Shafi Burfat calls UN's security council role issue to Pakistan ‘murder of justice'
Burfat expressed deep shock and sorrow over what he called the legitimisation of a rogue state. "Instead of dragging Pakistan before the International Court of Justice for its crimes, sponsorship of terrorism, military occupation of historic nations, and gross human rights violations, the UN has rewarded it with a prestigious global platform," Burfat said.
Speaking on behalf of the Sindhi, Baloch, Pashtun, Brahui, Lassi, Saraiki, and the people of Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, Burfat called the decision incomprehensible and disgraceful. "Pakistan is not a federation but an artificial and failed state, sustained by a Punjabi-dominated military that uses religion and terrorism as state policy," he added.
Burfat accused the Pakistani state of operating death squads, enforcing disappearances, and dumping mutilated bodies to silence political dissent. He said it's military and intelligence agencies, "among the most corrupt and notorious in the world," continue to shelter globally designated terrorists such as Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar.
"The recent Pahalgam massacre in India is a glaring example," Burfat said, referring to the killing of civilians. He linked the attack to hate-filled speeches by Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir, accusing the military establishment of promoting religious violence and terrorism.
Referring to the 1971 genocide in Bangladesh, Burfat asked: "How can a state that massacred over 3 million Bengalis and raped thousands of women be allowed to guide international peace and security?"
Calling Pakistan a "morally, politically, and economically failed state," Burfat urged the global community to reconsider this decision. "To grant leadership to such a regime is to empower fascism and legitimise terrorism," he warned.

‘China Dumped Poor Quality Weapons On Pakistan': Op Sindoor Exposed Islamabad's Weakness
Pakistan's reliance on cheap and poor quality Chinese military hardware exposed critical vulnerabilities during Operation Sindoor, said sources Among other things, India's Operation Sindoor highlighted one key aspect of Pakistani defence – Islamabad has become a junkyard for downgraded Chinese weapons, said sources. According to intelligence sources, China supplied Pakistan lower-grade exports compared to the machines used domestically. The weaknesses in the Chinese arms and air defence systems supplied to Pakistan became evident during Operation Sindoor. WHAT CHINA GAVE PAKISTAN? Top intelligence sources said that Chinese systems sold to Pakistan are downgraded. The HQ-9P has a 125 km range vs. China's domestic HQ-9B 250–300 km. A Pakistani LY-80 radar system in Gujranwala was destroyed by Indian Harop loitering munitions due to poor mobility and counter-drone capabilities. The JF-17's KLJ-7A AESA radar has a smaller aperture than India's Rafale's RBE2-AA radar, reducing detection range and tracking accuracy. Limited fuel capacity restricts operational range, forcing reliance on vulnerable mid-air refueling. Exported PL-15E missiles have a reduced range (145 km) compared to China's domestic PL-15 (200–300 km), allowing India's Rafales with Meteor missiles (200 km) to outrange them. Indian SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) tactics exploited this by targeting radar nodes, crippling the entire network. Pakistan Fighter Jets were outmatched by Indian technology. Reliance on pre-programmed flight paths made them predictable targets. With 81% of Pakistan's arms imports being Chinese, a dependency without diversification has been created. China's refusal to share cutting-edge tech such as J-20 stealth fighters has left Pakistan with outdated systems. India's mix of Russian, Western, and homegrown tech has reduced dependency risks and enhanced adaptability. Chinese Wing Loong II and CH-4 drones were easily intercepted by India's Akash SAMs and SMASH-2000 counter-drone systems due to poor manoeuvrability and lack of stealth features. Pakistan's limited defense budget ($10.2 billion vs. India's $86 billion) led to maintenance shortfalls. Sources say defective Wing Loong drones crashed during missions. Chinese systems require specialized technicians, which Pakistan lacks, causing downtime during critical operations. Pakistani pilots trained on simulators struggled with real-world combat scenarios, unlike India's Rafale pilots trained in France. China's arms exports to Pakistan suffer from downgraded capabilities and integration flaws. While Chinese machines are cost-effective, their operational inflexibility is apparent. All these systems falter against India's technologically superior, diversified, and well-integrated defense architecture.

Myanmar junta releases 93 child soldiers after UN criticism
By Naw Betty Han and Shoon Naing Myanmar junta releases 93 child soldiers after UN criticism July 4 - Myanmar's ruling junta said on Friday it has already discharged 93 minors from military service, responding to a United Nations report last month accusing it and its allies of recruiting over 400 children, many in combat roles. In a rare admission published in its mouthpiece newspaper, the junta said it conducted a verification process last year that resulted in the discharge of 93 verified minors, who were also provided with financial assistance. "To date, only 18 suspected minor cases remain pending verification," a government-run committee said in a statement published in the Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper. Myanmar's military and the armed groups affiliated to it last year recruited 467 boys and 15 girls, including over 370 children used in combat roles, the UN Secretary-General's report on Children and Armed Conflict said. Anti-junta groups had also recruited children, the report said, although their number was far lower than that of the military. Myanmar has been in turmoil since a 2021 coup that unseated an elected government led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, causing widespread protests that morphed into a nationwide armed uprising against the powerful military. Established ethnic armies and new armed groups formed in the wake of the coup have gained control over much of Myanmar's borderlands, hemming the junta largely into the country's central plains. The struggling junta in 2024 activated a mandatory military service law, conscripting young people to replenish its depleted ranks after months of relentless fighting forced it to cede swathes of territory. Nearly 3.5 million people were internally displaced in the war-torn country, with children accounting for over 33% of that population in 2024, according to UNICEF. The largest proportion of child recruitment appears to have taken place in western Rakhine state, home to the minority Muslim Rohingya community, where the Myanmar military - along with two allies fighting there - enlisted 300 minors, according to the UN report. Reuters reported last year that children as young as 13 were fighting on the frontlines in Rakhine state, citing a U.N. official and two Rohingya fighters. Millions of Rohingya driven out of Myanmar remain confined in refugee camps in neighbouring Bangladesh, where militant recruitment and violence surged last year.

How Pakistan Exposed China's 'Proxy Warfare' Tactics During India's Operation Sindoor
Last Updated: Sources said the battle was a testbed for fifth-generation, multi-domain conflict orchestrated by China, executed by Pakistan, and augmented by Turkey During DGMO-level ceasefire talks in May, Pakistan provided precise details of Indian strike vectors, sourced through Chinese satellites, SIGINT aircraft, and radar sweeps, exposing Beijing's 'proxy war" tactics, top security sources told CNN-News18 on Friday. Indian encrypted communications were intercepted via Chinese ELINT platforms, compromising target secrecy and enabling precise Pakistani counterstrikes, they added. Pakistan executed strikes with unusual precision, using 81% of its combat inventory—J-10C jets, PL-15 missiles, and EW modules—and treated the conflict as a live weapons lab, the sources said. Bayraktar TB2 drones, accompanied by trainers and pilots, were deployed for persistent aerial surveillance and guided artillery barrages. Electronic Warfare: India's Project Kautilya jammers disrupted Chinese-Pakistani ISR channels, neutralising enemy drones and artillery accuracy. Standoff Strikes: SkyStriker drones, BrahMos, and SCALP-EG cruise missiles replaced manned missions; target decisions were compressed to under 60 minutes to evade ISR leaks. Army, Air Force, and Navy units were synchronised under a dynamic control grid, limiting adversary ISR exploitation. Proxy Warfare Now Precision-Guided: China's indirect participation weaponised both Pakistan and Turkey, avoiding diplomatic fallout. Future Warfare Will Be Sensor-Driven, Not Tank-Driven: The enemy's advantage lay in seeing first and striking first—ISR denial must now drive India's force posture. Rapid Tactical Agility is India's Edge: India's swift transition to drone-based strikes, electronic warfare, and theatre-level command within 48 hours stalled the adversary's momentum. Operation Sindoor was not a conventional war, said the sources. It was a testbed for fifth-generation, multi-domain conflict orchestrated by China, executed by Pakistan, and augmented by Turkey, they added. India's strategic success, said the sources, lay not in battlefield wins but in recognising and rapidly adapting to this paradigm.
