While rain has majorly headlined the proceedings, a video of Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, reportedly from Sunday, has also taken internet by storm.

Went to a mall in #India today. While @dohappybelove was trying something on, a male shop attendant told me to sit on a bench. He comes over to me and (almost) conspiritorially shows me his phone where he was watching the #cricket match between India and #Pakistan today. He point at the score and then looks to the sky in prayer. He then points out that the match is paused due to rain, and looked at me nervous. All of this is shared without a word.

An #Afghan #refugee arrives in #Quetta, #Pakistan. Like 34 other women, she had to flee the #Taliban regime to stay safe, 2001 - by Alexandra Boulat (1962 – 2007), French :antifa_100:

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called for limits to freedom of speech and expression, castigating “merchants of chaos” and “provocateurs.” The remarks came during a two-day session on “countering religious hatred constituting incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence” – actually an urgent meeting called by the body on behalf of #Pakistan over a recent spate of Qur’an burnings in Europe.

Things are really bad in #Pakistan for the non-rich right now.

I don't have the expertise to lay blame, but it sure looks like the #IMF and forced #austerity are major contributors.

"We are forced to ration the use of our fan. We sleep in one room and we switch off the fridge at night. I don’t have a TV in my house any more.”

I am not surprised #Russia 🇷🇺 is buying munitions from #NorthKorea 🇰🇵 (as North Korea 🇰🇵 is one of the few places who will sell in bulk).

I am surprised to learn that #Pakistan 🇵🇰 helped North Korea 🇰🇵 create nuclear weapons in the past & that #Putin’s move to embrace North Korea is unpopular in Russia 🇷🇺.

But now, things are changing.

"#India and #Russia are Cold War-era partners. After mediating peace between India and #Pakistan to end their 1965 war, the Soviet Union deployed cruisers and destroyers in New Delhi’s defence after the #UnitedStates sent a threatening warship into the #BayOfBengal during the 1971 war between the South Asian neighbours." #Ukraine

Asoka's commitment to spreading these policies across his empire is considered to be borne from his experience of the Kalinga war in Orissa, where he was horrified at the destruction caused by his own army. Do you think these rock edicts were a good way to popularise his beliefs?

For #Pakistan's establishment, Imran Khan's greatest crime is that he actually tried to use his powers as a democratically-elected PM in a manner the establishment have always sought to limit+constrain, and that thousands of Pakistanis were ready to support him against them..." https://nitter.net/search?q=%23Pakistan
