> Pakistan’s president suspended the elected government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday after declaring a state of emergency. The province was governed by jailed former prime minister Imran Khan’s party, which has been holding rallies to demand his release. Authorities blocked major roads in Peshawar with shipping containers and sent in security personnel wearing riot gear. A local resident questioned the state of democracy, noting that voters had chosen the government.
