Where No One Is Permanent Friend

Ali Ashraf Khan :
Humanity seems to be buried not only by nonbelievers but believers alike. Ethics, morality and liberty are compromised for petty personal gains, hunger is crushing poverty stricken people everywhere from US to African and Asian continents, while new actors emerging on world scene are no different, look at the hypocrisy and double standards of world leaders, Donald Trump immature actions are going to prove disastrous for world peace, Middle East remained victim of US Attrocities, Afghanistan alleged involvement in 9/11, without giving any proof has not only crippled Afghanistan but destroyed longstanding tribal system of governance but still continued to be exploited by those who claimed to be champions of Human Rights and Liberty.
Look at the wheeling and dealing going around from President Trump against his possible election rival Joe Biden that Ukerain has received highest attention on world media that people, investigation on Russiagate involvement in 2016 elections shifted to Ukeraingate now, having unable to achieve the desired results, President Trump now facing impeachment proceedings by Congressional committee frustrated by Whistleblower has approached China to probe Joe Bidens sons involvement in US China relations, all in a bid to save fat skins of powerful people involved in heinous crime including genocide in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Japan, Libya, Yemen, Syria while US allies India in Kashmir and disappearance of Jamal Khoshsagi from Saudi Embassy in Ankara has depressed peace loving humanity about their custodians behaviour towards their own nationals and fellow human beings. Kashmir, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan are burning while powerful leaders are trading by deployment and withdrawal of their army by showing threats of ISIL a US nurtured and equipped militia group, first used in middle East now shifted to Afghanistan, Kurds were also favourites of US now suddenly when Iran was alleged to have hand in drone and missiles attack on Saudi Oil and US, UAE aligned with Saudis to launch attack against Iran, Iran moved towards Russian and a summit was immediately held in Ankara where President Putin, President Rafsanjani and President Erdogan declared agreement to defend US allies attacks on civilian in Syria, on Sunday a big change surprised the Muslim world when Trump announced withdrawal of US troops from Syria and back Turkish attack on Kurds and any other outfit fighting against Syrians.
We have been emphasizing that no country can be your permanent friend or ally, a glimpse of that we saw when Pakistan couldn’t obtain the required signatures on its draft resolution to be presented before the UN Human Rights Commission, even Muslim countries avoided to sign due to changed power play on world map, everyone has its own national interest close to heart and nobody follows the trait that is being followed by Pakistan and rulers continue to fool its own subjects that those in power are doing everything to safeguard sovereignty and solidarity while the state is become more fragile everyday and economic and financial mismanagement touching new heights. People are looking for divine intervention and rulers and opposition is busy in their own game to promote their family dynasty. GOD Bless Pakistan and Humanity.
