Pakistan's former dictator Pervez Musharraf has suffered yet another indignity when an irate lawyer lobbed a shoe at him as he attempted to enter a court in the southern city of Karachi.

The incident was the latest misfortune to befall a man who led Pakistan for nine years but is now struggling to revive his political career after returning last Sunday from more than four years in self-imposed exile.

Musharraf was not hit by the flying footwear, which is believed to have been thrown as the former president was walking through the court building surrounded by security guards, supporters and journalists.

Analysts say Musharraf has grossly exaggerated his political pulling power. Before the shoe incident, he had attracted a flicker of interest on social media after posting a picture of himself on Twitter exercising in the gym of his hotel.

5. More Pakistani citizens are becoming aware

That while Musharraf is feeding his people what they want to hear, he's also taking payments from the USA while tacitly agreeing to violent incursions into Pakistan.

Innocent deaths from drone strikes in Pakistan are now estimated in the thousands.
