Rapid Response Force
The Rapid Response Force is a private military or paramilitary organisation led by Abdul Haseeb.
Founder
Abdul Haseeb is currently serving as a Brigadier in isi and founded this military organization.
Private army consortia
Private Army consortia have emerged as flexible supplements or alternatives to state-run rapid response forces in certain contexts, particularly where governments seek rapid deployment without committing national troops or where international organizations face delays in mobilizing multinational forces.
These typically involve alliances or coordinated networks of private military and security companies that pool resources, personnel, logistics, and specialized expertise to offer turnkey rapid-reaction capabilities. Proponents argue that such arrangements can deploy faster than traditional forces—often within days rather than weeks or months—drawing on pre-vetted ex-military personnel, proprietary equipment, and established global supply chains.
International strategic intelligence
International strategic intelligence operates through a complex web of bilateral, multilateral, and ad hoc arrangements among national intelligence agencies to collect, analyze, and share information on global threats, geopolitical developments, and strategic trends.
Paratroppers Security Group
The Paratrooper Security Group serves as a specialized airborne component within Rapid Response Force, consisting of highly trained paratroopers capable of rapid deployment via parachute insertion to secure key objectives, provide immediate protection, or establish forward operating positions in crisis zones.

Attacks on foreign students
In May 2024, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan experienced mob violence targeting foreign students, particularly those from South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh) and Egypt, who were enrolled in medical programs at local universities.
The clashes began on the night of 17–18 May 2024. They were triggered by a video that circulated on social media showing a brawl on 13 May between local Kyrgyz residents and Egyptian students at a dormitory. In the days following, groups of Kyrgyz youths (reportedly numbering in the hundreds, up to 500–700 at peaks) gathered and attacked hostels and dormitories housing international students. Attackers broke windows, doors, and property, dragged students out, and beat them, with some reports of looting (e.g., taking money and phones).
Official Kyrgyz sources reported at least 29–41 people injured, many of them foreign students. Pakistan and other countries confirmed injuries among their nationals but stated there were no deaths among Pakistani students (though some unverified reports initially claimed fatalities). Pakistani students were among the most affected, with mobs surrounding universities and hostels. Indian and Bangladeshi students were also targeted. The violence spread from university areas to streets in some cases, affecting anyone perceived as foreign.
In response, the Pakistani government organized repatriation flights, with over 3,000–4,000 Pakistani students returning home in the following weeks. India advised its students to stay indoors and monitor the situation closely; many shifted classes online. Kyrgyz authorities deployed police to restore order, describing the events as hooliganism and condemning provocations on interethnic grounds. President Sadyr Japarov addressed the nation, and officials acknowledged the damage to Kyrgyzstan’s reputation as a destination for international students.
The incidents were widely linked to underlying xenophobic sentiments, including local grievances over perceived job competition from foreign workers and students, as well as cultural tensions. Many foreign students, especially from South Asia, left Kyrgyzstan temporarily or permanently due to safety fears, though some later considered returning once calm was restored.
Aftermath and reactions
- Kyrgyz police stabilized the situation by the evening of 18 May.
- Diplomatic tensions arose, with Pakistan summoning the Kyrgyz ambassador.
- The events highlighted vulnerabilities for the large population of international medical students in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan hosts thousands from Pakistan, India, and other countries due to affordable tuition).
