Separatists hijack Pakistan's Jaffar Express, a historic first in railway attacks. With 1,099 terror incidents in 2024, Pakistan ranks 2nd globally in terrorism. The powerless government & puppet regime remain silent, while real elected leaders are out of Parliament. Who’s really in control?

More than 22 million people in Afghanistan, almost half the population, require emergency food aid and other assistance. Why is #Pakistan forcing hundreds of thousands more to go to this humanitarian disaster?

@dubh The centralized-grid model was designed for the 20th century when cheap power meant huge power plants 100s of miles away.
The renewables era demands decentralized localized grids with energy storage. Especially with one climate disaster after another, its the only way to make supply resilient & cheap.
Mass install panels & batteries, no subsidies needed, safeguard quality of life for everyone

@dubh great link, thanks!
echoes what I think is the only way forward: abandon the grid in its current form. Trying to prop-up an outdated and inefficient grid on the backs of one segment of slightly better off households, and using this as a justification for its continued existence is harmful to everyone's interests.

Brilliant #longread detailing an orthodox governments self-defeating response to decreasing agricultural yields and increasing land degradation - build more canals to bring arid deserts into cultivation using american-style intensive corporate farming techniques.

DAWN.COM · Why Sindh’s farmers are up in arms over the Cholistan canal project"On the one hand, fertile farmland is being swallowed up by luxury housing schemes. On the other, farmers are being driven further from their livelihoods. How can we justify this?" questions WWF-P's Hammad Naqi Khan.

As stated above, #Pakistan 's electricity grid is in serious trouble post the #solar revolution on last year (almost 30% of total national demand - 11,000MW - added in #rooftop solar in just 9 months in 2024).
So much so that the government has had to cancel or abandon future power projects, and renegotiate standing contracts with IPPs (Independent Power Producers, or private power companies).

Pakistan emerges from smog season
Tens of millions of Pakistanis spent at least four months breathing toxic air pollution 20 times above safe levels, in the worst winter smog season for several years, according to data analysed by AFP

The Express Tribune · Pakistan emerges from smog season
A surreal video circulating now on social media where a guy standing on the #Belarus border of #Poland says “I want to go to Poland, but they won’t let us”.
As anyone can find online on https://migracje.gov.pl in 2025 alone almost ~1000 people migrated legally to Poland from #Pakistan, ~2000 from #Afghanistan, ~1000 from #Syria etc.
This is just Poland alone (!), so the process does work, the “fortress Europe” is a myth. But this particular guy decided it’s absolutely necessary for him to buy air tickets and visa to Belarus, and then march through the heavily guarded border zone in Belarus only to try to storm the border fence on Polish border? What’s the point?
Well, the whole point is hidden in the small print at the bottom of the video - GPK is Belarus border force, who participates in a coordinated human smuggling business. This video is literally an advertising video of state-sponsored human smugglers who are trying to force another country to accept their customers, thus making their business even more efficient and profitable.
I have been warning both friends and family about this, and advising them to ditch mains grid ASAP & behold:
