Excellent work Murtaza, Ryan, and Waqas. This puts the lie to the long-standing claim of the United States (and the EU) that they believe in promoting democracy and open societies across the world. That's hogwash.

The Biden administration engineered the removal of Pakistan's greatest leader -- committed to ethics, transparency, and independence from the West and from its own military -- because he was not subservient enough to line up behind our misbegotten war in Ukraine, or to serve our interests at the expense of serving the needs of Pakistan's population.

Our leaders, as well as the European leaders, prefer a corrupt government in Pakistan (and elsewhere) because we can do "business" with them. Shame on us.

Excellent reporting. I hope this honest reporting will embarrass all the parties ( countries, governments, organizations) involved and make Pakistani military realize how much damage they have done to the people and country of Pakistan .

People are not stupid or "the thruth wins out". Not only is a corrupt government exposed but the reasons why are highlighted by information on why the corruption and collusion of other nations that were involved, caused the problem. The problem and the poision of corruption is that it harms both the perpetrators and those it seeks to manipulate, harm or control. Both lose, some at once, and all lose, eventually. The real harm comes from the loss of trust and helpful resources that are badly needed for positive growth, unity and strategies that help solve "real" problems, like climate change.

Congratulations Murtaza, Ryan & Waqas. Great article. The work you all are doing brings hope for truth & justice in a world full of dishonesty & unfairness for ordinary people. Truth succeeds! Pakistanis stand proud of their continued struggle for equality, justice and rule of law under the leadership of Imran Khan who is being kept under illegal incarceration by the same people/organisations/governments you have identified for the suppression of the election report. Thank you for your support . Keep up the good work.
