Fall of Aleppo & Baghdad - Who is Responsible?

By Sikander Hayat 


Syria is suffering and whole Muslim world is suffering because of over emphasis on religious identity. Shia, Sunni and countless other sects are fighting to implement their form of Islam. 

 Islam is a simple religion but people have hijacked it and made it into something which it is not. At the heart of all wars is this fight for identity. Geopolitical forces are using this rift to further their aims. 

 Sipah Sihaba, Siphah Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Jhangwi etc. are symptoms of a deeper malaise in Pakistani society. 
Following article defines one of these struggles taking place in Pakistan.

    Both Syria and Iraq are now on Trump's travel ban list. The reason given by Trump regime is that these countries do not have a functioning central government along with the other five on the list.

    Today rebels backed by United States have started a new offensive against ISIS in Raqqa. Raqqa is the ISIS capital in Syria and along with Mosul in Iraq, the last remaining major population centre under ISIS control.
    Trump wants to defeat ISIS and US is supplying arms to these rebels to make sure of that. After capture of Raqqa, Assad's enemies will have a claim to a large swathe of Syria while Assad/Russia will have the coastal part of country. This will eventually fracture Syria into two territories. Lets see what happens.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen.

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga.
