Think Tank report: #pakistan will collapse due to its own contradictions #violence #terrorism

In their recent study on "The Future of Pakistan", analysts of Strategic Foresight Group at the International Centre for Peace Initiatives have observed that the Pakistan State is in the danger of imploding as it tries to balance disparate social forces in an effort to survive.
