Yet the world needs peace, not wars.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, the United States exerts influence across nearly every country\u2014through governments, politicians, generals, journalists, judges, bureaucrats, and even organizations operating under the banner of human rights.<\/p>\n<p>USAID funds flow in the name of welfare and development, while covert operations are conducted through intelligence agencies, and policies are enforced to serve strategic interests. Russia seeks control over Ukraine; China maintains control over parts of Kashmir and presses its claim on Taiwan; Pakistan and India remain locked over Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>Truly civilized nations\u2014those that refrain from interference\u2014are few. Even they are often entangled through NATO arrangements. In Africa, powerful states prey on weaker nations, plundering resources and committing mass atrocities, as seen in Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>Afghanistan endured devastation as NATO forces, led by the United States, pursued strategic interests tied to oil and gas. Both Afghanistan and the intervening powers suffered immense losses\u2014until the intervention ended through the determined efforts of Imran Khan, a statesman whose role in facilitating dialogue led to a withdrawal acknowledged and appreciated by then U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Lb4ASoBVqh\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/the-wife-of-pakistans-former-prime-minister-imran-khan-is-being-held-in-conditions-that-could-pose-a-serious-risk-to-her-physical-and-mental-health-a-un-expert-warns\/\">The wife of Pakistan\u2019s former prime minister Imran Khan is being held in conditions that could pose a serious risk to her physical and mental health, a UN expert warns<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;The wife of Pakistan\u2019s former prime minister Imran Khan is being held in conditions that could pose a serious risk to her physical and mental health, a UN expert warns&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/the-wife-of-pakistans-former-prime-minister-imran-khan-is-being-held-in-conditions-that-could-pose-a-serious-risk-to-her-physical-and-mental-health-a-un-expert-warns\/embed\/#?secret=i75E7Y4t3v#?secret=Lb4ASoBVqh\" data-secret=\"Lb4ASoBVqh\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In Asia, Pakistan\u2019s establishment has long been accused of safeguarding American interests. Imran Khan charted a different course. He engaged the United States in dialogue over Afghanistan and, at Washington\u2019s own request, facilitated its exit from the region.<\/p>\n<p>When Imran Khan sought to trade oil with Russia in local currencies instead of the U.S. dollar, the move was met with fierce opposition from Washington. A threatening diplomatic cable followed. Soon after, favored generals and politicians were rallied, public mandate was overturned, and a no-confidence motion removed him from office.<\/p>\n<p>What followed was relentless persecution: multiple assassination attempts\u2014three to four by credible counts\u2014from which Imran Khan survived by divine grace; the imposition of over 300 allegedly fabricated cases; imprisonment under harsh and humiliating conditions; and trials conducted behind bars, evoking comparisons with Guantanamo Bay. Power was transferred to a coalition formed under what critics describe as a \u201cLondon Plan,\u201d installing discredited political elites despite their record of corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the world has changed. Whether it is Israeli aggression in Gaza or pressure on Venezuela, global public opinion has erupted. Millions have protested in New York, across Europe, and worldwide. Similarly, mass demonstrations in support of Imran Khan have continued across the globe. Despite this, global powers remain unmoved.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"cwt3HHeH41\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/imran-khan-09-may-guilty-not-guilty-a-judge-comes-clear-opinion-saeed-a-malik\/\">Imran Khan \/ 09 May &#8211; Guilty ? not Guilty &#8211; A Judge Comes Clear &#8211; Opinion Saeed A.

He remains, in the eyes of millions, Pakistan\u2019s true and elected Prime Minister.<\/p>\n<p>Imran Khan is a singular global figure\u2014a leader whose words resonate across capitals, whose voice commands attention from heads of state worldwide. He has consistently shown a willingness to forgive, to seek reconciliation rather than revenge, and to pursue relations based on equality and mutual respect. He does not seek confrontation with global powers; he seeks principled dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>There is no other leader today with the moral authority, popular legitimacy, and diplomatic reach to engage the United States, Russia, China, Europe, the Muslim world, Israel, India, and developing nations alike\u2014bringing them to the table and keeping them within the bounds of international norms. Imran Khan\u2019s leadership offers a credible path to de-escalation and global peace.<\/p>\n<p>The international community must recognize this reality. Imran Khan should be released immediately, provided full security, restored his democratic mandate, and empowered to lead. He is not merely a Pakistani leader; he is a global statesman at a time when the world teeters on the brink of a third world war.<\/p>\n<p>Humanity urgently needs a serious, credible, and visionary leader to initiate meaningful dialogue among rival powers. That leader is Imran Khan. For the sake of Pakistan\u2014and for global peace\u2014the world must act before the fires it has ignited consume us all.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"wAEx1fqdxg\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-dec-2025\/\">Pakistan in the World &#8211; Dec 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Pakistan in the World &#8211; Dec 2025&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-dec-2025\/embed\/#?secret=Sl0DbLmaFb#?secret=wAEx1fqdxg\" data-secret=\"wAEx1fqdxg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By Imran Chaudhry Power intoxicates\u2014and history offers no shortage of proof.
