The Shadow Empire Behind Pakistan's Military
Imagine discovering that your nation's military isn't just fighting wars but secretly running a multi-billion dollar business empire spanning everything from cereal factories to luxury real estate. In Pakistan, this isn't conspiracy theory-it's documented reality. The military has constructed an elaborate economic kingdom that operates largely outside public scrutiny, creating what scholar Ayesha Siddiqa terms "Milbus"-military capital used primarily to benefit the officer class. This shadow economy fundamentally reshapes the relationship between Pakistan's armed forces and its civilian government, creating powerful incentives for military leaders to maintain political influence. When generals become business tycoons, the line between national security and personal profit blurs dangerously, raising profound questions about who truly governs Pakistan.
