  • Beautiful, Eloquent, Passionate Benazir Bhutto, Once Pakistan's
    14/05/2015 Fall of Queen Bibi: From the hope of a nation to money­launderer | The Times Fall of Queen Bibi: From the hope of a nation to money­launderer by Burhan Wazir Published at 12:00AM, August 7 2003 Beautiful, eloquent, passionate ­ Benazir Bhutto, once Pakistan’s great political hope, has been convicted of money­laundering MOHTARMA BENAZIR BHUTTO, or Bibi as she is affectionately known in Pakistan, has been feeling homesick for some time. Two weeks ago, at a party in Dubai to celebrate her 50th birthday, the exiled former Prime Minister chose to honour the occasion with a self­penned poem. The nine pages of closely typed print, written as a commemorative account of both past achievements and unfolding glories, make for enlightening reading. Recalling Pakistan, a country now governed by General Pervez Musharraf, she writes: My spirit is in one place My body in another My mind torn asunder The Elections were so Unfair Made of Broken Promises Billions spent in marketing A dictatorship as a democracy. The words appear to indicate an arrogant conceit; as if Bhutto feels she was destined to lead her country for ever. Or perhaps, having been in exile now for four years, she simply has too much time on her hands. Later, however, she writes as if dreaming of a return: We will raise buildings Where there are deserts And stop the weeping of the women of the land. Cry not. For Bhutto, a return to Pakistan must now seem more distant a prospect than ever. On Tuesday an investigating magistrate in Switzerland found Bhutto and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, guilty of money­laundering.

He appreciated Zubair Ahmed Kasuri and his team’s efforts in compiling the book in order to make those understand who think that she had taken away the chance of democracy with her.

    University of Reading Pakistan’s Alliance Making with People’s Republic of China From 1990-2010: Challenges and Counter-Measures Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics and International Relations Safdar Hussain April 2018 Abstract This empirical research sets out to explore the complex domestic dynamics that shape Pakistan’s contemporary alliance making with China. The study examines the actual and potential domestic political challenges to the endurance of Pakistan-China alliance. The research also aims to assess Pakistani security elites’ efforts and strategies to overcome those challenges. The leading approaches in international politics that seek to explain the logic of external alliances – Realism, Liberalism, and Constructivism – do not elucidate Pakistan-China alliance in depth. While there is an inordinate amount of literature concerning the Pakistan-China relations, the literature on maintenance of this alliance is relatively scarce. Besides, scholars have neglected the way in which Pakistan has promoted its alliance with China domestically. This work aims to fill this gap in the literature. Interpreting from the perspective of Security Elite Domestic Propaganda and International Alliance (SEPIA), this study will show that while the alliance with China is essential for Pakistan to contain the military threat posed by India, such an alliance meets with overt challenges from the Pakistani society. Specifically, the Pakistani popular support for Uighur separatism and terrorist attacks against Chinese targets confront the Pakistani security elites with the need to promote the alliance on the domestic level through a robust propaganda campaign. This study, therefore, evaluates the propaganda strategies of the security elites to cultivate the Chinese alliance within the national society.
