Pakistan Army in KSA

Published February 19, 2018

I UNDERSTAND we are sending our army to Saudi Arabia for the defencc of that country wher our troops will stay. Are Saudi armed forces afraid of Yemen? Saudi Arabia has arms worth trillion dollars and is still afraid of poor Yemenis, who does not have anything to eat.

I am against sending our troop to Saudi Arabia, and if it at all Saudi troops want any training, it should send its men here to get the training. No one sends so many troops to any other country just for training. We should not get involved in any such thing that is against Iran, a friend which shares our border.
