  • CASS International Webinar Press Release “FUTURE of AFGHANISTAN: IMPLICATIONS and OPTIONS for PAKISTAN”
    CASS International Webinar Press Release “FUTURE OF AFGHANISTAN: IMPLICATIONS AND OPTIONS FOR PAKISTAN” Neighboring countries must help Afghanistan reach an “Afghan-led” power-sharing arrangement and become “partners in peace.” There should be a financial commitment to support Afghanistan by the US and its allies as it struggles to stand on its own feet. Pak-Afghan cooperation can turn the region into a zone of opportunity, trade, commerce, and transit. 26 May 2021 These were some of major conclusions of the international webinar on “Future of Afghanistan: Implications and Options for Pakistan”, organised by the Centre for Aerospace & Security Studies (CASS) here in Islamabad. Speakers from the United States (US), Afghanistan and Pakistan critically evaluated the emerging complex dynamics within Afghanistan and their likely impact on Pakistan’s politics, security, and economy. They helped identify timely policy measures that need to be considered by the relevant stakeholders to deal with the evolving situation on Pakistan’s western borders. In his Introductory Remarks, Syed Muhammad Ali, Director, Nuclear and Strategic Affairs at CASS and webinar moderator, said that the international community, regional powers, and Afghan stakeholders would have to learn from the bitter and costly conflict history and in the shared interest of regional peace and security, work together to prevent continuation or further escalation and expansion of conflict in Afghanistan and its adverse consequences for South, West and Central Asia. Offering his insight on the US’ withdrawal plan, Prof. Dr Marvin G. Weinbaum, Director at the Afghanistan and Pakistan Studies, Middle East Institute, Washington, D.C, observed that there was no longer any possibility of a negotiated peace in Afghanistan following the US announcement.

  • Recalibrating U.S.–Pakistan Relations
    Haider Ali Hussein Mullick Recalibrating U.S.—Pakistan Relations Afghanistan is America’s longest war. Thousands of U.S. troops and those from nearly 50 other countries have fought in Afghanistan against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces, but it was in nuclear-armed Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was killed, Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (the mastermind of 9/11) was captured, and Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar as well as the heads of the virulent Haqqani network reside. Pakistan’s duplicity is a fact, yet it is often excessively characterized as a function of the India—Pakistan rivalry. Pakistani generals do fear India, but they have also recognized the threat from domestic insurgents. The height of this concern was reached in 2009, when the Pakistani Taliban were 60 miles from the country’s capital and jeopardized U.S. as well as Pakistani goals in the region: interdicting al-Qaeda, protecting Pakistani nuclear weapons, and stabilizing (and in Pakistan’s case, an anti-India) Afghanistan. At that point, Pakistani troops, unlike past attempts, fought back and prevailed against the insurgents. It can be done. Pakistan’s remarkable counterinsurgency turnaround since 2009 was one of few net gains for the United States. A mix of bullying and bribing since 2001 on the part of Washington has failed to change Islamabad’s double dealing, but the relative success of the Pakistani counterinsurgency since 2009Ñresulting in part Downloaded by [Columbia University] at 20:31 26 July 2012 from training and equipment provided by the United StatesÑoffers important opportunities for the U.S.—Pakistan partnership. First, it increases American leverage.

  • Policy Makers Lament Women's Vulnerablity to HIV Infection, Yet For
    150 Oxfam Briefing Paper 26 July 2011X Ready or Not Pakistan’s resilience to disasters one year on from the floods www.oxfam.org Farzana Bibi puts furniture on a platform as she is worried floods will soon reach her village, Khan Chandi, Southern Punjab. ©Caroline Gluck, June 2011. The floods that hit Pakistan in 2010 were the worst in the country’s history. The humanitarian response achieved remarkable successes in minimising the immediate loss of life and providing relief to millions of people. However, it could have been better: more than 800,000 families remain without permanent shelter and more than a million people remain in need of food assistance. These unmet needs must be addressed as a matter of urgency. As Pakistan faces another monsoon season and the likelihood of more disasters, the country is not prepared. Many factors which have hampered the relief and reconstruction effort are still present, such as an inadequate disaster management system and a lack of emergency relief co-ordination and leadership. These institutional challenges must be resolved as soon as possible. The government and donors need to invest heavily in measures to reduce disaster risks such as better early warning systems, flood control, and more resilient housing. They should also tackle the underlying social inequalities which leave people vulnerable to disasters through a pro-poor national development plan. Spending on risk reduction and preparedness not only saves lives and livelihoods but hugely reduces the economic impact of disasters. Extent of the
