For years, the United Arab Emirates carefully cultivated an image of itself as the Middle East’s exception: a place insulated from the disorder, instability and geopolitical volatility that have repeatedly consumed the wider region. Dubai in particular was marketed not merely as a wealthy Gulf city, but as a symbol of permanence and predictability in an unpredictable neighborhood. Gleaming skylines, luxury tourism, financial liberalization and relentless global branding combined to create the impression that the UAE had somehow transcended the strategic vulnerabilities that continue to define the Gulf. Yet the aftermath of Iranian strikes has exposed how fragile that narrative…

By Dr Zawwar Hussain Certain years in human history become more than simple dates on a calendar. They turn into defining moments that shape the trajectory of civilization itself. The year 2025 is rapidly becoming one of those historic years. It is being remembered not only for political conflicts, economic instability, or wars, but also for the increasingly forceful warnings issued by nature. The Earth, oceans, atmosphere, rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, storms, droughts, and floods all appear to be speaking in one voice: if humanity continues to resist change, the future may become far more dangerous. The global statistics for…

By Professor Dr. S K Akram Ali When a country undergoes war, revolution or political transformation, “national reconstruction strategies” are often adopted to rebuild the state in line with the hopes and aspirations of its people. Bangladesh’s history has seen numerous such initiatives across different periods, yet each time the nation has faced severe challenges, ultimately failing to fully achieve its stated goals. Political leaders are frequently held responsible for this, and in the past, public suffering has tended to deepen with each cycle of disruption. As a result, the people of Bangladesh have long struggled to achieve any definitive…

By Asghar Ali Mubarak Pakistan’s ongoing deportation drive targeting Afghan nationals has entered a more accelerated and controversial phase, reflecting a tightening intersection of security concerns, migration policy and regional instability. Under what the authorities describe as the “Illegal Migrant Return Plan,” enforcement agencies have stepped up arrests and removals of both documented and undocumented Afghan citizens across multiple cities, signaling a shift from managed repatriation timelines to a far more immediate and, at times, forceful implementation on the ground. Official figures and recent reporting from international humanitarian organizations suggest that more than 146,000 Afghan nationals have been deported in…

There is a particular kind of silence that falls over a region when one nuclear‑armed state suggests, even in passing, that another might be removed from the map. It is not the silence of calm. It is the silence of people holding their breath, children pausing in playgrounds, mothers glancing at rooftops, fathers checking the radio, all waiting to see whether the world will tip into something irreversible. That silence descended on South Asia this week after remarks attributed to General Upendra Dwivedi, India’s Army Chief, were interpreted in Islamabad as questioning whether Pakistan’s continued support for militancy could place…
