President Musharraf's resignation good news for Pakistan
18/ 8/2008
The Ramadhan Foundation welcomes the resignation of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf as great news for Pakistan and an opportunity to build for the future.
Over the past nine years under dictatorship Pakistani people have suffered in terms of poverty, oppression, dictatorship, terrorism and even after Musharraf the poverty and oppression will go on.
We urge the Government of Pakistan not to blindly follow the US in foreign policy and have a policy that reaches out to all in the nation and friends around the world, a relation that is based on trust and equality not as a servant as Musharraf was.
We welcome Pervez Musharraf’s resignation as President of Pakistan and hope that the Government of Pakistan will get on with tackling terrorism, poverty, deprivation and unemployment.
Life under Musharraf has been hard for ordinary Pakistanis and will probably be no different under the new Government, this is the most important policy area for any Government, yet the Pakistani Government is more interested in playing musical chairs.
Pakistan must free itself from dependency from Western powers; decisions should be made by Pakistan and not by outside forces, change is on its way but it must be lasting change.
Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of Ramadhan Foundation
