Thread: On the 26th of August, a hashtag was reactivated to commemorate Akbar Bugti's death anniversary. I was given a tip that a lot of the users were not Baloch. So, I obtained the data for the entire data and made some interesting discoveries.
There were around 1800+ participants in the trend, with an original tweet count of 10k+ tweets. This does not count the retweets, as that would be redundant.
Imagine my surprise to see that the most active ones were not Pakistani. There were Baloch participants but not as much as the ones next door. Here is a chart for the Top 10 participants in the trend. Ignore "gamesreeder" as it got in the way.
Examples of the sort of accounts which were tweeting in favor of the trend.
Samples of tweets which were sent out that day.
Names of the participants in the trend. The handle is on the left, with the number of tweets on the right. This is not a complete list.
The trend may not have been noticed in Pakistan but is important because we can see how they have been trying to interfere in our business.
Now let's go to how CPEC is an issue for certain people. I noticed another hashtag which claimed that it was exploiting our people. No prizes for guessing who was more visible here.
This is the TL of the hashtag which reached its peak back in June, around the same time as the attack on the KSE (29th June).
Once again please ignore the "Gamesredeer" account as it's not relevant. Look at the rest of the names here.
Now we have a chart of the verified people who participated in the trend. Most of them are not Pakistani.

These two trends are just some of the examples of how they are trying to wage a disinformation war against us. Yet, some people are in denial.
I forgot to add that I also found some Altafists in a couple of trends, where they have been tweeting about Sindhudesh. What does that signify?
