Not sure what to make of Sharif, good he’s still committed to BRI. Sounds like Khan still has popular support.
Could I get a summary of what’s been happening in Pakistan?
For the last couple weeks I’ve been very busy watching cat videos doing stuff.
Sounds like there is new Sheriff in town :shrek-troll:
The US coup thing is most likely completely made up. Khan’s government handed over complete control of the state Bank and economy to the IMF, his government was sponsored by sugar Barron’s and did nothing but give subsidies to real estate developers to make more gated communities. Inflation has been out of control the past few years. He was just extremely unpopular. Not only that, his government has been coddling right wing fringe groups and making deals and concessions with them for years as well as disappearing journalists and making thousands homeless by demolishing houses of the most vulnerable people because they were deemed as ‘encroachments’. The US had nothing to gain by removing him. It’s a lot more likely that the boots who brought him to power in the first place had a change of heart and egged on the opposition to call the vote
The prime minister-elect Sharif also stressed the need for better relations with the United States and India.
mm hmm
