Pakistan Political Situation
December 20th, 2008
The times for Pakistan are not good at all, it’s a pressure cooker situation:
- India blamed “elements in Pakistan” for being behind the 60-hour siege that ended on November 28, dragging two nuclear-armed South Asian rivals to the very edge.
- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saying “Well, I think there’s no doubt that Pakistani territory was used by probably non-state actors,” and “I don’t think that there is compelling evidence of involvement of Pakistani officials. But I do think that Pakistan has a responsibility to act, and it doesn’t matter that they’re non-state actors.”
- In spite of winters coming down fast in north, Taliban and their allies are still acting vigorously, attacking people and govt. assets.
- In the 2007-2008 fiscal year, Pakistan observed a significant decrease of 37.2% in its overall foreign investment. Foreign public portfolio investment declined by around 97% to $16.8 million against $653.4 million recorded in corresponding period of the last fiscal.
- Thousands of billions of dollars of foreign loan to pay.
It’s a never ending list, question is what’s the solution???? Is there any?
