Former American diplomat and now Director of CSIS South Asia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Teresita Schaeffer, says that whatever that’s happening in Pakistan was in a way expected. Not because of some conspiracy theories but because of the conditions within and on the ground in Pakistan.
