Narrative by Design: Al Jazeera’s Editorial Tilt on the Pakistan–TTP Conflict
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.
Modern Platforms, Evolving Doctrine
The Gulf’s air-power evolution is increasingly shaped by the fusion of advanced platforms with modern doctrine and faster decision cycles.

The War on Knowledge: History, Ideology, and Strategic Goals of TTP Attacks on Educational Institutions
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.
Economic Engagement or Ethical Dilemma? Canada-India Relations and the Nijjar Case
Canada’s renewed trade outreach to India comes at a moment of deep diplomatic strain. As Minister Maninder Sidhu seeks to revive economic cooperation, the unresolved assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, and allegations implicating senior Indian officials, cast a long shadow. The controversy raises critical questions about whether Ottawa can balance economic ambitions with justice, accountability, and the protection of Canadian sovereignty.
Zohran Mamdani Stands Up for Justice: Holding Modi and Netanyahu Accountable
Zohran Mamdani, a rising progressive voice in the U.S., has boldly equated Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with war crimes. Drawing on global principles like the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and ICC indictments, Mamdani challenges the immunity of influential leaders and advocates for accountability for mass atrocities in Gujarat (2002) and Gaza.
How Pakistan can Benefit from the World Bank’s New Nuclear Policy
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.
Why Kabul’s Trade Boycott Hurts Itself More Than Pakistan
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 Re-Emergence of Terror: Afghanistan as a Global Terrorist Hub
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 End of Dollar Dominance: How Gold is Rewriting the Rules of Global Finance
After nearly eight decades of U.S. dollar supremacy, the global financial order is entering a historic transition. As nations seek refuge from debt crises, sanctions, and monetary manipulation, gold is regaining its status as the world’s most trusted store of value. Led by China’s strategic accumulation and supported by a worldwide shift toward de-dollarisation, this transformation signals the birth of a multipolar, asset-backed financial era, one anchored not in promises, but in tangible wealth.
The Taliban’s Broken Promises: Time for a New U.S. Strategy in Afghanistan
Since the Taliban’s return to power, Afghanistan has once again become a hub for militant activity despite their promises under the 2020 Doha Accord. UN and SIGAR reports reveal that Afghan soil now shelters TTP, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS-K operatives involved in cross-border attacks, particularly against Pakistan. The Taliban’s failure to uphold intra-Afghan dialogue, misuse of international aid, human rights abuses, and deception in regional agreements have eroded trust globally. With terror networks thriving under their protection, it is time for the U.S. and international community to adopt a new, accountable strategy toward Afghanistan’s Taliban regime.
