The Hybrid War On Hybrid War In Pakisan - Eurasia Future

Part of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (“Pashtun Protection Movement”, PTM) is working with foreign powers to wage Hybrid War on Pakistan in parallel with the complementary Hybrid War dismissively mocking the state’s accusations by portraying them as a self-interested overreaction by the military, with this Hybrid War on Hybrid War representing a very dangerous development that seeks to delegitimize the state’s proactive information campaign about these sorts of threats that has hitherto helped bolster society’s defense against them.

PTM And The Hybrid War Plot


A very dangerous development is taking place in Pakistan nowadays and that’s the Hybrid War on Hybrid War, or in other words, the concerted efforts to delegitimize the state’s proactive information campaign about Hybrid War threats within the country and misportray them as self-interested overreactions by the military. This is especially relevant when it comes to the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (“Pashtun Protection Movement”, PTM) that the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor recently accused of being on the Indian and Afghan intelligence agencies’ payrolls. Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa soon thereafter clarified that “PTM itself is not an issue” but that the “few individuals playing in foreign hands are by design exploiting sentiments of the people who have actually suffered at the hands of terrorism and now need care”, which is the very essence of Hybrid War.

Anti-State Information Warfare

This was an important distinction to make since the Color Revolution phase of Hybrid Warfare is driven by a small core of conspirators who work through a comparatively larger cadre of cohorts to mislead the civilian masses and ultimately provoke them into clashes with the authorities. The movement’s organizers can then use those people as de-facto human shields for whenever the state justifiably responds to the unprovoked attacks against them, after which footage of the event can be deliberately decontextualized, misportrayed, and then over-amplified through the mainstream and social medias in order to incite further anti-government unrest that’s intended to catalyze a self-sustaining cycle of destabilization aimed at squeezing various degrees of concessions from the state depending on the escalation. Giving credence to the civilians’ concerns while discrediting the devious intent behind the movement’s foreign intelligence-linked organizers was the right balance for the state to strike.

Nevertheless, it’s precisely because of this pragmatic approach that avoids climbing the expected escalation ladder of the PTM’s domestic and international organizers that some forces have tried to delegitimize it through the Hybrid War on Hybrid War by misportraying the state’s Hybrid War claims as self-interested overreactions by the military like Daud Khattak of the Pashto-language Radio Mashaal for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty attempted to do in his piece for Foreign Policy magazine titled “The Pakistani Military’s Worst Nightmare Is Coming True“. He makes it seem as though the PTM is the vanguard of an inclusive all-Pakistani movement that’s challenging what he believes is the military’s inappropriate behind-the-scenes role in society, which is why he thinks the armed forces are getting ready for a crackdown against it in order to preserve their hold on power. His dismissive attitude complements the mocking one that some Pakistanis have expressed and altogether advances the implied narrative that there’s supposedly no such thing as the Hybrid War on Pakistan.

Reversing The Roles Of Patriots And Traitors

It can’t be emphasized just how dangerous of a development this is because it makes it seem like Pakistan no longer has any unconventional threats to seriously worry about, and that if anything, the state can’t be trusted to identify them in the first place because it might have “ulterior motives” in doing so like Mr. Khattak hints is the case with what Maj. Gen. Ghafoor recently said about the PTM. In addition, this narrative perversely portrays the treasonous individuals at the top of the PTM’s hierarchy as “patriots” in parallel with suggesting that it’s actually the military itself that’s the “traitors” for going against “the people”. This Hybrid War on Hybrid War capitalizes on the suspicions that some segments of society still have of the establishment even after political outsider Imran Khan’s election last summer and attempts to weaponize populist trends for the purpose of opposing the state. By intentionally confusing the population, these infowar practitioners intend to turn the people against their government ahead of what might be a forthcoming concerted Color Revolution attempt.

The “Coalition Of Malcontent Minorities” vs. Pakistaniat

Geo-demographically speaking, the ultra-diverse state of Pakistan is comprised of a Punjabi core surrounded by a minority-populated periphery, which is an arrangement that the country’s Hybrid War foes endeavor to exploit if they can break the concept of Pakistaniat (“Pakistan-ness”) through externally provoked identity conflict like I warned about in my 2017 conference paper about the “Applicability of Hybrid Warfare to Pakistan: Challenges and Possible Responses” that was published in the Pakistani National Defence University’s official journal. Therein lays the strategic relevancy of the PTM in the eyes of hostile powers because it could serve as the seemingly “peaceful” catalyst for getting people to question Pakistaniat prior to some of the group’s representatives being pushed by their foreign patrons into taking up arms against the state following any forthcoming security crackdown against them in order to militantly try to dismantle this national unity concept like some wayward Baloch have been attempting to do for years already.

From the Indo-American perspective, one of the grand strategic goals of their intelligence agencies is to organize a so-called “coalition of malcontent minorities” among the Pashtuns, Sindhis, and Baloch that could challenge the centrally positioned Punjabis and ultimately extract political concessions from the central state in order to achieve broad Bosnian-like autonomy for each of their regions, which would in effect make Pakistan much easier to divide and rule by foreign powers because of the lack of external effort that would have to be expended to keep inter-ethnic/-regional tensions simmering in that event. That’s not to say that decentralization in and of itself is a foreign plot, but just that implementing it along the aforementioned lines could inadvertently create a situation that would be easier for Pakistan’s enemies to exploit, though this scenario can’t happen so long as the country’s many people still believe in Pakistaniat, which seems to be the true target of the PTM’s foreign intelligence-linked leaders.

Putting It All Together

Being aware of the long-term strategic aims that Pakistan’s enemies are pursuing, the reader can now better understand the deviousness of the Hybrid War on Hybrid War which is predicated on getting people to believe that none of these threats exist and that anyone who warns about them is just a “useful idiot” spreading a “conspiracy theory” that ultimately plays into the military’s self-interested hands at the populations’ “democratic expense”. That’s not the case at all because the reality is that those who dishonestly doubt the existence of the multifaceted Hybrid War on Pakistan are the real useful idiots spreading an actual conspiracy that ultimately plays into the hands of the country’s external enemies at the entire population’s security expense because it lowers their guard and makes it more likely that others might become pawns of these foreign plots hatched by a handful of core members and their cohorts like was previously explained.

The fact of the matter is that Pashtuns have never had it better in Pakistan’s history because one of their own is now the country’s Prime Minister and the military has successfully stamped out previous terrorist threats in their region.

Like all “Global South” countries, there are still local problems in Pakistan that need to be properly addressed by the authorities, which is why Gen. Bajwa was very clear in stating that the PTM itself isn’t an issue whatsoever but that the state’s concern is with the “few individuals (who are) playing in foreign hands (and) are by design exploiting sentiments of the people who have actually suffered at the hands of terrorism.” The majority of those who associate with the PTM are well-intended civilians, but that doesn’t change the fact that their organization is misleading many of them into functioning as the vanguard of a much wider Color Revolution movement that’s the tip of the spear in the larger Hybrid War on Pakistan, which is why its responsible members must disown the group’s treasonous leaders and refuse to participate in any destabilizing activities. If properly and urgently reformed, the PTM could become a valuable part of Pakistan’s developing democracy.

Concluding Thoughts

Far from being the “conspiracy theory” that its proponents dismissively claim that it is in order to muddle minds and divert attention from the divide-and-rule goals that they’re really pursuing, the Hybrid War on Hybrid War in Pakistan is disturbingly real and could carry with it very dangerous consequences for the country’s security if more people are deceived into falling for this narrative. There’s no doubt that foreign forces are trying to exploit the majority of the PTM’s well-intended members through the financial relationship that these intelligence agencies have with their leaders, but pretending that this isn’t the case could delegitimize the state’s possibly forthcoming security crackdown against the treasonous individuals within this group and thus attempt to “justify” the terrorism that some of them might resort to afterwards as being “legitimate acts of self-defense against the military dictatorship”. Therefore, the solution is to raise awareness of this particular Hybrid War threat simultaneously with the strengthening of Pakistaniat in order to ensure that the country’s enemies don’t succeed in creating a “coalition of malcontent minorities” and forever weakening national unity.
Policies in Pakistan are made too military centric. Indus delta is getting destroyed, water scarcity, economy is shaking, education system collapsing....we don't care.. The result is, our non-military machinery, which usually deals with problems like PTM, is inactive and rusted.
The ultimate result is, military is cleaning gutters, military dealing with political attacks on Pakistan, military dealing with hybrid war.
I think, in future, military will be dealing with maternity homes as well.
But my question is, what so much civil bureaucracy is getting paid for? Although they are doing some job, but they are not planning for the future of Pakistan, because we, in Pakistan have not nurtured them. Political elite really want some corrupt companions from establishment, and they will never make bureaucracy what bureaucracy should be.

So, yeah, at the moment, we have only the military solution for this hybrid war.
 
.
Pakistan has made the situation much worse than it should have been.

Big provinces like Punjab & Balochistan should have been made into smaller units that would have prevented the discontent and made the country much easier to manage than these large provinces.

India has re-organised their states many times.
Not just big but all

Our Lion speaks!

Great to hear that a new division is going to be raised also.

As always #DGISPR has said so much by saying so little.

Indeed, Silence has its own language... Khamoshi ki bi apni zuban hoti hae!
The only way we can defeat this scourge is respecting each other and every pakistani
Not calling non punjabis as minorities but equal citizens of this country looking at non punjabis with suspicion as if they are less patriotic this is dangerous we have been bitten by this snake once in 1971 we should be very coutious now no 5th 6th 7th gen war can break us but this has the potential to break this country I fear this the most.
change this attitude and nothing can harm us this country is naka tul Allah who so ever harms it will be destroyed you know the history Better than me We need to fill the cracks between us. Enemies will always be around us plotting we need to strengthen our unity sorry to say this is not the tone and the way to do it.

How To Make A Sourdough Starter





• ‘Military grade explosive or TNT used in Peshawar attack’
• Blast occurred during Sheikh Rahimuddin’s lecture, live-streamed on Facebook
• Five-kilo explosives used in timed device: officials

PESHAWAR: At least eight students were killed and about 120 others wounded when a timed device went off inside a mosque where a large number of seminary students were attending a class on Tuesday morning.
Police said the blast took place inside the main prayer hall of Spin Jumat or White Mosque, located in Dir Colony on Ring Road, at around 8am when seventh-grade students from the nearby Zubbairyah seminary were attending a class there.
KP police chief Dr Sanaullah Abbasi told reporters at the crime scene that they were investigating the incident. He said about five kilograms of explosives were used in the attack; however, there was no specific alert about this attack.
ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD

Medics at the Lady Reading Hospital confirmed they received seven bodies and an eighth victim died from wounds later. “We have treated 95 injured for blast wounds,” an LRH spokesperson told Dawn.
He said that majority of the injured were suffering from hearing loss and burn wounds. Up to 90 per cent of the injured were discharged after providing initial treatment, while those who had sustained serious wounds were admitted, he added.
Some victims were also taken to other hospitals.
Security sources told Dawn that a sophisticated timed device was used in the attack. “The attack does not bear signature of usual suspects like Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan [TTP] and its other offshoots,” a senior official said, adding that it appeared to be handiwork of a rather well-trained and an organised new group.
“The explosives impact indicates that military grade explosive or TNT was used in the attack,” the source said, adding that perhaps why the blast left a big crater in hard marble floor. “It is a sophisticated job.”
He said that locally made explosives would not have left such a big crater. He said heavy quantity of pellets were also used to turn the device more lethal.
Eyewitnesses told Dawn that the attack targeted a class with Sheikh Rahimuddin Haqqani, a senior cleric and instructor. However, the source said, Sheikh was the apparent target of the blast. Sheikh, an Afghan national from Jalalabad, remained safe in the attack.
Abu Bakar, a teenager belonging to Afghanistan who was inside the mosque at the time of the blast, said the mosque was jam-packed with students when the blast occurred. “There was a deafening thud and the entire mosque filled with smoke and flames,” he said. He said that soon after the blast, a band of students who were the Sheikh’s followers, threw themselves over him and immediately rushed him out of harm’s way.
Sheikh Haqqani also streams his Hadith lessons from the mosque live on his Facebook page, followed by about 119,000 people. On Tuesday morning, he was teaching from Mishkat Sharif, an anthology of traditions of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), which was also shown live on his page. A 26-minute video of the lesson was still available on his page at the time of filing of this report in the evening. The bomb hit into the 25th minute of his lesson and threw everything up in air. Only cries and wails could be heard in the audio.
One of the students could be heard asking about the Sheikh’s safety towards the end of the audio. Someone tells him that he had been taken away safely, before the streaming stops.
Sheikh is also known to transmit on his Facebook page religious debates with other clerics. Lately, he had engaged in a theological debate with another cleric Sheikh Afzal Alsalafi Al Swati, who used his own Facebook page for his transmissions, with over 60,000 followers.
The highly heated debate between both sides amidst charges of heresy exchanged by the debaters was into its third week. It is important to mention that the KP government had carried out a survey to identify Afghan clerics teaching at seminaries or mosques and had made an effort to remove them, but apparently nothing came of it.
The seminary administrator told Dawn that a couple of days back some policemen had visited the place and asked them to improve their security. He said that after the police visit, they were checking identity cards of all their students before letting them in to attend lectures.
He said about 1,000 students were enrolled in the seminary, which is situated across the street away from the mosque and is a rather cramped place for such a large number of students.
The rooms are crowded and stuffed with bags of flour and rice heaped in a pile next to the entrance. The place was so overcrowded that the administration had partitioned the verandah with curtains to turn them into small rooms for the large number of students to stay and sleep. The mosque, where the blast took place, is spacious and open. The blast left a big crater towards the northern side. The full impact of the blast was visible on the roof. Flying shrapnel from the explosive device had left bits and pieces of human remains plastered to the roof. Locals were trying to scrub clean the walls and the roofs to prepare the mosque for noon prayers.
Sheikh Haqqani had survived a previous attempt by IS to assassinate him four years ago. Sources said he was shot and injured in a gun attack back in August 2016. They said that during investigation of the gun attack, police had arrested a group of militants linked to the Islamic State (IS).
