The protestors organise themselves on the road outside the fortified US consulate building before they begin to march.

“We want transparency and accountability of any secret or political games happening between the US and Pakistan. We want open disclosure of information of whatever is happening in the corridors of power in our country today,” said Bemisal, an International Relations student and one of the organisers.

“GO NATO GO!” shouts an angry protestor.

Demonstrators block half the street outside the embassy, holding up an enormous Pakistani flag and passionately singing the national anthem at the top of their voices.

“Our political leaders don’t visit the US as much as our military generals do, and half our budget is taken away by the army. If they can’t defend their own selves, how will they defend us?” said Muhammad Yousuf, member of ‘Pakistan Awami Sangat’, a local student fraternity operating in the Korangi area to create awareness amongst the masses.

Children also actively took part in the protest.
