Ammar Ali Jan: Will Pakistan remain a US proxy or become a regional partner in development and resistance?

Pakistan has for decades been a foot soldier for advancing the interests of US imperialism at the hindrance of its own development

Ammar Ali Jan argues that the Pakistani elite are indifferent to the majority of their citizens, who face poverty, ethnic and sectarian violence, and the effects of climate change.
