Pleased to share a new piece from @StimsonCenter Distinguished Fellow Col. (Ret.)

Remarkable survey research on the impact of USAID's closure on its employees by my brilliant former colleague Jamie Oberlander: 15 months on, "only 40 percent of responding USAID FSOs had secured full-time employment." https://t.co/8biJGboDIi https://t.co/5lmvG3c5Lm

.@dawn_com on the 🇵🇰🇮🇷 pipeline: "[Trump] holds the current ruling set-up in Pakistan in high esteem and this aspect, coupled with Islamabad’s role as a mediator in the US-Iran conflict, can be leveraged to soften the American stance towards the project." https://t.co/ImHlYWksc1 605 views · 3 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Worth a read from @MohanCRaja: "The irony is hard to miss. Even as SAARC remains frozen by India-Pakistan conflict, China-backed continental institutions are extending their political reach into the subcontinent." https://t.co/PBj41lWdaj 65K views · 67 likes · 8 reposts · 11 replies Open on X →
