Pakistan's Military Still Powerful | Democracy Weakened | Imran Khan Backed by Judiciary

In this episode of #Unraveled, host Marvi Sirmed sits down with Hussain Haqqani, former Pakistani ambassador to the U.S., to dissect the power dynamics tearing at Pakistan's democracy. As the country battles economic instability, Haqqani reveals how Pakistan's "hybrid democracy" barely conceals the military's iron grip on power. He explains how the military, driven by a self-serving national narrative, manipulates political outcomes and maintains control behind the scenes. Haqqani also highlights how Khan's alliance and subsequent fallout with the military have only strengthened the military's dominance, pointing out the failures of political parties to unite against this authoritarian influence, resulting in a creeping coup that sees the military increasingly intervening in civilian domains.
