Saudia Wants Raheel Sharif retirement, Offers 34-Nation Commands under KSA

While Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif is being appreciated by world powers for successful anti-terrorism operation in tribal areas of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia wants him to join its 34-country alliance as commander-in-chief after his retirement from Pakistan Army, a Pakistan’s daily claimed on Thursday.

Political Analysts believed that Saudi regime wanted the timely retirement of Most popular Army Chief Of Pakistan General Raheel Sharif to derail his policy of empower, soverign and prosperous Pakistan which is not benefited of Saudis, America, India and Israel. They added that Saudis are interested in the timely retirement Of General Raheel Sharif to protect their proxies like Notorious Taliban, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Jundullah, Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan aka AhleSunnat Wal Jamaat, Lashkar-e-Islam and IS which are facing the operation Zarb-e-Azb of Pakistan army to maintain the rule of law and peace in violence-hit Pakistan and the ongoing project of “China Pakistan Economic Corridor” (CPEC).

They offered the non-controversial Army Chief of Pakistan General Raheel to make him controversial among Pakistani nation and to protect the saudi-puppet Nawaz regime which is not happy with the popularity of General Raheel Sharif and Army’s operation against the Saudi proxies.

“Riyadh has asked General Raheel Sharif to take over the position of chief of the coalition force to combat terrorist organisations which are maligning Islamic ideology worldwide,” reported the Daily Jang, quoting unnamed military sources.

The report further added that Raheel Sharif’s appointment as the coalition force commander will not affect Pakistan’s natural position in Saudi-Iran tensions. “Pakistani role in 34-country military alliance will also remain unchanged.”

The Saudi offer comes in light of the general’s increasing popularity in Pakistan and the west due to successful military operation Zarb-e-Azb, which improved law and order situation in Pakistan to a great extent.

As far as Raheel Sharif’s retirement or extension in service as Pakistani Chief of Army Staff is concerned, a statement of the Pakistan army spokesman said that Raheel Sharif will retire on due date, dismissing the ongoing debate over possible extension in Army chief’s service.

Raheel Sharif took over the position of Chief of Army Staff in November 2013 and is due to retire in the end of this year But the Pakistani nation wants extension of Raheel Sharif to make pakistan peaceful, prosperous and undefeated.

General Raheel Sharif is currently in Saudi Arabia to witness 20-country joint military exercise “North Thunder” along with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The exercise is being portrayed as show of military power in international media after announcement of anti-terrorism alliance but out of 34-countries coalition only 20 countries joined the exercise.

Earlier in 2015, Saudi Arabia had announced Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Turkey, Chad, Togo, Tunisia, Djibouti, Senegal, Sudan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Gabon, Guinea, Palestine, Comoros, Qatar, Cote d’Ivoire, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Maldives, Mali, Malaysia, Egypt, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Yemen; as part of a 34-country alliance which will have its control center in Riyadh according to the statement.
