Baloch Hal editorial: Joining the Establishment
Chief Minister Raisani has recommended the Baloch youth to give up support to the nationalist movement and become a part of the establishment to live a better life.
Timeless tactics
Any self-respecting government would have resigned long ago but this toothless and powerless CM and cabinet continue to selflessly serve the Centre and persist in hoodwinking people with bluster and false promises.
Debacle Policies for Balochistan
Even today the family member of Zakir Majeed Baloch are actively running their hunger strike camp for the recovery of Zakir Majeed Baloch and thousand other Baloch activists.
Clueless in Quetta
Mr. Malik needs to be reminded that use of coercive force to crush the Baloch nationalist movement is widespread and has a long history in the province. If he has come up with the idea of "˜use of force as the only option' to restore order in the province, then he is woefully divorced from reality.
"We are your boss!"
In any part of the world and in any culture it is considered inappropriate, if not illegal, to trespass on another person's property. The one who does can be considered a criminal. But in my world, it is quite the opposite. Here in this small village in Balochistan, the homeowner is forced to say nothing; otherwise he will be shot dead.
Highlight on the past: Middleman in the Middle East
"This is Alastair Crooke. I'm afraid I might be a little late," he apologised. "I've been kidnapped." The district commissioner sent 12 Pakistani troops to retrieve Crooke, but they found him in no hurry to leave. He was, he said, going to stay put until something had been done about the tribesmen's complaints.
Rehman Malik rubs salt on Baloch wounds
As if history is repeating itself, today under the PPP government, jihadist organizations are being pampered, Ahmedi mosques are being torched, Shias are being killed, Christian villages are being burnt to ashes and the army is engaged in a blood bath in Balochistan. They say that those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. This time it would be the whole PPP as a party signing off on its political death warrant, along with the leadership to the Pakistan army generals.
Rehman Malik's War
Now that I hear our naive Interior Minister Rehman Malik's new Balochistan plan, I find many things truly hilarious.
The federal minister has "super-banned" the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA). I mean how do you ban a banned organization?
Of Pakistani Death Squads, Baluch Masses and Slaughterhouses
The Pakistani occupation has adopted a more sinister strategy to suppress the Baluch Independence movement. In order to save itself from charges of "˜crimes against humanity' it now employs a multifaceted strategy that focuses not only on eliminating Baluch Resistance Fighters, but also on taking out politicians, activists and civilians with the use of death squads.
Poem by Khalid Hayat Jamaldini
Also, please read Khalid Jamaldini's essay 'When will the Balochs stop being victims of the Pakistani paramilitary forces?': "While in Washington DC when carrying out my research, I had to cross the Senate, Supreme Court and Capitol Hill buildings in order to get to the Congress Library but not even a single day have I been stopped but in my own land I have being asked ten times in one single hour to prove my identity."
