Pakistan’s turbulent politics recently saw former Prime Minister Imran Khan survive an assassination attempt. Khan is trying to force elections after being ousted in a vote of no confidence and after falling out with the nation's army chief.

With such an instable political landscape how does anyone make sense of the recent events and the country as a whole.
