Army for Rent: Pakistan has long tradition of dealing out its military – be it to Saudis or Americans

Mar 30, 2015

Islamabad has thus far sent mixed signals on whether it will join Saudi strikes on Yemen. Don't be surprised even if it does.

The liberal section of the civil society in Pakistan is aghast at Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s intent to send a contingent of the country’s armed forces to Yemen in support of Saudi operation to fight the Houthis. The obvious concern is that participating in such a battle will not serve Pakistan’s interests and instead deepen the sectarian divide in the country that has already cost thousands of lives.
