Pakistan is in deep turmoil as Baloch, Sindhi, and Pashtun groups unite against the state, intensifying the resistance in Balochistan. In a desperate move, Pakistan is once again blaming India for the uprising, but is this just an excuse to cover its own failures? With multiple insurgencies brewing, is Pakistan heading toward a breakup? Sanjay Dixit, Ajay K Raina, and Aadi Achint analyze Pakistan's deteriorating control over Balochistan, the growing anti-Pakistan sentiment among ethnic groups, and the geopolitical consequences of a fractured Pakistan.

Pakistan continues to spiral into chaos and instability, with rising tensions in Balochistan, more Pakistani soldiers reportedly killed, and the looming influence of figures like Hafiz Saeed. As internal conflicts escalate and the economy crumbles, is Pakistan heading toward a complete breakdown? Arzoo Kazmi and Sanjay Dixit analyze the latest developments in Pakistan, the growing resistance in Balochistan, and the role of radical elements in shaping the country's future.

Houthis vow to attack US warships, carriers "Yemen's Houthi leader Abdul Malik al Houthi vowed to intensify attacks in response to US military operations, warning that drones and missiles will target American warships and aircraft carriers. Speaking in a video statement, al Houthi declared they would respond to escalation with escalation and accused the US of turning the sea into a battlefield. He also said that the US would now be included in the Houthi-imposed naval blockade, alongside Israel, as long as its aggression persists." Armenian forces attack Azerbaijani troops: Baku "Azerbaijan on Sunday said that its military positions were fired upon by Armenian forces in three separate incidents along the border. The Defence Ministry reported gunfire from Armenian troops near the Khazinevar, Burun and Digh settlements. Armenia has denied the claims. The renewed friction comes just days after both nations announced progress on a draft peace deal aimed at ending decades of conflict." Russia seeks 'ironclad' guarantees in Ukraine war "Moscow is demanding ""ironclad"" guarantees in Ukraine peace talks, insisting on Kiev's neutrality and exclusion from NATO. This comes as Washington pushes for a 30-day ceasefire, with talks expected between the US and Russian presidents this week. Separately, Ukraine's military leadership sees a shake-up with the appointment of Major General Andrii Hnatov as the new chief of General Staff, aiming to bolster operational efficiency." Deadly suicide attack strikes Pakistan military forces "A vehicle-borne suicide bomber targeted a military convoy in southwest Pakistan, killing at least five, including three Frontier Corps troops and wounding over 43 others, according to officials. Security forces suspect the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) is behind the bombing. Three suspected terrorists were killed in the security operation in the volatile district of Noshki in Balochistan after the attack, the Pakistani military said. Authorities fear the death toll may rise as several victims remain in critical condition. The attack followed Pakistan's recent anti-terror operation against the BLA, which killed dozens of terrorists after a deadly train hijacking ambush." Netanyahu moves to dismiss Shin Bet chief over Hamas attack fallout "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to propose the dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to the government, citing a ""lack of trust."" The decision follows tensions over an internal investigation into the agency's failure to foresee Hamas's October 7 attack. While Shin Bet admitted lapses, it also pointed to Netanyahu's policies as a contributing factor. The dismissal is poised to stir significant controversy within Israel."

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Manisha Pande, Raman Kirpal, Jayashree Arunachalam and Anand Vardhan are joined by writer and podcaster Amit Varma. The panel first discusses pre-Holi communal concerns, including a Sambhal cop saying Muslims should stay inside this Holi if they don't want to be smeared with colour. Jayashree says communal provocations during Holi have become normal: “We have this delusional idea of Hindus and Muslims holding hands and celebrating Holi. But that is not the country we live in now.” Anand explains the history of Bhojpuri Holi songs and the evolution of vulgarity. “The sexualised space has been taken into account by the pop music industry for its titillation value…These songs were not always vulgar, some even represented female desire.”The panel then moves on to the controversies around the recently concluded Champions Trophy. Abhinandan says, “There was nothing offensive about the Indian team not wanting to go to Pakistan due to security issues. Look at what has happened with the Balochistan train hijack this week.” Amit explains the tariff wars with the US: “Of all that Trump is doing, tariffs are the most bizarre. They are a disaster, period, and this has been the economic consensus for the last 200 years.” This and a lot more. Tune in!We have a page for subscribers to send letters to our shows.

* Palestine awaits freedom of 369 citizens from Israeli jails Israel is set to free 369 Palestinians as part of the sixth exchange since the Gaza ceasefire, often breached by Tel Aviv, that took effect on January 19. In a statement, the Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office, affiliated with Hamas resistance group, said the released will include 36 Palestinians serving life sentences and 333 from Gaza who were abducted by Israel after October 7, 2023. Twenty-four of the released will be sent abroad. In return, Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced the names of three Israeli captives scheduled for release as part of the swap deal. * Erdogan warns of US 'miscalculation' on Gaza Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called the approval of forced displacement completely unacceptable and described it as pure brutality, referring to US President Donald Trump's proposal for the future of Palestine's Gaza. Discussing the United States' approach to the Middle East, Erdogan criticised its miscalculations, remarking, "One should not disregard the region's history, values, and heritage." "We expect Trump to fulfil the promise he made before the election. He should take steps to build peace, not start a new war," Erdogan said * Jewish People Say No to Ethnic Cleansing' — 350+ rabbis sign NYT ad More than 350 rabbis, alongside Jewish creatives and activists, have signed a full-page ad in The New York Times condemning President Donald Trump's controversial proposal for the forced expulsion of over 2 million Palestinians from Gaza. The ad features signatories from diverse Jewish denominations and notable figures such as Tony Kushner, Ilana Glazer, Joaquin Phoenix and Peter Beinart. The text of the ad on NYT's page A7 reads: "Trump has called for the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza. Jewish people say NO to ethnic cleansing!" * M23 rebels enter eastern DRC's Bukavu city M23 rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have entered the region's second-largest city of Bukavu, the latest ground gained since a major escalation of their yearslong fighting with government forces. The M23 rebels entered the city's Kazingu and Bagira zone and were advancing towards the centre of the city of about 1.3 million people. Videos posted online appeared to show rebels marching toward the Bagira area. * Roadside bomb kills multiple mine workers in Pakistan's Balochistan A bomb targeting a vehicle carrying coal miners in southwestern Pakistan killed at least 11 people and wounded six others.

Balochistan Separated from Pakistan | Pak Breakup Complete | Details of Attack | Sanjay Dixit

A separatist group in western Pakistan says it carried out a suicide bombing at a railway station which killed at least 25 people and injured dozens more. The separatist militant group, Balochistan Liberation Army, said the blast at Quetta station targeted an army unit. Also in the programme: a senior advisor to Donald Trump's campaign says Ukraine needs to acknowledge that it has lost Crimea to Russia; and we delve into the mystery of UK's oldest satellite which is thousands of kilometres away from where it should be.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang is in Pakistan this week to get ties with its South Asian neighbor back on track after a series of terrorist attacks this year. The latest incident occurred earlier this month near the airport in the southern port city of Karachi when separatist militants with the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) killed two Chinese nationals in a suicide bombing. Pakistan has vowed to crack down on the militants but, so far, to little avail. In turn, Beijing has become increasingly frustrated with Islamabad's inability to better protect Chinese interests in the country. Eram Ashraf, a China-Pakistan relations scholar, explained in a column published in The Diplomat how the violence is taking a toll on this vital Chinese diplomatic relationship. She joins Eric & Cobus to explain what's at stake for both sides if the Pakistani government can't contain the BLA.

*) New explosions hit UN peacekeepers' base in Lebanon The United Nations peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, has suffered yet another attack, with new explosions hitting its headquarters. The incident has left two more peacekeepers injured, following yesterday's assault on the same position by Israeli forces. UNIFIL's command centre in Naqoura has been targeted by Israeli military artillery for the third time in three days. *) 100+ UN states condemn Israel's 'persona non grata' declaration on Guterres Meanwhile, a coalition of 104 UN member states, along with the African Union, has condemned Israel's decision to declare Secretary-General Antonio Guterres "persona non grata." The group voiced strong support for Guterres in a statement. The statement, signed by the countries, including Türkiye, criticised Israel's decision and argued that labelling Guterres "unwelcome" undermines the UN's mandate *) Terrorists kill 20 coal miners in Pakistan's Balochistan Twenty coal miners have been shot dead in an overnight attack on their lodgings in Pakistan's Balochistan province. Police said that 35 to 40 plain-clothed, heavily armed men fired at coal miners for half an hour before escaping into the night. *) Hurricane Milton death toll rises to 16 The death toll from Hurricane Milton rose to at least 16, officials in Florida said, as residents began the painful process of piecing their lives and homes back together. Officials said nearly 2.5 million households and businesses were still without power, and some areas in the path cut through the Sunshine State by the monster storm from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean remained flooded. President Joe Biden on Sunday will visit areas in Florida impacted by Hurricane Milton. Biden said the estimated damage from the hurricane was about $50 billion. *) US atomic bomb survivors: Nihon Hidankyo group wins Nobel Peace Prize The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organisation of survivors of the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for its activism against nuclear weapons. The chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said the award was made as the “taboo against the use of nuclear weapons is under pressure.” He said the Nobel committee wishes to honour all survivors who have chosen to use their costly experience to cultivate hope and engagement for peace despite physical suffering and painful memories.

On this week's episode of Mehdi Unfiltered, Mehdi explains the Israeli military policy driving their genocidal campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon. “The Dahiya doctrine calls for the Israeli military to intentionally, deliberately, cynically, inflict long-lasting and disproportionate damage onto the enemy, no matter how bad the civilian consequences,” Mehdi says. “AKA, exactly what we're seeing in Lebanon now, and in Gaza for the past year.”Why doesn't the US media give Israel's Dahiya doctrine any coverage? Mehdi does a deep dive into the history behind the policy, that of which mainstream media has failed to bring attention to. To discuss Israel's new front of the war in Lebanon, Lebanese academic and London School of Economics Professor, Fawaz Gerges joins the show. Gerges talks to Mehdi about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest message to the Lebanese people, in which Netanyahu called on the Lebanese people to, “stand up and take their country back” from Hezbollah or face the same suffering Israel has inflicted on Gaza. “What Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition are trying to do is to instigate a civil war in Lebanon. They're calling on the Lebanese to rise up to revolt against Hezbollah, knowing full well that Hezbollah is an integral part of the social fabric [in Lebanon],” Gerges says.Watch the full discussion above to hear Mehdi and Fawaz discuss why Israel's military strategy is so ineffective, the killing of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah, and how the war in Gaza could change the international order forever. Also on the show, human rights activist Dr. Mahrang Baloch joins to tell Mehdi the story of how after being named one of Time Magazine's 100 Next, the Pakistani government barred her from traveling to New York to be recognized by Time and attend their gala this week. Baloch, who has been speaking out against Pakistan's abuse and killing of the country's Baloch minority, tells Mehdi that she was prevented from traveling to New York for the gala because the government knew she “would expose their war crimes in Balochistan.”“For years, our people have suffered enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and unimaginable human rights violations. And the US is [Pakistan's] biggest ally ,” Baloch says to Mehdi. “Not a single person that belongs to the Baloch community is safe.”Listen to Mehdi's interview with Dr. Mahrong Baloch to hear more about what the recognition from Time Magazine means to her and her minority community, as well as why other countries are turning a blind eye to Pakistan's abuse.After Elon Musk's surprise appearance at a Trump rally this past weekend, Mehdi is joined by the authors of “Character Limit,” – a new book about Musk and his disastrous Twitter takeover. "From bringing back formerly suspended accounts like that of former President Donald Trump and a variety of white supremacists and card-carrying antisemites, to then suspending accounts of journalists tracking the location of his jet using public sources, one thing is clear about Elon Musk, he is not the hero in this story,” Mehdi says. “But he thinks he is.”Watch Mehdi's interview with the authors, Ryan Mac and Kate Conger, to hear more about Musk forming his own echo chamber, his decisions to reduce content moderation on Twitter, and his rise into the far-right MAGA world. Be sure to watch the rest of this week's episode above.

Part 1 of 2 - Sajid Hussain, a Pakistani journalist in exile in Sweden after facing threats for his work on human rights abuses in Balochistan, went missing and was later found dead in the Fyris River. Although Swedish police concluded there was no foul play, suspicions persist that his death may have been linked to his investigative reporting, potentially involving Pakistani intelligence. The case underscores the risks faced by exiled journalists and leaves unanswered questions about the true cause of his death.
