Hello SenatorSherryRehman sahiba! locals from #GB & #Ghizer have confirmed that precious lives were saved by shepherds’ calls, & not by the so‑called ineffective “early warning systems.” Will you reconsider your remarks on their efficacy? Yes? No? Any guilt?

The destiny and future of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan shouldn't be the waiting time between death and the arrival of a green or a white helicopter. We deserve better! #GilgitBaltistan #ClimateEmergency #Flood

Mustafa Kamal SenatorSherryRehman The area where this GLOF event occurred has no early warning system. Not even included among the 16 selected GLOF hit locations of Gilgit_Baltistan.

Disasters in Gilgit-Baltistan are always framed by the colonial state as destiny or God’s will. The truth is, these are man-made tragedies, born from decades of colonial policies that have torn apart the region’s ecology.

Federal ministers are lying Local government is ignorant UNDP GLOF project has been declared corrupt. Local volunteers are not well-equipped. People in #GilgitBaltistan are left at the mercy of their own during these devastating times.

GB’s glaciers will continue to melt given our ever-warming climate. But while Glofs are inevitable, repeated human failures are not. The people of GB deserve more than sympathy after the fact; they deserve a government that takes their peril seriously.

In the times where we should be planting more trees, the local administration in my village are cutting years old trees in the name of encroachment. Picture 1 shows the recent plantation of the local administration. How come these plants aren't encroachment?? #ClimateCrisis

Gilgit-Baltistan is the Timbuktu of Pakistan, told Zafarullah to the national security council of Pakistan. Exactly how a coloniser views their colony!!
