Afghanistan Earthquake Tragedy: Hearts Heavy as Region Mourns

A devastating earthquake has shaken eastern Afghanistan, leaving our neighboring nation in profound grief and desperate need of rescue operations. The catastrophic tremors have claimed at least 1,400 precious lives and left over 3,000 people injured across the affected regions. Families have been torn apart, communities destroyed, and countless survivors remain trapped beneath the rubble, fighting for their lives as rescue teams race against time. International Response In response to this humanitarian crisis, the United Arab Emirates has mobilized comprehensive relief efforts under the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. UAE Search and Rescue teams, alongside units from the Joint Operations Command, have been deployed to coordinate with local Afghan authorities.

Polls Close in Pakistan Amid Rigging Claims Who Will Win? Early Signs Favour of we know the name


Polls have closed across Pakistan after millions voted in the general election which was mired in controversies. The counting of votes has begun and all major news channels and analysts are predicting that Nawaz Sharif's PMLN will emerge victorious. 


PMLN is particularly popular in the pivotal province of Punjab which has the largest number of seats in the national assembly. Sharif has a strong support base in rural Punjab due to his development work and populist policies over the past terms. Analysts believe that even without Imran Khan in the race, PMLN had an edge over others due to their organizational structure and goodwill in Punjab. 


Although PPP gave a tough fight in Sindh, it does not seem they have enough national appeal to defeat PMLN. Bilawal Bhutto campaigned aggressively but the memories of previous PPP governments were not entirely positive and they were battling anti-incumbency as well in some areas. 


The disqualification of Imran Khan and banning of PTI elections symbols also hampered their ability to consolidate support. While Khan enjoys massive popularity amongst youth, without a level-playing field, it was going to be difficult for PTI to emerge as the single largest party. 


Early trends and results suggest that PMLN is in a comfortable position to form the new government. Nawaz Sharif could be returning as Prime Minister for an unprecedented 4th term. However, the final results remain to be seen as counting proceeds. But if early predictions hold, PMLN has managed to beat the odds and win the key electoral battle.
