Protests in many European countries have turned unusually violent. Is it the autumn of discontent? What has moved so many people across many borders against their governments? If the protests continue, they would surely undermine European solidarity. @EUCouncil @Carnegie_Europe
The mountain dwellings of Babusar-Chilas region in northern Pakistan need anthropological attention, and research. The distinct structure raises many questions to b probed on an interesting sub-culture. @oxford_anthro
It is ironic that the person who turned a huge swath of a state into rubble, and killed thousands, including children, comes to the UN and addresses GA. And the man who had no role in the conflict was unable to visit the UN. This is where the world stands today. @EUCouncil @UN
Iran Presidents address to UNGA followed President Trumps’. Mr Pezashkuans response was calculated. This came after a meeting between the two sides that Mr Trump called good. Hopefully, something good comes out, putting end to months of uncertainty, hostility. @EmbassyIranian
Pres Trumps UNGA speech reflects America 250 agenda, and vision in very clear terms. Final verdict, there’s much more to come in keeping America Great! (Iranians beware!)
Houthis continued attacks on KSA seem to b aimed at a confrontation between the Kingdom and Iran, something both have avoided. Allies of KSA need to play their role in repelling Houthi attacks. @SaudiEmbassy
Houthi attack on the Holy city is shocking and outrageous. What kind of message are they sending? Such attacks must b met forcefully, and condemned by all. Houthis should pay a heavy price for such a sacrilegious act. @SaudiEmbassy
Meeting of Iran President and Abu Dhabi crown prince is a significant and positive development, that could lead to lasting peace between two countries that share Gulf waters. Hope such contacts continue. @UAE_News
Theatre of confrontation has shifted from Hormuz to the Red Sea, with a new actor active. Saudi-Yemen confrontation is the new dimension of the conflict raging in the region. Who is going to defuse the situ here? This needs urgent attention, and resolution. @SaudiEmbassy
Seems like both US and Iran are keen to continue attacks on each other’s assets, in a test of wills, and to keep the conflict alive. What’s Iran gaining from this? What does this mean for Iranian economy? Does this strategy really strengthen the regime? @gulf_news
Big news, and the decision by the UK on Israel’s illegal settlements. Such decisions should also take into account Israel’s continued oppression, and killings in Gaza. The world community need to build more pressure on Israel to abide by rules of civilised conduct.
September 6 is a reminder , not just for the Pakistanis, but the outside world how a smaller, weaker country defends itself against a stronger adversary. A more poignant reminder- for India-is last years encounter in the air that established Pak air superiority. @OfficialDGISPR
The joint statement of 8 Muslim countries on Israeli policy in Gaza is welcome. Such policy and statement should check Israel’s expansionist designs for Gaza. Other Muslim countries should join the call. @OIC_OCI
Gloria Steinem rose as an icon of- and for feminism when it was not so widely known, and understood. And she devoted her life to the cause. She will b remembered by women across the world whose struggle for equality she shaped. Her message is now her memory. @womensmarch
New American strikes at Iranian targets, and expected Iranian response of attacks on US bases in neighbourhood. Is this the new normal in the region? Both are not willing to show flexibility, trying to tire the other. It’s the Hormuz knot to b untied, for a settlement.
An odd instance of not meeting another, at SCO summit. PM Sharif, and PM Modi. Though their comments are directed at the other. The two are unable to directly address the other, and the issues-almost divided by a curtain, multiplying gravity of issues. @SouthAsiaIndex
It’s now coming from all directions, and cricket players, how Pakistan team has really lost it, guts and gusto, and the real spirit of the game. The question is, when will the players themselves realise this, and those who send them to the ground. @TheRealPCBMedia
I’s it routine or normal for @SkySportsNews to air an interview, with a strong political connotation, during a match? @TheRealPCBMedia
CDF Asim Munir’s visit to Iran, and talks with Iranian leaders could jump start the stalled peace process. Instead of shaming and damning the other side, Iran and the US should use this oppor to renew commitment to peace in the region. A lot of time is already lost. @gulf_news
