U.S. Enables Pakistan's Oppression of Balochistan
Baloch independence would actually satisfy America's geopolitical interests, considering a free Balochistan would represent a beacon of democracy in a region run amok with Islamic fervor -- a secular counterweight, a society that believes in a traditional nonviolent version of Islam and a people that respect the natural rights of each individual.
A lasting solution for Balochistan
The Balochistan solution has to be a political one rather than a "˜white-wash' of replacing the military with a paramilitary force.
The Baloch factor: deterring Iranian extremism in the Middle East
The GCC countries' intellectual and human rights campaigners never say a single word against the blatant violation of human rights and the genocide of the Baloch nation at the hands of theocratic regime of Iran and the security state of Pakistan, let alone their rulers. Instead, they are showering Pakistan with their free oil.
Borders and Disorder
From the breakup of Yugoslavia in early 1990s to the recent independence of South Sudan, and the ongoing crisis in Libya, it has increasingly become clear that the legal norms, such as non-interference and respect of state sovereignty, are not applicable when it comes to abusive behaviour of dominant groups, rogue armies or regimes within the quasi states. Sovereignty, indeed, comes with responsibilities.
Failing the Baloch
THE mutilated bodies surface quietly in various parts of the province, and usually without any forewarning. The killings take place sporadically but surely, the bodies dumped on unforgiving mountains or on deserted, half-constructed roads. Perhaps they are meant to constitute a message for certain segments of society.
Dr. Nazar: a man's struggle for his country
In a rare glimpse into this conflict and into a region veiled by its near-blackout media status, Dr. Allah Nazar, one of the best-known Baloch resistance leaders with boots on the ground, agreed to an interview.
How many more have to die before we can stop weeping?
For how long will our mothers and sisters have to weep for the mutilated corpses of our brothers "gifted" to us by Pakistani forces? They are punished with death because they were fighting for the rights of Balochs in their own state land.
Angry Baloch people
Only collaborators can present eulogies and excuses in return for the increasing number of dead bodies of educated Baloch youth being dumped daily
Chasing Bramdagh Bugti, a Baloch Hal editorial
According to a fresh report, the government of Pakistan has officially contacted Swiss authorities asking them to refuse political asylum to Baloch nationalist leader Nawabzada Bramdagh Bugti. A grandson of former governor and chief minister Nawab Akbar Bugti, the junior Bugti heads his own political outfit, the Baloch Republican Party (BRP).
The height of barbarity
THE Pakistani establishment's love of the grotesque is apparently incurable. Instead of talking to the people of Balochistan about their raw wounds it is raising the matter with the Indian security people. Meanwhile, the dirge from the luckless province is getting more and more bitter.
