The student movement condemning Israel’s genocide against Gaza is remarkable for a number of reasons, not least the high threshold set by the movement and the demand of western countries to reassess its own respective value systems and identities. Have those movements in Pakistan and Turkey matched that threshold?

The student movements in both Turkey and Pakistan are renowned for their dynamism and influence on the wider societies. However, despite the global movement against the Israeli genocide in Gaza, Turkey and Pakistan, as two of the largest and most influential Muslim countries, have failed to match the volume and expanse of that movement, especially the student and youth sections.

Ahsan Shafiq discusses with Anas Altikriti the reasons and factors that have impacted both societies, and the significant potentials both continue to carry.
