A shift in geopolitical dynamics

Crisis at the door
When disaster strikes, the immediate images of destruction—torrential waters, collapsed homes, and flooded fields—dominate the news cycle. Yet, for millions around the globe, the crisis doesn't recede when the waters do. In regions recently ravaged by ext…
Pakistan’s Battle for Breath
Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, Prof Ahsan Iqbal’s recent declaration—that Pakistan is facing a “toxic air crisis,” a “battle for survival,” and a “national health emergency”—is not hyperbole; it is a long-overdue state…
Responsibility
Plastic pollution is a global crisis that demands a systemic and collaborative response. While the visible waste—plastic bags snagged on trees, bottles bobbing in the ocean—is a stark reminder of the problem, the true issue is far more deeply rooted in ou…
‘Strong, Durable Peace’?
A ray of hope has appeared in Gaza following two years of ceaseless bombardment and killing. US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for peace in Gaza began Thursday with the signing of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and Hama…

A Calculated Move
Many, including Israel, were caught off guard by Hamas's reaction to US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for peace in Gaza.  The Palestinian faction has made a calculated decision by agreeing to a number of the plan's main components, such as a…
A dangerous epidemic
The deluge in Pakistan, a grim annual ritual of the monsoon season, has once again laid bare the nation's vulnerability. But this year, as in others past, the tragedy is compounded by a silent, invisible threat: a public health crisis that is spreading wi…
An Inseparable Fight
Air pollution and climate change are often discussed as separate environmental crises, each demanding unique solutions. Yet, this approach fundamentally misunderstands the challenge. These are not two battles; they are two fronts in a single, existential …
