Amin Saikal writing in the Strategist, makes the following points:

• Previous PM Khan blames his ousting on a US-led conspiracy against him due to his ‘independent foreign policy.’
• Pakistan is beset by economic and social problems exacerbated by natural disasters.
• The potential for political fragmentation in a nuclear-capable state can destabilise the region and hurt the people of Pakistan and its neighbours.
