Musharraf imposes emergency rule . Oh no President Musharraf of Pakistan has just imposed an emergency rule in Pakistan. This means that he has just suspended the Pakistani constitution. For those not familiar with Pakistan and its world role I will explain a little about it. Pakistan is a country with nuclear arms its current president/general is Perez Musharraf.
Pakistan has been engulfed in political upheaval in recent months, and the security forces have suffered a series of blows from pro-Taliban militants opposed to Gen Musharraf's support for the US-led "war on terror".
Though being one of our so called allies in the war on terror Pakistan is still a very dangerous country. Being one of the countries that has nuclear weapons on ready they are considered world enemies.
The emergency rule which suspends the constitution is considered a grave threat. The president can only suspend the constitution if there is mounting military attacks on his country either from Taliban forces or from the judicial court itself!
The core and judicial parts of Islamabad have been shut down and are under security guard as of now. But the rest of the city is going through every day life.
This matters to the world because Pakistan is a country against terrorism. This matters to other countries around Europe because this is a very high tensioned situation involving multiple diplomats.
This matters to m because I am very interested in foreign affairs and how they play out. I like to see if it will involve minimal violence or the United States.
