Great trend. A prolonged period of current account surplus is the foundation for sustainable growth.

But hey we changed our Facebook profile pics to condemn France right! I am sure France will take heed to what we have to say in the future now!

I understand what you mean brother but as my in-laws are Arabs (hence my rudimentary Arabic) they can understand the P. For example sure Pepsi is bebzi in the Arab world but if a foreigner says Pepsi to an Arab he/she will know they are talking about the fizzy drink they know as bebzi. SImilarly...

Not buying that. India and a whole host of other countries have much higher Covid-19 rates yet they are not on the list. Its political. Morocco has 4-5 times higher Covid rate than Algeria yet is not on the list.

Normally I would agree but given the state of the global economy any growth is very welcome news. As per the World Bank the global economy will contract at least 5% this year so overall very good news imo.

Absolutely. It's one thing for a foreigner to mispronounce your country's name but a native intentionally mispronouncing is cringe imo.

Thanks for clarifying. I was driving when listening to this and from my rudimental Arabic I figured out he was clearly stating the opinion of the Pakistani state i.e. there will be no political, economic, cultural etc trade ties with Israel till the Palestinians are given their state. Was gonna...

Incidents like these should be highlighted as much as possible at the UN and other international bodies. Sure not much will happen directly but it does shape a narrative and image gradually.

Seems to be a step taken before grandting GB provincial status. India will certainly declare the UN resolutions of the 50s and 60s null and void if we change the legal status of territories formerly part of the princely state. However the Right of Self Determination is universal and is very much...

Sorry for your loss brother إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ‎

Thread closed for obvious reasons. Warnings will be issued to all sides. What a mess!

DIfferent answer for different time periods of Pakistani history but there are also some constant factors which have left us behind. Firstly we can go through the year specific reasons: 1) War years (65 and 71) where the decline is understandable. 2) Natural disasters (2005 Kashmir earthquake...

Incredibly ironic given the rhetoric from New Delhi over the past several years. Whilst the increased exports will be spun as a success story domestically, increased trade reliance on what New Delhi apparently considers a hostile state has to be a negative for the Modi government.

Well said. There are conservatives and liberals who are/have been anti-Pakistan and then there are those who are pro-Pakistan. A preeminent scholar like Hussain Ahmed Madani pops into my mind when I think of conservatives who were against Pakistan during the time when we needed Muslims to unite...

Not surprising. Morocco is another Arab nation close to the Saudis. The end goal seems to be to get as many Arab nations to recognize Israel as possible and then Riyadh will follow. That way MBS cannot be blamed for leading.

Not an advocate of sacking OGS right now either. I am content with his performance given the circumstances in which he inherited his role, and overall feel that he has instilled a new optimism in United fans that was fading away following the Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho eras. For me a mutually...

We dont deserve to be in the CL as things stand, simple as. 1) Average Manager: As a United legend I love Ole to bits but it is clear he is out of his depth as manager of a club of Uniteds standard. There are certainly positives with his time in charge and I feel he has directed the club back...

"Saudi demand that Al-Jazeera stop ""undermining"" and ""campaigning"" against the desert kingdom " Wonder what this means exactly. No coverage on Khashoggi e.g.?

Im generally pro-VAR (the idea behind it) but the implementation has been horrendous. They really need to broadcast the decision making process live and get rid of silly rules like a strikers hand causing offsides (was he gonna score with his hand?). More importantly "clear and obvious" needs to...

Used my free hit last round. The list of injured players was only growing larger (Van Dijk, Pope etc). Willian was also a big disappointment so got rid of him. Im sure you are having a very anti-VAR week given the farcical decisions over the weekend :lol: The Villa goal being denied is the...
