IMF Conditions Spark Geopolitical Consequences
In a startling revelation, International Mediator Muhammed Faisal stated that the recent sanctions imposed by the US on the Pakistan-China missile program are a direct consequence of Pakistan’s agreement to the IMF’s stringent conditions. According to Faisal, the Shehbaz Sharif regime’s acceptance of these terms, including the cessation of plans to expand economic zones like CPEC, led to an immediate response from the West. The US sanctions appear to be a calculated move in response to Pakistan’s increasing economic reliance on China, reflecting the fragile balance between global powers.
Western Alignment Raises Questions on Imran Khan’s Ouster
Faisal’s remarks suggest that the subservience of the Shehbaz regime to the West and its silent understanding with Western powers are now being linked to broader political shifts in Pakistan. He emphasized that such steps are shedding more light on the reasons behind the overthrow of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government, suggesting that his ouster was not solely a domestic issue but intertwined with international political maneuvering. The revelations add fuel to ongoing debates about Pakistan’s foreign policy trajectory under the current regime.
