Bannu & The Operation
Things were difficult for the Pakistan Army to begin with, to say the least, but with the wave that is sweeping across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa now, things have gotten tremendously more difficult.

Understanding the Positions on Afghanistan
While many will disagree with us, we have spent months discussing the situation in Afghanistan, and these statements don’t track with the on-ground reality. We’ve also clearly said that the force that would replace the Taliban in Afghanistan will be more brutal than any terror group the world has seen thus far.
