Pakistan Blocks Khan Supporters with Shipping Containers, Eyes Houthi Talks

Pakistan is employing a strategy of deploying shipping containers to block access to the capital, aiming to prevent supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan from reaching the city. This measure has resulted in a significant accumulation of containers at Karachi, the nation's primary port, disrupting maritime trade and logistics.

In parallel, Pakistan is preparing for emergency talks among members of the Mecca pact to discuss potential engagement with the Houthi movement. This diplomatic initiative signals a broader regional focus on de-escalation and dialogue amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.
