GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
Sub-Continent was divided on the basis of Muslim and Hindu majorities
Geographically our location is quite important
Center of the third world countries
Warm waters and trade routes
Sharing borders with Iran, Afghanistan, China and India
BACKGROUND The geographical location of
Pakistan has strategic significance Since 1947 we were inclined towards
USA and West Pakistan became victim of terrorism
during 60’s and intensified during 1971
USSR, one of the super powers prior to 1980
Remained greedy to reach the warm waters
The next thing was spreading Communism
A system in which all the property belongs to the class less society rather than the individual citizens
SOVIET-AFGHAN WAR
December 1979, Red Army invaded Afghanistan
1980, Babrak Karmal installed as ruler, backed by Soviet troops
1980, anti-regime resistance intensified along with assistance of Mujahidin groups as backed by Pakistan, USA, China, Iran and Saudi Arabia
1985, Mujahedeen joined hands and formed alliance against Soviet forces under support from Pakistan
SOVIET-AFGHAN WAR
Half of the Afghans were displaced due to war and many fled to Pakistan and Iran
1986, US assisted Afghan Mujahidin through Pakistan
1986, Babrak Karmal replaced by Najibullah as head of Soviet-backed regime
1988, Afghanistan, USSR, the US und Pakistan sign peace accords at UNO
SOVIET-AFGHAN WAR
1989, Red Army quit but civil war increased
1992 Najibullah govt. toppled but civil war intensified
ROLE OF USA
USA realized the increasing strength of USSR
USA never wanted communism to spread in whole world
USA assisted Afghanistan financially and strategically
Pakistan as a bridge Role of Zia-ul-Haq Role of ISI
RISE OF AL-QAIDA
After 1992, when Red Army quit, civil war started in Afghanistan
Mullah Omer rose and ruled Afghanistan and imposed Islamic law
In 1993, name of Al-Qaida appeared with purpose of assisting aggrieved Muslims
Headed by Osama Bin Laden USA openly opposed Al-
Qaida and threatened Afghanistan
Mullah Omer rejected the American demands, being unjustified
Al-Qaida responded tit for tat to USA
MUSHARRAF ERA
General Musharraf toppled a democratic government and became head of the state in 1999
Voiced for Enlightened Modernization
Announced full support to USA after 9/11
Apparently made 180 turn from previous policies about Taliban
The Gorilla war was taken inside Pakistan by so called Taliban and caused terrorism due to Musharraf policies
The deteriorating law and order situation became worsened due to interference by CIA/KGB and RAW etc
US INVASION
2001, Coalition forces led by USA invaded Afghanistan
Turkey was the only Islamic country among the coalition nations
Many religious groups stood against the invasion
Mujahidin groups migrated to Afghanistan from all over the world
Mullah Omer and Osama fled to far mountainous region and fueled Gorilla war
PPP THIRD TERM
2008 saw departure of Musharraf and third term of PPP in the Government
Desire for command and poor economic situation forced PPP Govt to continue Musharraf policies
Above situation coupled with interference by our enemies intensified and spread terrorism and the whole Pakistan became the victim
CONCLUSION
War on Terror has probably benefited very few but Pakistan lost thousand of lives (military/civil)
Our economy suffered by billions The so called “Taliban” inflicted
bad name to our beloved religion, Islam
Law and order situation became worst and despite appreciation about geostrategic location, Pakistan went in isolation
