Pakistan militancy

So far in November, Pakistan has suffered around 89 terrorist attacks, including five suicide bombings, which left 298 people dead.

A proposed China-Pakistan anti-terrorism cooperation agreement envisages the establishment of a joint security company to safeguard Chinese citizens.

By sending its top army official to Pakistan on the anniversary of a prominent separatist leader's death, China risks inadvertently fanning the flames of anti-China resentment in Balochistan.

Gunmen killed 31 people in two separate attacks, while security forces killed 12 insurgents.

A new wave of militancy threatens the next phase of CPEC – and potentially the China-Pakistan relationship.

Ethnic separatists have recently launched a series of targeted attacks on Chinese citizens living in Pakistan, with the latest murder happening in Karachi on September 28.

Given Pakistan's lax approach to religious extremist groups, it was only a matter of time before IS reared its ugly head.

After the Balochistan Nationalist Army claimed the attacks, Islamabad pointed an accusing finger at Afghanistan and India.

Pakistan cannot stay on a war footing forever. It's time to give peace a chance – but Pakistan must do it the right way.

After a few years of relative peace, militant groups are on the rise again – and at a dangerous time for Pakistan.
