Pakistan started #NewYear2023 under the fog of intense rumors that the Establishment can bring in a govt of technocrats to take unpopular economic decisions to stave off default and to help parties in ruling coalition avoid losing popularity. /1

#Pakistan's boldest experiment in technocratic govt was probably Establishment-backed #ImranKhan's 2019-2022 tenure, where every economic theory and bizarre foreign policy notion popular among Pakistanis were tested, with spectacular failure. /2
Instead of hiding behind a possible technocratic setup, the political leaders, parties, and Establishment can consider the inevitable: Taking on the unpopular decisions, in economy+governance+foreign policy.
Own it instead of brushing it under a technocratic govt. /3

Instead of creating employment for locals—hardly any local has been employed on the Chinese-funded projects—the Chinese influx has actually deprived them of even their traditional livelihoods. 1/3

Fishing was the main occupation in Gwadar. But after the Chinese moved in and built the port and supporting infrastructure, the access to sea has been restricted for many fishermen. 2/3

The presence of Chinese trawlers in the waters around Gwadar and rest of the coast has depleted the fish stocks, threatening the traditional fishing communities of #Gwadar.3/3

2- The primary members’ organizations included Balochistan Liberation Front, Baloch Liberation Army, Baloch Republication Guard, and Baloch Republican Army.

Amid rising anti-#US+#EU rhetoric in #Pakistan post-#Ukraine invasion & PM's #Russia visit, it is important to refocus on rising terror incidents in the country and the linkages to #Afghanistan #Iran and #India and the easily exploitable local actors. /1
The waves of organized terrorism in Pakistan since 1980s and through 2000s have been linked to elements in #Afghanistan. It accelerated with the #India-#Iran nexus in that country. Made easier by local extremism, easy & gullible Pakistani recruits, and regional sponsors. /2
#Peshawar mosque carnage targeting Pakistani Shia Muslims is particularly worth a closer look. It indirectly targeted the #Australia cricket team visit after 23 yrs and tried to revive sectarian conflict. Both objectives have wider linkages to #India #Iran #Afghanistan /3

Why are people in #Pakistan's Gwadar protesting against the Chinese? Here is what we know
#Gwadar in Pakistan, where a port is being developed by #China, has become the centre of a massive, resolute protest against Chinese presence in the country.

Pakistan’daki limanda Çin üssü mü kurulacak?
Çin-Pakistan Ekonomik Koridorunun en önemli noktası olan Gwadar Limanı, iki ülke ilişkilerini her alanda olumlu etkileyecek. Ancak bu limanda ‘bir Çin işi’ olabilir. Peki bu ne demek?

Çin ile Pakistan arasındaki ilişkiler, ekonomik iş birliğin üzerine çıkarak askeri iş birliğiyle farklı bir boyuta evrildi. Açıkçası bu yeni de değil. Pakistan, her ne kadar #Çin ile yakın ilişkilere sahip olsa da yıllarca şöyle bir denklem vardı.
Hindistan-Pakistan geriliminde tarafları silahlandıran ülkeler farklıydı. Hindistan’ı Ruslar, Pakistan’ı ise Amerikalılar. Pakistan’ın aynı zamanda Çin ile iyi ilişkiler kurmasının sebebi, “düşmanımın düşmanı dostumdur” düşüncesiydi.
12 bin kişilik özel güç ile korunan Pakistan-Çin Koridoru…
Doğu Türkistan’ın Kaşgar bölgesinden başlayan ve#Pakistan’ın Gwadar Limanı’na kadar devam eden Çin-Pakistan Ekonomik Koridoru (CPEC).
Doğu Türkistan’ın Kaşgar bölgesinden başlayan ve#Pakistan’ın Gwadar Limanı’na kadar devam eden Çin-Pakistan Ekonomik Koridoru (CPEC).
Pakistanlı yetkililere göre sadece koridorun güvenliğini, polis ve askerlerin dışında özel olarak kurulan 12 bin kişilik özel bir güç sağlayacak. Normal karşılanmalı çünkü 47 milyar dolar ile başlayan yatırımlar 2018'de 63 milyar dolara yükselirken,
2030 bu sayının 100 milyar dolara ulaşacağı düşünülüyor. 2030’da tamamen bitmesi beklenen proje ile yaklaşık 2.5 milyon kişiye iş olanağı da sağlanmış olacak. Anlayacağınız proje, Pakistan ekonomisi için hayati öneme sahip.
#Chabahar port in #Iran, with #India's investment, is a strange story. President #Trump reluctantly excluded it from #US sanctions, and it is the only #Indian-run port #Pakistan signed a sister-city agreement with. Some interesting updates. /1
The massacre of 11 miners in #Balochistan is more of a 'strategic act' than sectarianism. Terrorism in Balochistan cannot be completely controlled without addressing the wider roles of #India & #Iran in #Afghanistan. /1

Many analysts see #hazaragenocide & #Shiagenocide in #Balochistan as part of a local sectarianism problem inside #Pakistan or regionally linked to #Iran & #KSA tussle. But it could have more to do with #Afghanistan than Pakistan or the #Gulf. /2
To understand why #Balochistan incident (incl #Hazara/#Shia attacks) may not necessarily be sectarianism and more an offshoot of a bigger strategic problem, consider this #Ashura attack in #Karachi, which was not sectarian: /3

#CPEC is the backbone of #Pakistan's Grand Strategy. Enemies are keen to foment trouble in #Balochistan to sabotage the project.
A hike in terror attacks has been witnessed in the past months in Balochistan especially in areas in proximity to #Gwadar which is part of #Sabotage.
