We are a thankless nation, following corrupt politicians who would sell their own mothers for a few bucks.

A US Army Lieutenant, a colleague whereas was a bit upset for being assigned to Afghanistan, but at the same time also cheerful when she announced that the $ 5K (her pay) she would be getting while at Afg would be totally TAX-FREE, that is to say, net income almost equal to gross pay!

I was in Karachi on that shameful day. I saw scenes of Pakistan Army soldiers humiliated in Paltan Maidan Dacca and the coward Niazi sharing jokes with his captors. These scenes were omitted from the later broadcasts; having typical Ostrich mentality; mob gathered round the PTV office threatening to storm the building if these were repeated.

Despite all insult inflicted upon the country, it appears that we have learnt nothing from the past mistakes. I am of the opinion that uncensored scenes should be televised on every 16th December as a wake up call to the nation that Pakistan should come ‘First’ and foremost and above their personal interests. But who cares about old men like me.

Gen Sharif’s Beijing trip reinforces Sino-Pakistani ties

Pakistan Army chief General Raheel Sharif travelled to Beijing to reinforce the country’s close ties with China on 25 January: a visit that coincided with US President Barack Obama’s two-day trip to India.

Although there was no official comment on the timing of Gen Sharif’s visit, senior Pakistani officials said Pakistan’s armed forces intended to send a message to the United States and India. “Any US tilt towards India remains a matter of concern for us. Both China and Pakistan have the right to protect our interests,” said one senior government official.

Pakistani officials said Beijing and Islamabad had noted Obama’s statement in Delhi that “India and the US are not just natural partners. I believe America can be India’s best partner”. In particular, the potential expansion of US support for India’s civil-nuclear programme evoked strong criticism.

“Even if the Americans employ many safeguards [surrounding civil nuclear reactors] in their dealings with India, there are risks for Pakistan,” said the government official, adding that India’s growing reliance on US nuclear technology “in all probability will free up more nuclear material for use in India’s [nuclear] weapons programme”.

At the same time Pakistani officials expressed dismay over reports that the US could support India in case its bid for permanent membership of the US Security Council gathers momentum.

Analysis
A senior Western defence official in Islamabad told IHS Jane’s, “Pakistan wants to keep on reminding the world that it remains a close friend and partner of China. That’s the message General Sharif has given with his recent trip [to China].”

Pakistani officials also believe closer US ties with India will only annoy China and feed into the widely held view that Washington is seeking regional allies as part of a containment strategy.

While Pakistan’s armed forces rely on the West – and the United States in particular – to supply modern weapon systems, the country’s senior generals consider China to be Pakistan’s most reliable strategic partner.

During the 1990s, when US arms transfers to Pakistan were on hold, Islamabad worked with Beijing to eventually produce the JF-17 fighter, which has become the main second-line fighter for the PAF.

Afghan-Pakistani defence ties deepen

Relations between the Afghan and Pakistani militaries have deepened in the wake of the 16 December Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar
The two militaries had previously eyed each other with suspicion amid Afghan claims that Pakistan was doing little to close down Taliban havens on its territory
The military commanders of Pakistan and Afghanistan will meet “regularly to discuss and debate strategic issues”, said a senior Pakistan intelligence official in an interview with IHS Jane’s on 28 January, a week after high-level military commanders from both sides made reciprocal visits.

The official said co-operation between the two states “has especially deepened following the 16 December” Taliban attack on a school in Pakistan’s northern city of Peshawar, which killed 150 people, mostly teenagers.

A day after the Peshawar attack, Pakistan’s army chief, General Raheel Sharif, visited Afghanistan and urged Afghan civil and military leaders to immediately order Afghan forces to attack Taliban sanctuaries in Afghanistan, close to Pakistan’s border. Pakistan’s military and intelligence officials say the militants involved in the Peshawar attack were receiving instructions from handlers inside Afghanistan.

Separately, a Western defence official in Islamabad told IHS Jane’s that the recent military exchanges were driven in part by the United States urging both militaries “to step up military co-operation because they face a common enemy”. Ahead of the conclusion of the US/NATO combat mission in Afghanistan at the end of December 2014, the Obama administration had for years urged Afghanistan and Pakistan to deepen their military co-operation, though without success.

In mid-January Lieutenant General Nasir Janjua, commander of Pakistan’s southern army command, based in Quetta, and Lieutenant General Hidayatur Rehman, commander of the Pakistan army’s corps in Peshawar, visited Afghanistan on invitation from their Afghan counterparts.

Then, on 25 January, the commander of the Afghan border police, Lieutenant General Mohammad Shafiq Fazli, and his deputy, Major General Sher Ali Shaharyar, arrived in Pakistan.

The recent high-level military exchanges are unprecedented for Pakistan and Afghanistan and suggest a growing comfort level between the two armies, which once saw each other as enemies.

For Pakistan, the growing military-to-military warmth begins to open doors for renewing military training for Afghan army cadets. For years the Pakistan Army has sought to formalise training for Afghan cadets on the grounds of cultural and linguistic similarities between the two countries. However, distrust in the past has been fuelled by Afghan charges that Pakistan had failed to act against sanctuaries on its territory used by Afghan Taliban militants.
