If Pakistan was an important country, with lots of interaction with the rest of the world and international fame, then maybe the world would care. But even if u were as important as Japan, u still wouldn't get the same attention as France, becuz ur not a white country. Cold harsh truth man.

So the advice I give to Pakistan is: become a country that's associated with good things, not poverty, corruption or terrorism.

India has corruption, poverty and terrorism, but the difference is they are seen as friendly by the west and an important player in case there is ever a need to go to war with Pakistan, Afghanistan or any other Islamic country seen as a threat. The west has always had an uneasy relationship with Pakistan and partially I blame dodgy Politicians in Pakistan. The split with Bangladeshand treatment of Bengalis at the time, the coup against Mohammed Jinnas daughter,  assinations, military coupes etc.

Dont worry no one in the west would care about attacks in India(or China) either. It's just too far away from home for people in the West.

Japan and Australia are the only 1st world nations they would care.

It's not so much that noone cares but simply everyone knows that your region has been a ravaged mess for decades.

People get killed here all the time and noone cares. It's the price you pay for not being born in a Western country :S



People will always care more about their own and those of similar cultures and values. It's evolutionary, and is the same across the world. Doubly so when the issue, in this case Islamic terrorism, originates outside of the West (even considering arguments surrounding western intervention throughout the last few decades).



By what your OP says, I assume terrorist attacks are common place where you live, which would explain why it's never on national news.

Edit: Also I know nothing of your city or province, sorry.

Stop this common garbage. Terrorism started after USA created Taliban and since 2001 before that it was a peaceful city where people could go out at 3.00 feeling safe. The attacks have stopped since 2015 but now they target military and police forces. The attack was near the core commanders house in the cantonment area. And even if it was common in America or France or UK God forbid, you'd still hear about it all over the world

Today a blast in my city Quetta occurred and it didn't even make national or local news. Only by word of mouth do I know. This is not the first time and no one in the country or world cares. Since 2001 thousands upon thousands have died in my city and province Balochistan. Children have died so have women and young men and old and no one cares. If this many deaths occurred anywhere else I assure you you would know but it feels like out lives don't matter. More people have died in my city alone due to terrorism then probably the whole of Europe and USA combined but no one cares. Don't know how many replies I'll get or how many of you will care but the world will still not care. Don't know how why I wrote this thread but I noticed the French one and thought why are some humans seen as more important then others. These anger me because of the fact that this is so close to my heart
