This is very sad. Never in my career spanning over 29 years, have I come across such a sorry state of affairs.
Complete bureau of @24NewsHD Peshawar was sacked, services of nine employees were terminated without any reason. More than 500 media workers were sacked in Peshawar in last few months @HamidMirPAK @khattak63 @taahir_khan @WiqasSyed @IKPeshawar
A powerful look at the life and times of Mohamed Morsi, and of Egypt, by two masters, @declanwalsh and @ddknyt. nytimes.com/2019/06/17/world…
Important story right here. Nice work, @Draz_DJ
Pakistan military eyes key role developing giant copper and gold mine. A must read by @Draz_Dj reut.rs/2F5fHSm
No journalist should face criminal charges - no less a treason accusation - for publishing an interview. The targeting of Pakistani journalists by the military, the courts and the government is shameful and must end. Let #cyrilalmeida go back to work. nytimes.com/2018/10/05/world…
The Pashtun rights movement #PTM is gaining huge momentum as it directly confronts the Pakistani Army about extrajudicial killings, and the Pakistani press is being intimidated against covering it. Vital story by @_meher nytimes.com/2018/04/17/world…
Six years after a Taliban gunman shouted "Who is Malala?" on her school bus and shot her, Malala has returned to Pakistan. This time, everyone knows who she is. nytimes.com/2018/03/29/world…
Seems legit. teapaw.org/MujMash/status/9737655…
A powerful history lesson and call for Taliban talks by @BRRubin, who's been there. A compelling, if still desperate, map of potential avenues for appeal. newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
Shocked, and so sad, about the death of @Asma_Jahangir. A giant of conscience.
Ohhhh. No. Goodbye, Ursula LeGuin. A giant. nytimes.com/2018/01/23/obitu…
I'm appalled to hear about the attack on @TahaSSiddiqui. The authorities could stop these assaults, so clearly aimed at muzzling journalism and free speech, and they must. #StopEnforcedDisappearances
“If you tie a Taliban fighter to the trunk of this tree, and then you tell him ISIS is coming, he will run so hard that he will uproot the tree with him.” @MujMash on the state of the fight in eastern Afghanistan -- and it's not pretty. nytimes.com/2017/12/25/world…

Our latest: lack of progress towards an election delayed by 2 years already (& most certain to be delayed again) is putting @ashrafghani & his Western allies in a tough spot with growing opposition. nytimes.com/2017/12/12/world…
Pakistan sacrifices its law minister to an extremist protest movement that held the capital hostage for weeks, and the army helps it all go down easy. Who's in charge here, again? nytimes.com/2017/11/27/world…
It's an annual siege, but this is the worst in memory: Lahore's toxic pollution has residents demanding answers. “Half the time, I’m scared to breathe in.” nytimes.com/2017/11/10/world…
This is how you know the difference between Trump speeches for domestic and foreign audiences. Tough, otherwise.
It just turned into a shooting war between Iraq and Kurds -- the #Kirkuk assault is on. nytimes.com/2017/10/15/world…
In Rohingya camps, @bcsolomon gives staggering account of desperation. More than half who'd lived in Myanmar fled. nytimes.com/2017/09/29/world…
500,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh - more than the worst month of Syria. They are suffering on a vast scale. nytimes.com/2017/09/29/world…
