A world war is closer than we like to think, and that should terrify us. Gideon Rachman's new book makes the case compellingly. An important read

Afghan Taliban intelligence chief Abdul Haq Wasiq identified TikTok and Telegram as key platforms for ISKP recruitment, mobilisation and fundraising at the First SCO Plus Expert Dialogue on Security Issues (Samarkand, 5–6 November 2026), highlighting the growing role of social messaging platforms in the group’s activities.

د محبت د ګلستان خبرې نه کوی څوک
خلق هوښیار شو د تاوان خبرې نه کوی څوک
هر چا د خپلو پرهرونو ژبې وتړلې
د سرو ګلونو د باران خبرې نه کوی څوک
زما د ښار د محتسب دعا قبوله شوله
زما په ښار کې د ایمان خبرې نه کوی څوک

What was considered organisational intent ‘chatter’ in February 2026, is now a reality in November. The FPV drones in Balochistan used by BLA show that the supply chain for such infrastructure is not only intact but delivering . If it has appeared in one province, it’s only a matter of time for it to appear in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This wider technological proliferation means raising the cost of a volatile security landscape and more propaganda intended to hurt investors. The innovation in the aerial dimension also reinvigorates the notion in the medium term of reduced human involvement but more deterrence value in the short to medium term.

وہ رائیگاں بھی اگر تھی تو رائیگاں نہ کہو
کہ روز و شب مرے اس جستجو میں اچھے تھے
اگرچہ وہ بھی نہ تھے حسب آرزو لیکن
وہ دن کٹے جو تری آرزو میں اچھے تھے
ہوا ہوئی ہے موافق ہمیں وہیں لے چل
سفینہ راں ہم اسی آب جو میں اچھے تھے

One of the big impacts of the midterm results could be on US immigration and visa policies. Trump’s policies have hurt US-India ties. Changes in them could give a boost to bilateral relations and especially people-to-people ties-a longstanding hallmark of US-India partnership.

The Taliban on the potential deportation of more than 150 Afghans from the U.S. to Afghanistan through Pakistan:
“The Islamic Emirate calls on the United States to act responsibly and prudently in this matter and to address the fate of Afghan citizens through mutual understanding, necessary coordination, and clear measures, while taking into account their legitimate demands and rights. The Afghan side is ready to engage in practical cooperation based on mutual understanding in this regard, while taking into consideration the legitimate concerns of both sides.
The Islamic Emirate also calls on third countries not to use the fate of citizens of other countries as a bargaining tool to secure short-term gains or pursue other interests, and not to undermine human dignity or accepted ethical and humanitarian standards through their decisions and actions.”

Across the world, journalists continue to pay an outrageous price for telling the truth.
When journalists are targeted & their reporting is extinguished, it makes victims of us all.
On this International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, we demand justice.
