   >Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) remains the deadliest terrorist organisation in Pakistan for the second year. The TTP was responsible for 52 per cent of deaths in Pakistan in 2024. In 2024, the TTP carried out 482 attacks, resulting in 558 deaths, an increase of 91 per cent from the 293 deaths in the preceding year. This is the most active that the group has been since 2009.

   >The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) was responsible for Pakistan’s deadliest terror attack of 2024, when a suicide bomber killed at least 25 civilians and soldiers at Quetta railway station in Balochistan province.37 Baloch militant groups such as the BLA and the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) continue to take advantage of ongoing instability within Pakistan. Attacks by these groups have increased significantly from 116 in 2023 to 504 in 2024. Deaths surged over fourfold to 388, from 88 in the previous year.

2. Pakistan is basically yellow man‘s burden at this point.  The entire population is collectively hallucinating on non existen grandiosity.

   This should serve as a warning to countries line Rwanda that instead of prioritizing economic development, waste their resources on power plays.

4. Jinnah passed away too early to calibrate any sort of secular society there….
