Is Pakistan Military getting ready for yet another take over?

Since OBL's death in a military town of Pakistan, army has literally taken over the country’s foreign office not that it was ever under complete civilian control but usually during civilian times army does not order / manage day to day activities of foreign office. But Pakistan’s general are in aggressive mood, the head of the Government was dispatched to China immediately to make sure China keeps supporting Pakistan military , as it always has.

Coincidently, the Taliban attacks in Southern Afghanistan have been on the rise and also the brutalities of Pakistan’s forces (Frontier Constabulary and secret agencies) have increased in Balochistan. The number of mutilated dead bodies found along road sides in Balochistan has increased, these are the bodies of Baloch activists, students, lawyers, engineers, doctors, professors and civilians who are abducted (forced disappearances) , tortured and killed by Pakistan’s secret agencies and forces.

Taliban are the precious assets of Pakistan’s inter-services intelligence agency and hence their activities reflect the temperature in control rooms of GHQ. Baloch have long been labeled and marketed by Pro-Taliban media in Pakistan as agents of India and Jews and therefore whenever army needs a boost in morale they launch a massive operation in Balochistan to support their ongoing systemic genocide of Baloch nation.

It seems clear that army has decided to intensify its genocide of Baloch nation; large deployments of Frontier Constabulary in Balochistan, a few hundred miles from Afghan border also make it easier for Pakistan’s Frontier Constabulary (Pashtu speaking) to cross the border and help their Taliban brethren. Something that Pakistan’s forces have been doing in the past.


Baloch are resisting the assault of Pakistan’s forces as much as they can but a civilian population without outside support cannot fight an army that has no regard for human rights. The civilized world is still trying to “work with Pakistan military” but it seems clear that very soon the military in Pakistan will be taking over again.
Generals in Pakistan army consider civilian government too incompetent to defend them and hence they want to be on the negotiation table alone with no bloody civilians around. Working with army during Zia and Musharraf regimes did not solve the problem of Pakistan supported terrorism and wooing Kiyani and Pasha would not be any different.

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.

International Community’s Attitude towards Baloch Resistance Movement

Despite propaganda by ISI controlled media and Pakistan’s Government that Baloch freedom fighters are Jewish agents and on the pay role of western powers, the fact of the matter is that it’s Pakistan Military that is highly funded by western countries. Baloch political activists, political leaders, lawyers, students and human rights activists have been demanding that western powers should ensure that the military equipment provided to Pakistan to combat religious fanatics is not used against liberal Baloch people who are campaigning for their basic human rights. But it is evident now, that western world has strategically decided to turn a deaf ear towards human rights violation by Pakistan army in Balochistan. Close to a 100 mutilated bodies of Baloch political activists, students, lawyers and doctors have been thrown out on the streets since December 2010 till to date but still UN, EU, Amnesty and other organization have failed to take effective action against Pakistan’s genocide of Baloch nation.

It makes sense that Baloch leadership has finally come to an understanding that western world will continue to support Pakistan army and ISI despite its barbaric crimes against Baloch civilians in Balochistan. It was observed that during the floods and other natural disasters Pakistani Government made sure that Baloch nation did not receive any assistance, donors were asked to stay away from Balochistan, which they did. Western countries have been very strict in admitting liberal, peace loving Baloch nationals in their societies for instance Hyrbiyar Marri’s application for asylum was denied and he had to go the court and UNHCR was initially advised not to provide any assistance to Brahamdagh Bugti because it may upset ISI chief.

The Baloch intelligentsia and leadership has finally come to the conclusion that Baloch nation has to fight for its basic human rights without any support from UN, EU, Human Rights Organizations and Western Capitals.

Abdul Malik Reiki another Baloch Leader killed by Iran’s fascist Government

Baloch homeland is occupied by different countries like Pakistan and Iran and Baloch nation is forced to live under the fascist regimes of Iran and Pakistan. Baloch homeland is divided between Iran and Pakistan by a false international border “Goldsmith Line”. But Baloch on both sides of “Goldsmith Line” are treated in the same way. Iran and Pakistan keep on exploiting natural resources in Baloch Homeland but deny even the basic human rights to Baloch nation. Lack of freedom of speech and use of force against innocent Baloch civilians has forced Baloch nation on both sides of Goldsmith line in Balochistan and Siestan to take up arms in self defense.
Both Iranian and Pakistan Governments have a similar policy when it comes to exploitation of natural resources in Baloch Homeland and suppressing Baloch Struggle for Freedom. Baloch nation on both sides of Goldsmith line has been fighting for its independence from Iran and Pakistan. Pakistan Government has targeted many Baloch leaders including Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, Mir Balach Marri, Ghulam Muhammad Baloch and many others including thousands of innocent civilians, kidnapped and tortured Baloch political activists and Baloch students.
In Siestan (western Balochistan occupied by Iran) Jundallah initially organized its resistance movement on demands based on equal rights for minority SUNNIES (Baloch) in a Shia majority country. The Baloch in Iran are denied all basic human rights including the right to speak in their mother tongue (Balochi). Abdul Malik Reiki became the voice of Baloch nation in Iran. He was very popular on both sides of Goldsmith line even though he was using a religious tone still it was obvious he was fighting for rights of Baloch nation.
There was a witch hunt going on, on both sides of Goldsmith line Pakistani and Iranian Governments were desperate to kill this voice which was demanding rights for Baloch nation and was targeting fascist Iranian regime. Finally Iran was able to intercept a flight in its air and arrest Abdul Malik Reiki once he was arrested it was obvious he would be hanged. Iran hangs large number of innocent Baloch people every month how was such a fascist regime going to give Abdul Mali Reiki a fair trial.

But Baloch Struggle for Freedom will go on despite the killings of leaders on both sides of Goldsmith line in fact it’s the blood of martyrs that has strengthened and sustained this struggle. Killing of Abdul Malik Reiki has sparked anger in Baloch nation and there are also signs that Jundallah has in principal agreed to organize its struggle on a secular ideology. The ultimate objective of Baloch Struggle on both sides of Goldsmith line is creation of an independent Baloch State “Greater Balochistan”.
