Islamabad: The Pakistani army and security forces have been experiencing a slew of attacks over the past few months. These assaults, particularly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, have led to a significant number of casualties. Amid these attacks carried out by the rebel group BLA, it has emerged that a large number of Pakistani soldiers are resigning from military service.
The Kabul Frontline, citing reliable sources, has made this claim. On Sunday, Kabul Frontline reported that around 2,500 soldiers have left the army within a week.
The bankrupt Pakistan has been dealing with a slew of issues. The growing insecurity in the country’s army, the continuous deaths of soldiers, and the worsening economic situation are being cited as the main reasons behind soldiers leaving their jobs. Most of the soldiers leaving the Pakistani army have moved abroad to countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE for work. They prefer choosing financial security abroad rather than risking their lives.
It is important to note that the situation within the Pakistani army is quite dire. In such circumstances, soldiers are increasingly unwilling to fight amid violence and insecurity. The deteriorating security situation in Pakistan is breaking the morale of the soldiers. However, the mass exodus of soldiers also raises questions about the strength of the army.
