The New World Disorder

 By Zohaib Ahmed | 17th October 2025 Executive Summary Pakistan’s undersea fleet, once built around the French-origin Agosta-70 and Agosta-90B (Khalid-class) submarines, is now transitioning toward a new generation of Hangor-class diesel-electric attack submarines . The Hangor-class — an export derivative of China’s Type 039A Yuan-class — represents the largest single defense deal between Islamabad and Beijing, signed in 2015. By 2030 the Pakistan Navy (PN) must convert the Hangor-class programme and its associated technology-transfer (ToT) into not just a fleet expansion, but the foundation of a domestic submarine-industrial complex and a doctrinal shift toward persistent, stealthy sea denial. The Hangor-class (Yuan-derivative) submarines — AIP-equipped, modular and export-proven — are Pakistan’s asymmetric trump card in the northern Arabian Sea. Pakistan should mass-produce, iterate, and “weaponize” the platform the way it did the JF-17: standardize the baseline, absorb ToT,...

 By Zohaib Ahmed | 17th October 2025 Introduction: Beyond the Border of Myths Let’s be clear, the Durand Line is not some arbitrary line drawn on a colonial map. It is a legally recognized international boundary , established through the Durand Line Agreement of 1893 , signed between Sir Mortimer Durand on behalf of British India and Amir Abdur Rahman Khan , the ruler of Afghanistan. This line, spanning 2,640 kilometers, defined spheres of influence and marked Afghanistan’s eastern frontier, just as similar boundary commissions defined its borders with Iran (1872–76) , Russia (1885–88) , and China (1895) . Yet, curiously, only one border, with Pakistan, is rejected by successive Afghan governments. That’s not history. That’s political selectivity. Background: aistorically, Afghanistan served as the crucial buffer zone between two colossal empires, the British and the Russian. Throughout the 19th century, the region became the epicenter of “The Great Game,” a silent but deadly co...

  By Zohaib Ahmed | The New World Disorder | 9th October 2025 📍 “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!” — Trump, announcing what he calls an “Everlasting Peace.” “All of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace.” — Donald J. Trump, announcing Phase One “We continue to say that the occupation must abide by what was agreed upon, and we call on the mediators to work to oblige it.” — Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem, accusing Israel of delay tactics These statements define the surface of the deal. They sound clear and optimistic. But the real structure lies underneath — in the conditions, in what remains unsaid, and in how power moves behind the curtain. What Was Finally Agreed Egyptian sources describe the deal as containing three core elements: A complete ceasefire. Israel’s gradual withdrawal from 70 percent of Gaza. A simultaneous prisoner and hostage ex...

 By Zohaib Ahmed | 30th September 2025 This is blunt, hard-edged, and without euphemism: the White House 20/21-point plan to end the Gaza war is a temporary pragmatic option — but it is also a trap if Muslim guarantors, including Pakistan, fail to read its mechanics, prepare for Israel’s likely backtrack, and insist on enforceable guarantees. From Islamabad’s vantage point, the risks are existential: diplomatic humiliation, domestic political blowback, and the erosion of Pakistan’s moral authority in the Muslim world. Below I lay out why the design of the plan creates structural traps, why Israel’s history makes compliance unlikely, why Tony Blair must be excluded, how Palestinians must remain center-stage, whether this is “Oslo 2.0,” and what Pakistan must demand — without sugarcoating anything. Executive Summary — The Two Faces of the Plan The White House’s 20-point plan offers Gaza a ceasefire, hostage returns, mass prisoner releases, amnesty for Hamas cadres who disarm, massi...
