A tide of extremists rises as 33m flooded Pakistanis plead for assist


Banned jihadist teams are delivering help within the area, and locals indignant at inaction on local weather change could also be prone to their ideology.

As devastating floods and a political disaster grip Pakistan, it now faces the rise of extremists posing as charities to supply help and doubtlessly recruit followers in flood-affected areas.

Consultants and journalists report a revival of banned jihadist extremist teams after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, and so they’re concentrating on determined communities. 

To this point they make up a tiny fraction of these delivering help to the area, and their affect is small. However amid rising anti-American ideology and as Pakistanis blame rich, high-emissions nations for the floods, there’s a danger extra might be swept up in extremism — doubtlessly inflicting additional instability.
