Meanwhile, in Pakistan, the Haqqani network, the most potent branch of the Taliban, moved from North Waziristan into the adjacent district of Kurram. From there it continues to enjoy safe haven and conduct its insurgency against American, international and Afghan targets. Pakistan regards Afghanistan as its backyard. Determined not to let its archrival, India, gain influence there, and to ensure that Afghanistan remains in the Sunni Islamist camp, Pakistan has used the Taliban selectively, promoting those who further its agenda and cracking down on those who don't. The same goes for Al Qaeda and other foreign fighters. As some irregulars are financially dependent on what they consider Jihad, others are spiritually and psychologically so. Many irregulars who fought in Afghanistan are now fighting in Kashmir and are likely to continue looking for new 'Jihads to fight even against Pakistan itself. The ISI's fingerprints are apparent in almost every major terrorist activity in recent years. After promoting the Taliban in Afghanistan, ISI operatives facilitated the participation of Pakistani and other cadres in Jihad in Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Dagestan and even Nagorno-Karabakh.

The 13, 297 square kilometers region which has an estimated population of about four million has added fuel to the burning enmity between India and Pakistan.

The ancient and 21st century maritime silk roads. Bibliography. Index. South China Sea is the dominant term used in English for the sea, and the name in most European languages is equivalent, but it is sometimes called by different names in China's neighboring countries, often reflecting historical claims to hegemony over the sea. The disputes in the South China Sea have the potential to ignite a broader regional conflagration. Multiple claimants contend over issues of sovereignty not susceptible to easy legal resolution. Worse, the stakes are high, the sea is one of the primary routes for international trade, and many claimants believe that the sea hides bountiful oil reserves in addition to its plentiful fishing stocks. The disputes are further entrenched by rampant nationalism, as each claimant attaches symbolic value to the South China Sea islands that far exceeds their objective material wealth. And, finally, the disputes are also tinged by great power politics as China and the United States begin to jostle each other for control of the international order. In order to reduce other countries 'worries' we have to take a strategy on the South China Sea issue that features clarity and rationality. Such a strategy would not only be good for solving the disputed issue, it would also benefit China's future management of the sea. Meanwhile, the South China Sea is a crucial part of the country's overall neighboring diplomacy and security, which need to be peacefully solved for China's sustainable peace and prosperity.

Initially the ISI lacked an internal role which was the domain of the Intelligence Bureau. However as the first signs of secessionism surfaced in the erstwhile East Pakistan during the late 1950s the politico-bureaucratic leadership suspected the sympathies of Bengali IB officers and directed the ISI to operate there. Lieutenant-General Hamid Gul (Born 20 November 1936) HI (M), SBt, is a retired high-ranking general officer in the Pakistan Army, and a former spymaster famous for serving as the Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan's premier intelligence agency, between 1987 and 1989 during the late stages of and post-stages of the Soviet war in Afghanistan. ISI charter incorporates gathering of external and internal intelligence,co-ordination of intelligence functions of the three services, surveillance over its cadre, foreigners, media men, politically conscious segments of Pak society, diplomats of other countries accredited to Pakistan and Pak diplomats serving outside the country.
