Pakistan PM #ShahbazSharif statement

Good morning from #Islamabad

Some Trump officials privately acknowledge that the president’s public commentary has been detrimental to talks, noting the sensitivity of the negotiations and the Iranians’ deep mistrust of the US. #IslamabadTalks www.cnn.com/2026/04/20/p...

The noise is loud, but the real story is quiet: Pakistan is hosting, facilitating, and sustaining one of the most sensitive negotiations today. Watch actions, not rhetoric. #Pakistan #Mediator #IslamabadTalks stratheia.com/pakistans-ed...

The head of Iran’s judiciary Gholan-Hussein Mohseni Ejei says the possibility of the US resuming its attacks is not negligible and that the country must be fully prepared. 🔴 Follow aljazeera.com for more

RT: @nusratjaveed.bsky.social : Best case scenario…so far…extension in ceasefire? #IranUS

No one’s in #Islamabad yet 🤷🏽‍♀️

On the day vice president JD Vance is arriving #Islamabad for 2nd round of peace talks,reaching just on the day the ceasefire is ending. #Iran is expected 2 join the negotiations under trumps threats of bombing Iran , “ending a civilisation”,while us Islamabadis still clueless in almost a lockdown

We need to make it active somehow. The app “x” we are using is a delusion, we think it’s Twitter but it’s really useless app now.

Twitter has become an irrelevant reels platform so I am back here

اگر آپ ریاست کی دہشت گردی سے متعلق پالیسیوں، حقائق اور احتساب کا ذکر کیے بغیر صرف دہشت گردی کا مسئلہ اٹھاتے رہیں گے، تو آپ کے ارادے سنجیدہ نہیں ہیں۔ #TruthCommission

Musarat Aziz,a pioneering Urdu-speaking human rights activist from Zhob district,dedicated her life to advocating for women's rights in our deeply patriarchal society.Tragically,she was brutally murdered by her own brother,Atiq Aziz,under the guise of"honor,"a heinous crime that must be condemned.

I report on the worsening humanitarian situation in #Parachinar. The mostly Shi’ite city in northwestern #Pakistan has been cut off from the rest of the Sunni-majority country because of deadly sectarian clashes that have seen hundreds killed this year. www.rferl.org/a/pakistan-s...

Protest tomorrow at #Islamabad Pressclub at 4 pm #Parachinar #Kurram

Yesterday I watched @nusratjaveed.bsky.social show and he very brilliantly directed the current political situation towards a modern-day #RawalpindiConspiricy case. Google Pindi conspiracy to know more.

Imagine if they succeed,it’ll be such a huge win against not only violence but a state / govt/ military that couldn’t protect them for decades. A state that only increased violence with its failed violent policies in the name of security. Wishing Pashtun national jirga a success in #PeaceForKurram

Kurram updates: Today Pashtun National Jirga committee headed by Mufti Kifayatullah, Malik Naseer Afridi and other leaders with a large group of people left for Kurram to formally resolve the issue of #Kurram #Parachinar. Both Shia&Sunni were looking forward to welcome them with a glim of hope BUT..

Basics: The Indus Civilization was contemporary with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, but geographically larger and probably more populous. It was the first time that ancient Indians built cities. These people even had indoor bathrooms. In brief -- It was a remarkable ancient civilization.

There's a crop of articles recently on the Indus Civilization -- ancient India's first urbanization c. 2700 – 1900 BCE. The issue -- What do we call it? I delved into this issue recently for my book (out in June); here is what you need to know. #THREAD 🧵 #India #history #IndusCivilization

The people sending me texts from the 1800s, claiming Pashtuns have always been engaged in beheadings and wars, should also reflect on the histories of other ethnicities during that time. All societies had periods of violence, but most were given the opportunity to evolve.

Mobile network back in #Kurram after 10 consecutive days of no network at all, roads still blocked, more than 126 people have been killed, more than 200 injured, clashes still going on in 5 different areas of Kurram. Media shud get in touch with ppl there now plz. #SaveKurram

Good morning from happy choochu at f-9 park #Islamabad

Looks like the government of Pakistan is on a shutter down strike against Imran khan and PTI. Not the other way around :p

Anyway good morning from tear-gassed #Islamabad

Any update on pti situation?

Nawaz as Establishment's puppet #CM Punjab started anti Federation violence in 1988, #ImranKhan , another puppet of Est., has taken it to next level. Alhamadolillah Shehbaz as CM was not less than #CM #KP of today Shortsighted visionless people have ruined #Pakistan

At least it doesn’t come forcefully on our timelines and we have to search it to see it.

PTI is a violent mob that injured police 10 years ago and injured police today. They’ve made you believe that it’s extremism to call them a terrorist organisation 🤷🏽‍♀️

The circus in Pakistan is not the finale but another season of circus started in 2011. #LuckyImraniCircus

Living in Islamabad fearing chaos any moment , I go back to X only to realise again that it’s a dark dark space specially since Bushra bibi is out. New trolls are out there using abusive language in response to any and every tweet. I come back here to breathe

My interview w/ the Associated Press on #PlasticTreaty: We're way past time for addressing this problem. We are not at a sustainable level of production of plastics. Production is mounting, in the last 19 years we've doubled the amount of plastic we've produced. apnews.com/video/pollut...

Normalize telling people their website looks outdated because it’s missing their bluesky link. 💙

“There are talks going on at the moment,” says PTI leader Zulfi Bokhari when I asked him if his party was in negotiations with the government. He, however, didn’t any provide any details, saying they have a three-point agenda and Imran Khan’s release is their top priority.

I'll be honest, I've still not gotten used to how normal the Bluesky feed is. Every time it loads my brains thinks it's Twitter and I am expecting a wall of toxic, rage baiting posts.

The PTI rally that just reached Islamabad is quite huge 🤦🏽‍♀️ May there be peace ahead but it doesn’t seem very likely :(

Here’s is a summary of why we are what we are thewayward.com.pk/pakistans-ci... #Pakistan

💔

If you guys have not read Imran Khan - the myth of the Pakistani middle class by @nfparacha.bsky.social , I highly recommend it. Besides brilliantly explaining the philosophy of what this particular mindset is, there are some things about Imran khan that people should know. Please find it & read it.

Today is the fourth day of lockdown in the Pakistani capital, #Islamabad, to block protests by #PTI. The government shut down the internet, blocked highways and brought in troops to prevent supporters of former PM Imran Khan from entering. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
