Behind our backs, world travelers are using Pakistan's unfrequented North as a pretty comfort couch while badmouthing & resenting the rest of Pakistan... without going in depth about our crises and issues that require an extensive attention and compassionate intersectional look.

So I called this kind lady traveler out. The casual disregard that the hedonistic, escape-seeking mostly-Western travelers flick towards "South Pakistan" is chilling in its disrespect and almost unintentional but certain cruel outcome. (See next).

Continued from previous.
Travelers who are causing a schism between "North and South Pakistan" are doing great disservice to "both", AND objectifying the people of the North by forcing them to act as prize catches in a trophy hunt.
One byproduct of this "playing favorites" in the house of Pakistan by our honorable guests who often enjoy near complete laissez-faire as the colonial-minded us sit around is the entrapment of mountain people in the objectified hero roles... and it prevents them from having
presenting and solving their human issues.... which ALL of us have. A scanning of White narratives shows the Whites exchanging whispers and rumors that soldify this hypothetical divide; a quiet reinforcement of prejudices and bias whereas the 'hero' North is also all-too-human.
North Pakistan has severe problems of unemployment, drugs, suicide, depression and now also rape & murder & pedophilia. All sorts of depravity is on the rise. But you cannot speak openly about it as either Northern-or-elsewhere Pakistani.

It upsets some people's #tourism plans.
Fuck #tourism.
Take care of true, wholistic, authentic, engaged #development first... and prosperity will come.

What do you want, after all? Mindless footfall in ecologically sensitive regions... or prosperity?

Make prosperity the endgame!
Running around to earn Pakistan money in the short-term by compromising and shortselling the long-term development of our people is cowardice, prostitution, a sell-out.
And SHAME too on those Pakistanis from across Pakistan, esp the hedonistic-nihilistic urban centers, who are ALSO using our sensitive ecological areas as just-pretty backgrounds for vain and hellacious Instagram and TikTok productions. This is not your ego's studio and bazaar! 😠
Don't turn these areas into bloody prostitution-and-drug-dealing centers!! 😠😠😡

((Same issues apparently erupting across the border in India and elsewhere in #SAARC such #Bhutan. TOGETHER we need to battle this insanity and plundering.))
Tech giants are banning so much right now. If today they make Internet text-only, this wholescale degradation and RAPE of Earth's natural resources, exploitation of its indigenous and ALL people, spin of true narratives will HALT to a huge degree!!

Or whatever. Salaam.
Rant over. For now.

Niger state shares borders with Zamfara, kebbi, Kaduna & Benin Republic. Terrorists from Niger republic and Burkina faso easily move money and arms across the borders of Kebbi, Zamfara and Benin R into Niger state. According to UN over 900,000 people have been displaced in B'Faso https://t.co/65YEMJhqDp


Niger, Mali and Burkina faso are weak countries populated by Shell terrorists who have now found a safe haven in the forests in Kaduna and Niger state. Birin Gwari, Mokwa forest, Nanati forests, Kanji lake areas.

No decent human resides permanently in forests.

We are facing both external and internal threats from these weak and failed countries we are surrounded with. As a senator you know that a FG police system with less than 300k officers can't actively police the landmass and borders in the North.
Form your state police now!

You and other senators should scrap the FG police system and devote the unaudited security votes and constituency allowance to policing your corridors and forests. Let the airforce bomb them and put your rangers in the forests. Issue an ultimatum for those in the forests to leave

You are all living in a dream if you think the current police structure will become efficient overnight.
Budget, Personnel, Technology, Equipment, Surveillance..It's impossible.
Form your state and community police and flush out the terrorists.

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party
The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.
