Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir Tightens Military Grip Over Mines In Run-Up To US Deal | World News

Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Chief of Pakistani Army, strengthened the army’s control in the economic decision -making process and according to media reports, the local civilian population hit the local civilian population to access the mining areas in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), surrounding Afghanistan.

The twin steps were made to emphasize the interest of US companies in the region with mining carrots in critical minerals and hydrocarbons, and to emphasize the interest in lithium and rare earth deposits in KP and Gilgit-Baltistan regions. The Donald Trump administration seems to have fallen into Munir’s game plan because it is looking for alternative sources for rare land metals beyond China.

However, the increasing unrest in the region following another military pressure in July, which is reported to be displaced by nearly 100,000 civilians in the Pashtun -speaking region, creates more problems for investments in the region.

“Munir has boarded a project that transforms military operations, refugee boundaries and resource control into a single agenda. The center has a rich and strategicly positioned KP in the center. At the same time, millions of pesh and Afghan are shaped by the international demand in an increasing manner in a way that is shaped in a way.

“In July 2025, the army launched the Sarbakaf Operation in Bajaur. The attacker made a curfew to all the towns imposed and made about 100,000 civilians in the days. Women and children were among those killed in the bombardment. The activity was less than that of the resource corridors.”

In KP, the rise of the trouble comes on the unrest, which is already swept in adjacent Belochistan and is expected to dive Pakistan into deeper turmoil.

In the last three years, the sharp increase in violence aimed at Chinese workers in Pakistan and infrastructure projects seems to be an indication that US companies are turning in the region. For General Munir, it is a way to get more funds to operate Pakistan, which is upset by an economy on the verge of collapse.
