This is how the Pakistani state - and parties like PPP - responds to progressives who speak the language of peace. They criminalise us because we resist the politics of hate while giving free license to those who weaponise religion. #SindhRawadariMarch

Awesome victory for student movement in #Bangladesh against #SheikhHasina but there can be no cheering generals taking over in the name of 'restoring peace'. To Pakistanis who are celebrating: pay attention to Baloch, Pashtun & other youth struggling against Khaki Raj at home.

‘In the colonies it is policeman & soldier who are the official, instituted go-between for the rule of oppression. They “advise” the native by means of rifle butts & napalm. They only speak the language of pure force.’ ~Frantz Fanon #GwadarIsUnderSiege

They fire on peaceful protestors in #Bannu because they care only about 'strategic depth'. All Pashtuns/oppressed nations demand accountability for the death, destruction & disappearances perpetrated by the military establishment, Taliban & imperialism.

Only hours after #GilamanWazir tragically passed due to a state-sponsored attack, Balochistan police attack & arrest peaceful women protesting enforced disappearances. They deliberately torch the peripheries & criminalise all dissent so that the politics of hate keeps thriving.

The youth who burned a man alive in #Swat by invoking blasphemy are not a fringe element in society. The weaponisation of Islam by the khakis & bourgeois/religious parties is a ticking time bomb that can only be defused by the unity of oppressed peoples.

They go on endlessly about the ‘sovereignty of the nation’ but make #Budget2024 at IMF behest so they can take even more loans, pillage everything & live like kings while literally starving the masses to death. A militarised banana republic like no other.
