Baloch rebel poet: Dreams cannot be forsaken
Dreams cannot be forsaken: Poem by: Dr. Allah Nazar Baloch (March 5, 2013)
Baloch missing persons: a soul rending saga, Pt 1
People view these atrocities disinterestedly because the Baloch missing and dead have been relegated to merely statistical status
Missing: the boy on the bicycle
Hafiz Saeed became one of almost 1300 disappeared Baloch citizens whose families have been holding almost a perpetual vigil for their release. They travel from distant villages and towns to hold three-month-long protest camps outside Islamabad and Karachi Press Club but our press usually ignores them. When Voice of Missing Baloch Persons recently held a rally to mark one thousand days of their protest, no TV channels covered it.
The truth about Balochistan, Part I and II
The first universities, schools and other centres of learning in Balochistan were established by moderate and nationalist Baloch tribal chiefs who were staunch opponents of colonial rule in the Subcontinent, particularly in Balochistan.

Of Nobel Peace Laureates and Dirty Wars
If a Nobel Peace Prize can be bestowed upon President Barack Obama who supports a drone target-kill program infamous for its "˜kill list,' then surely an organization caught in U.S. foreign policy cross-fire deserves consideration for its herculean efforts to inform and educate the citizens of Balochistan and Pakistan about the world in which they live. Let's give peace a chance. I nominate Daily Tawar for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Turning Balochistan Into a Cemetery
This is not the first time that a military operation has been carried out by the Frontier Corps (FC), a paramilitary force, in southern Balochistan's Mashky, Awaran District. The FC launched another operation just two months ago. Unlike the current offensive, this earlier, mid-October operation was denounced from the floor of the provincial assembly by the Balochistan Minister for Agriculture, Asad Baloch. He said that the operation had been carried out without the Government of Balochistan's consent. Their silence this time around is telling, and has caused many to speculate that they did issue their consent when the FC launched the operation on December 25th.
A City Without an Obituary
The attack on the Hazara Shia community hall in Quetta has finally shocked the Pakistani state into taking action against the slaughter of that community in Balochistan.
Pakistan: A Bloody Terror to Itself and the West
