All of these countries are net food importers. Some have experienced successive years of drought, which has contributed to noticeable declines in agricultural output and the need to increase commodity imports. The United Nations’ World Food Program reports that both Afghanistan and Tajikistan are currently in need of emergency food assistance to cover sizable food deficits. The food outlook in Afghanistan is made uncertain by ongoing military conflict.</p>Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons2016-04-04T14:48:17-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc824771/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc824771/"><img alt="Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons" title="Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc824771/small/"/></a></p><p>This report discusses Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, which probably consists of approximately 110-130 nuclear warheads, although it could have more.

Chronic political instability in Pakistan and Islamabad's military efforts against the Taliban and al-Qaeda have raised concerns about the security of the country's nuclear weapons. Some observers fear that Pakistan's strategic nuclear assets could be obtained by terrorists or used by elements in the Pakistani government; however, U.S. officials have generally expressed confidence in the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons.</p>Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons2016-04-04T14:48:17-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc824466/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc824466/"><img alt="Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons" title="Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc824466/small/"/></a></p><p>This report discusses Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, which probably consists of approximately 110-130 nuclear warheads, although it could have more.

Pakistan does not have a stated nuclear policy but its "minimum credible deterrent" is thought to be primarily a deterrent to Indian military action. Pakistani and US officials argue that Islamabad has taken a number of steps to prevent further proliferation of nuclear related technologies. Although instability in Pakistan has called the extent and durability of these reforms into question.</p>Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons: Proliferation and Security Issues2014-12-05T09:57:41-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc462003/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc462003/"><img alt="Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons: Proliferation and Security Issues" title="Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons: Proliferation and Security Issues" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc462003/small/"/></a></p><p>This report discusses Pakistan's nuclear proliferation and security issues.

In the post- 9/11 period, assisting in the creation of a more stable, democratic, and prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy has been among the most important U.S. foreign policy efforts. Pakistan is among the leading recipients of U.S. aid in the post-9/11 period, having been appropriated about $24 billion in assistance and military reimbursements since 2001. FY2013 legislation in the 112th Congress would cut U.S. assistance funding significantly from both the levels requested by the Administration and from those Congress approved for FY2012. Provisions also would introduce more rigorous restrictions and certification requirements on such aid. With anti-American sentiments and xenophobic conspiracy theories rife among ordinary Pakistanis, persistent economic travails and a precarious political setting combine to present serious challenges to U.S. decision makers.</p>Pakistan-U.S. Relations2015-11-04T09:58:14-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc770617/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc770617/"><img alt="Pakistan-U.S. Relations" title="Pakistan-U.S. Relations" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc770617/small/"/></a></p><p>This report summarizes important recent developments in Pakistan and in Pakistan-U.S. relations, including: high-profile political assassinations in early 2011; the Raymond Davis affair involving a CIA operative accused of murder in the city of Lahore; and the May killing of Osama bin Laden in the city of Abbottabad, among others.

Key U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include
regional terrorism; weapons proliferation; the
ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India
tensions; human rights protection; and economic
development. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship
marked by periods of both cooperation and
discord was transformed by September 2001
terrorist attacks on the United States and the
ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a pivotal ally
in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. The top U.S.
officials regularly praise Islamabad for its
ongoing cooperation, although doubts exist
about Islamabad’s commitment to some core
U.S. interests in the region.</p>Pakistan-U.S. Relations: A Summary2011-08-27T10:13:38-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc40168/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc40168/"><img alt="Pakistan-U.S. Relations: A Summary" title="Pakistan-U.S. Relations: A Summary" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc40168/small/"/></a></p><p>This report summarizes important recent developments in Pakistan and in Pakistan-U.S. relations. These include high-profile political assassinations earlier in 2011, the Raymond Davis affair involving a CIA operative accused of murder in the city of Lahore, and the May killing of Osama bin Laden in the military cantonment city of Abbottabad, among others. Obama Administration engagement with Pakistan has been seriously disrupted by recent events. A brief analysis of the current state of Pakistan-U.S. relations illuminates the main areas of contention and uncertainty. Vital U.S. interests related to links between Pakistan and indigenous American terrorism, Islamist militancy in Pakistan and Islamabad's policies toward the Afghan insurgency, Pakistan's relations with historic rival India, nuclear weapons proliferation and security, and the troubled status of Pakistan's domestic setting are reviewed. Ongoing human rights concerns are briefly summarized, and the report closes with discussion of U.S. foreign assistance to Pakistan.</p>Pakistan-U.S. Relations: A Summary2012-04-27T15:49:45-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83964/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83964/"><img alt="Pakistan-U.S. Relations: A Summary" title="Pakistan-U.S. Relations: A Summary" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83964/small/"/></a></p><p>This report summarizes important recent developments in Pakistan and in Pakistan-U.S. relations.
