Afghan Taliban’s authority has been challenged by the advent of organisations like IS in Afghanistan

If Afghan Taliban hold on to their occupation for some time, there is fear of defections from ranks of the Afghan Army

One lesson is unmistakably clear: the back of the terrorists has been broken; their leadership is in disarray

Is Europe right to shut its doors on refugees whose displacement has been caused by policies of Western leaders?

Never in Pakistan have peasants, artisans, traders, students, taken to streets demanding resolution of Kashmir dispute

If dilemma is not resolved soon, there will, inevitably, be divisions in the ranks of the Afghan Taliban

Countries like Pakistan can and must contribute to initiation of a long process that seeks Iran-Arab reconciliation

Having taken the plunge, the process must be carried through to completion

It is time leaders in both countries shed their paranoia and engaged in a frank and candid dialogue

For policy of mediation to deliver, Pakistan leadership must align itself completely with aspiration, dream of Afghans
