Saudi Arabia: Sharif and Pakistani Government

saudi arabia: Asif said the decision was taken in consultation with the Pakistani government, according to Deutsche Welle. For many in Pakistan, General Sharif, who retired in November last year, was a competent military chief. The alliance was formed by Saudi Arabia to deal with conflicts in the Middle East, particularly to quell the Iran-backed Houthi insurgency in Yemen. He not only acted against terrorists but was also resolute against alleged corruption in the country. The general had taken over the reins from Ashfaq Parvez Kayani in 2013. General Sharif's supporters were hopeful that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would extend his term as the military head. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
