repatriate those considered pakistanis and left stranded in bangladeshi camps...others however heave a sigh of relief as teh problems with the remaining provinces are generally insoluble.....and ethnic regionalism or provincialism mixed with economic and racial nonsense is not a pleasant mode of politics anyway...
allah be praised
