Asim Munir is Pakistan’s new Army Chief. He was appointed on the 24th of November, putting at rest endless speculation of who would be chief and whether Qamar Jawed Bajwa might get yet another extension.

Will he try and fix the popular Imran Khan whose massive public meetings continue to signal his imminent return to power? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
