"2019 is year of progress", says DG ISPR

DG ISPR Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor.
Pakistan Army spokesperson Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor has termed 2019 as the year of progress, in his message to the nation on New Year’s Eve.

“In our national pursuit for a peaceful, prosperous & vibrant Pakistan, 2019 is year of progress,” said the DG in a Twitter post on Monday evening.

“United we shall consolidate our successes, IA,” Maj Gen Ghafoor said. “May Allah continue His blessings upon us. Amen. Salute to resilient Pakistanis & Martyrs.”

On December 22, Army chief General Qamar Javed Bawja advised future military leaders to be able to gauge the enemy’s latest moves and be ready to respond even when a ‘surgical strike’ exists only in the enemy’s imagination or when threats appear in cyberspace and not the traditional battlefield or threaten the “country’s ideological frontiers”.

He cautioned that the subversive phase of the unannounced war against Pakistan has been initiated by the country’s enemies even as efforts are made to tackle the terrorism and sabotage phase.

Reiterating the armed forces’ resolve to maintain peace in the country, the army chief regretted that the youth of the nation is being targetted by a hybrid campaign – at times by protagonists who are “our own people”.

The death toll from a powerful earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia leapt to 832 Sunday, as stunned people on the stricken island of Sulawesi struggled to find food and water and looting spread. The new toll announced by the national disaster agency was almost double the previous figure. Indonesian vice-president Jusuf Kalla said the final number of dead could be in the "thousands." "It feels very tense," said 35-year-old mother Risa Kusuma, comforting her feverish baby boy at an evacuation centre in the gutted coastal city of Palu. "Every minute an ambulance brings in bodies. Clean water is scarce. The minimarkets are looted everywhere." Indonesia’s Metro TV on Sunday broadcast footage from a coastal community in Donggala, close to the epicentre of the quake, where some waterfront homes appeared crushed but a resident said most people fled to higher ground after the quake struck. "When it shook really hard, we all ran up into the hills," a ...
