  • Why Karachi Burns Again and Again \226 the Express Tribune
    Why Karachi burns again and again – The Express Tribune http://tribune.com.pk/story/361617/why-karachi-burns-again-and-again/ Daily Express The Express Tribune Urdu E-Paper English E-Paper Watch Express News Live Sunday, 26 Jan 2014 Subscribe Why Karachi burns again and again Those who breed like flies die like flies. By Pervez Hoodbhoy Published: April 8, 2012 Orgies of blood-letting bring Karachi to a grinding halt from time to time. The first three months of the present year have seen 300 violent killings; the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan estimates the 2011 toll at 1,715, which averages to 33 per week. Whether prompted by the crash of a rashly-driven bus, long periods of loadshedding, or a political murder, a horde of homicidal maniacs suddenly descends from apparently nowhere to fill the streets. AK-47s chatter away. Then a sudden quiet follows. Life returns to normal — until the next time. What turned an idyllically clean and peaceful city of earlier decades — one that I grew up in and loved — into today’s hell-hole? Is there even a remote possibility that Karachi can once again give safety, security, and a wholesome existence to the majority of its people? Perhaps the science of behaviour just might help us understand what went wrong. Finding solutions is, however, a different matter. Scientists who study fish habits say cramped aquarium conditions hugely increase fish-on-fish violence. When the tanks are large enough, or the fish few enough, the inhabitants are perfectly peaceful; the fish flutter their eyes as they sweetly swim past each other.

    CPEC-Centre of Excellence is going "great guns" Yasir Masood and Sophia Mansoori CPEC-Center of Excellence is committed to democratic process and is open to accountability. Being a think tank that it is dedicated to sound research and progress, we believe no research ever runs out of a margin to improve and thus grow. However, any investigation process, be it academic or journalistic in nature demands spirit of fairness. Hereby, we would take the opportunity to highlight some of the achievements of Center in merely 10 months' time since its inauguration in March 2017 in response to the news story published in The Express Tribune on January 3, 2018. In the published story, the reporter has tried to twist certain facts in a nonprofessional manner which has waned away the reality. For instance; let's take research thematic areas of the centre which are well functional under the supervision of foreign qualified and experienced scholars who have their dedicated expertise in the relevant sectors in Pakistan and abroad. The published report ridiculously undermines the importance of Round Table Conferences (RTCs) which works as a centrifugal force in widening the horizon of research as a primary source of oozing out the inputs for a specific area from the academicians, researchers, policy practitioners and renowned scholars. In the same vein, four collaborative conferences have been conducted throughout the country in partnership with reputed universities, think tanks, and local/international, public and private institutions. In addition, four more conferences are planned and will be accomplished by April 2018. - which are available on the Centre's website i.e.
