Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad: Evaluating the grains & gauging the challenges aheadipipk
Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad was launched in 2017 as Pakistan's most comprehensive counterterrorism operation, including both military and civilian components. While the military achieved successes in kinetic operations, the civilian government lagged in implementing its responsibilities. In particular, the National Action Plan (NAP) aimed to guide the operation but still has shortcomings and parts that have been left untouched or given less consideration. Recent government efforts have shown willingness to address gaps in NAP implementation, but sustained action will be needed to fully address extremism challenges in Pakistan.
Terrorism has significantly impacted Pakistan's economy in several ways. Pakistan has spent over $20 billion on the war on terror, which has reduced funds available for development projects and increased poverty levels. Terrorism has also reduced foreign investment and tourism. Multiple terrorist attacks, such as the attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team and Peshawar school, have further damaged Pakistan's economy and security situation. The Pakistani military launched Operation Zarb-e-Azb in 2014 in an effort to curb terrorism, which has led to declining terrorist attacks since. Improving security, community engagement, and international cooperation are keys to controlling terrorism long term.
Pak-National Security: Internal and External dimensionsDr Shahzad Aslam
The document outlines the composition and agenda of working groups formed as part of a national security workshop in Pakistan. It discusses increasing militarization of internal security and its implications. The working groups will evaluate issues such as the impact of militarization, devising border security strategies, and handling proscribed organizations. They will propose recommendations to strengthen civilian law enforcement and reduce excessive reliance on armed forces for domestic security matters.
This document discusses the causes and effects of terrorism in Pakistan. It begins by defining terrorism and outlines key events like 9/11 that increased terrorism. It then discusses the political, external, socio-economic, and religious causes of terrorism in Pakistan. The effects of terrorism on Pakistan are outlined, including significant loss of life and economic impacts. The document also discusses steps Pakistan has taken to counter terrorism and proposes ways to further reduce terrorism.
The document provides an overview of terrorism, including definitions, causes, impacts, rates according to the Global Terrorism Index, reasons why people become terrorists, and examples of terrorist attacks in Pakistan, Syria, and the US. It discusses the Peshawar school attack in Pakistan in detail and provides counterterrorism recommendations such as education, understanding cultural differences, eliminating root causes, and being prepared in emergency situations. The conclusion argues that captured terrorists should be tried in criminal rather than military courts.
CTP’s Threat Updateseries is a weekly update and assessment of the al Qaeda network. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
The document discusses the history and effects of terrorism in Pakistan. It begins with the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, which led to millions of refugees fleeing to Pakistan. After the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001, terrorism increased in Pakistan. Drone strikes by the US have killed thousands of Pakistani civilians and fuelled terrorism. The economy has suffered enormously from the costs of fighting terrorism. Sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shias has also increased. The government is trying to negotiate with terrorist groups but the drone strikes undermine peace efforts. Overall, the document analyzes how terrorism has negatively impacted Pakistan's security, politics, economy and society.

1) Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott warns that the ISIS militant group must be defeated because as long as people remain susceptible to its message, more and worse terrorist attacks can be expected.
2) Abbott stresses that ISIS cannot be contained and must be defeated, calling it a "deadly enemy" seeking to establish a foothold in Southeast Asia.
3) Abbott signed a strategic partnership with Singapore and praised Singapore's willingness to join an international coalition against ISIS, while both countries share a commitment to upholding security and freedom.

CTP’s Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of the al Qaeda network. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
Below are the top three takeaways from the week:
1. Libyan National Army (LNA) commander Khalifa Haftar is using military force to secure his power at the expense of political resolution in Libya. Pro-Haftar forces stormed the headquarters of a constitutional drafting body in eastern Libya on July 20 and demanded the abandonment of a draft constitution that barred Haftar from running for president in 2018. Haftar’s rise as a strongman may stabilize Libya in the near term, but it will exacerbate the grievances that drive the civil war and galvanize support for Salafi-jihadi groups like al Qaeda and ISIS.
2. The U.S. is attempting to divide the al Houthi-Saleh bloc in order to reduce Iranian influence in Yemen and revive the UN peace process. U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Matthew Tueller began the diplomatic effort by praising former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh’s cooperation with a UN plan and criticizing the al Houthi faction for impeding negotiations. Elite-level diplomatic engagement is unlikely to progress, however, as long as the military situation on the ground remains stalemated.
3. Political violence is surging in Kenya before general elections on August 8. Recent incidents include the murder of a senior election official and an attack on the home of the Deputy President, as well as accusations of election rigging. Civil unrest in Kenya will strain Kenyan security forces and provide opportunities for al Shabaab to expand in eastern Kenya and southern Somalia, where Kenyan forces play a major role.
CTP's Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of the al Qaeda network, including its affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, the Maghreb, and the Sahel.
This document discusses the history and causes of terrorism in multiple contexts:
1) It provides definitions of terrorism and traces its origins back to Latin and French revolutionary periods. Different waves of terrorism are described from the late 19th century through modern times.
2) Terrorism in Pakistan is discussed, tracing its roots to support for the Soviet-Afghan war and subsequent civil war. Over 35,000 Pakistanis have been killed by terrorist attacks since 2001.
3) Causes of terrorism in Pakistan include the foreign fighters who remained after the Soviet-Afghan war, sectarian violence, availability of weapons, and regional rivalries. The political situation in Pakistan is also cited as a contributing factor.
This document discusses the causes and effects of terrorism in Pakistan. It identifies several root causes, including Pakistan's involvement in the US war against the Soviet Union which led to extremism, drone attacks by the US, and foreign interference from intelligence agencies like the CIA. Terrorism has had severe economic and human impacts, resulting in over 22,000 civilian deaths and damage to Pakistan's economy. The government has implemented measures like the National Action Plan to crack down on terrorist financing and arrests, and operations in Karachi have targeted militant groups. Ending foreign interference and building trust between allies is seen as important to fully addressing the issue of terrorism in Pakistan.

Terrorism is a major issue plaguing Pakistan. There are two broad categories of terrorism - internal and external. Internally, banned organizations like the Pakistani Taliban carry out attacks against civilians and infrastructure. Separatist groups in Balochistan also engage in terrorism. Externally, high profile attacks against leaders and military sites are often state sponsored. Terrorism has negatively impacted Pakistan's security, economy and tourism. The government has taken steps like military operations and madrassa reforms to counter terrorism, but more work is needed to solve the underlying political, economic and social issues fueling extremism.
Internal security and defence of pakistanNabeel Khalid
Internal security involves keeping peace within a country's borders through law enforcement and defense against internal threats such as terrorism, extremism, and sectarianism. A roadmap for Pakistan's internal security includes regularly discussing challenges, strengthening the National Counter Terrorism Authority, improving intelligence coordination, creating counterterrorism forces, and enhancing the roles of police, investigations, the judiciary, and media. Key agencies involved are the Defense and Interior Ministries, along with the military, paramilitary, and intelligence organizations under them.
This document contains a summary of Syed Mahmood Ul HASSAN's career experience and qualifications. He has over 32 years of experience in strategic planning, risk analysis, project management, and human resources. Currently, he works as the Regional Director of the Anti-Narcotics Force in Punjab, Pakistan, where he is responsible for implementing anti-narcotics strategies and operations. Previously, he held roles as the Director of the National Defence University of Pakistan and Deputy Military Secretary to the President of Pakistan. He has extensive military experience and education in areas such as conflict management, international relations, and security operations.

CTP’s Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of the al Qaeda network. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
Below are the top three takeaways from the week:
1. A Libyan militia freed Saif al Islam al Qaddafi, the favored son of deceased Libyan dictator Muammar al Qaddafi, on June 9. Saif al Islam’s release coincides with increasingly visible activity by Qaddafi-era figures, as well as strategic advances by the Libyan National Army led by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar. These conditions threaten many Libyan stakeholders, especially political Islamists, who fear that Haftar will bring about the return of the regime. This fear strengthens hardline militias and Salafi-jihadi groups, particularly al Qaeda and its associates.
2. The current U.S. counterterrorism strategy in Somalia is unlikely to address the long-term threat posed by al Shabaab. U.S. Africa Command conducted an airstrike on an al Shabaab site in southern Somalia in response to attacks on Somali and African Union peacekeeping troops, which began an operation to degrade al Shabaab’s strongholds in southern Somalia this week. Al Shabaab displayed strength on multiple fronts, however. The group resurged in northern Somalia, where it seized a town, and continued campaigns to counter the Kenyan intervention in Somalia and degrade security in Mogadishu.
3. Al Qaeda emir Ayman al Zawahiri characterized the Muslim world as fighting a single war on many fronts. He called for the unity of the umma, or Muslim community, against external foes, reiterating a theme emphasized by al Qaeda clerics and leadership. Zawahiri’s statement reflects al Qaeda’s efforts to influence Salafi-jihadi groups in Syria, Yemen, and other conflict zones throughout the Muslim-majority world.
Pakistan has played a key role in supporting the US war on terror by providing military bases and supply routes for over 75% of US and NATO supplies. However, the war has come at a huge cost to Pakistan with over 80,000 civilians and 4,795 soldiers killed and $68 billion in economic losses. In response, Pakistan has undertaken military operations like Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan and Karachi operations to crackdown on terrorist groups and over 20,000 terrorists have been killed. Pakistan's future strategy includes strengthening security forces and establishing domestic defense production to better combat terrorism within its borders.

The document summarizes Pakistan's National Action Plan created in response to the 2014 terrorist attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar. The plan included executing convicted terrorists, establishing military courts for terrorism trials, cracking down on terrorist financing, reforming madrassas, and strengthening military operations against terrorists. The objective of the plan was to eliminate terrorism from Pakistan and create a safer country. The government and military leaders expressed their commitment to fully implementing the National Action Plan to defeat terrorism.
Terrorism is defined as the use or threat of serious violence for political purposes. The war on terror began after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, when Pakistan became a key US ally. Terrorism in Pakistan started increasing in 1999 due to its relationship with the US and the migration of global terrorism to South Asia. Major terrorist attacks in Pakistan include the 2016 attack on Bacha Khan University, the 2014 attack on Army Public School Peshawar, and the 2017 Mall Road attack in Lahore. Terrorist groups operating in Pakistan include sectarian, anti-Indian, Afghan Taliban, al-Qaeda affiliates, and the Pakistani Taliban. While Pakistan has downplayed reports of ISIS influence, authorities have acknowledged an emerging ISIS
Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad: Evaluating the gains & gauging the challenges aheadipipk
Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad was launched in 2017 as part of Pakistan's ongoing war on terror to consolidate gains and eliminate remaining terrorist threats. It included both military and civilian strategies. While the military operations achieved successes, the civilian government lagged in implementing its responsibilities. In particular, the National Action Plan aimed at countering extremism was not fully and consistently implemented. Recent government efforts have shown willingness to address shortcomings, but the effectiveness remains to be seen with time.
This document provides an overview of Pakistan's foreign policy from 1947 to 2004. It outlines the major phases and developments in Pakistan's foreign policy over this period. The first phase from 1947-1953 focused on establishing foundations of foreign policy and cultivating relations with all countries while dealing with security issues related to India and Afghanistan. Subsequent phases saw Pakistan align with the West during the Cold War, pursue non-alignment in the 1960s-1970s, partner with the US on Afghanistan in the 1980s, and address regional issues and counterterrorism after the Cold War and post-9/11.
Terrorism is a major issue in Pakistan. There are two broad categories of terrorism - internal and external. Internally, banned organizations like the Pakistani Taliban carry out attacks against civilians and infrastructure. Separatist groups in Balochistan also engage in terrorism. Externally, high profile attacks against leaders and military sites are often sponsored by foreign states seeking to destabilize Pakistan. Terrorism has had huge economic and social costs for Pakistan through decreased investment and tourism. The government has taken steps to curb it like military operations and madrassa reforms, but terrorism remains a severe threat to Pakistan's stability.
Operation Zarb-e-Azb was a large-scale military operation launched by the Pakistani military in June 2014 against militant groups in North Waziristan. The operation aimed to eliminate terrorists including the TTP, al-Qaeda, and the Haqqani network. Over 30,000 soldiers were deployed and over 2,700 terrorists were killed. While the operation was largely successful in eliminating militants and improving security, it also led to retaliatory terrorist attacks including the deadly Peshawar school attack in December 2014 that killed 145 people.

The long-term goal of the operation is to clear Pakistan of terrorism and ensure national security and stability.
The document summarizes election results in Kazakhstan and discussions between government officials. It reports that:
1) Kazakhstan's ruling Nur Otan party won 82.15% of votes in recent parliamentary elections, with three parties surpassing the 7% threshold to gain seats. International observers deemed the process efficient with some democratic progress.
2) The Kazakh foreign minister discussed Kazakhstan's bid for a UN Security Council seat and role in resolving tensions between Russia and Turkey. He also defended recent economic policies regarding currency fluctuations and banking oversight.

This document discusses strategies for preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) in Georgia. It summarizes perspectives on defining and approaching CVE work from experts in the field. Key approaches mentioned include countering extremist narratives, empowering community leaders and civil society, engaging youth, and using social media to promote positive alternative narratives. The document also examines challenges related to tensions between religious groups in Georgia and lack of opportunities for Islamic education that have allowed more conservative interpretations of Islam to spread.
Pakistan has pursued different foreign policy approaches throughout its history based on changing geopolitical circumstances.
