The Failure of Overseas Pakistanis

Recently there has been a barrage of articles warning us about the threat of Talibinization. Nobody seems to accept his/her part in bringing us to this state of affairs.
For decades our educated classes have been playing havoc with the institutions of the state leading to an absence of an apparatus capable of handling all the problems we are facing. The culpability of overseas Pakistanis in collaborating with the systemic destruction of a viable system of governance cannot be denied. For the sake of being in close proximity of ruling elites and self-propagation we have repaid our debt to our country in a shameful manner.
The Taliban are only stepping into the messy vacuum created by us.
