Baloch stay away from Pakistan’s Pro-Taliban “All Parties Conference”.

The coordination between various stakeholders in Baloch freedom movement may not be ideal, but a recent decision by Baloch leaders in different parties to stay away from Pakistan’s pro-Taliban “all parties’ conference” seems to be a joint decision. Baloch have been campaigning against the Pakistan military sponsored talibanization in Pashtun districts of Balochistan since early days of Afghan war during Pakistani General Zia Ul Haq’s era. The absence from “APC” shows that Baloch are not interested in Pakistan’s pro-Taliban policy , and seek an end to Pakistan military’s support to Pro-Taliban religious elements.

Pakistan army and its secret agencies have intensified its “kill and dump” policies in Balochistan despite various reports and warnings by international human rights organizations. Mere reports seem to have little effect on Pakistan’s military and it continues with its crimes against humanity in Balochistan, where young Baloch students, political activists, lawyers, journalists, doctors and social workers are forcibly disappeared and their mutilated bodies’ surface on roadsides.

When the Prime Minister of Pakistan traveled to Quetta and delivered his eloquent speech about reconciliation, the same week Baloch nation received 6 mutilated dead bodies, that speaks volumes for Pakistan’s reconciliation and political process in Balochistan. Until and unless United Nations and international community decides to intervene and take notice of Pakistan’s atrocities against Baloch nation, Pakistan military and secret agencies will continue their “kill and dump” policies in Balochistan.

Pakistan rejects human rights reports and commandant frontier constabulary vows to intensify “Action” In Balochistan

If there were any misconceptions in any one’s mind that Pakistan was going to abandon its systematic genocide of Baloch nation just because; Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, Asian Human Rights Commision or even United Nations for that purpose , condemned the brutalities of Pakistan’s forces in Balochistan. These should be clear by now as the commandant of Pakistan’s Frontier Constabulary has announced recently that soon there will be “Peace” in Balochistan.

The salient features of Military’s peace process in Balochistan has included,

• An onslaught on Baloch homeland soon after the creation of Pakistan

• Occupation of Baloch homeland by force against wishes of Baloch nation

• A military action against Baloch tribes in 1970s with resultant migration of thousands of Baloch tribes to Afghanistan (especially the Marri tribes)

• Nuclear tests inside Baloch civilian population

• Intensification of military operation against Baloch nation in 2000 and military attacks on Dear Bugti, Kohlu, Awaran, Noushki, Punjgur and other areas in Balochistan.

• Target killings of Baloch leaders, students, lawyers, activists and professors

• Enforced disappearance (abduction) of more than 14000 Baloch civilians

• Torturing and shooting of more than 250 Baloch students, activists ,journalists , lawyers, and political workers


After all of the above when finally international community has started paying attention to gross human rights violations in Balochistan, Pakistan’s generals instead of apologizing for the heinous crimes against humanity are promising to intensify the genocide of Baloch nation, and yes they call it “peace”. It’s the same similar peace that Pakistan is promoting in Afghanistan, Kashmir and even in Mumbai through its “Partners in Peace Process” these partners include such terrorist organizations as Taliban, Jammat E Dawa, and others.


At this moment Baloch nation and families of enforced disappearance victims are looking towards international community to do more than just words…..

Baloch Struggle for Independence, provides an opportunity to fight Pakistan and Iran sponsored terrorism

If there ever was doubt in any one's mind regarding Pakistan army's role in promoting terrorism, it should be clear now. There are many many safe heavens like the one where Bin Ladin was found, being run by Pakistan's ISI especially in Quetta and other pashtoon areas of Balochistan.


Baloch nation has been protesting since ever that Pakistan's army is not interested in fighting the likes of Bin Ladin and Mulla Omar because ISI considers them important strategic assets and all funds provided to Pakistan military are being used to conduct a systematic genocide of liberal Baloch people who are fighting for the independence of their homeland from Pakistan and Iran.

Baloch nation can play a pivotal role in detection and eradication of ISI's safe houses in Balochistan where Talibans leaders from Afghanistan are being protected. But organizations like BLA,BLF and BRA need surveillance equipment and resources to launch an effective campaign against ISI presence in their homeland. These organizations are currently doing the same but their efforts can not match the resourcefulness of Pakistan's army at present.

Building the capacity of Baloch national entities to fight against Talibanization and ISI presence in Balochistan could prove to be an effective strategic decision to fight Talibans not just in Afghanistan but actually across the border.
