There have been real gains on the foreign policy front — but foreign policy can only go as far as domestic stability allows.
Diplomatic “wins” with Washington or Riyadh mean little if the foundation at home remains fractured.
A powerful read by Al Jazeera 👇 – at Drigh Road, Pakistan
"Unless Islamabad can confront governance failures, regional inequalities and political mistrust, foreign policy gains will remain fragile. No... deal can substitute for a stable social contract within Pakistan itself."

In our latest policy brief, @EricShahzar unpacks Pakistan’s unfolding climate displacement crisis where extreme weather is forcing millions to migrate. Why is policy failing, and what must change?

My thoughts on how climate change interacts with human development and why climate-displaced people should be at the center of electoral promises

Looking forward! @mariannaspring
Can’t believe that Dr. @SaleemulHuq is no longer with us. I spoke to him just a day before his passing about a brilliant climate displacement program in Bangladesh. He was one of my primary interviewees for my doctoral research. Big loss in the climate space community

The EU is releasing an emergency humanitarian fund to support people affected by the #Jaranwala incident. Through this assistance, we stand in solidarity with vulnerable communities in 🇵🇰 Pakistan.

We should hang our heads in shame after Jaranwala incident. Stand by our fellow Cristian and Hindu Pakistanis they are our brothers and sisters. Naturally worried and afraid, they need us to stand by them, protect them and speak up for them. The fires of hatred threaten to burn everything down. We must ensure it ends here.

Words fail me as I write this. We, Bishops, Priests and lay people are deeply pained and distressed at the Jaranwala incident in the Faisalabad District in Pakistan. A church building is being burnt as I type this message. Bibles have been desecrated and Christians have been tortured and harrased having been falsely accused of violating the Holy Quran. We cry out for justice and action from law enforcement and those who dispense justice and the safety of all citizens to intervene immediately and assure us that our lives are valuable in our own homeland that has just celebrated independence and freedom. #CryWithUs #PrayWithUs
A rare and captivating sight: camels resting in a secluded mangrove forest near Keti Bundar Indus delta.

London: meet the Superloop, a major expansion of express bus routes in outer London.
The four million extra kilometres of bus services will be a game-changer for travelling around outer London more quickly and easily.

Why South Asian women have a key role in tackling the climate crisis says @EricShahzar for @wef. 💯 the way forward for sub-national, provincial and local stakeholders to combat the aggressive impacts of climate change in the region. weforum.org/agenda/2023/06/h…

Amidst the unprecedented economic crisis, the IMF loan package comes as a much-needed relief. While celebrating may not be appropriate, it's commendable to witness this breakthrough. Great work by the govt. All focus must be on making the economy resilient
