Given the backdrop of the perceived unwinnable nature of war, can peace be achieved in Sudan? Therefore, the high-level panel has suggested the need for new negotiations in which all key players can come together to broker peace in Sudan. UAE’s recent $35 billion financial aid package to Egypt could indicate improving bilateral relations and a possible channel for peace in Sudan. On the other hand, if negotiations succeed, Sudan could mirror Libya’s predicament with rival factions vying for governance. The Sudanese conflict is, therefore, more complex than superficial observations suggest.

Since the return of Taliban in Kabul in August 2021, the number of terrorist attacks has only gone up, much to the dismay of Islamabad. The first five months of this year saw 83 per cent increase in terrorist attacks, forcing authorities to launch a fresh campaign against militant groups. Sources added that Pakistan will also seek China's help in persuading the Afghan Taliban to review their strategy regarding the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Sources said China has stakes in the security of Pakistan as increased terrorist attacks have impeded its investment.

According to Paula Sánchez-Sáez of the European Southern Observatory, the galaxy SDSS1335+0728 hosts a massive dormant black hole at its center. The flare is theorized to be caused by the black hole awakening from dormancy and devouring surrounding gas, which heats up intensely before falling into the black hole. This phenomenon, if confirmed, would mark the first direct observation of a black hole transitioning from a dormant state to an active phase. The black hole in question is significantly larger than our Sun, and had been dormant for at least two decades before the flare event in 2019. The ongoing four-year flare suggests an unusual event, possibly involving the shredding of a star that ventured too close to the black hole.

Pakistan, he said, has repeatedly conveyed to the Taliban -- at very senior levels -- to act decisively to end TTP’s attacks, disarm its fighters, capture and hand over the terrorist group’s fighters to Pakistan.

A colossal share of the defence budget and income from Fauji Foundation’s organizations is utilized for the welfare of troops and Shuhadas Families.
