Newly appointed Chief of Pakistan Army, General Qamar Javed Bajwa

From getting promoted to Lt. General to General, here's our new head of Pakistan's incredibly powerful and vigilant Army, General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Appointed as the 16th Chief of Army Staff in Pakistan's 69 year old history, here's what you need to know about the man who will fill the deep shoes and succeed General Raheel Sharif as his successor from 29th November 2016 and on wards:

- He is known for his 'straightforwardness and blunt' command and directions when it comes to terrorism, violence and injustice.

- He has served at IG of Training and Evaluation — the position General Raheel Sharif held before becoming army chief.

- Has served Pakistan Army for more than 35+ years.

- He has commanded the 10 Corps, the army’s largest corps, which is responsible for the area along the Line of Control. That implies, he knows everything that's happening at the highly important LOC between India and Pakistan.

- He considers 'extremism' as the biggest threat to Pakistan. And after extremism, he believes that India is the biggest threat to his motherland.

- Has served as a Brigade Commander in Congo for United Nations.

- He is known for staying connected to every single person who is working under his command. He believes in 'communicating' every Army official during work rather than just sitting and seeing things.

- He belongs to the Baloch Regiment - a regiment that is known for producing three previous Generals who headed Pakistan Army in 69 years.

- His military colleagues say he is not attention-seeking and remains well-connected with his troops.

- Known as a person who doesn't believe in politics and protocol as such, as per his colleague. He stated: He is extremely professional, but very easy-going and full of compassion.

- Has over more than 15 years and plus experience of handling affairs in Kashmir and the northern areas of the country. As a Major General, he led the Force Command Northern Areas effectively.

- He resembles General Raheel Sharif in terms of policies, ideologies, thinking and approach to strategies/planning and etc.

And that's about it. He's the current 4-star General ranked official. And will he prove to establish himself as a perfect successor to General Raheel Sharif's remarkable legacy? Only time can tell. General Qamar Javed Bajwa, people.
