Dr Moeed Yusuf appointed special assistant to PM on national security

Wrong choice. National security and Moeed?? I mean what the actual fk? Anyone who is reading his columns in DAWN can suss out the mind set.

In fact anyone who writes columns in Dawn newspaper should be automatically deemed as "disqualified" for any kind of national job, dawn is the anti-pakistan stinky newspaper.

Why is a US-based dove like Moeed Yusuf made NSA?

Another ch*ti** move by Imran Khan.

HAve read his works for more than 15 years. A Pro-American who is not trustworthy on Kashmir being made an Adviser is dangerous and alarming.

lol...do you know your whole NADRA system is foreign-funded program after 911. Plus, NSA has no secret agenda, it all security based and cover huge area including demands by FATF.
 
Good choice.

Excellent choice. A US national, ex Brookings, is perfect for ensuring the US has a direct line of influence with Pakstan's PM. Pakistan's national security policy now has a direct conduit of information into US intelligence.
Could ask for better perhaps, maybe, Ex-RAW as another special assistant perhaps ??

Pakistan is CIA's largest operational base outside US and it has been from decades.
Have you seen any white Americans in streets? They hire locals... and it's an organized process.
Pakistan has the capacity to decimate Indian army and things can escalate quickly and may be out of IK's control this time around... hence this appointment considering the un-expected performance of PAF on 27th February.

Why not install State Department official for Imran Khan cabinet, idiot?

This new set of scum that is trying to justify Mir Jafars. Imran Khan is being operated via remote control does'nt have a brain.
 
Our PTI Brothers are new patwaris who have to defend every move of IK and establishment by hook or by crook. A decade ahead, the general from current system will be writing books "yeh khamoshi bla bla" against the decisions made now.

We have to accept this fact that current lot of Pakistanis are not mistake proofs and every Pakistani should and can criticize the policy makers within manners. Same devil's advocates advocated the appointment of General Janjua that a seasoned general must be appointed here. Now what happened to all those logics?

Not all PTI is even with this, the ones defending are all Musharraf party and pro-US. Imran Khan is being operated out of a remote control by former Musharraf allies. First economy, then CPEC, bringing IMF, then statements against Kashmir now installing US and UK citizens/dalaals one after the other. They are using Imran Khan to implode his own party.
 
As i said,... he was launched in Pakistan from quite some time, and to hand over policy matters of national defense to a single person, in dictatorial fashion, makes the case suspicions from the word go.

The guy is through and through American apologist.

The only job of this guy is to setup a financial security apparatus to meet FATF guidelines and run communication channels with foreign govts who are part of FATF team. He has been cleared by Pak armed forces, without PA clearance no one can be a member of NSA team.
Before calling name read his godamn publications.... majority of Pakistani are dumb who criticize as there national duty.
Alumni Spotlight: Moeed Yusuf Makes Policy Waves
June 2, 2015



Dr. Moeed Yusuf has already accomplished many things in his still young career. He is the Director of South Asia Programs for the U. S. Institute of Peace (USIP), the editor of four books, with a single authored book on U.S. role in India-Pakistan nuclear crises on the way, and a key player in policy thinking and development in both Washington and Islamabad, Pakistan.

He is also a Boston University – and Pardee School – alumnus, with a Masters in International Relations from what is now the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies and later a PhD in Political Science.

None of this was something that Yusuf was expected to do.

“I came from a family of physicians: my grandparents, parents, my sister. And I think my family very much wanted me to follow in that path. It was the safest bet and the done thing,” said Yusuf. “But in Pakistan, politics is the national pastime. It’s what you discuss when you’re sitting around drinking tea. I was always fascinated by it and I knew that was a world I would enjoy. My sister was instrumental in convincing my parents and getting me a break.”

Yusuf’s winding, multinational path to policy development began in his childhood home in Pakistan, where he self-published a small newspaper about home gossip, written by hand and Xeroxed for circulation among his household members, until his parents objected. It brought him to the U.S. as an undergrad, sending him to a liberal arts college on a golf scholarship. But his dream to play golf for life changed forever on September 11, 2001.

“Suddenly, getting sponsorships for a Pakistani trying to break through on the golf circuit was unthinkable,” Yusuf said. “I decided to do something I had been passionate about for years; international politics and policy.”

That decision eventually brought him to Boston University’s International Relations program, the predecessor of the Pardee School of Global Studies, in 2003. He met Dean Adil Najam, then an Assistant Professor and fellow Pakistan transplant, who ever since has been a mentor and friend. Prof. Najam encouraged Yusuf to return to Pakistan after graduation to get on-the-ground experience. He interned at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. as a student, and worked at the Sustainable Development Policy Institute in Islamabad after he graduated.

“I came back to the U.S. in 2007 as a guest scholar at Brookings.” And soon he was back at Boston University, working on his PhD in political science with Prof. Najam as his doctoral supervisor. “Between 2007-2009, I was also a Fellow at the Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, and concurrently at the Kennedy School. I left Boston in late-2009, and since then I have been at the U. S. Institute of Peace.”

In the course of this meteoric career, Yusuf has experienced both success and frustration. Some of the policies he outlined in his 2014 book Pakistan’s Counterterrorism Challenge and other publications and white papers have been adopted, but he is honest about the expectations versus the reality of the policy profession.

“Our job is to make sure we put out information useful to policy makers, whether in reports, private briefings or task forces. But if you can see even 2 to 3 percent of your work being taken seriously and generating policy influence, that’s good,” Yusuf said. “The influence you have in this field is intangible, most of the time.”

Nonetheless, he knows that policy is still a glamorous and competitive field, and he has three very specific pieces of advice for students considering a policy career.

“Everyone in this field has a good education, good GPA, a good CV. What will make you stand out is firstly, having publications. It doesn’t matter if it’s the smallest outlet, just publish something before you graduate. Published works are your calling card,” Yusuf said. “Secondly, doing field work for a year or two in a foreign country makes a big impact. And lastly, learn a foreign language. Having those three accomplishments will make you stand out from the crowd.”

Yusuf resides in Washington, D.C. with his wife, Shanza, and their three children Sereen, Ahmed, and Hamza.

He continues to carry fond memories of his time at BU and encourages students to explore the policy world as a career option.

@Dubious @Horus @Mangus Ortus Novem and rest ...see his work ....
 
I know double Phd from top universities of Europe and Saudi Arabia, how come only US embassy sponsored graduates come back to Pakistan and got selected by DAWN, followed by IK, who even appoint the single person as NSA!
Who so ever introduced him to the dictator IK, must be having an unsubstantial clout over IK's decision making. So far as we know, it's the rest of the foreign advisers and Pakpatan.

Does not fit the bill.... totally unfit for the job of NSA.
Team of Graduates from National Defense College would make a far better choice.


Dude what i stated is an excerpt of an un-named army senior, printed in MAG magazine, about 15-20 years ago. It was the time, when we had NS as PM of Pakistan.

Secondly, why should a i trust words of CIA about Pakistan, over Pakistani general?
Richard Armitage said to Pakistani military attache, ''are you with us or against us and we'll bomb you to stone age'' later he took U turn from his statement... narratives of Americans regarding Pakistan, can't be trusted.
I don't even trust them when they speak of going to war with Iran.
 
An american mouthpiece is here as a special advisor to PM on national security. Expect more from this installed government in coming days.
He is not American mouthpiece when you have no clue about things it's better to remain silent than accuse someone of something else
