When asked about the Biden administration’s plans to supply advanced weaponry to Pakistan before the transition of power to President-elect Donald Trump, Miller stated, “I have nothing to announce at this time.”

Regarding violent protests in Pakistan, Miller said the importance of peaceful demonstrations globally. “Protests, whether in Pakistan or elsewhere, should remain peaceful,” he stated, urging the Pakistani government to handle demonstrators respectfully.

Addressing another query, Miller declined to comment on whether Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed charges against the Adani Group. He also refused to comment on whether Blinken discussed an Indian agent with his Indian counterpart. He stated, “I will not comment on private diplomatic conversations.” However, he added that the US regularly engages with Indian officials on the conspiracy surrounding the murder of a Sikh leader.

The briefing highlighted the intricate web of challenges and diplomatic issues the US continues to navigate on the global stage.

Earlier, the United States (US) also condemned the recent terrorist attack in Karachi and expressed sympathies for the victims.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said during a news briefing, “We condemn the deadly attack near Karachi’s International Airport. We deeply mourn the loss of life and injuries. We extend our heartfelt condolences to those impacted.”

Centralized Power and the Core–Periphery Divide in Afghanistan

SAT Editorial Desk November 7, 2025

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s return in 2021 brought rapid consolidation of power, but also the revival of a historical flaw. By concentrating authority in the hands of southern Pashtun elites, the Taliban have recreated the core–periphery divide that has destabilized every Afghan regime since the 19th century. This hyper-centralization, rooted in ethnic exclusivity and Kandahar dominance, risks a repeat of past collapses as non-Pashtun regions turn toward functional autonomy.

Broken Promises: The Taliban’s Betrayal of Global Commitments

SAT Editorial Desk November 6, 2025

Nearly three years after seizing power, the Taliban’s systematic violation of their international commitments under the 2020 Doha Accord has transformed Afghanistan into a sanctuary for terrorism, entrenched an autocratic regime, and institutionalized gender apartheid. Beyond moral failure, this deceit poses a grave threat to regional stability, international counterterrorism efforts, and the credibility of global diplomacy. Holding the regime accountable is now a strategic necessity, not a choice.

Do You Remember 6/11/ 1947?: A Forgotten Jammu Genocide and the Continuing Erasure of Kashmiriyat

Saba Ghulam Nabi November 6, 2025

On November 6, 1947, one of South Asia’s earliest genocides unfolded in Jammu, where hundreds of thousands of Muslims were massacred or forced to flee. Yet, unlike other global tragedies, this atrocity remains buried in silence. The Jammu Genocide not only reshaped the region’s demography but laid the foundation for India’s ongoing campaign of identity erasure in Kashmir. From demographic engineering to cultural censorship, the spirit of Kashmiriyat continues to face systematic annihilation.

India’s Climate Policy after COP28: Net Zero 2070 — A Fair Promise or a Risky Postponement?

Manya Singhal November 4, 2025

India’s Net Zero 2070 target reflects a delicate balance between development equity and climate urgency. While progress in renewables, green finance, and adaptation is visible, the absence of clear interim milestones risks turning ambition into delay. The real challenge lies in translating a distant horizon into measurable, near-term climate action before 2030.

The Tehreek-e-Hijrat of 1920 and Its Parallels with Contemporary Refugee Politics

Amna Hassan November 4, 2025

The Tehreek-e-Hijrat of 1920 saw thousands of Indian Muslims migrate to Afghanistan, only to be turned away when Kabul could no longer cope. A century later, Afghan officials criticise Pakistan’s refugee policies while ignoring their own historical refusal to host Muslim migrants. The parallel reveals not just irony, but the enduring challenge of compassion, capacity, and collective responsibility.
