Asim Munir should at least release Imran Khan for a day to make a speech reflecting
#Pakistan
's (and the wider Ummah's) sentiments on

At the moment, all we have is

talk of "restraint from all parties" and Bin Salman "monitoring the unprecedented situation".
The most powerful force in
#Pakistan
is not the army; it is the people. Ordinary Pakistanis are so powerful that Establishment has spent more than a year trying to engineer election results, and still failed.
If Pakistanis believe they are powerful, they can rescue their votes.
Allahu Akbar!

This will be celebrated in the Muslim World for whom Imran Khan was an influential advocate, and who used his premiership to push the Muslim issues being abandoned by others

"As another attempt to arrest

Iran's attack on Israel yesterday did demonstrate one thing:
It is not just America that protects Israel, but also the Arab states. Iran seems to have reached Tel Aviv directly despite not just the Iron Dome, but also the 'Arab Dome'.
Quite a statement in this regard.
Please... To everyone in
#Pakistan
! Protect your votes. The rigging happens when they kick out the observers from the polling stations before announcing the results!
The establishment in
#Pakistan
believe
#ImranKhan
will win the next elections.
The establishment in Pakistan believe the people's will is to deliver Imran Khan back to power.
So, the establishment are scrambling to arrest, silence, and exclude him before holding any 'elections'

Let no one ever say the Egyptian army is a 'powerful' army. A genocide is happening right across the border, and they are powerless to do anything (even force the delivery of aid).

The released hostage pleasantly shakes hands with her captors as she is handed over to the Red Cross.
Israel's PR team will panic at the pleasant exchange and is probably already scrambling to prepare a new round of fake news for journalists to give wall-to-wall coverage to.
Bin Salman is in a catch-22 dilemma. He did not cancel a single concert or party in solidarity with Gaza. So if he cancels his parties in condolence for Kuwait over the death of their Emir, it suggests he doesn't care about Gaza; and if he doesn't cancel, he offends all of Kuwait
What is extraordinary about Biden/Sunak strikes on
#Yemen
is that it proves that
#Israel
's first line of defence is actually the Gulf states from which the planes took off.
The Iron Dome was compromised, but the 'Arab Dome' remains firm in protecting Israel's genocide of Gaza.
Establishment is now scrambling to rescue their plans for an engineered result from an overwhelming turnout. It is now clear: establishment versus the people. A final showdown. Will Establishment succeed in imposing a result? Or will Pakistanis stand firm and protect their vote?
