Pakistan On The Brink as Imran Khan Supporters Push Toward Islamabad After Talks Collapse

Tensions have reached a boiling point across Pakistan as supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan flood the streets. Spearheaded by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has launched a massive long march from Lakki Marwat following the breakdown of crucial negotiations with the federal government over access to Khan. With protesters demanding accountability, the release of their leader, and pushing forward toward a final showdown in Islamabad, the nation braces for heavy political unrest.
