The viral video alleging to show a Delhi blast suspect has sparked renewed debate on AI-driven disinformation. Forensic inconsistencies, ideological distortions, and the Indian media’s rush to broadcast the clip suggest a manufactured narrative aimed at securitizing Kashmiri identity and reshaping public perception through synthetic reality.
The visit of Afghanistan’s commerce minister to New Delhi signals a cautious thaw in India–Taliban ties, driven by mutual short-term imperatives. Yet four decades of path dependence, ideological hostility, and the AQIS–Taliban nexus render the détente fragile—more a tactical pause than a strategic reset.
The rise and fall of the Awami League is a story of nationalism turned inward, power hardened into authoritarianism, and a political movement ultimately consumed by the very forces it once harnessed. From its separatist origins in the 1960s to the iron-fisted rule of Sheikh Hasina, the party’s arc ends with an extraordinary reversal: the International Crimes Tribunal sentencing Hasina to death in absentia. The party that delivered independence now stands condemned, morally, legally, and historically, under the weight of its own contradictions and its fateful overreliance on India.
During regional crises, including the Pahalgam incident and border clashes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, Pakistani media’s factual reporting counters Indian propaganda and Taliban disinformation. By emphasizing evidence, diplomacy, and restraint, it strengthens national security and shapes public perception in South Asia.
Al Jazeera’s reputation for alternative journalism contrasts sharply with its recent reporting on Pakistan’s conflict with the TTP and tensions with the Afghan Taliban. A close review shows consistent editorial choices that soften the Taliban’s image, reframe terrorist violence as resistance, and cast Pakistan’s counter-terrorism actions as aggression—ultimately reshaping the narrative in Kabul’s favour.
The TTP’s war on education is a deliberate campaign to reshape society by destroying schools, suppressing knowledge, and undermining state authority. Rooted in ideology, coercion, and strategy, these attacks target Pakistan’s future by dismantling its most vital institutions of learning.
The World Bank’s decision to lift its decades-old ban on nuclear energy financing marks a turning point for developing nations. For Pakistan, this policy shift offers a rare opportunity to tackle its chronic energy crisis through clean, affordable, and reliable nuclear power. By aligning with the IAEA’s safety standards, engaging with World Bank institutions like IFC and MIGA, and integrating nuclear expansion into its national climate goals, Pakistan can position itself at the forefront of sustainable energy transformation.
Afghanistan’s bid to pivot trade away from Pakistan after the October 2025 closures reveals the limits of sovereignty without geography. Islamabad’s leverage remains structural, grounded in security and logistics, not coercion.
The Taliban’s return to power has revived Afghanistan’s role as a global Terrorist hub. Despite pledges under the 2020 Doha Agreement, the regime continues to shelter and enable groups such as Al-Qaeda, TTP, and ETIM, creating a volatile nexus of terrorism that threatens regional stability and global security. As internal conflicts deepen and governance collapses, Afghanistan’s transformation into an ideological sanctuary ensures a cycle of chaos and suffering that primarily victimizes its own people.
The escalating tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan’s Taliban-led regime have reignited South Asia’s most volatile frontier. As cross-border attacks intensify and the Taliban refuses to dismantle the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Islamabad faces mounting security and sovereignty challenges. Yet, amid this chaos, India emerges as the silent beneficiary, leveraging regional instability to weaken Pakistan strategically while maintaining its image as a victim of terrorism. This calculated exploitation threatens to entrench South Asia in a new cycle of proxy conflict.
