Pakistan's Military Faces Multiple Insurgencies Amid Growing Power of General Munir

Pakistan's Military Faces Multiple Insurgencies Amid Growing Power of General MunirPreviousNext

Pakistan's military, led by General Asim Munir, faces multiple challenges including insurgencies in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where armed groups have intensified attacks. Munir holds significant authority over the armed forces and internal security, with some observers suggesting his growing power could lead to a coup. Meanwhile, Pakistan grapples with economic difficulties and regional instability, while the civilian government appears limited in influence amid ongoing security and governance issues.
