The parallels are uncanny...

The burden of bravery should not fall on any one person, but Imaan Mazari carries it very well. Hope she stays safe from these ghouls.

Yesterday, BYC leaders have been shifted from Hudda Jail to Civil Lines Police Station, Quetta. Since then, their families have been denied any meeting with them, and the entire area around the police station has been sealed off. We are deeply concerned about the safety and

Today as we remember Shaheed Haroon Bilour on the 7th anniversary of his martyrdom, we mourn the loss of Maulana Khan Zeb who was martyred a few hours ago for demanding peace. Terrorists continue to kill the best of us. The mainstream stands by and watches on as our people get killed.

Strongly condemn Maulana Khanzeb’s brutal assassination, most likely by some variety of state-sired jihadists. Another voice of sanity and reason silenced. Deepest condolences to Aimal Wali Khan Khan, the Awami National Party friends and Maulana saib’s family. May the good Lord bless his soul

جان بحق اور شہید ہونے والوں میں صرف ڈومیسائل کا فرق ہے۔

ٹارگٹ کلنگ میں شہید ہونیوالے مولانا خان زیب شہید کی نماز جنازہ آبائی علاقہ ناوگئی میں ادا کردی گئی۔۔ جو ہیں خاموش ہراک ظلم و ستم ہونےپر کیسےبچ پائیں گےوہ سچ کو چھپانےوالے آگ بھڑکے گی تو بچ پائے گا نہ کوئی بھی ہیں تماشائی بہت , کم ہیں بجھانے والے۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

100s of 1000s of Pashtuns are on roads during this week in different parts of Pakhtunkhwa to protest against policies of the security state for turning their land into battlefield for “dollar wars”. There is zero response in rest of Pakistan indicating the gulf between the two.

Local media & Baloch journalists broke this news long ago. Just follow the local sources

انتہائی افسوس ناک۔ یہ سلسلہ اب بند ہونا چاہئے خاص کر پشاور میں جہاں خان کی حکومت ہے۔ اٹھانے والے ایک یا دو انٹلیجنس ادارے میں سے ایک ہونگے جو سب کو معلوم ہیں

This is so heartbreaking! Thoughts and prayers with the families of the deceased and ANP.

Another 9 unarmed travellers from Punjab murdered in cold blood in Balochistan. BLA claims responsibility. In between BLA's condemnable bloody campaign and equally reprehensible State oppression, this cycle of violence seems endless. Balochistan bleeds. Nobody cares.

Thousands of Pashtuns came out in Wana, S. Waziristan and Bara, Khyber to demand peace. They came out to protest against terrorism and militarisation of our areas. Not a single news channel will report this. Not a single mainstream political party will acknowledge these protests.

Our own local version of settler colonialism. Stinking to the core!

With few exceptions, most of these👇journos have long capitulated to power, perfecting art of compromised reporting. While PTI rightly draws sympathy for repression it faces, it has shown little commitment to democracy, federalism, or media freedom. The future looks bleak.

PIA is on the chopping block again. Hope PIA land is separated frm other assets, to prevent buyers interested only in the land. Previous privatisations have resulted in industries being trashed n land converted to housing.

Taking a break from social media for a few months to focus on academic commitments. SM is a powerful tool 4 amplifying voices but it can also be draining & distracting. Time to refocus on acad respnsblties. Best wishes to those who will keep using it to speak 4 the voiceless.
