THE first four generations were conceived by the United States analysts, including William S Lund, a leading international affairs expert, and William S Lund. They wrote several books on the techniques of warfare and its all-encompassing aspects. The purpose of the Fourth Generation Warfare was to bring to the fore the changing issues and new dimensions of warfare. The First Generation Warfare was founded on ancient and post-classical combat skills, driven by the multiplicity of forces, uniformed soldiers, and the principles of the battlefield. The skills adopted before were presented in a modern way. The third generation warfare is called the Middle Ages, in which the use of stealth technology began. The fourth generation warfare is called post-modern. This includes the spread of warfare to the lower levels and the addition of other tools. The Warfare involves psychological tactics, propaganda through the media. The Fifth Generation Warfare adopts brand new resources, skills and goals in which non-state actors are selected to achieve different goals in each field. The Fifth Generation War for Future Conflicts began with new goals set by the founders and colonial powers, including Africa, South Asia and the Middle East. Al Qaeda, the Islamic State (ISIS) and other ideological tools provide an ideological anchor for the extraordinary violence perpetrated by these fifth-generation founders. Poverty, economic deprivation and political injustice are a terrible tactic of the founders of the fifth generation warfare whose hatred aims to arouse feelings of despair and jealousy of the more humorous parts of humanity. Achieving this goal, the islands of communication surrounded by a sea of dissatisfaction will not be safe in their cleansed harems. These war criminals themselves enjoy a life of luxury, but the frustration of the poor, hungry and common people will soon be part of the stability that is being achieved today by illegal immigration, crime and the negatives of deprived states. There is a clearer reality than ever before in the form of violence. According to the United Nations Human Development Report, 1.8% of the world’s population owns 86% of the world’s total property. According to the Oxfam International report, the most worrying thing is that one percent of the world’s wealth is held by the powerful. The world is unfortunately divided into two groups. The first group includes countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Australia and Canada, which account for 13% of the world’s population and 25% of world income Other groups, comprising 42% of the world’s population, including India, Indonesia, Pakistan and even China, are limited to only 9% of total income. Seen in this broad context of the world, Pakistan is the real and ultimate target of the Fifth Generation War, where they create economic inequality and also recover from the common man by burdening the economy with debts, due to which negative sentiments against the government and the state arise in the hearts of the people which weaken the state structure in the form of massive public storm. This process leads to economic conflicts in the state, which in the form of public outrage begin to think of destabilizing their own country. Relevant state objectives of the Fifth Generation Warfare include hatred, insurrection and violence against law enforcement agencies, creating misconceptions in the minds of the people against the forces, creating complications through the media against the country’s basic defence force, looting, street crimes and other non-state elements as facilitators. The warfare also includes the use of drone technology to target specific targets, with detrimental effects in northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pakistan and Israel are two states in the world that came into being on the basis of ideology. The purpose was to tighten the noose around the power. The aim was to use the Fifth Generation Warfare to encircle the only nuclear power in the Islamic world. In this regard, Israel is the only country which has not been recognized by Pakistan and in the light of the hadiths related to the Indian invasion, after India, Israel will be opposed by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The Pakistani forces are becoming more organized and stable despite successive attacks by western and global colonial powers. The United States and Israel turned the war on Afghanistan and Pakistan into the first attack of the Fifth Generation Warfare which was thwarted by the Pakistani forces from Operation Rah-e-Rast to Rah-e-Nijat and then from Zarb-e-Azb to Radal-e-Fasad by narrating the eternal story of courage and sacrifices. In the recent Pak-India tension, while the Pakistani forces responded to the enemy on all fronts, the Pakistan Army’s Public Relations Department (ISPR) defeated India in terms of information and propaganda, this was acknowledged by the media and broadcasters all over the world. Pakistani soldiers not only treated Indian pilot Abhi Nandan in the best possible way while upholding human and high moral values, but also the government of Pakistan on humanitarian grounds handed over. Today, the Pakistani nation has a heavy responsibility to understand the insidious enemies of India, the United States and Israel and to fight them at the intellectual, political, economic and military levels. Do your national duty for the survival and security of Pakistan.
