Constant dependence on external loans is pushing #Pakistan toward a financial dead end. #IMF package may seem like a lifeline now, but it's only delaying the inevitable collapse if we don’t make tough structural changes. We can’t survive on borrowed money forever.  Dr. Taimur Rahman

For decades, #Pakistan's military sought influence in #Afghanistan by backing extremist groups. Now, same forces are turning on us. Instead of securing peace, military’s strategy has made the region more volatile. Who will take responsibility for this failure? Husain Haqqani
