Kyrgyz President Sadyr Zhaparov Begins State Visit to Tajikistan

Dushanbe, July 8, 2025 — President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Zhaparov has arrived in Tajikistan for a two-day state visit, aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation and fostering regional dialogue. He was received at Dushanbe International Airport by President Emomali Rahmon, in a gesture underscoring the significance of the visit.

The two leaders exchanged brief remarks at the airport, expressing their shared optimism that this visit would "open a new page" in the history of Kyrgyz-Tajik relations, which have experienced challenges in recent years, particularly over border tensions.

Shortly after arrival, President Zhaparov visited Dusti Square, where he laid a wreath at the monument of Ismaili Somoni, founder of the first Tajik state — a symbolic act underscoring respect for Tajikistan’s cultural and historical heritage.

Over the course of July 8–9, the Kyrgyz President is scheduled to:

- Hold official bilateral talks with President Rahmon

- Sign cooperation agreements in areas including trade, transport, border management, and culture

- Participate in economic forums and cultural programs

- Engage in efforts aimed at boosting confidence-building measures between the two neighbors

This visit is expected to mark a turning point in regional diplomacy, especially in light of past clashes along the disputed Kyrgyz-Tajik border. Both governments have signaled their intent to move toward peaceful resolution, sustainable development, and greater regional integration.

Zebak, Badakhshan (Afghanistan) – July 4, 2025:

In a deeply troubling incident, Fazal Ahmad Paiz, the local head of religious affairs for the Aga Khan Foundation in Zebak district of Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province, was shot and killed by unidentified armed men on Friday evening.

According to eyewitnesses, the attackers stormed his house, forcibly dragged him outside, and executed him at point-blank range. Images received by Afghanistan International show his bloodied body lying outside his home, highlighting the brutality of the attack.

❖ 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐧’𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞:

Despite the gravity of the incident, Taliban authorities have remained completely silent, offering no official statement or acknowledgment of the killing. Their ongoing silence has sparked outrage and fear among the local Ismaili community, who already feel increasingly vulnerable under Taliban rule.

This killing is not an isolated event but part of an ongoing series of targeted attacks against members of the Ismaili community. A similar incident occurred in 2024, when another Ismaili figure was assassinated in the same district.

Reports from multiple international human rights organizations have raised alarms:

While it is still unclear who was behind the killing of Fazal Ahmad Paiz—Taliban, ISIS-K, or rogue militants—the risks for religious minorities are undeniably escalating.

In light of such events, international human rights bodies and Afghan civil society have urgently called for protection of religious minorities in Afghanistan. The targeting of individuals associated with organizations like the Aga Khan Foundation highlights a growing threat of sectarian persecution under both Taliban rule and extremist groups.

The assassination of Fazal Ahmad Paiz is not just the murder of an individual—it is a symbolic act of silencing a community already under immense pressure. Both the Afghan authorities and the international community must respond with concrete actions to safeguard the fundamental rights and lives of Afghanistan’s religious minorities.

Rawalpindi, 07 July 2025 – The Armed Forces of Pakistan, under the leadership of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, NI (M), Chief of Army Staff and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, solemnly observed the martyrdom anniversary of Havildar Lalak Jan Shaheed, Nishan-e-Haider, who embraced martyrdom during the Kargil War of 1999 while defending the motherland with unmatched courage and determination.

Born in Yasin Valley, Ghizer District of Gilgit-Baltistan on April 1, 1967, Lalak Jan joined the Northern Light Infantry (NLI) and rose through the ranks with professionalism and valour. During the Kargil conflict, he voluntarily moved to the frontlines and was stationed at one of the most critical posts.

On 7 July 1999, Havildar Lalak Jan came under heavy enemy attack. Despite sustaining multiple serious injuries, he refused evacuation, continued to fight with sheer resolve, and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. He ultimately laid down his life in defence of the nation. For his exceptional bravery and sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded Nishan-e-Haider, Pakistan’s highest military gallantry award.

The ISPR in its statement noted that the entire nation and the armed forces pay rich tribute to his heroism. His courage continues to serve as an inspiration for generations of Pakistan Army personnel. The Armed Forces reaffirm their commitment to uphold the legacy of the Shuhada and defend the motherland with honour, loyalty, and courage.

Khunjerav, Gojal–Hunza | July 6, 2025

A rare Himalayan brown bear was sighted this week near Khunjerav Top — one of the world’s highest border crossings, located in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region. The sighting was captured on video by local traveler Aziz Sadiq and has since gone viral across social media platforms, sparking renewed interest in Pakistan’s alpine wildlife.

This high-altitude encounter is considered a significant event by wildlife experts, as the Himalayan brown bear (Ursus arctos isabellinus) is among the most endangered bear subspecies in the world. The species is native to the mountainous regions of northern Pakistan, particularly in the Khunjerav National Park, Deosai Plateau, and parts of Astore and Nanga Parbat.

According to environmental experts, the sighted bear may be one of the two individuals that were reintroduced into Khunjerav National Park in 2017 as part of a conservation initiative led by Bears in Mind (Netherlands) and the Himalayan Wildlife Foundation. These efforts aim to restore and stabilize the dwindling population of Himalayan brown bears, which has been facing severe threats from habitat degradation, human–wildlife conflict, and poaching.

“Sightings like this are a strong indicator of successful conservation programs and habitat recovery in the region,” said a representative from the Snow Leopard Foundation, which also monitors bear activity in the region using camera traps and DNA sampling.

Local residents in Upper Hunza have reported occasional sightings of brown bears in the past, particularly near Passu and Shimshal villages. However, seeing a bear at such a high elevation — near Khunjerav Top, which sits at over 15,000 feet above sea level — remains a rare and noteworthy occurrence.

Wildlife experts continue to urge visitors and local communities to report such sightings responsibly, and refrain from approaching or disturbing wild animals, especially during summer months when bears descend to forage for food.

The sighting also highlights the ecological importance of Khunjerav National Park, which serves as a crucial sanctuary for high-altitude wildlife, including the snow leopard, Tibetan wolf, ibex, and now — a recovering population of the Himalayan brown bear.

Gilgit, July 6, 2025 — In an unprecedented weather event, the town of Bunji, located in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region, recorded an all-time high temperature of 46.1°C, surpassing the previous record of 45.6°C set on July 12, 1971, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).

Meanwhile, the nearby city of Chilas, known for its typically warm climate, experienced a scorching 48°C today. The extreme heat forced most residents indoors. Markets, usually bustling with thousands of shoppers, appeared completely deserted. Apart from a handful of individuals, no one was seen on the streets, and a haunting silence gripped the city.

Meteorologists have attributed this extreme heatwave to climate change, warning that such events are no longer rare anomalies but part of an escalating global crisis. Experts caution that increasing temperatures in northern mountainous regions pose serious risks to public health, agriculture, glacial systems, and water security.

The PMD has advised residents to avoid direct sunlight, stay hydrated, and take all necessary precautions to prevent heatstroke and related health issues.

Moscow, July 3, 2025 — In a landmark diplomatic shift, the Russian Federation has formally recognized the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan, becoming the first nation to do so since the group assumed control in August 2021. The decision was confirmed following Russia’s acceptance of the credentials of Jamal Nasir Gharwal, the Taliban-appointed ambassador to Moscow.

Russia's Foreign Ministry stated that the move reflects “the need for practical engagement with the current de facto authorities in Kabul,” highlighting growing regional security concerns and the importance of political normalization.

The formal recognition follows Moscow’s legislative move in April 2025 to remove the Taliban from its list of banned terrorist organizations, signaling a significant departure from past policy. The Taliban had been designated a terrorist group by Russia in 2003.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized the need to engage with Afghanistan to combat the threat of ISIS-K, ensure regional stability, and deepen cooperation in areas such as counter-narcotics, infrastructure development, and energy trade.

Taliban officials welcomed the move, with Afghanistan’s acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi expressing optimism that Russia’s decision would “pave the way for other countries to follow suit and end Afghanistan’s diplomatic isolation.”

While some regional states—such as China, Pakistan, Iran, and Uzbekistan—have maintained diplomatic channels with the Taliban administration, none had taken the step of formal recognition until now.

The international community has been divided on engagement with the Taliban, largely due to concerns over human rights violations, particularly the systematic restrictions on women's rights, girls' education, and political dissent.

Western governments, including the United States and European Union member states, have maintained their position that recognition will remain contingent upon the Taliban fulfilling commitments to form an inclusive government and respect human rights standards.

The United Nations has not recognized the Taliban government, and Afghanistan's seat at the UN remains held by a representative of the former government.

Analysts say Russia’s move could have wider geopolitical implications, both for Afghanistan’s economic reintegration and for shifts in power dynamics across Central and South Asia.

Klára had previously scaled the world’s two highest peaks — Mount Everest (8,848m) and K2 (8,611m) — a feat achieved by few. But her dream of conquering Nanga Parbat ended in tragedy when she reportedly fell during the climb.

Despite her vast experience and strength, the unforgiving slopes of Nanga Parbat proved fatal. Her untimely death has sent waves of grief through the global mountaineering community.

The Princess of the Mountains died doing what she loved most — chasing the clouds above the world.

Khujand, Tajikistan | July 1, 2025 — Flights between Khujand (Tajikistan) and Kashgar (People’s Republic of China) have officially resumed, according to the Tajikistan Civil Aviation Agency. The first flight on this route was operated today by Chengdu Airlines, marking a renewed air link between the two regional hubs.

The Khujand–Kashgar–Khujand service will now operate once a week, every Tuesday, with a flight duration of approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Although the Civil Aviation Agency had earlier announced the start of flights from April 15, 2025, the launch was delayed for over two months without an official explanation.

The air route was initially launched in 2024 but was subsequently suspended, with no details provided regarding the reasons behind the interruption.

The resumption of flights is expected to facilitate regional trade, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges between Tajikistan’s Sughd region and China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

Kashgar, China – July 1, 2025: A high-level delegation from the Hunza Chamber of Commerce & Industry (HCCI), led by Mr. Manzoor Alam, President of HCCI, conducted a significant trade and connectivity mission to Kashgar New City, Xinjiang, China. The delegation included prominent business leaders from various sectors across Pakistan and aimed to strengthen bilateral commercial ties under the broader framework of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Exploring the Kashgar Economic Trade Area

The mission began with a comprehensive tour of the Kashgar Economic Trade Area, where the delegates engaged with Chinese entrepreneurs and explored modern industrial facilities. Delegates observed production technologies in sectors such as electronics, light engineering, textiles, agriculture, and consumer goods. Discussions focused on potential joint ventures, knowledge exchange, and regional trade facilitation.

Inauguration of Central Asia International Bus Station

A highlight of the visit was the delegation’s participation in the Grand Opening Ceremony of the Kashgar Central Asia International Bus Station. The facility is set to launch cross-border passenger services connecting Kashgar to Sost (Pakistan) and extending into Central Asia. This initiative marks a transformative step in transregional mobility and economic integration.

President Manzoor Alam, speaking on behalf of the Pakistani delegation, called it "a historic moment in Pakistan-China connectivity," emphasizing Hunza’s strategic location as a vital corridor for trade under CPEC.

Visit to Kashgar Free Trade Zone

The delegation also visited the Cargo and Logistics Services Zone inside the Kashgar Free Trade Zone (FTZ). Delegates toured advanced freight handling terminals, bonded warehouses, cold chain logistics facilities, and customs processing units. The visit aimed to assess the feasibility of streamlined cargo movement between Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashgar, leveraging the Khunjerab Pass for future regional trade expansion.

Advancing Regional Economic Integration

This trade mission reflects HCCI’s continued efforts to promote regional trade diplomacy, strengthen logistics cooperation, and build bridges between the business communities of northern Pakistan and western China. President Alam underscored the Chamber's commitment to facilitating SMEs, youth entrepreneurship, and cross-border commercial partnerships that directly benefit the people of Gilgit-Baltistan.

Astore, Gilgit-Baltistan – June 28, 2025: A widely shared video from Gumaai, Astore, allegedly depicting a child being forced to drink urine has triggered national outrage and urgent calls for justice — while also prompting a denial from local residents, who claim the incident is being misrepresented.

The video, which surfaced on social media earlier this week, shows a distressed child and what appears to be an intervention attempt by his mother. While many interpreted the act as abusive and humiliating, residents of Gumaai have issued a formal clarification rejecting the claim.

According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan Coordinator, Israr Uddin Israr, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 — 𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 — 𝘪𝘴 “𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭” 𝘢𝘯𝘥 “𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴.”

“𝘐𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘪𝘭𝘨𝘪𝘵-𝘉𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘈𝘤𝘵 2017 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮,” said Israr.

However, a counter-narrative has emerged from within the community itself. In a written statement, residents and family members clarified that the video has been taken out of context.

They allege that the child seen in the video had earlier forced another younger child to drink urine over several days, under the guise of offering a soft drink. When the incident came to light, the community held a jirga-style meeting, where the parents of the accused child reportedly decided to punish him symbolically by making him face a similar act — as a deterrent and form of local disciplinary action.

“𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 — 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳. 𝘕𝘰 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦,” the statement said.

It further urged the public “𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵,” warning that such narratives harm the reputation of the community and undermine traditional dispute resolution.

Despite the clarification, child rights groups maintain that any form of humiliation or fear-based punishment amounts to psychological abuse, and must be discouraged — regardless of cultural justification.

Police have confirmed that a fact-finding team has been sent to the area, and an inquiry is underway. Authorities have not yet confirmed the filing of an FIR but have pledged that a transparent investigation will determine the facts.

Swat, Pakistan – June 27, 2025: A sudden flash flood in the Swat River swept away 16 members of a tourist family from Sialkot in a devastating incident that has shocked the nation. The tragedy unfolded early Friday morning as the family was having breakfast near a riverside hotel during their vacation in the scenic Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region.

Eyewitnesses report that cries for help echoed for hours, but rescue teams failed to reach the victims in time. So far, five bodies have been recovered, while search operations continue for the remaining missing persons. Local sources confirmed that all the victims belonged to a single extended family.

Heartbreaking footage of the incident—showing the moment the powerful surge engulfed the riverside structure—has gone viral on social media, drawing widespread outrage and calls for accountability.

Locals lament that the tragedy mirrors a similar flash flood disaster that struck Swat in 2022, after which authorities promised to enhance early warning systems and riverside safety protocols. However, little appears to have changed since then.

“𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯,” said a relative of the victims. “𝘐𝘧 𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘸𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘭𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘥. 𝘞𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥.”

As public grief turns into fury, noted philosopher and columnist from Gilgit-Baltistan, Aziz Ali Dad, criticized the state’s systemic failures, stating:

“In Pakistan’s elitist state structure, death keeps repeating itself in the lives of the poor and the powerless. This death is so cowardly that it doesn’t even flutter near the ruling elite. In Pakistan, even death is now subject to the will of the privileged class.”

“𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘫𝘢𝘸𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘸𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵—𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭.”

Pakistan continues to face severe monsoon-related disasters, with flash floods becoming increasingly frequent due to glacial melt and changing climate patterns. While authorities have initiated an investigation and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has pledged support for the victims' families, public anger is mounting over the recurring loss of life caused by inadequate disaster preparedness and systemic negligence.
