Pakistan PM Imran Khan Ousted from Power, Blames "U.S.-Backed Regime Change" 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has been ousted from power after
losing a no-confidence vote in Parliament. Hundreds of thousands of
Khan's supporters marched on Sunday to protest. In a tweet, Khan
described his removal as a form of "U.S.-backed regime change."
Pakistani lawmakers have elected Shahbaz Sharif - the brother of former
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif - to serve as the new prime minister. Khan
and other members of his PTI party have resigned en masse from
Parliament to protest the vote.
