Munir Akram to replace Maleeha Lodhi as Pakistan's envoy to UN

[TNT]

Now we are talking.


In this new geopolitical landscape, Pakistan need hawks in every power corridor of the state.

Thanks for your services Maliha. Hope she is accommodated elsewhere.

Hawks are never good diplomats or decision makers. Hawkish diplomats are hawks by nature and have hate and aggression for things and circumstances. These can usually blind them from making smart decisions. Hawks have infact ruined countries. See how hawks with bush led him to war, saudi is the new example. Also see where hawks will lead india.
States should not react like individuals because it comprises a whole nation of diverse ideologies. See how emotion less and silent chinese diplomats are, yet they get their message clearly across. Hawks are also not taken much seriously.
Also diplomats are regularly changed throughout their career so she definitely will get a good post unless she retired.

He beat up his gf and she called the police. The nareative was changed by her later and she didnt press any charges but the city council did.. Munir akram had diplomatic immunity and thts wht deterred aggressive follow up of the case..
This is why he was replaced and precisely why maleeha lodhi was not changed and temporary retained in last shuffling of ambassadors. The heat has subsided now

Yes his 'stupidity' was to not bow down to Zardari's stupid demand of him asking UN to investigate Benazir's assassination!

I cant say for other nations, but when this country of ours was dominated by hawks, we had peace and we fought our wars far away from our borders. Then came the liberals, enlightened ones, and we end up with 70k dead and wars was brought inside our homes.

Give me hawks anyday and I will take them.

Maleeha Lodhi was made a scapegoat for Pakistan's underwhelming performance at UN. It's not really her fault. Plus, she was a holdover from the previous regime. The decision was an easy one. Whether Munir Akram can do any better is anybody's guess.

She was in her position forever, time to go this old garbage, she damaged Pakistan internally a lot at US foreign office on Indian media diplomacy and always given Indian media journalist prearranged listed agenda and grab a lot of kickbacks from them. She was spotted inside of Indian high commission many time and dismissed previously from her job because of this reason. But this time she caught by IK on the prearranged question on Iran and Saudi war asked by her planted journalist Q&A session during IK conference call. watch that conference you'll see how well she planted on Indian agenda. ...PML(n) all prompted people in gov are crooked and somehow connected with Indian lobby against of Pakistan.

She may be good in PR, but she fail to perform during Kashmir issue. She served on this seat for very long, usually countries avoid to appoint anyone for such a very long period of time.

She was at this post for such a long time because she knows the right people in Islamabad. No doubt she will find another cozy assignment. People like her never leave voluntarily.

Agreed. She knew people in Islamabad.

As they say, "Its not about what you know, its about who you know"

I reckon this guy would have been a better fit.

If that is the case than the detractors will love his appointment.
