I’ll be brutally honest. If I seen that video of the kid throwing the stone with no context I would have thought it was from IOK.

Well all of these regime oppressing Muslims are in cahoots, so you’re not that off from the truth.
 
Located on the southwestern Arabian Sea coast of Pakistan, in Gwadar District of Balochistan province, Gwadar is a port city that has been a regional settlement for centuries. The city, located on the shores of the Arabian Sea, is the 100th largest city of Pakistan, having an estimated population of 138,000 as of 2020. Although the area has a long history, it became a bustling tourist destination only a few years ago when the spellbinding beauty of Gwadar began to gain fame on the social media. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has further made Gwadar the focus of attention because China has not only built a highway connecting the Gwadar Port with northern Pakistan, but also improved the port and the surrounding coastal areas.

Unfortunately, despite the mesmerizing sunset and scenic views, Gwadar suffers from the lowest Human Development Index (HDI), resulting in an impoverished quality of life and healthcare facilities in the region. The only GDA Hospital in the city is providing medical care to the whole city in a resource-constrained environment. Moreover, partially constructed District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ) and distantly located Rural Health Centres (RHCs) and Basic Health Units (BHUs) in the area are preforming the daunting task of sending relief teams and medical care all over Gwadar District.

Free Medical Camps in Gwadar
In order to provide some relief, and to extend a helping hand to the people of Gwadar, Pakistan Army established medical camps within the district during the month of January and February 2023. Free medical camps are organized with the aim to bring awareness amongst the deprived population to get their basic right of quality healthcare service at the doorstep. These medical camps not only provided the people with essential medicines for common illnesses, but also treatment for specific illnesses prevalent in the area were also provided. People were also checked and examined for an early identification of chronic illnesses like diabetes and blood pressure, whereas deserving cases were also referred to tertiary care hospitals for further evaluation and treatment.

Facilities in the Camps
The camps comprised of separate outpatient departments (OPDs) for males, females and children. A detention ward was established for seriously dehydrated or malnourished patient. As a part of winning hearts and minds (WHAM) activities, gifts were also distributed amongst children which were comprised of stationary items to inculcate awareness among the children regarding education.
The importance of free medical camps in resources-starved communities is immense as basic health treatment is the right of every human being. Establishment of regular free medical camps in the city and the surrounding areas of Gwadar will continue to not only provide free medications to the needy populace, but also the availability of various specialists in such camps, seeing patients and prescribing treatment to the underprivileged class of the society will provide them with better medical care and a sense of hope, satisfaction and a million-dollar smile.

We have been hearing about this impending transformation of Gwadar since the days of Musharraf and even years before that. Almost 20 years has passed and the Pakistani military and establishment continue to brainwash their people some miraculous thing is about to happen in Gwadar.

Meanwhile, the people in Gwadar, like most of the Pakistani population, continue to agitate against the state and what’s seen as corrupt oppressive and self-serving obsessions of the Pakistani establishment.

Few photos posted online won’t whitewash the glaring failure of the Pakistani state and establishment.
 
Faujeets needed China to tell them of Gawadars potential lmao and even after that it looks like this, a third world ghetto.

I really don't understand how one can mess this up so bad 😂

You are neighbors with an economic and military hyperpower that is on its way to becoming a superpower.

They were willing to invest to get access to warm water.

Pakistan says yes, then does weird faujeet promos for 7 years...then nothing really happens except for some photos by faujeet troll farms showing development and the occasional protests by Baloch people there.

No reason Gwadar can't also grow into a modern city like Shenzhen with the right people, planning and effort.

The thing you are missing is that Pakistan cannot help itself. It is incapable of doing so.

The Pakistani people, at large, welcomes Chinese investment and cooperativity. Even Afghanistan has said they looked forward to it.

However, the people in power don't seem to care and just want their cash cow.
