In Pakistan, nearly 1,000 people have been arrested after violent clashes erupted during protests demanding the release of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The protests, which began over the weekend, escalated into violent confrontations with police in Islamabad. Khan’s supporters, including his wife Bushra Khan and senior political aides, stormed the capital's red zone, breaking through security barricades. Pakistani authorities conducted a large-scale operation with paramilitary forces to disperse the protesters. The police chief denied allegations of using live ammunition, although Khan’s aides claimed hundreds were injured and several protesters were killed. The protests, initially peaceful, turned chaotic, leading to multiple fatalities and a significant security operation. This is the latest chapter in the ongoing unrest following Khan’s imprisonment since August 2023.

India has voiced strong concerns over Pakistan's unexpected naval expansion, especially with China's growing influence in the region. As Pakistan focuses on building its military capabilities, including new submarines and warships, India questions whether this expansion is taking place at the expense of the welfare of Pakistan's citizens, particularly amid rising inflation and economic struggles. In this video, we explore the geopolitical implications of this naval growth, how China is involved, and what it means for regional security in the Indian Ocean.

In a surge of sectarian violence in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, at least 37 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in less than 24 hours. The clashes, primarily between Sunni and Shia communities, have intensified in recent months, particularly in the mountainous Kurram district, a region known for its long-standing sectarian tensions. The violence escalated after gunmen targeted Shia convoys, killing 43 on Thursday, prompting retaliatory attacks by Shia groups, who set fire to Sunni-dominated areas. Despite efforts to mediate peace, the region remains unstable, with security forces attempting to restore calm amid growing tensions.

As the deadline to prevent a government shutdown rapidly approaches, former President Donald Trump has dismissed a bipartisan agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Trump pushed for a controversial new deal that includes a three-month government funding extension and a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, a proposal that was swiftly rejected by the House of Representatives. With crucial public services and federal workers at risk, Congress must act fast to avoid a shutdown. Will lawmakers come together in time to avert this crisis just days before Christmas?
