Afghanistan is a halt-place for ISIS not a destination
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Translated By Chakar Baloch
Regardless of the fact that Ashraf Ghani’s first priority is peace but his news strategy under which he wants to achieve peace is not viable at all. On top of Afghanistan’s all pending issues Pakistan is preparing two new challenges for Afghanistan. Firstly different groups of Taliban will be reorganised under the banner of ISIS. Secondly it [Pakistan] will be exempted from having any influencing on the Taliban. It is clear that the US or Afghanistan cannot ask Pakistan to help them to start negotiations with the DAAESH or ISIS because Pakistan is infamous for giving refugee and diplomatic cover to Taliban and Al-Qaeeda leadership but not guardianship of ISIS.
Obviously Pakistan will now pretend that it is helpless before the ISIS and that most people are leaving Taliban and joining the DAAESH. People like Mulla Rauf Alizai the head of ISIS in Helmand, Hafiz Saeed Khan Orakzai the Amir of ISIS Khorasan region, Gulzaman Alfatheh ISIS’s Amir in Khyber Agency, Khazifah the Amir of Deer region, Omar Mansoor & Sheikh Muslim Dost the leaders of ISIS Khaibar Agency, Gulam Rasool Amir of ISIS in Waziristan, Talah Amir of DAAESH in Lucky Marawat, Hafiz Dawlat Amir ISIS of Kurrom Agency, Khalid Mansoor Amir ISIS in Hingu, Sheikh Mofti Hassan Amir ISIS in Peshawar , Qari Haroon & Sheikh Mohsin Amirs ISIS Kunar Afghanistan, Abu Abdullah Amir of ISIS in Nangarhar Afghanistan.
As far as the Taliban are concerned I have discussed this issue in my previous articles that in both cases Pakistan now has only one demand – to conduct operations against extremist it need more financial and military aid [from Western Word]. As always Pakistan will use those resources to committ Pashtun genocide in different names and on different fronts. Despite distrust on Pakistan, the United States has failed to make an effective mechanism to hold Pakistan accountable for the aid it receives in the name of fight against extremism. So, it is clear that the new aid that Pakistan gets will not be used any different than the previous aids.
President Ashraf Ghani’s new policies are complete opposite of the previous Afghan rulers’ policies. Under his [Ghani’s policies] the expansionist ambitions of Pakistan are being ignored in a wishful desire for peace. A sample of Ghani’s new strategy could be seen in a conversation with Mr Ajit Doval, the national security advisor of India Afghanistan’s long lasting friend: “President Ghani told Indian National Security Advisor Ajit Doval that Afghanistan would no longer seek Indian military aid. Second, he made a series of hugely concessional offers to Pakistan. Third, Pakistan will host the next Heart of Asia Ministerial instead of India. Fourth, Afghanistan, China and the US now appear to accept that Pakistan will never allow transit trade to India through its territory.”
That's why the former afghan president Hamid Karzai looked in extreme anxiety because none other than him knows the reality better that Pakistan shook hands with the Mujahideen but later when they started rejecting Pakistan’s supervision and wanted to act independently, Pakistan made them fight against each other and strengthen the Taliban to give them control of Afghanistan and planned to make Afghanistan its fifth province. Now once again Pakistan is planning exactly same conspiracy against the new Afghan government. The fall of Mujahideen was a fight for power grabbing between them. Despite formation of a national Unity government there is still an environment of uncertainty in Afghanistan and that is why the formation of the new cabinet was delayed.
Hundreds of people from Pashtun areas of President Ghani are joining the ISIS. According to local sources the head of ISIS Helmand province, a former Taliban commander, roams freely with a convoy of between 250 to 300 vehicles. Such development can change the scenario in this part of the world any time and the National Unity government of Afghanistan could be the first victim of any such change.
The most significant concern for U.S its allies especially Russia and central Asian republics is that Afghanistan is not only the destination of ISIS but it is their halt place. Before reaching to central Asian republic’s energy resources, they want to take control of all the trade routes first. In this context Afghanistan will undoubtedly be effected but how this scenario going to affect Russia and central Asian internally that is a completely separate debate.
Tension between U.S and Russia and the artificial relationships between Russia and Pakistan is a best opportunity for Pakistan, Taliban and the ISIS. It will act as a barriers and stop major Western powers from forming a joint strategy against them. Due to unrealistic proximity between Pakistan and Afghanistan, U.S, Russia and other regional powers in their efforts to balance the regional power could side-line India which will not only affect the development projects in Afghanistan but it will also deteriorate the economics situations of already war-torn Afghanistan by bringing a new wave of unemployment. The hundreds of thousands of unemployed youth of a deteriorate Afghanistan could then easily become prey of terrorist and extremist forces.
If Pakistan is the priority of new afghan government or they are inclined to rely on Pakistan, then the Afghan policy towards Baloch will see a 180 degree shift. A policy shift regarding Baloch will deprive Afghanistan and rest of civilised of a natural ally. Pakistan duplicitous policies against west has defeated the successful policy of the US and forced it to return from Afghanistan without any achievements. If Afghanistan adopts a similar policy about Baloch people, it will make matters easy for Pakistan and put the rest of the world in difficulties and complications.
Although the Baloch have been fighting for their independence since 1839, their struggle directly has nothing to do with Afghanistan but the heat of current Baloch liberation struggle has prevented a large area being used for anti-Afghanistan activities. The presence of religious militants in Pashtun areas of Balochistan, Quetta Shura and constant reports of Taliban leaders presence are concrete examples. While in Baloch areas there has been reports about presence of extremists in only some place which are held by pro-establishment and pro-Pakistan Sardars, Nawabs and Mullahs.
Based on above facts it is clear that Baloch are not only fighting for their freedom and survival but they are also an active part of the world’s global fight against terrorism. Hence ignoring the Baloch liberation struggle or not giving it a required importance, the dream to win the war against global extremism cannot come true.

Handing over Gwadar to China,
Baloch Resistance, Indian Dilemma and Concerns of World Powers.
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
The rapacious exploitation of Baloch Coast and natural resources by Iran and Pakistan is as continuing as did other colonial powers with their colonies world over.
However, it is noteworthy to mention here that the die heart Baloch has continued to resist the exploitation of national resources despite being left alone at the mercy of two‘‘ jihadi’’ states i.e. Pakistan and Iran.
Though the resistance could not put a complete halt to exploitation, it slowed the velocity to a considerable level.
This time around, Baloch as a nation with a strong resolve to get rid of slavery has succeeded in registering their massage to Pakistani and Iranian states that their forced relationship with them does not work anymore.
Though with a limited beginning, the resistance has now permeated extensively every strata of Baloch society and, of course, it has matured to the desirable level.
Despite enjoying international financial and political supports, both Pakistan and Iran have failed to contain Baloch resistance since 2005. And that is the big reason that they’ve now decided to include China to crush the resistance.
Apparently it seems normal for any country to strike trade deal and establish defense ties with one another but given the geopolitics of the region i.e. Baloch national issue, the withdrawal of America and Nato Forces from Afghanistan, and in the presence of prominent role of America, India and Russia in the region, striking such strategic deal as Gwadar’s handover to
China presents a morbid interest that Pakistan is harboring against the will of Baloch nation.
This deal on the one hand, not only helps Pakistan to perpetuate its imperial and colonial rule over Baloch nation, on the other, it also presents a threat to world peace and Baloch survival.
To what extend this deal is for commercial considerations. Lin Boqiang, the director of the China Centre for Energy Economics Research at Xiamen University says;
“China has agreed to take over the Gwadar port in the troubled Baluchistan province despite security risks due to its strategic value and not for commercial considerations”.
Now that take over has created a security situation in the region. Surprisingly, given the security situation, it was China that withdrew from Iran and Pakistan gas pipeline program for security reason, but today the same reason security did not deter it from committing strategic deal with Pakistan. It means both countries are aiming at something different.
Baloch, as the sovereign owner of Balochistan’s resources, are against of such projects and struggle to force Pakistan to unconditionally withdraw from Balochistan. And beside this both India and America too opposed that project of IP. Here several questions come in our mind but two questions are very important to be treated in this write up. First how come all of sudden Pakistan became so generous to China by handing over Gwadar to it for military use? In other words what is Pakistani motive behind this? Secondly, do they succeed in their schemes against the odds of Baloch resistance and American opposition?
Pakistani Motive: Pakistan’s kindness to China isn’t a coincidental one: Pakistan is drowning and trying to clutch at a straw. Internationally isolated and internally destabilized Pakistani rulers are compelled to offer a big sacrifice so that the two countries benefit from it.
As the saying goes, “There's no such thing as a free lunch” cheap land, cheap labour, two million settlers are pogrommed to be settled in strategic cities like Gwadar to upset the demographic setup of Baloch population in the name of job creation.
Being in close vicinity of Gulf countries abundant with gas and oil and setting on the treasures of Baloch natural resources, to establish a permanent energy and trade corridor through that port of Gwadar from Gulf countries to Eastern China, in order to counter its, formal rival, India’s sphere of influence, helping China to establish its hegemony in Indian Ocean which is already engaged in a strategic move of encircling Indian marine power in the region through Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh by establishing ports on their respective shores.
The main reason of bestowing many benefits upon China is that Pakistan knows that it cannot maintain its colonial rule over Baloch homeland in the long run. Neither it’s in a position to
convince world capitalists to invest in Balochistan, nor does it has any moral ground to restore its lost trust at international level.
As a result of its own wrong doings, it has resorted to such a strategic move to punish Baloch nation along with world community.
In return, China not only internally helps Pakistan to perpetuate human rights abuses, breach international laws and continue to rule over other people lands as a colonial power, but also, at international forums, china lobbies for Pakistan to strengthen its economy and get weapons. And externally a super power like Russia would lend its support to Pakistan as result of Chinese lobbying, which eventually forms a block.
Though, for her provisional interests, China is ready to support Pakistan, but there comes a day when China repents its support to Pakistan just like America that supported Pakistani war against pro Soviet Kabul government.
Apparently China Constructs a Port here for her own end, in return Pakistan benefits from it in form of military and economic aid, but all these aids end up in the terrorism producing factories run by ISI situated in different parts of Pakistan, in general terms they are called Madrasas numbering hundreds of thousands. Their representatives are the members of Pakistani parliaments belonging to different Islamic political Parties where they directly influence the legislative process. Now these Madrasas and Mullah became the compulsory components of Pakistani state structure. In other words this state is as addicted to Islamic terrorism as a drug addicted whose first priority is to satisfy his habit whenever he receives a penny. America and its European allies have realized their mistakes therefore they’re opposing it. But despite that Pakistan has signed the agreement by repeating the mantra of its economic importance. As, according to some analysts, America is against it, therefore it does not succeed. But we don’t think so, as Pakistan has blackmailed entire world, and of course, America by going against the will of international community.
Did America agree to an irresponsible country like Pakistan to become an atomic power? Was America happy to see Pakistan provide safe heaven to Osama Bin Landen in its military garrison city? Did America consent to Pakistan’s heinous crime of proliferation of WMD to countries like Northern Korea, Iran and Libya? Did America want Pakistan to mortar shell her and ally forces in Afghanistan? Do you think America is happy that Pakistan has drawn a distinguishing line between good and bad Taliban which has created obstacle for effort in Afghanistan. There are several areas where American and Pakistani interests are contradicting each other. If Pakistan can get done several such things by playing cat and mouse with America, it will not listen to anybody regarding this project, as China’s help
directly boasts its arrogance
Indian protest and concern can be a reason of satisfaction to Pakistan and the valid question for world community is how to prevent it from playing such dangerous game? Does imposing economic sanctions work on it like Iran, or not? Our answer is 50% yes and 50% no. By yes, we mean that sanctions weaken it and its affiliates but if the concerned forces did not take timely advantage of that weakness and the state and its terrorist squads secret agencies having their back against the wall, it is here where their border starts.
Because, in our point of view, the sanctions do work beyond that specific limit, it does not mean that Pakistan would seek an alternative or another power would come forwards and help it out to walk or even creep. In fact, Pakistan is in possess of two types of dangerous weapons: atom bombs alone with chemical stockpiles and a highly organized army of fanatic platoons, In the event of being pushed against the wall, they’ll all go berserk like mad dogs and turn everything upside down in the region. its impacts and ramifications need to be treated separately, but here in concise, it can be said that entire region start bleeding and several news Afghanistans would emerge out of it. The only treatment of this disease is that Baloch freedom movement, at least, must be revitalized before Pakistan is completely pushed against the wall so that it could internally counter and neutralize the negative forces before they split over other boundaries.
But it must be kept in mind that America and the civilized world, including India are serious about Baloch national freedom movement. Because Baloch leadership, Particularly Hyr Beyar Marri, Dr Alla Nazar and Brahamdag Bugti never approve of any proxy war and as a whole, Baloch nation too never approve of such notion as proxy war because their commitment to freedom movement is based on national consciousness. They hope that international community would sincerely adopt a straight forwards stance about their fate. If it is meticulously observed that one would find that an independent secular Baloch state is in interest of international community.
In concise, Baloch is the only effective power that can stop China from acquiring Gwadar Project. Pakistan, without their consent cannot succeed in its designs. If the world community supported Baloch nation, they themselves would put an end to that project for their own interest. And if world did not come forwards and supported Baloch, then Pakistan and China together would exert their all-out force to liquidate entire Baloch nation which is supposed to be the only natural ally of the positive forces in the entire region - thus the loot and plunder of vast resources of Baloch nation without any hindrance and from here both would continue to disrupt the balance of power in the region at their ease.
After all, Pakistani rulers have severally time reiterated that they’re not in need of Baloch nation; they need only their precious land. Today Baloch nation has stood up and resisting Pakistani occupation with their limited resources, now it is up to international community to come forwards and support Baloch nation to regain their lost sovereignty and restore their free state of Balochistan or to become a spectator when Pakistani terrorists with their diplomatic passports would hijack their citizens with a permanent fear.

Afghanistan – a Loaded Gun Pointed at Russia and America
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
The relationship between Russian and America touched the lowest ebb after Russia gave asylum to Snowden and President Obama cancelled his scheduled meeting with his Russian counterpart, President Putin. It is a big subject with lots of other aspects, but in this article we discuss those aspects that are supposed to affect the relations between Russia and America, Afghan crisis and Baloch national question.
Like any nation in the world, America is unwilling to accept its defeat. Giving importance to Snowden’s problem to such an extent that its president cancels his scheduled meeting points towards that stubborn attitude that says ‘our demands should be fulfilled at all costs’. It shows emotionality has taken over between the two countries on serious matters such as their importance of relationship. Emotional because, it does not last long; neither Russia would handover Snowden back to America, nor does America can continue to refuse to meeting Putin. Given the geopolitical situation of the world, the relation between the two would thaw and they will eventually meet each other at some point, and they cannot effort a frosty relationship. After all, what is the use of taking such steps in protest that leads to nowhere?
Amicable relationship between Russia and America are far more important than the protest over the asylum of a person as both countries are facing difficult situations and most likely to face greater challenges in the coming months ahead.
The common problems faced by America and Russia:
Terrorism and Particularly Afghan crisis have equal importance that have engulfed world peace, in Middle East and in several African countries, both countries are highly likely to face daunting challenges of terrorism, and of course, the common headache of illegal drug trafficking. Here it goes without saying that drug trafficking is one of the main sources of finance that terrorism has sustained itself so far.
Linking all continents to each other is the biggest dream of all capitalists in the region by establishing a peaceful environment and interestingly all these issues and possibilities have direct bearing on Baloch and Balochistan crisis which were once controlled by Pakistan, but that control doesn’t exist any longer as the Baloch pro freedom forces have consolidated their hold on their land and nation, though informally. No problem can be resolved in the region, if Baloch crisis is ignored. America and its allies poured billions of dollars in this war [war against global terrorism] beside the losses of thousands of their soldiers. All this seems to be going in vain, it also seems a recurrence of Russian defeat and withdrawal of 1989 and anarchy once again besieges Afghanistan which would pose a greater risk to world peace.
They (Taliban) are the same fanatics, Soviet Union could not defeat them because they were being backed by America and Pakistan, and now America is being pushed towards failure, this time Iran and Pakistan are backing them; as both countries never accept American presence in the region.
They have now turned this Afghan war into a successful money earning business. The have employed three big resources to run this business, including drug trafficking and charity collection from madrassas of Islamic countries and, blackmailing and money extortion.
The main reason is that Pakistan, which is imploding, is constantly failing to timely reimburse the religious forces, it created to fight India, Afghanistan and Baloch. Now to an extent, they are allowed to explore some sources of their own revenue. And they’ve now started breaking the jails every ever. Money extortion is on rise. Apparently government seems to be helpless, but the reality suggests otherwise, government does not want to catch them back as we can see these Taliban, they come in procession and break the jails and take prisoners with them and face no obstacle. It is, in fact, the prelude and preparation of the gory wars which are most likely to once again ruin Afghanistan after American withdrawal.
America, Russia and civilized world must realize this bitter fact that in the backdrop of a scenario where a criminal tries to escape unhurt because he has taken civilian population hostage and the law enforcers afraid to take action against him lest the innocent people get harm. This is exactly the same mechanism that has been devised for the terrorists; despite of tremendous efforts, they cannot stop it under current strategy.
For years they have had so radicalized people into Jihadi ideology that whoever goes against their peers will be regarded as infidels conspirator against Islam and they will come out for fighting. They’re now left starved and it will force them to fall into either smugglers’ or mullahs’ mercy. There are only two powers in the region that can provide jobs or two times’ meal – the smugglers and the religious warriors are the two faces of the same coin. These forces have systematically turned religion into opium which has already been tasted by Soviet Union; and now it is US and civilized world’s turn.
The drug smugglers and weapon companies will continue to profit until this war has a reason to continue in the region. The more the anarchy besieges Afghanistan, the more it gets easier for them to get their “Job” done through warlords. Pakistan leaves no stone unturned to spread anarchy in Afghanistan. However, the question is if weapon companies, belonging to America, Russia and other countries, support the continuation of the war, then why are they interested in putting an end to this war?
To us this question is easy to answer as everything has a limit and here it has reached to its zenith. At this stage if they did not pause and draw a meticulous strategy, Afghanistan, beside itself, would cause tremendous harms, at least, to three countries, America, Russia and India, and its impacts would destabilize the entire region beyond the imagination.
It is needless to remind ourselves that there are atom bombs, sectarian violence, nationality problem and religious hatred. In this internet age, all are connect with each other. No nation or group can be stopped from taking strong step or intimated into silence. With a single Jerk, the fire of several proxy wars will intensify alarmingly, which could engulf Russia, India and several other oil producing countries. America and its allies will equally be punished, if this fire directly affected Russia, India, Gulf and Central Asian countries. The first change that occurs in Pakistan and Afghanistan after 2014 withdrawal, the wars that are already continuing in these two countries would intensify. In the event of draw down or complete American withdrawal, the Taliban, with Pakistani help, will intensify their attacks so that they unnerve the new government in Kabul as soon as possible and make people believe that their government is unable to protect them any more.
Given the internal and external pressure, Pakistan tries hard to explore every avenue to wreak havoc in Afghanistan so that the war lingers on and Afghan government continue to cripple or even eventually fails. Meanwhile the freedom movement in Pakistani occupied Balochistan will also intensify, and also it is highly likely that the Baloch freedom struggle will inspire the Sindhi nation into a full-fledged freedom movement because Pakistan has already started the same strategy of kill and dump in Sindh to counter pro-freedom Sindhis.
Baloch resistance organisations, given their recent sophisticated attacks, will not waste the opportunity of Pakistan’s weaknesses and strike big targets strategically highly important. Pakistan has already lost its state equilibrium, and they do not want it to regain its strength; and that too in such a time when China has struck defence deals with Pakistan for a strategic foothold on Baloch coast which not only poses an existential threat to Baloch but also it will possess one of the world most precious seaports in Balochistan.
In comparison with them, Pakistan seems to know nothing about what is ailing Balochistan the most.
Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, Gwadar- to - Kashgar railway line, Gwadar- to - Central Asia Link Track are some dreams shared by Pakistan, Iran and China; if accomplished to success, they can change the balance of power in the region, it is something totally unacceptable to may powers and their completion is dependent on Balochistan and Afghanistan’s situation. It is interesting to note that if the current conditions, with the same scenario continued, then it would be highly likely that the not only the world will directly support Baloch Liberation Army and other Baloch pro-freedom forces as they supported Qazafi’s and now they are supporting Assad’s opponents.
As America, Russia, India and Afghanistan are the direct beneficiaries of Afghan peace, and equally, if things went wrong, they’ll be the ones to bear the brunt of the losses. If they continued to ignore Baloch freedom movement, and tried other way round, they will have to face a long and insurmountable war, and at least after eight or ten years they’ll have to come back to the point where they ignored Baloch factor and continue their war for peace.
These countries should not inter into any sort of dispute that could distract their attention from the real issue, particularly at a time when Afghanistan is trained as a loaded gun point on their heads by terrorists and drug smugglers. As far as Afghanistan itself is concerned, it needs the support of all peace loving countries of the region and beyond. This long war has exhausted Afghans. Meanwhile, America, Russia and India have to reconsider their policies about Afghanistan after 2014 withdrawal. Exploring the possibilities of having talks with Taliban is just a waste of time. In the pretext of that talk Pakistan continues to release Taliban prisoners by staging the drama of jailbreak and confidence building. In the end they all come together and stand against Afghan government.
As it is a sensitive issue, and there’re things that cannot be discussed in open forum, however, this much can be said that current American policies are totally contradicted with the statements it has issued and the steps it has taken. Overall, it is presenting an impression of hesitation and confusion, which will eventually force the policy makers to face the utter dismay.
It is to admit that Russia is indeed concentrating its efforts to contain the drug scourge. But, on the other hand, it has not yet devised such an effective scheme that could neutralize the ideology that can wreak havoc tomorrow within its federation. The steps that it has taken in this regard, arresting the illegal migrants and throwing them out, shows that it has failed to understand the real issue; because, it prohibits the migrants who use illegal way to come to Russia and deports them so that they come back after completing legal formalities. Now what would you do when four more migrants inter the country with legal formalities after deporting one illegal migrant? Central Asian Muslim countries could prove to be the depots of wealth for Russia, if only it adopted a right strategy. But steps taken without great deliberation and clear policy, particularly re Afghanistan, could prove fatal. Arresting them from the markets and deporting them is nothing more than a waste of time and increasing the number of the enemies.
In precise, like others, Russia too is extremely short of time. It needs to complete 90% of its homework. The Russian deficiency is evident in the fact that either it is unaware of its importance or unable to comprehend how it can play a positive role there. That is why it has become a spectator standing afar. Or all are staring at it with suspicious eyes, and it has failed to assure them that how much Russia is important to bring peace and stability in the region.
Indian position is no better than the Russian. There are hundreds of thousands of extremist volunteers ready to go against it and it is the biggest stockholder in Afghanistan. If the conditions deteriorated in Afghanistan, it will face lots of security challenges in the coming years besides economic and political losses. India will lose Afghanistan just the same way as Pakistan lost it yesterday and on top of it, Gwadar as a gift will fall into hands of China, and it will embark upon the schemes that can be highly disturbing for India.
In short, it is in the interest of all to stand shoulder to shoulder with Afghanistan because Afghanistan’s crisis never gets resolved until and unless it is attached with the interests of international powers and the Baloch national question in the region. The role of every stockholder must be determined accordingly.

Beware! All Efforts Afoot to Ruin Afghanistan Once Again!
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
10 months back, in one of my articles, titled, “Afghan Crisis a Matter of Concern for America and Russia”, I said that all that efforts that America was exerting through Afghan government to get agree the Taliban to table talk, are nothing more than a waste of time and energy. A few days ago when Pakistan released 33 Taliban from prison and propagated in media that these efforts are for Afghan crisis to be resolved, however, Afghan government expressed its concern saying that “the Taliban that Pakistan has released would again join the Taliban forces”; the list of Taliban that they’ve provide to Pakistan have not yet met.
Our Afghan friends today expressing the reality about Pakistan, doesn’t mean that they are less familiar with Pakistani state policies then us. But the fact is that there are some people in Afghanistan who still believe that there comes a time when Pakistan would stop its conspiracies and agree to a progressive idea for Afghanistan. But those who think on this line will know well that a stable Afghanistan is naturally not in interest of Pakistan. This proxy war is in favor of Pakistan interest no matter how much it is exposed, the main reason is its importance. No matter how much America scolds Pakistan, yet for reasons of her own interests, it does not push Pakistan against the wall. They’re also well aware of the Pakistan army crimes in Balochistan, flouting all international laws against war crimes. But as being blackmailed, America and its allies have turned a blind eye to the crimes against humanity in Balochistan. In other words, Afghan war is a compulsion for America and a necessity for Pakistan. The Former cannot quit it until it is won. And the latter, despite the defeat and loss of everything, is trying hard to carry on. The eyes of Americans are quite in perfect condition as they can see the injustices everywhere around the world including Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Egypt and Balochistan too is not out of their sight. But it cannot say anything directly against injustices being meted out against Baloch nation. Similarly, it is well aware of Pakistani transgressions in Afghanistan, but it seems it is unwilling to go beyond putting a complaint and resorting to a usual cliché “A prosperous Afghanistan is in interest of Pakistan”.
America and its allies would have started thinking perhaps in a different angle about Pakistan’s position and as first step they would directly supported Baloch cause; Had they paid attention to the question that if Afghan war was not in Pakistan’s interest, then Taliban Shora would not have been active in Quetta and its supporters would not have glorified their Jihadi ideology in Assemblies.
Now that a large number of American troops are departing Afghanistan, Pakistan wants to see its designs successful by releasing the Taliban in groups in the name of war against terrorism or staging jail break drama of Taliban escape. We firmly believe Pakistan has kept these Taliban in Jails as guests for security reasons so that they’re saved from American drone attacks. And they will be used when time require them to.
Here we need not to say that Taliban are Pakistan’s bargaining chips, which have been affirmably expressed by ex-army officers, political analyst, and the extremist mullah on TV talks shows on several occasions. Now that a new war is anticipated after 2014, Pakistan has started its efforts to align them into a new front for the expected war.
In the latest all party conference that was held in Islamabad a few days back, it was agreed that they would hold talk with Taliban without pre condition. Apparently it was an attractive decision taken in good faith. But it was a two edged dagger forged to be used for stabbing the chests of Balochistan and Afghanistan. Pakistan would not kill these people (the good Taliban) that it kept them in jail (save heaven) with strenuous efforts, nor does it use them for talk. Neither they’re of any use for Afghanistan. Rather, their role has been clearly defined by its host as a force to wreak havoc in the region. Conducting talk with them is as fatal as was the list of the Taliban names under its cover Pakistan released the “good Taliban”. Nothing bothers the “good” Taliban by this decision; nor there occur any accountability of those who unleashed the carnage of general public under state sponsored terrorism. Rather, based on joint resolution of the APC, it has been decided by high-ups that if the said talks failed, the force will be unleashed against common people in tribal area. It increases the unrest in these areas which are already declared no-go zones. No independent observer can go there. It will be conducive for terrorists to carry out their heinous crimes in the region. It means “our” Taliban and its affiliates will be more powerful and affectively wreak havoc in Balochistan and Afghanistan. These two regions will always remain as center of smoldering ambers. It eventually engulfs entire region and the world as whole.
The above mentioned All Parties Conference is a clean chit for the use of power after the failure of talks. It is vastly believed among Baloch circle that in the event of failure of talks with Baloch pro freedom forces, the government will use its all-out military power against them and uses its sponsored local religious death squads to spread terror in Balochistan.
At this juncture of the war, America and its allies have concentrated all their attention on the safe withdrawal of their forces, and the Afghan government is highly concerned about its future and the welfare of its citizens. Meanwhile, other forces like India and Russia in the region seem to be unwilling to take concrete action beyond expressing good wishes for Afghan people or perhaps they are at loss to understand the situation what they can do to stabilize the region for peace. By comparison, Pakistan and its destructive forces are at ease and know well what they’ve to do, as destruction is far easier than building
World powers interested in to see peace in Afghanistan, must keep it in mind that Afghan crisis is directly related to Pakistan’s existence. Pakistan, to the extreme, continues to keep the war raging in Afghanistan until it is existed with the current geography. Expression of good faith and diplomatic niceties do not show their effectiveness, only to waste of precious time.
To be more specific, a prosperous Afghanistan is an existential threat to Pakistan, therefore, the Afghan rulers and international community should not ask it for the thing that blow up the Pashtun Durand Line. Rather, they should be prepared for the events that Pakistan spares no efforts to “surprise” all after 2014.

Afghan Crisis and the Unclear American Policy towards Pakistan
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Afghans are highly weary of 34 years’ external and internal wars and their immediate neighbors, Baloch and Pashtun are also in a constant state of virtual hysterical condition.
Internationally, big powers America, Russia, India and China are also unhappy with the current situation. But no solution is in sight of the problem in the near future. Rather, there is every possibility that it can get more complicated in foreseeable future.
Keeping in view the possible challenges, the Afghan government issued a statement in which it raised the concerns over Taliban release. “Last year Pakistan released 26 senior Taliban leaders and they all rejoined Taliban again”. Similarly, Afghan President Karzi, in a letter of condolence to Pashtun leader Asfand Yar Wali on the killings his of party leaders, asked for a joint deliberation on Afghanistan issue.
Here we’re to deal with two important questions to see (1) to what extent the Pashtun leaders of Pakistan are influential to control the Taliban and (2) what would happen to President Karzai’s appeal?
It is a bitter reality that Pashtun leaders of Pakistan and Pashtun general public are pool apart in their thinking about Afghan people when it comes to Afghanistan issue: Pashtun leaders thinking reflects Pakistani rulers’ point of views, meanwhile a common Pashtun regards Afghans as sincerely as of a brother.
This was the contradiction that four months back, this scribe in an article on Afghanistan issues, “The Afghan Crisis, A matter of Concern for America and Russia” said that “All that efforts that America is exerting through Afghanistan government for talk with Taliban and getting their fugitives released from Pakistani jails are seemed to result into a zero sum game as it is the game that Pakistan exactly wants to be played for dissipating American and Afghani energy and time”.
The statement issued by Afghan rulers today reflects exactly the same concerns we predicted a few months back. With American money and Afghan rulers’ recommendations, Pakistan has created the hell of difficulties for them. The main reason why we termed the release of Taliban prisoners as a zero sum game was that we all alone knew that either our Afghan friends are forced or in a hurry to understand the disposition of Pakistani rulers which caused them to overlook some very important facts.
They failed to make sure who determines the status of these people after their release? What level of talks they’re supposed to conduct and with what sort of guarantee?
Do their ‘known sympathies’ make them the right people to assume arbitrary role between Afghanistan government and Taliban? Does Pakistan abandon its expansionist attitude towards Afghanistan?
Who would take the responsibilities of these people, if they started creating problems for people tomorrow?
Does the world community have the similar opinion of resolving Afghan crisis as Pakistan does?
Has the Pakistani propaganda machine against America and western nations come to a halt designed to churn out jihadists and used for pressure tactic in time of need?
Several other questions of similar nature could have been devised to measure the merit of such risky steps. The zero sum result of such steps, taken without proper homework, was predictable.
The misery is that the Afghan government is wasting its precious time as it has to resume the gigantic task of Afghan security next year from ISF.
Meanwhile Pakistan, apparently undated with lots of Problems, doesn’t seem to be in a hasty mode. But it is the most successful Party given its negative role in Afghan crisis circle. In my previous article I mentioned that.
The Afghan Taliban is destroying everything by spending a single Dollar against millions of Dollars America and its allies are spending together to bring peace in that country.
Similarly, In Pakistan too, thousands of madrassas are established to monger hatred against other religions where only two times’ bread is provided. The students of these madrassas are fanatic robots controlled by their religious peers. They never hesitate to accomplish whatever task their spiritual peers ask them to carry out.
The same Mullahs, hardly miss a day chanting slogans against America after five times prays, are partners in every government in Islamabad. Sometimes they do express their sympathies with Afghan nation posing as innocents but on the other hand, they’re the same culprits who churn out Jihadists. Apparently they go nowhere for jihad after they finish their Jihadi courses, as Afghanistan is the closest field to them and besides this, they get every logistic support that come in the mind; so they chose to flock there to fulfil their Jihadi wishes. They learn Afghan language like Colonel Amam. They easily adapt themselves with the environment and food there, as they’re almost identical.
In this hellish Jihadi war, almost entire Pashtun nation is burning. When a Taliban gets killed, he is a Pashtun, when an Afghan soldier fight against him and gets killed is also a Pashtun. Similarly, across the border into Pakistan, a Pakistani Taliban is a Pashtun when a FC fights him is also a Pashtun. The same FC Pashtun Personnel are used for military operation in Balochistan fighting the Baloch freedom forces about whom Pakistan says they are its enemy.
If you meticulously analyze this entire conspiracy, you will find that the forces (Baloch and Pashtuns) who have been affected by Durand line are the main catalyst of all it. Durand line is a double edged sword hanging over Pakistan’s head. Pakistan would continue to face its possible existential threat to its artificial state unless that issue of Durand line is resolved!
It was a collective misfortunate of Daud Khan, Shaheed Dr Najeeb and Hamid Karzai that the Pashtun leadership has been collaborating with Pakistani state in deep conspiracies, or it has utterly failed to unite its nation on the two sides of the border to rise up against their national enemy. The sincere sentiments of the common Pashtun that calls Afghanistan his homeland, has been exploited as mere a slogan to canvas votes for reaching to Pakistani assemblies where constant conspiracies has been hatched against their ancestral homeland.
Even though Karzai appeal is a genuine effort, but Pakistani rulers are counting the days when America and its allies are exhausted and quit the area and it would be assign the rehabilitation task of Afghanistan as big brother so that it uses it in the name of war against terrorism in the world as usual and earn free dollars.
Now the question rises here is that what should be done to bring peace in Afghanistan?
Five things must be kept in mind while devising the policies. But we do not want to indulge into other related details which might alert the enemy: First, there should be no doubt by world community, including America and Afghans about the fact that Taliban and Pakistani secret agencies are collaborating with each other for a single joint interest and their command is controlled by a single hand, called Pakistan. Second, Pakistan’s interests are totally different from that of world community in Afghanistan. For details please refer to my article, “The only solution to the afghan problem". Third, the key to success in this war lies with only Baloch and Pashtun freedom movements. Unless world powers, particularly America deliberates seriously on that issue and takes concrete steps, with uncertain policies it continues to be dependent on Pakistan. At the initial stage of this scheme, unequivocal and direct support to Baloch freedom movement must be rendered and the Pashtun be persuaded to think in that line of sight. Pakistan’s fanatic religious proxy war can only be defeated by an ever-green national ideology of freedom movement. This is the only ideology that can fulfill Afghans’ both, patriotic and religious ambitions.
Fourth, America and international community must know that Pakistan, as a security state, with the current geographical entity, cannot bring any change to its policies, because, based on expansionist foundations, its state structure does not allow its army to stay behind it. When the army does not budge behind, it will unavoidably be forced to seek inappropriate means to sustain its leisure faire political activities and luxurious life style which includes support and sanctuary to terrorists group as proxy warriors.
Fifth, it is necessary to make sure that both Pakistan and Iran are fully observing the principles of international laws, while conducting mutual relationship and dealing with their internal affairs respectively.
Unless things are observed from that angle and every phenomenon is separately analyzed and Policies are devised accordingly, the double standard will continue to persist. All will issue stern statements against Pakistan; however, they still support Pakistan in different aspects. It will also be asked to persuade Taliban for dialogue. However, in response it will express its good will but behind the scene, it continues to pursue its diabolic scheme of ‘destroy everything’ and render all into helplessness with open eyes.
During all this while it releases some Taliban and they will soon rejoin their friends just like their counterparts religious extremists in Balochistan where they were released on bail under a deliberate scheme to defame the secular Baloch national freedom movement and they were used to stoke up sectarian violence there.

The Afghan Crisis, A matter of Concern for America and Russia
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
There is no doubt that the history of Russian diplomacy has witnessed lots of ups and downs, because they take their decisions after considerable deliberations. Before taking any step they always bear in their minds the Russian proverb that “the more the higher you fill down, the more the pain is”. The possible safe why out is always is in their mind whenever they want to inter into a relationship in a vertical flying position.
However, a few years back, regarding their relationship with Pakistan, the Russian were seen as a bet hasty, some people were suggesting that as America is quitting the area, therefore Russia should take its place.
If things are seen in a wider perspective, that perception seems to be a childish conjecture or still it is, but in the presence of that concept, the Russian warm up with Pakistan was a self-deception. Russian company Gazprom’s taking keen interest in a dead project like IPI, shows how Pakistani officials have taken in their Russian counterparts by making them to believe that passing the pipelines of IPI through Balochistan isn’t a difficult task, besides this lethal propaganda that the Baloch are religious extremists, and that they’re their common enemy: thus the Russia does not protest the Baloch genocide and remains a silent spectator in international forums.
Nevertheless, the reality is different from that of Pakistani expectations because, Balochistan has long ago wrested itself out of Pakistani state control. They talk about existence of an autonomous provincial government in Balochistan, but it is not true, in facts it is a spineless, stooge government, the governor and chief minister even cannot visit their own province. How come they can protect foreign investors and their projects? The most important reality is that Baloch are the only secular nation in the entire region. And they’re far away from religious extremism – the jewel in the crown.
To exploit the natural resources of Baloch land, Pakistan is hell bent on to create the impression that Baloch people are religious thereby it would be easy for it to obtain the clean chit for quelling the Baloch resistance with impunity.
Today I feel relaxed that almost three years ago or so I used to sincerely convince my Russian friends in an informal way that Russia should not be taken in by Pakistan and avoid taking part in unnecessary war where it has to dissipate its energy in vain, The IPI project, in which Russia was taking interest for investment, passes through Balochistan and Balochistan is simmering with resistance.
And the second thing is that Baloch hold no grudge against any non-Muslim nation, including the Russia. Despite the fact that Pakistan has established thousands of madrassas in Balochistan spending billions of rupees to dilute the secular nature of Baloch nation and sowing the seeds of resentment among them against Christens, Jews and Hindus, but they failed in their sinister schemes. To avenge its humiliation in Balochistan, Pakistani state is ruthlessly perpetrating Baloch genocide. Therefore, the Russia should not become a partner of Pakistani state conspiracy against Baloch.
The worrisome fact is that if Pakistan’s criminal hand was not stopped at this juncture of affairs, like Iran, it would turn occupied Balochistan into such a place where it would weigh very heavy for world peace.
At that time ecstasy of our Russian friends about relationship with Pakistan was spectacular, but after the elapse of a very short span of time Russian president cancelled his scheduled visit to Pakistan, and most recently the cancellation of Russian Anti Narcotic’s chief, Mr.Viktor Ivanov’s( http://tribune.com.pk/story/463597/last-minute-snub-russias-anti-narcotics-chief-cancels-visit-to-pakistan/ ) visit to Pakistan at eleventh hour, and above all, in the presence of Chinese glaring eyes, Russia backed down from investing in the IP project, it shows that Russia has now realized the reality and taking just decision in the light of objective condition.
It is all the more important for Russia to take step more cautiously because It is the only country in the region which is a strong stockholder and it has not only the capacity of putting a check on Pakistani and Iranian hooliganism, but it also can effectively rectify and control the countless American errors that It erred in the region. Otherwise the Islamic extremist forces would create countless troubles for Russia soon after American withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Unfortunately America is still far away from resolving the Afghanistan crisis. If I may further say, of all, Pakistan is the biggest successful party in Afghan conflict as a negative power despite the fact that it is internally broken into pieces.
Pakistan’s new alliance with Russia and good relationship were glorified to an extent so that they could achieve two objectives, first, by initiating good relationship with Russia as a pressure tag so that America soften its stance about Pakistan, secondly, in the cover of good relationship they could easily pave the way for its people to penetrate Russia by sending its men in various parts of Russia, particularly the insurgency hit areas where they could prepare a specific number of people of extremists so that they engage Russia until America withdraw from Afghanistan. And then through its proxy war machine, the Taliban, it begins its policy of “Destroy Everything Thing”.
Russia and its allies, India and China have invested a lot in Afghanistan. Pakistan, through its proxy war machine, the Taliban, would do everything it could to wreak havoc in Afghanistan in destroying the every sign of Indian investment and presence in that unfortunate country, it is not the only reason that destruction is an easy task than building, as Pakistan has got nothing to contribute in the development of Afghanistan; nor does it has the capacity to compete with other powers in the region.
Economically, since General Zia ul Haq era, this country is constantly relying on funds provided by foreign countries to fight the terrorism. Now after the American withdrawal, neither Pakistan would have the previous luxury of economic aid, nor does it enjoys the same friendship of America, all this went down the drain because of Pakistan’s irresponsible ambitions. The mistrust has now taken over between the countries.
Russia, against which once Pakistan waged a Jihadi war to expel it from Afghanistan by destroying Islam’s true identity, would triumphantly inter in Afghanistan and increase its sphere of influence by joining hands with its nearest ally India but this time
with a different approach- without a war.
It is in the interest of America and its allies to make sure those extremist religious forces are not going to cash the resentments that have been accumulated over the past 24 years in Pakistan by state sponsored Jihadi Parties against it. In the event of comprehensive Russian role in Afghanistan, after American withdrawal, people will start looking towards Russia, China and India instead of terrorist power of Taliban. Which is obviously disliked by Americans, but this scenario is far better than that possible scenario where people would become disappointed from America and Afghan government and start looking towards Taliban. Pakistan finds its interests in the condition of confrontation among forces in the region, particularly between America and Taliban so that it blackmails America and world community as possible as it can, the options for America are limited, yet it is not bothering to pay any attention to that if there exists anyone. Or at least we cannot see such a sign that shows that at academic level such a perspective or option is being contemplated over supposedly expected to produce aa positive result.
All that efforts that America is exerting through Afghanistan government for talk with Taliban and getting their fugitives released from Pakistani jails are seemed to result into a zero sum game as it is the game that Pakistan exactly wants to be played for dissipating American and Afghani energy and time.
The helplessness of America and Afghan leadership is obvious in this regard; they’re trying their level best in making sure that all stockholders are on board so that a new Afghanistan is envisaged, but Pakistan and its Taliban ally are totally opposite of that, they think that America and its ally are defeated. The “Afghanistan withdrawal” is the euphemism of safe escape, they use to describe the situation but again they believe that America is not going to withdraw from Afghanistan completely. Rather, Pakistani believes that America would push the afghan forces in front line and save her troops from harmful attacks. Pakistanis also believe that American forces would relax in a Garrison Camp from where they would control the threads; they also say that if America with full power could not defeat the Talban, then until when these under trained Afghan troops weather the Taliban storm, and particularly in a situation where one brother is a Taliban fighter, the other works in Afghan military? Therefore, the way that Pakistan is behaving, should be pursued as it has, at least created the condition in which America and its allies cannot manage Afghanistan! The fact is that America and Afghan government genuinely want Pakistan to conduct military operation against the safe havens of Taliban in South Waziristan, and establish its state writ so that extremist forces’ schemes of destroying world peace are not materialized. But Pakistan cannot do that because of her compulsions as Pakistani rulers know well better than anyone that the crisis in those tribal areas are not of Sharia but it want to create a safe haven for “good Taliban and extremists” so that the drug trade of billions of dollars flourish for smuggling. But in the event of complete peace there, the international observers and experts would visit those areas and find out the reality, this is something that Pakistan never wants to.
America and its allies wish to see Pakistan do the things with honesty and integrity that are expected of her, but Pakistan is unable to do that because internally Pakistan is broken into pieces. All its institutions are confrontational against each other. All its strategically important institutions, including railway, PIA and Steal Mill are crawling for artificial breathing under the heavy Borden of loans. And above all, its all nationalities are frustrated and restive against federation. Meanwhile Baloch are unreservedly demanding outright freedom. Because of its internal turmoil, foreign investment is an unrealizable dream for Pakistan. In international trade market Pakistan has lost its credibility. The war in Balochistan for freedom has plunged Pakistan into an energy deficiency crisis. The resultant of that war, the energy crisis forced the thousands of investors fled to foreign country. Hindered thousands of People are jobless. As result of that grim economic crisis the parents have started withdrawing their children from schools and admitting them in Madrassa where they not only get free admission and free food but also it reliefs the parents from paying fees. Pakistan’s entire job providing factories are closed or getting closed. The jobless people from these factories with their children are consciously or subconsciously falling into pray of extremist Jihadi forces. Among them the matured ones would be mobilized through Propagandists Parties the Tabliqi Jumaiet. Or they will be inducted and activated into extremists Parties like Islamic Defensive Council which are run by Jihadi minded ex- army officers or mullahs. The children of these destitute people will be turn into permanent Mujahid in the name of Talib.
Despite of all above mentioned degeneration and deterioration, Pakistani rulers are still engaged in an unprecedented corruption of PR 28 billion per day.
In this short debate we cannot reach to a conclusion by separately debating and analyzing each dimension of this colossal crisis, however, this can be said that to resolve the crisis of this region, America, Russia along with their allies must see that Baloch and Pashtun factors are dealt separately beyond Pakistan’s geographical entity. In comparison Pakistan is more aware of the importance of this reality than America and Russia. This was the reason that Pakistan established a network of madrassas in Balochistan and now the plan is vigorously being pursued to turn Balochistan terrains into safe havens for Islamic extremists and the sea a hotbed for drug smugglers and pirates so that Baloch are punished for demanding freedom from Pakistan and bogged down into an eternal mess for centuries.
On Afghan front, Pakistan is pursuing a policy of “Exhausting All”, and it certainly would do its level best to make sure that Afghanistan crisis is never resolved and all are depleted and resigned to Pakistan’s hegemony over Afghanistan; thus Afghanistan is Pakistan’s fifth province. Pakistan’s intellectuals are often seen admitting this reality of Pakistan’s sinister design about Afghanistan’s future without any hesitation on TV talk shows.
Pakistan’s policy about this region is obvious and confrontational to all civilized world aspirations.
Now the question is that if America and Russia have decided to limit themselves only to the contemplation of right direction or take further steps to get the job done? Or continue to repeat their previous mistakes by ignoring the problems of the nationalities in the region and avoid taking a decisive position about Pakistan.

In the Context of Lisbon Conference the Possibilities of Ending
the Afghan War! The Contradictory Pakistani Interests
Versus International Community
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Some people believed that after the collapse of Soviet Union, a new world have been emerged, which gave birth to several states. With the shift of new priorities, new relationships were established. Several countries including America believed that it was Soviet Union that was fanning the conflicts around the world; and were hoping that after its demise and the end of some Balkan wars, all its remaining mischief and intrigues would end up.
But it didn’t, because, it was naturally not possible. Therefore, as a result, several wars broke out in the world, which are now straining the nerves of all.
Afghan war is the first in the list of all great problems that the world is facing. This war is so serious that it has impelled the once old rivals to come together to think alike. Seemingly there is no such force which is supporting the Talban. Neither they have any bank nor they have any market, and nor do they have any office. Nevertheless, they are still competing with the well organized American and NATO forces; and forcing them to leave Afghanistan without achieving a desirable result.
Russia is now realizing that after the failure of America and its allied forces, Russia would be the first to be affected the most in the neighbouring Muslim states of Central Asia, where the Talban could easily spread the war into those countries.
The Lisbon conference on November19-20, 2010 is a historical event, because in which not only Russia participated but also from both sides it was underlined that new relationship with Russia should be based on strategic cooperation. General Secretary of NATO said: “we will make a fresh start in our relation with Russia with the aim of building a strategic partnership”.
In the meeting of 28 heads of states of ISAf, Secretary General of NATO elaborated the policy statement that said that at the start of 2011, special training of capacity building of afghan forces would be resumed to make them able to assume the security responsibility. He hoped that by the end of 2011 there would be a tremendous increase of number of troop of afghan army. Their number would be consisting of three hundred thousand excellently trained troops. They would be armed with sophisticated weapons. And by the end of 2014 they take the responsibility of entire Afghanistan security. It would pave the way of withdrawal of NATO and its allies from Afghanistan.
It is a wish belongs to America and its allies. But it remains to be seen how they can fulfill this wish and it needs to be seen if things go the way as they have planed or opposite? These are the basic questions that are under discussion here.
So far as the American wishes are concerned, it wants to resolve this problem through wagging stick. But the painful reality is that with the passage of time it has been revealed that this problem has not only become so complicated, but also in near future, America’s ally Pakistan would get it worsens with the help of Iran.
Amid this entire scenario, the thing that has become so dangerous is that the main forces which are highly active in worsening the situation are either not being paid attention by America and its allies or they have no control over it.
It is the misfortune of Afghanistan that its war is being fought outside, and its people are being killed inside. From Soviet invention till American invasion, all parasitic rulers have failed to win the consent of Afghan people. As a result it has taken no time for already existing ambers to turn into flames.
If we have to suggest a solution to Afghanistan problem, we without hesitation say that “its solution exists in the defeat of Pakistan”. Unless Pakistan is pushed back from front line, the success of America and its allies remains a far cry, no matter how much money and sophisticated weapons are used in this war.
In the other words, in this proxy war the success of America results into the defeat of Pakistan. If Pakistani plan succeeded, then the American and its allies will have to return back home without any results licking their wounds. And entire world will have to face a new danger of imbalance of power (the tilt in the balance is not under discussion here). Putting an end to Pakistani intrigues would result into paving the way of bring in a stable government in Kabul and it helps to end the Islamic terrorism and the race of weapons of mass destructions.
All leaders of major powers in the region, from Manmohan Singh, Russian Sergei Lavrov and high officials of America have expressed concern that Pakistan is the epicentre of all international terrorism and it is not sincere with its allies in this war. And furthermore, its concept of “our Talban” and “alien Talban” has become the root cause of all obstacles and failures. After understanding this reality, the American and its allies should have understood this fact that the killing of Talban in Afghanistan and drone attacks in Pakistan does not achieve the desired results. Despite some apparent success, there exist several flaws in these two options which are preventing the allied forces from achieving the desired goal.
Internally there are too many reasons of failure in Afghanistan, but the most important and the fatal is that the Karzai establishment lacks the confidence of public right from the beginning till today. Two things are important to be taken into consideration for confidence building which the Karzai lacks. Firstly a transparent leadership; and secondly convincing the Americans that the strategy of putting into fire all their sinners and innocents into does not bear fruits, it rather worsen the situation. Currently wherever it achieved success, it could be said that it has been done only on bad bargains. Every village on the way has been razed to the ground whichever area they wanted to lay their siege. Because of partial courage and the lack of media it is impossible to guess the cost of destruction. But by the fresh ruins of the villages on the ways one can guess that worst type of barbarism has occurred in the area. Obviously people cannot resist the American tanks and guns directly. The abhorrence that people contain in their hearts cannot be pacified by false solace of a weak government. Resultantly, the more harshly the Talban are crushed the more people join them in greater number. The words of NATO general secretly cannot be ignored in context about their new strategy in Afghanistan “we have launched the process by which the afghan people will once again become masters in their own house”.
It means that he believes that they cannot resolve the afghan problem only through military power, but rather they now focus their attention on winning the confidence of people.
However, by nourishing such desires, they are either oblivious or purposely ignoring the fact that when a government which is corrupt and its army brutalizing people can do such job? And above all, did they expect that Pakistan would allow that to happen? Though much of the “rough material” is available in Afghanistan, yet the Talban producing factory is indeed located in Pakistan.
As long as this war of destruction continues in Afghanistan, Pakistan financially continues to benefit from it in the name of war against terrorism. Pakistan’s military and the so called political establishment are anxious that today if the war in Afghanistan reached to an end, tomorrow they would be ignored by international community.
In many aspects, the continuity of war in Afghanistan and its destruction has become essential for Pakistan. Unless this angle of Pakistani interests is meticulously observed, reaching to a solution would always remain a far cry. Even a face saving withdraw would be impossible for Americans.
Apparently it seems Pakistan is suffering from terrorism, but by looking other side of the coin, we can see that its ‘public’, ‘military’ and the ‘rulers’ have quite different interests and each is different from the other. In other civilized world interests of the three are kept under the policy of national interests. Therefore, whatever they think, their first priority would be the interest of their nation. But here in Pakistan things are totally different; as there is no conception of Pakistani nation, Pakistani language, Pakistani culture and history. It is just an unnatural compressed geography of different nations, which were annexed in it against their well. Here no one is accountable to public; politicians always endeavour to seek the blessing of agencies rather than public. And military is a totally different creature, different from the public. Therefore, Public is the main victim of this terror war. Political and military leadership are safe. At least they think so. Becoming target of terror, if one or two brigadiers or Generals among thousands of poor soldiers, or a few Politian got killed, does not stop them to consensually abandon this war. Of these trivial losses, (as they don’t regard public losses as theirs), the interests of those are far greater about which we are going to analyze here.
As we know the concept of “our Talban” and alien Talban” isn’t something that exists in air, therefore, we can confidently say that the “our Talban” are being used to serve Pakistani interests. First of all it would continuously use them against its historical rival India. As the position of Pakistan in front of India is like an envious person who does not work hard to build stamina to stand its rival, but instead wants to break its leg. Therefore, to break India’s legs Pakistan needs Jihadists. To mitigate the Indian influence in Afghanistan it needs those who believe in slaughtering the secular forces by chanting the slogan of Allah Akbar.
The mare realization, that India has taken its place in Afghanistan, has turned Pakistan into a lunatic state, the fact is that Pakistan has done everything to earn a place in Afghanistan since Doud Khan Era, for that, according to Colonel Amam, at the beginning it has, under harsh conditions, trained 9 thousands warriors. Even during the war against Soviet Union Pakistan was in the front line. Not only it has lost its grip over afghan policy, but also India is standing in place of it in the first row. In many respect things are highly conducive for India in Afghanistan. The afghan people have great respect for Indian people. Traditionally the Afghanistan leadership has never felt uneasiness in establishing relationship with India, contrary to that, interaction with Pakistan has always been an uneasy task for them. In short, whenever there have been talks, the Pakistani started with lamentation and it ended up with empty promises. It has now dawned on Afghan leadership. It has been expressed by afghan leader Hamid karzai, that Pakistan wants Afghanistan to reach to a point where it could be ungovernable and he be forced to requests Pakistan for guardianship for greater Pakistan and they rule over Afghanistan exclusively as a part of it, like they did it with Balochistan. But from Indian side neither the afghan leadership nor its public feels any threat of expansionism.
Therefore, Currently Pakistani state is in need of a destructive force until the right moment arises. But given the situation, it can be said that internal and external problems have left Pakistan nowhere. It even cannot free itself from its own problems, how one can think that it can compete in Afghanistan or elsewhere with India which has an exemplary democracy.
That is way Pakistani state is not interested in eliminating the Islamic extremist forces, it cannot get a better place but Afghanistan’s soil. Here things are so easy that one can hit several targets with one bullet. The extremists are exercising for war games and new extremist forces are emerging. In the name of “so called” war against terrorism, money is easily being earned. So to say, as if, Pakistan has entrapped America and Europe into a vicious circle!
The benefit that Pakistan gets in the afghan war is that it helps it to continue its existence. If hundreds of thousands of American and its ally’s forces were not bogged into this afghan quagmire, the civilized world along America would not have remained silent over Pakistani barbaric brutality towards Baloch people. Entire world knows that Baloch are resisting an external aggression. But the reason, that they cannot adopt an aggressive language against this aggression is that the integrity of world powers and their trapped troops in afghan are at stake.
It is still fresh in our memory, just a few days ago, when the Americans, living in Afghanistan, carried out an incursion against Talban, as usual, into so called Pakistani border; as a result of a collateral damage, few personnel of Pakistani forces were killed (because they were military men not civilian, as civilian are in dozens being killed by drones attacks on daily basis). As a result, Pakistan launched a strong protest and in retaliation, only within one day it torched almost 150 NATO trucks and trailers and closed one of its border gates for NATO supply passage. As soon as America assured that it would not be repeated again, the rate of torching of trucks and tankers came down to 95 percent. Apparently it seemed that it was a public reaction, but neither the American, nor the NATO leadership and international community were so foolished that they didn’t know who was doing that. This is the weakness of international community which is viciously being exploited by Pakistani state and it is brutally killing the pro independent Baloch people in an inhuman way. To prevent them from national freedom movement it has created an environment of terror of genocide in Balochistan. It has trespassed every limit of human and “Islamic” laws in its brutality. It regards itself above of all established universal laws. But no one has the moral courage to stop it from committing barbarism, because of its intrigues. Baloch are in the tight grip of Pakistani barbarism, just as the other world powers in the quagmire of afghan war. It knows well that the day this war ends, the international community starts talking about Baloch and Balochistan. There is no valid reason for world community to refrain itself from direct intervening and to help Baloch to regain its freedom like Bengali people.
It is in the interest of both Pakistan and Iran that Afghanistan always remains in wretchedness as a parasite. In the event of a prosperous Afghanistan, the shrinkage of Pakistan geography takes no time. The afghan, who are being governed in different administrative units in Pakistani, i.e., Fata,Tribal Area and Khairber- Pakhtonkhwah, would rather opt for joining Afghanistan in the event of its prosperity. Such inspiration of Afghans (Pashtun) would help pave the way for Baloch to regain its freedom. And thus Pakistan would be reduced to Punjabistan. After the Baloch and Pashtun, it’s highly unlikely that Sindhis would put up with Punjab to live together. Thus, Punjabi Pakistan would not perish until Pashtuns kill each other in the name of different attire and front of (*Pashtun Talban, Pashtun Nationalists, Pashtun Mulla, Pushton Pakistani Military and Frontier Corps). Now imagine when all Pashtun are united; what kind of punishment Pakistan gets from them for all the wrong doings that it has done with pashtuns and their country?
No matter whatever the heads of world community say in Lisbon, they won’t be practicable unless Pakistan’s desires are fulfilled which are sharply in contrast with world community wishes, the wish list:
1- Pakistan wants Afghanistan to always remain within its sphere of influence.
2- No role of India accepted in Afghanistan, if need be, should be secondary.
3- Afghanistan should never be sanctuary of pro independent people, including the Baloch.
4- All developmental contracts should be assigned to Pakistan.
5- It is the cherished desire of Pakistan and Iran that America and world powers should suffer a crushing defeat, and depart from this area for good; so that they become the dominant powers over the Muslim countries in the region.
6- The other cherished wish of Pakistan and Iran is that they want America and international community to remain bogged down in the quagmire of Afghanistan, because this does not make them able to take a drastic action against both. Though the economic sanctions have forced Iran to incline to bow, yet such measures have failed to bring it around.
Last word: it is our humble opinion that international community and America should make it sure that Afghan people are participating in Afghan government and Pakistan is forced to abandon its dream of becoming Islamic Caliphate and the centre of Islamic world.
Pakistan rulers know well what have been the results of their misdeeds. The last week’s statement of Pakistani leadership, that it does not tolerate any “further Great Game”, is the acknowledgement of their guilt. But it didn’t felt any qualm when it became a part of the Great Game, for the past three decades, which has turned entire Afghanistan into a valley of death and destruction. Now the same game of death and destruction is standing in front of its dwelling and knocking its door. It has suddenly started protesting, How come it can justify its protests against the same game of which it was once a partner?
The solution of the matter should be started from the point where Pakistan starts its protest – by the Great Game they mean that America and international community are encouraging the freedom movement of Baloch and Pashtun people which, they say should be refrained. However, we say unless the freedom of these nations is regained, no effort of correction on this unnatural geography of Pakistan can work. Nothing can bring peace in Pakistan and no one can force it to play an honest role in afghan war.

Taliban; helplessness, the punishment of the bad deeds or golden egg laying chicken for Pakistan?
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari after coming in power took the beggar’s pot and started begging in the name of funds. The United States and other friend countries refused politely saying ‘Pardon us old beggar!’ As Pakistan is suffering from very poor financial conditions, its rulers tried different dialects to earn money i.e. in the name of Islam and neighborhood hoping to get any capital from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and China. It had a clear attitude towards Europe and US i.e. begging along blackmailing (which still exists) that if the West doesn’t help Pakistan, Islamic extremists might spread worse disaster in their countries. We (Pakistan) are fighting West’s war etc etc. But this is very untrue. The following war and the Taliban both have become very important to Pakistan. Pakistan cannot save the world from the ongoing war or from Taliban and neither it wants to do so because from the beginning of Afghan war till today, Pakistan has been wasting money (like a rich man’s careless son) without caring about where it is coming from. It seems Pakistan is suffering from the burden of millions of Afghan refugees but Pakistani rulers know very well how to cash this burden and what the real price of it is. If billions of dollars from the US and the West wouldn’t fly to Pakistan its economical condition would have never let it become a nuclear power.
Afghanistan is on war from last 31 years whereas regardless peace in Pakistan nothing was achieved. There was no difference between the so-called democracy and the martial law. No difference was felt in citizen’s life nor did the economy of the country get a bit stronger. To get funds on behalf of Afghan war and country’s own debts, political statements and false console were used. Every day is not Sunday, the world at last became fed up of helping Pakistan whereas the result was opposite of expectations being nightmares and worse. Pakistani state is toward its decline and Taliban who were fighting in different forms(under Pakistan’s supervision) against the Soviet Union has strengthened its roots in Pakistan along with Al-Qaeda. Mega corruption, political destabilization, anarchy, economical crisis and religious extremism are the main promoters of Terrorism in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s dual definition about Taliban;
In Pakistan there is a concept of Pakistani Taliban and other Taliban which the US, West and India had repeatedly told the world about. Perhaps this was the reason media started to report (in the beginning of Swat operation) that on one hand military operation is going on in Swat whereas on the other hand clear and safe places are left for Taliban to run away. Innocent people are going to be used to show the effects of operation as positive. US and West are going to cheers on this situation, while on the other hand the real people (Pakistan provided leadership of Taliban) are going to succeed in running away. Some of these (Pakistani) Taliban are given the duty of violating the situation in the state of Baluchistan in order to get the ongoing genocide certificate to kill Pro-liberation Baloch in the name of Taliban and deceive the civilized world making them spectators.
It is necessary for Pakistani rulers to make sure that a part of Taliban remains safe which can be used to provoke hatred against India. Peace, stabilization and Indian influence in Afghanistan is never tolerated in Pakistan. It can be said satisfactorily that having peace in Afghanistan democratic wise India is imagined to be its best partner rather than Pakistan.
It is much easy for the economically stabilized and the secular India to strengthen its roots in Afghanistan. There has been never found any animosity against India in Afghanistan nor its leadership or people had any hatred against it whereas, Pakistan’s popularity among Afghanis remained negative. A large number of Afghanis still blame Pakistan for all the annihilations occurred in their country. Therefore, Pakistan still needs Taliban activities and strict motives in Afghanistan, Kashmir and India itself. Promoting the debate of Talibanisation is necessary for Pakistani establishment’s own security as well as to let Pashtoon divided. In today’s modern age, religious extremism is the only slogan which has diverted the Pashtoons from national freedom struggle and stuck them in religious war. Hence today Pashtoons are unaware of their national freedom from Pakistan; they are fighting a war worth freedom and demanding religious law implementation (sharia). Pakistan is very aware and never wants Pashtoons to be liberated from the craze of religion (which is a butter giving cow for Pakistan). This is the slogan which has made Pashtoons from both side of the border busy in its own genocide due to which Pakistan in between is enjoying reliefs and funds.
Regular interference of Pakistan in Afghanistan easily concludes that Pakistan is never in favor of a well-developed and peaceful Afghanistan which is a threat to its own geographical security. In case of a developed and peaceful Afghanistan, Pashtoons in Pakistan being a well developed nation (among neighbors) having a large number of educated and skilled people who are going to be the first preference in Afghanistan’s development, can at any point realize that partition of Pashtoons was under the conspiracy of the British and rather than living with the Punjabis and other nations it should join its own historical country where along with Islam its own history, own language and own culture is still present. In the present situation, Pashtoons can be compared with a horse who reveals its energy on the judgment day and after realizing it bewails on its simplicity that in spite being so energetic it had been misused even by infants. Pakistani leadership is well aware of this energy and knows that if Pashtoons decide their separation from Pakistan and will to join their historical country, it will be impossible for Pakistan to keep Pashtoon with it anymore. Well developed Afghanistan will remain a threat to Pakistan’s geography until a solution is found for the above mentioned chance.
These are the basic reasons preventing Pakistan to eliminate Taliban and the world is not ready to trust Pakistan’s intensions. But, let us analyze this question (regardless to our thoughts and analysis); Military operation in Swat and Tribal areas will succeed or not?
In this regard we see Pakistani military operation failed in all means because they lack the support of locals and overall Pashtoon nation. This fact can be realized that when a nation’s almost 3 million people have been displaced from their happy homes and the particular nation is still in the favor of the military operation. Regardless restrictions on media, the reports reaching from the affected areas are both against Pakistan and Taliban but if locals are asked to appoint one single enemy they will surely select Pakistani forces rather than Taliban (Pashtoon) to be much responsible for all disaster because the sin of Drone attacks is also counted in Pakistani forces and Taliban sins which has the willingness of Islamabad that can be a reason of incensement in Pakistani state sins. (Punjab’s bombardment of Carpet Bombs over Pakistani Pashtoon and locals is not included in the debate)
Punjab and Sind’s expression of hatredness against the Pashtoon refugees has been the fuel in the fire. Both Punjab and Sind had expressed straight to the point that they are unhappy with the arrivals of the Pashtoon refugees in fact they are protesting against it which is not a big deal but this act might force the Pashtoons to think that if Punjab and Sind can settle their own displaced people anywhere they want saying we all are Pakistanis and anyone can settle anywhere it doesn’t matters but the real fact of this Pakistanism appears when refugees of any other province turn toward them and they start screaming in fear of turning into minority but when this situation comes on other nations specially Baloch, they are named narrow minded and foreign agents.
Government or non-governmental related Pashtoon nationalists and religious forces will stand against the hatredness of Punjab and Sind against the Pashtoon which will strengthen the acute of the voices raised against the military operation increasing the public pressure causing suspension of military operation or reducing its intensity. This will allow Taliban to transfer its war from its homeland to the bigger cities of Punjab and Sind and emerge with new intensity, new experience and new tactics of disaster. Time will decide their then slogan. These are the punishments of the bad deeds of Pakistani leaders which will counter their selves first. These are the biggest threat to Pakistan establishment and the world today is finding a solution for this. These include the Islamic Nuclear Weapons, drugs, and religious extremists. This is the reason world’s biggest assassins IMF and the World Bank hold the sword on the hanging head of the Pakistani state in order to permanently get rid of the begging slogans ‘In the name of poor’s', ‘in the name of terrorism’.

The Possible American Withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Beginning of Problems for Russia
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Whenever a drama gets closer to its climax, the secrets of the story begins to unfold one by one. The 32 years old Afghan tragedy is not only a long way to comprehend, but also many other regional grim problems have been sucked into its vortex with new dimensions. And it has many unnerving endings. Actually last year after Lisbon conference it became clear that America along with its allies withdraws from Afghanistan and it was supposed that by than the Afghan armed forces would be able to take over the charges of Afghan security. In my previous articles in dailytawar newspaper I expressed my strong concerns over American withdrawal, their English version posted in different sites, “in the context of Lisbon Conference the possibilities of ending the Afghan war! The contradictory Pakistani interests versus International”(http://frontierindia.org/balochistan/ ... -international-community/). Now once again this debate is seriously being discussed in different forums with the question that what would be the consequences of American departure from Afghanistan, what role Pakistan is likely to play? What sort of rearrangement India would resort to when it faces the difficulties; and along with that what about Russia?Before moving further, let us first explain this point of view that right from day one, before entering in this war, Americans and western nations were protecting Pakistan’s interest and Pakistan used them with full potential through double standard games. As per Hillary, Pakistan’s gamble was serving well Pakistani interests as per its schemes. The exposure of Pakistani designs began at a time when Americans started realizing the importance of ex-Soviet Union K.J.B’s unfinished scheme. Pursuing the same policy of pushing or expanding its war from Afghanistan into Pakistan; and it has involved Pakistan unwillingly. We had suggested the same a two and half year ago in two different articles published in detailed explanation (The only solution to the Afghan problem. http://www.hafeezbaloch63.blogspot.no to-afghan-problem-by.html Taliban; helplessness, the punishment of the bad deeds or golden egg laying chicken for Pakistan?http://sarmachar.wordpress.com/2009/0 ... ing-chicken-for-Pakistan)
To get Pakistan involved in the war in real term, it became necessary to make it an equal partner in pros and cons of the war. Previously Pakistan used to receive financial aid from America and West in the name of Afghan war and Afghan refugees. Pakistan used to create trump cards in the form of Islamic terror organizations so that it could use them in Afghanistan as per its design until of its own liking or a parasite government is installed in Kabul. Exactly in the same manner they could be used against India in Kashmir and against Baloch fighters in Balochistan. Soviet Union comprehended Pakistani design, but we, the Baloch did not support it, because Soviet Union did not support Baloch struggle to an extent where they could establish an independent State of their own. Baloch leadership, particularly, Sardar Khair Bakhsh Marri did not approve of the idea of allowing Baloch to be killed in an alien proxy war. He was of the opinion that to establish an independent Baloch state, historical lines of Baloch geography must be drawn without any hesitation. He valued Baloch Afghan friendship, but he never wanted to land into anther sphere of slavery after getting rid of the previous one. That is why he never forgot to remind the Afghan leadership that Baloch independent issue must be regarded as a separate issue. This ascribe had the opportunity to accompany him in some selective Jirga settings with Afghan leadership where I closely observed and felt that sometimes he was so tough and straight forward on his principled policies and stance that it caused some of the Afghan leaders uneasiness. But instead of being diplomatic, he always put forward the bitter reality related to nation future; because he never wanted to leave any impression of misunderstanding about Baloch and Balochistan future. In short, the Soviet Union leadership failed to guarantee any assurance to Baloch that they would continue their support for Baloch freedom in any condition. And our leadership also failed to convince them that “the success of all” in Afghanistan lies in all-out support of our independence. And that this notion must be put aside that Baloch can be used only to tame Pakistan. Though the Americans must be praised for their half backed strategy that has compelled Pakistan to become a partner in this disastrous war by conducting drone attacks within Pakistan and plucking its most beloved/favored Talban which has blown up every bit of Pakistan’s sovereignty and its atomic power status, yet they’ve still failed to realize it thoroughly that the real game of Pakistan will start the day when America and its allies began to withdraw from Afghanistan. Creating mayhem within Pakistan, without any real objective, America and its allies cannot achieve any desired result. Rather, it results in culling of thousands of people, loss of billions of Dollars. This was the apprehension that Baloch did not start their war at the behest of Soviet desire. Today almost the same saga is being repeated.
Does America want to fight for the sake of fighting? Or is it a result oriented war with a far reaching broad vision which can easily be deciphered and talked about
In our point of view, the American slogan that, they get rid Afghanistan of terrorism and guarantee that world is a safe place and peace flourishes, is extremely ineffective and some extent frivolous. On such American policy, it can be said without any vacillation that America is not only deceiving themselves, but also the world in the same way.
Do they do not know how come all of sudden the same genial Afghan people, famous for hardworking around the world, become so ferocious against each other and against the world as well? This is the basic question; they either do not bother to pay any attention to it or avoiding understanding it purposefully!
The reason, why I described American attempt of pushing the war on terror into Pakistani territory as half success, is that it needs, along with international community, to give this war a right direction with a logical slogan, based on ground realities. I think, keeping in view the half-baked successful strategy, conducting dialogue and cutting deal with all Talban fictions is nothing more than a wastage of time; because Pakistan through a barrage of media campaign has successfully assured the Talban that America and west have been defeated in Afghanistan; that they’re now seeking a way-out how to flee from here; that they shouldn’t care about their bullying, instead they should be kept in waiting on false promises for the sake of time wastage. In Media and Masques it is constantly propagated that America and its allies have exhausted all that they wanted to do and now they cannot do anything more than that; that the more they keep them in uncertainty the more the chances that time itself kills them.
The statements that Pakistan issue to media indicating that one day it would conduct operation against Talban, and on the next day it says it would consider this option. And then another day it says that it would bring the Talban on table for dialogue. But in the next breath it says that it cannot guarantee success for it. About Quetta Shura Council, there is a huge difference between statements issued by federal home minister and the provincial chief minister. All these antics and tactics are orchestrated to create confusion about real issue! In such a situation conducting operation in any part of Pakistan, be it Northern or Southern Waziristan, the perceived result would be nothing more than a transitory success. The basic reason is that, during all this while, when America presses Pakistan for conducting operation against Talban in possibly selected areas, Pakistan leaves no stone unturned to make sure that its most favored Talban make their escape to safe heavens. A few days back an American commander said “Once we used to share information with Pakistan about drone attacks and the result was that the Talban succeeded in escaping our every attack” and he taunted that and said “one needs not to hire an internationally famous Sherlock Holmes to understand this secret” on a question that Pakistan had still got the trump card!
Pakistan’s horrible scheme and trump card! It is up to the world to realize this fact or not, but Pakistan understands it at its state level that it has lost the game! Afghan public and leadership don’t regard it as their friend. And the Talban too have lost the capacity to form a government in near future which could be acceptable by Pakistan. And Pakistan continues to do whatever it can to advance its agenda. Who knows this secret better than Pakistan itself that to build a house one has to spend a lot of money and labor. But to destroy it one needs nothing more than a man with a hammer! And Pakistan got that necessary expertise how to get it done, that is why Pakistani trained Taliban uses a single dollar against America’s $15 million. It is out of our debate that what sort of task this single dollar of Talban has performed against 15 million American dollars, as Pakistan would continue to spend all its energies on creating terror in the region; because it cannot stomach the strategic partnership between India and Afghanistan under which Afghan army would be trained by Indian army. Such prospect of a scenario is beyond Pakistan’s wildest dreams!
Secondly India is to lay a railway track of 900km from Afghan city of Haji Gik to Iranian port city of Chahbahar, and it will have the access to Afghan mineral resources besides tens of other projects, all these projects cannot be stopped by Pakistan except through subversive act!
Pakistan did not get killed 3 million of Afghan people and 35 thousands of its own citizens just to eat the humble pie and remain isolated altogether from every affair of the region and on top of it, the title of conspiracy to be affixed on its forehead.
The religious fanatics trained in Pakistan would expand their activities in two areas particularly and in the third area generally. Afghanistan would be the first field of their battle. Secondly they start creating headache for India through Kashmir. Thirdly in ex-Soviet States, particularly in Russia they create maximum problems using the Muslim extremists. Now the question that comes in our mind is that why we involved Russia in our argument with Muslim states of ex-Soviet Union? It is easy to answer, Pakistan is extremely apprehensive of the possibility that Russia once again might expand its sphere of influence in Afghanistan after American departure. Russia with trade and investment, like India, enter into Afghanistan without war this time around!
No matter how much bitter the first Soviet Union (Russia) experience was with Afghans, however, the Russians understand the Afghans and Afghanistan better than any other country. Hundreds of thousands of Afghans are fluent in Russian language. In the presence of India the possibility of a positive Russian role is hundred fold greater in Afghanistan. Pakistan, Iran and China have their own national interests, but they’re almost contrasting each other’s interest.
It is almost misfortunate of Russia and the Ex-Soviet Republicans that since 1992 till the date, through different warlords, Islamic Propagandist Party, (Islami Tabliqi Jumaet) and particularly through extremist religious students, Pakistan has expanded its Islamic ideology to such an extent in Central Asia that it could wreak havoc at any time whenever it felt necessary to under particular conditions. And Russia and its neighbors cannot afford to tolerate it under current situation. To shorten the debate, the reason why Pakistan cannot be taken into the game is because it has always proven to be an untrustworthy partner, and also neither does it has any capacity of doing any good to any end. So, if the world really wants a result oriented war against terrorism, unlike Pakistan, than they should seriously consider the natural geography of different nationalities in that region and support their freedom movements, otherwise Pakistan is already a sunken ship, it can drown their ships too.

The secret of Bin Laden How He lived in Pakistani Safe Haven
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Finally Bin laden was directly killed by Americans in Pakistani city of Abbatabad. But this killing of Bin laden has created a lot of questions cantered on Pakistan; the real questions are yet to come.
Why Pakistan kept saying that Bin Laden is hidden in tribal areas?
That he is in Afghanistan? Once or twice it also said that he might be hiding in the mountains of Balochistan. On what ground has it denied, with false statements, that he is not living in Pakistan? And how come it claimed that he was living in Afghanistan? How he lived just 800 meters away from Kakol Military Academy, which falls under the jurisdiction of military cantonment area, where it is utterly impossible to build home without complete information and consent of the military. Isn’t it that Mullah Omer and the other high up culprits are living in the neighbourhood of other military camps and garrisons? All foot prints are leading towards Pakistan wherever terrorist acts took place, including Spain, British, Russia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Yemen. Now it remains to be seen how much these countries are going to compel Pakistan to account for what it done, because, after that lot of questions would have raised their heads. How to define Pakistan’s role as a partner against the world terrorism? These are some basic questions that would reverberate for years and here we want to treat them accordingly. Let us begin with comprehensive question, from which emanates a lot of other questions: Was Pakistani state harbouring Al Qaeda and Bin laden or not? In our humble opinion, Pakistan has indeed been harbouring Bin Laden as its state guest, there is no space for doubt given the fact that what happened in Abbatabad. The panic within state apparatus shows that it has been helping him until the end. This is that critical fact that compelled Pakistan’s high officials to resort to lying, so that the world would continue its manhunt for Osama to a place where there is no sign of him. At last, American understood that only the conduct of vice versa can work with Pakistan. Not only it got 100% success, but also it exposed Pakistan’s real ugly face to the world community.
Now let us deal with some questions related to this America Navy Seals operation so that we could reach to a right conclusion. According to Brenan, the advisor to President Obama on terrorism, they kept the operation secret until they were on the Pakistani border. And this has apparently been corroborated by all Pakistani high officials, including President, Premier, Army Chief, and foreign Secretary to show their anger. After the failure of Tora Bora, Americans had abandoned the idea of trusting Pakistan. Though the Americans cannot express it openly because of the war in Afghanistan however, they, by their comprehensive acts, are expressing it quite affectedly. The secret of the success of Abbatabad operation lies in the fact that the Americans have now succeeded in creating a several time powerful agency in comparison to ISI in Pakistan, which in future could perform astonishing acts. It benefits the oppressed nations like Sindhis, Baloch and the Pashtuns.
Now here arise a question in the mind of every sane human being, that why Pakistan took such a risk by harbouring such a big terrorist like Osama and why its high official kept lying in extreme audacity that he was not in their country? Interaction with Pakistan becomes extremely difficult unless this pointed question is understood. It also creates colossal difficulties for allied forces in Afghanistan. Harbouring Bin laden and including the Talban commanders and continuing the Afghan war has now become a business and a state policy for Pakistan.
The constraint, it never wants Afghanistan to become a prosperous country to an extent where the Pashtuns again, within its geography, express their desire of joining their historical country.
B) Pakistan abhors the idea of Afghanistan becoming a stable country which could raise the question of Durand Line status.
C) Pakistan never wants India to have greater influence in Afghanistan than Pakistan.
T) Because of its involvement in this war, it is exempted of questions on the unethical and inhuman atrocities that it is inflicting upon Baloch nation; no matter how much it breaches every well established law of international community. The Punishment for the barbarism that it is committing in Balochistan is the same that was applied on Saddam, Malevich, and Kaddafi. But, the tortured death bodies of Baloch people don’t matter to the conscience of America, United Nations and the European Union. Pakistan knows well deep in its heart that if the world was not engaged in Afghanistan against terrorism, it would surely not have adopted a criminal silence towards this gruesome genocide of Baloch people.
2) Business. Afghanistan has become the source of income for Pakistan since 1979. The free money, that it received from America and Saudis, in return of the services that it offered during Afghan war against Soviets Russia, has not only been used to run the country, but it had also made the rulers so habitual of free money that they could not sustained all its small and big industries. As a result, it has now turned into a parasitic atomic country.
Even today, the war against the Talban in Afghanistan is the only reason that America and the European states are forced to give alms to Pakistan. And this war now turned into a full-fledged industry of gratis, where all its officials, from top to bottom, have their peculiar share in it. Beside this, putting on fire the NATO Tankers and Trucks have also become a lucrative business in a systemic way, which is, in time of need, used as Bargaining chips by Pakistani state. They even don’t have a moral feeling on this. Gen Hameed Gul, Imran khan and some others Mullahs are the staunch supporters of this shameless business. They even conduct long march and hold set-in protests with the secret backing of the army with the full coverage of private and state owned media. Not only have they intensified their slogans to incite their fellow Muslims against America and Western nations, but also against Christianity and Judaism as well.
3) State Policy, helplessness and business has, long ago, become a part of state policy, and Pakistani state is trying to seek the solution of all its predicaments within these parameters; which is a matter of concern for all. This is the state policy which has created the concept of “our Talban and their Talban”, and Pakistan could equally apply this policy towards India and Afghanistan. It is Pakistan’s utmost desire to turn Afghanistan into a parasitic state where its rulers could never dare to uplift the standard of living of Afghan people in comparison with Pakistani people. Nor it wants to see a positive role of Hindustan to be played in that unfortunate country. But this stipulation is acceptable neither to Afghan leadership nor its public is willing to remain under poverty, forever, at the whim of Pakistani state. Similarly, the afghan people and its leadership too want to benefit from the thriving economy of India. This is something which cannot be stomach by Pakistani rulers. Therefore, it has an army of Jihadist mullahs to stop it. It will use it for two purposes in Afghanistan. Firstly, it wants to make sure that there is no end to the internal conflicts, and secondly, that India is nowhere going to have any root in Afghanistan. Despite of countless persuasions and several pleading of America, it still harbored the Talban and Al Qaeda; it bears the witness that Pakistan would never entirely want to abdicate its policy, because after the departure of America and its allies’ forces from Afghanistan it is utterly impossible for Pakistan to organize them with its economy.
Now the most important question arises here after this incident the world has abandoned the idea of trusting Pakistan whether it is about its Nuclear weapons safety or the harbouring the Al Qaeda and the Talban and at the end, the cooperation with the allied forces in Afghanistan. Now with Such serious question of strategic importance and a record of mistrust, how it can keep up with the world? These are the questions upon which a long debate can be initiated. However, it should be clear that we are talking about a Pakistan that cannot be trusted in future. But in reality, we can see that America has long ago abandoned the idea of trusting Pakistan. This was the main reason that it had to carry out the May 2 operation without Pakistan’s knowledge. And it did not hide its distrust that had it informed Pakistani authority; the operation might have turned into a failure.
Either the Pakistan’s secret agencies knew about the hideout of the world No 1 terrorist, or it was incompetent. If we pay attention to two important points meticulously, despite being highly discreet, America has, by its actions, disclosed a lot of things; particularly leaving behind it a lot of eye witnesses, and showing no haste of taking them back to America, but asking about the names of the officials who were in contact with Ben Laden before establishing the crime. These two things are the substantial evidences that can establish the fact that America has collected enough evidences about Ben laden and its circle for the past nine months. Now it wants Pakistan to corroborate these evidences. Now it also wants to see whether Pakistan has learned a lesson or continues its antics of being innocent. But so far Pakistan is still maintaining a stiffly state of denial. Being bogged into Afghan quagmire and afraid of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons falling into the wrong hands, America is going to do nothing, contrary to what it has done with other stubborn nations on matters of international importance. But one mustn’t muster a wrong notion that Pakistan can break its international isolation. Pakistan’s internal and external are so complex that the current American pressure has suffocated its oxygen – the 400% of corruption, the freedom movements of different nationalities, particularly the Baloch freedom movement, which is now in a decisive phase and might inspire the Sindhis and Pashtuns and their restlessness and chaos squarely benefit the Baloch national struggle for freedom. And it is what that can beat Pakistan black and blue. Gen Kayani, during a visit to Quetta, justifiably cited the example of Soviet Union collapse, hinting toward the chaos that Pakistan is facing today.
Development of this country has stopped long ago, and it has already started creating new difficulties for Pakistan. The lack of foreign investment and the shutdown of its own local industries would push Pakistan towards a dark alley. The external pressure apparently might not increase as it is, but the semi-death economy of Pakistan would be sufficient for it to capitulate and accept its defeat. Mistrust is the main reason which has increased the external pressure. A few times ago the Guardians and New York times have said that the high level officials of America regard Pakistan’s ISI as a terrorist organization and Pakistan started a great hue and cry about it. But on May 2 the Americans themselves captured Osama Ben laden right in the backyard of its Kakol Military Academy with ten telephones, ten computers and several other evidences. Caught off guarded, Pakistan has now failed to make any headway. As from the beginning of the article we had said that it has now become Pakistan’s state policy to host these extremists. Therefore, after Osama Bin laden, Pakistan would be languishing far behind India on Afghanistan issue. Therefore, it is something that Pakistan cannot stomach it. As a result, it would do its level best to reinvigorate the power of religious forces so that the absence of Bin Laden is not felt. They knew it long ago that Pakistan would remain important till the war in Afghanistan is ragging. The day the war came to an end, Pakistan would lose its importance. This is a view about Pakistani leadership which the Americans have long ago revealed on many occasions.
The matter of fact is that Pakistan has no control over the situations. The only thing that is still remaining under the control is the “Mullahs” with their Madrassas; on which the money of America and West are accurately being used against America and West on the right time.

The interests of Russia and America in Balochistan, Crucial time for Baloch leadership to make right decision
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
In pitch battles, for the last 5 years, Baloch nation is lonely fighting its war against powerful Pakistani state. And the big powers have contented themselves by adopting a notorious policy of silence and declaring Baloch issue an internal matter of Pakistan, despite the fact that it has committed barbaric state sponsored genocide of Baloch nation. And they have been forced to live a shelter less lives in number of hundreds of thousands. However, the uprising of Baloch national struggle for .freedom and the public support of it in mass has succeeded, to some extent, in attracting the world powers attention
Keeping in view this interest, American ambassador Anne W Patterson visited Balochistan and expressed her intention of opening up a consulate in Quetta. Right after that visit, Russian counsel also, on behalf of his country, expressed his interest of investing in Balochistan. In his he said that “peace in Balochistan would be established only when the rights of Balochistan people are resorted back to .them, and then the horizon of investment would expand there”.The latter part of the sentence of Russian counsel talk is quite correct, that if peace prevails in balochistan, then investment would follow the suit, and people start thinking about mega projects. But, keeping in view the current situation of world politics, it is extremely necessary to explain and rectify the first part of the sentence so that the big powers, including America and Russia would not take wrong steps along the .lines of misinformation provided by Iran and Pakistan, which would result into disastrous consequences.
Now let us come to the first part of the statement of Russian diplomat, without which nothing can be deduced. The first part of his discourse is so identical to that of Pakistani establishment and the federal and provincial ministers who are often seen to have stating things about Baloch national issue which have nothing to do with reality. Today it isn’t the case of what Pakistan should give to Baloch nation. Rather, today Baloch is hell bent on to restore its lost national sovereignty over its homeland for peace and prosperity at any cost. They say that they have nothing to do with Pakistani map, because they share no historical and economic relationship with it. Therefore, it would be a historical blunder, if, in the name of rights, Russia or America wished Pakistan to throw some leftover in front of Baloch, and this would force them to abandon their national identity Baloch national issue isn’t an economic crisis; rather, it is a complete political problem, based on Baloch nation’s unnatural division, and illegal occupation of its homeland. Even though, to prolong their occupations, Pakistani and Iranian rulers, with their ubiquitous allegation, do not hesitate to charge that Baloch are secessionists and agents of America, Russia, India and Israel, yet they can’t pluck the courage to acknowledge the reality and face the simple question, that is: what is your relationship with Baloch nation? Or this question: if you do not relinquish an inch of your own homeland, then under which humanitarian and international laws, you have divided Baloch nation and its land?into different parts? Can’t you be ashamed of your conduct of annihilating Baloch as a nation such aggressive policies have compelled Baloch nation to think about different dimensions of their struggle for survival. Now they have realized that if their slavery lingers any further more, undesirable adverse impacts would prove disastrous for their identity. Baloch, subjugated under Persian domination, have been pushed against the wall to such an extent, that they even cannot baptize their children with Balochi names like Miran, Gowahram Mazarhan, Shalli, Banadi and Durren Malik. They are not allowed to adopt Baloch language as medium of instruction in the schools. Those who raise such question would be ridiculed at. In schools Baloch history is not taught. In political and social life Baloch are totally excluded. For example, Chahabar, a purely Baloch populated city, is totally being administered by non-Baloch, from a sweeper to a high ranking official, all are Persian. In short, wearing Balochi attire in Iranian occupied Balochistan is an indignity. Regarding the situation there there must raise a question for the civilized world and the world powers as well that “if it is genocide? of a nation? Then what is it”
The same heinous crimes are also being committed by Pakistani state occupied Balochistan. Here too Balochi language is not allowed to be taught in schools. No stone is unturned to erase Baloch history. Standard mark is stipulated to enticement and appeasement of Islam. Therefore, for the last 62 years all decisions have been made against Baloch nation. No one of those who came in power dared to speak against these accesses, because, before coming into power, they had to mortgage their language, patriotism in Islamabad. But, whenever they realized their mistakes and dared to speak up, were kicked out of power disgracefully. Today, as it has already been said, for the sake of survival, Baloch nation has decided their future beyond Pakistani geography. That is way; public power is resting with pro-independent forces. Therefore, it is unrealistic and it amounts to ignorance to say that Pakistan would put Baloch rights at their doorsteps. Rather, it exacerbates the situation furthermore. The reason is simple: even an empty diplomatic statement from a super power country like Russia would encourage Pakistan to regard it a clear and explicit support for Islamabad and it would demonstrate to the world that Russia is an ally against Baloch national struggle for freedom, which eventually would create undesirable sentiments against Russia in Baloch political society. And this .would create direct adverse impacts on the war against terrorism of those; with whom, Russia is an ally, one way or another
Positive role required from Russia: the complexity of Afghan problem and the sphere of influence of Pakistan has pushed America along with its NATO allies, including the entire civilized world, into a difficult quagmire, whereby it has become a compulsion of business for Pakistani state to continue the game of drawing lines between Islam and other religions. For this purpose, Pakistan is using its old Mullah allies, (including masques) and it cashing in for the role of the drama, in which it is playing as an ally in the front line of the war against terrorism. In a time when, almost all mosques in Pakistan are engaged in a propaganda campaign against America and the West (including Christianity), there should be an uncontroversial or less controversial power in the region, which could stand in between to prevent the .abhorrence against America, West and Christianity, deterring them from falling into the hands of extremist forces.As Russia has already its roots in this region, therefore it is easy for it to emerge as a relatively uncontroversial progressive big power.
There is no doubt in it that Russia China, America and Europe have their own interests and reservations. But all these countries are .unequivocally united on three points: * to free the region from Islamic extremism, *drug trafficking, *proliferation of WMD. The credit goes to Russia and China for the weak grip of America and NATO over these three issues and the lack of appropriate pressure over Iran. The war in northern region of Pakistan has had positive impacts on the war in Afghanistan. But the same task, which is being not done whole heartily by Pakistan, is going to get done by Iran. As Iran has engaged world community into a complex situation over its biggest atomic program, therefore, it largely dominates all other issue, whenever talks take place. By turning this important issue into a smokescreen, Iran has taken in Russia, which, so far, did not demonstrate the seriousness to the desirable extent, by relating the two remaining issues with Iran.
It is my point of view that if the world community did not get rid of these issues, Russia and India would be the ones, who bear the brunt of losses, most of all. (As India is already present with an active role, therefore it is out of our discussion) although it was America and NATO states who fought the war and, are still fighting it. Though the access of extremists to reach them is not impossible, but it could prove extremely hard for them. However, besieged by the extreme difficulties, it is not possible for Russia to deter the callous terrorists; because, if the criterion of jihad is confined only to the war against non-Muslim and the Caliphate of Muslims, then Russia is fully fit for their mark. And they already had a successful jihad against it. So, keeping in view its interests, first, Russia should openly cooperate with America and NATO on these three issues, and then it would be easy for it to overcome its countless difficulties. (The technical dimensions of the subject are not under discussion here) the first brave and prudential step that Russia has taken against Iran’s nuclear program is praiseworthy and a just policy .in every aspect. New aggressive thinking required: Entire world powers, including Russia, America and Europe, have to think in different dimensions about resolving all issues related to this region by taking aggressive steps. And that thought should be founded on a reality, that “.Pakistan and Iran are the root cause of all problems”
It is stupidity and wastage of time to think that by regime change or change of party at power, the problems would be resolved. Therefore, the countries that are thinking to invest in this region should encourage those forces, which can help resolve the above mentioned issues, .instead of relying on these states and allowing them to thrive on intrigues and corruption.So far as the both states, Pakistan and Iran are concerned, they are unable to help anyone, unless and until the problems of occupied .nationalities are resolved. And the solution of the issues of these nationalities is resting only in the recognition of their freedom.If Russia and America did not show any seriousness on this idea, neither they will be able to achieve success in Afghanistan nor does their public have a sound sleep of peace. Like an irresponsible country such as Pakistan, Iran, controlled by fanatic mullahs, is about to possess .atomic bomb and it would exacerbate the existing problems around the world in several folds
Therefore, it is necessary for Russia and America to regard Baloch nation a separate entity while coining any policy towards Iran and Pakistan. Today Baloch are moving towards the direction, where they will be able to make autonomous decision. The failure of gas pipeline project between Pakistan Iran and India, and the failed designs of Pakistan in Gwader are an eye opening example. Given the spiraling precarious situations, it is easy to say that within a few years time, it would be utterly impossible for Pakistanis to loot the precious minerals .and transport them to Karachi from RicoDik, Saindek and Jahlawan historical moment for Baloch leadership to take correct decision: Now it is no more a secret that Baloch Motherland has become the mouth watering focal point of interests of America and Russia including the entire world. We should not be embarrassed of this new phenomenon of interest, because all countries around the world devise their policies according to their interests. Keeping in view of national interest trade and developments are carried out. It is just like a customer buy goods from a shopkeeper, by this interaction, both customer and the shopkeeper are satisfied and happy. Under the same potential principle, world economy is progressing ahead which is the direct antonym of .loot, corruptions and exploitation.
Baloch are the owner of their homeland, therefore, by keeping in view their national interests, they should concentrate on policy making efforts according to universally excepted principles. But they cannot get their policies recognized, unless they made it clear that no power can .do anything without their consent.
The day when Baloch reached to this position, the world would begin to value their national interests, just as they expect good conduct .from other nation to value their national interests
Even though it is difficult as yet, but the day Baloch succeeded in moving towards forming an alliance (more active than the current Baloch National Front). No power would ignore Baloch national interest while devising one’s own policy of national interests, because, only the .balanced mutual interests between Baloch and other nations would grantee successful agreements.
To sum up the argument, we want to explain the point about the “Grant Alliance”, because, there are some opportunists who want to .exploit the concept of the Grant Alliance by presenting their own diversionary interpretation
Our main objective is to see all those Baloch political forces into one single alliance or a party, who have dispensed with Pakistani parliamentary politics altogether and struggling for the freedom of their homeland. We understand that unity among pro-independent forces leads to national redemption. Similarly, we believe that any parliamentary political alliance, that ever took places, would turn out to be a deadly poison for Baloch national struggle for freedom, which legally justifies Pakistani sovereignty over external and internal affairs. If pro parliamentary parties were brought in power with an organized strength, it would create difficulties for pro- independent forces for defending their struggle for freedom externally and internally. In such condition, occupying states of Baloch homeland would be the indirect beneficiary by exploiting the legitimacy of Baloch parliamentary politics - they could take in any world power, including Russia and America by asserting that Baloch are satisfied with Pakistani sovereignty and that they want internal autonomy with more power, for which it is ready confer with. Therefore, there exists no pro-independent force. At the same it would be easy for Pakistan to dub the pro-independent forces as secessionists that that has made their way into public. And that by the help of international community they could be eliminated and peace would prevail .all around and the possibility of investment would increase.
The powers, which are in need of a certificate to carry out mass genocide of Baloch pro-independent forces, should come forwards and .support pro-Pakistani parliamentary forces
Similarly, those who want to see the pro-independent forces to succeed, should come forwards and sever their all ties with Pakistan, until .Balochistan gains its freedom.
This is the only way of emancipation of Baloch nation, which forces the world powers to pay attention to Baloch national interests. Otherwise by remaining as a Pakistani unit, no one would care about the will of our nation, just as they had never cared in the past and all our future affairs too would be determined according to Islamabad’s will.

Announcement of Establishing USA Consulate in Quetta: The Accuracy of Earlier Mistakes OR Hoping for Success in the Wake of Obstinate Personalities
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
In todays condition the Americans & Western Consular roam all over Pakistan, they meet and visit all the federal and provincial personalities but no media report can be seen reporting there meetings or visits like it is the daily routine, some media report broadcast their meetings and write some old written statements or better yet write some black words under their meeting pictures and all the issues discussed are finished with those lines.
These meetings never have a bold impact over to a common men’s life that is why they are not too much important, but like these, another meeting of American Ambassador to Pakistan about the ongoing volatile situation of Balochistan happened between different immobile personalities of Balochistan with them some journalists also were invited along, this meeting got the attention of many and even still many serious organizations have not ended their discussion about the reason and showed their disparagement over this meeting and above all this report is in itself imperative that America is very much keen to open a consulate in Quetta, Balochistan on which many formed and unformed reactions have been literally seen.
As per their believe which is itself not odd the religious group gave infuriated statements over to America’s decision which according to them is to keep an eagle eye over to the religious groups and the Quetta Shura(Islamic Parliament) of Taliban and a strategy against Islam but from a common Baloch to a educated and literate Baloch all seems to be content and approved this decision because according to them if America establish its consulate (Where already an Anti-Baloch state like Iran have their consulate) then it will be beneficial as per them that America would see all the ordeal and the operations going on inside Balochistan from their own views. Baloch nation have never concealed any thing that is why there is nothing to be feared If someone who should fear this decision then they are those who in the name of school, hospitals, clean drinking water and other humanitarian works along ripping the roots of Taliban and Al-Qaeda tricks America to have funds and aids which are then utilized for chemical bombs, and are served with big quantity of arms and ammunitions used for casting chaos are tested on unarmed and innocent Baloch.
In this aspect, the brief detailing of the situation of regional dilemma, the risk of Islamic extremism, the anxiousness of Pakistani government & clerics and the intensiveness of Baloch cause will assist us to get to the root cause if we take a profound look on all of them.
- The Situation of Regional Dilemma & the Risk of Islamic Extremism:
From 1950 to date Pakistan has never been one’s true interest or was seen as important, but the fact is this that the Pakistani government in the disguise of friendship and with the help of American & western funds created & bred such a clot and darn it with the world political and economical progress that America along with the world have been mangled with problems. From this aspect America with its interest in the land made the biggest mistake when it was irritated by Soviet Union presence which led helping Pakistan to create such an elucidated ideology which have became more radical & dangerous then the ideology of socialism and thus this did approved to be true. The American Think Tank in the easiness of helping the Islamic extremist and jihad forgot to take care of one tiny truth that Pakistan from which they were receiving help has itself been established with the ideology of “Two Nation Theory” which in turn is supported by religious radicalism, and if Pakistan was provided with resources & given chance to develop Islamic radicalism then it will surely build such a fort for its defense that it would be difficult to get close to it.
With this mistake by America the Pakistani government worked on their interest that propagated to the breeding of Jihadies and the enrichment of Islamic madarsas all over Pakistan against their arch rival India. To the date when war with Soviet Union was on its verge Pakistani supported Kashmir struggle also reinforced and with the infinite flow of funds the vagabond state like Pakistan produced its nuclear bombs. The center of American interest was to isolate socialism from the region on which it was victorious but in that time Pakistan was busy constructing plans of plunging them to crisis for which whether they were not fully aware or they were avoiding seeing that way or better they were rejoicing the defeat of Soviet Union that they forgot about it what ever the case from this mistake the world is being punished that a distrustful country like Pakistan got its nuclear weapons. The reason Iran is enthusiastic to obtain Atomic power is because of the Pakistani Atomic program and to stop this, the world and the super power are still ineffective. From the funds obtained from America and Western countries Pakistan successfully deepened the cross line between Islam and other religions and “Islamic Chauvinism” was raised to such a height that American interest for Pakistan started to decline.
“Came late but still there’s time”, following this example the worn-out America have stopped circling, and started thinking to take the matters in their own hands which is being seen in these recent times, on which we as an oppressed nation welcome this thought because Baloch intellectuals and politicians have always been requesting to the world to stop Pakistan which is eager to convert Balochistan into a sanctuary for Taliban that is why if the world wants to save themselves they should look into our interests and needs. A protected Balochistan from Taliban and Al Qaeda is the wish of Baloch, America and the moderate world and that is why it is being seen the first time that Baloch nation and America are 100% concerned over one interest and may be this is also the first time being seen that in this region Baloch nation is the only one that can help America and all the powers of the world and also it is being seen the first time that the world powers are changing their thoughts and beliefs about Baloch nation and Balochistan.
Like Taliban are the biggest threat to America and Europe, Baloch nation also feel this extremism terror over their heads. In only Baloch society a faction known as Zikri by religion have a population of millions has already been deemed by extremist clerics as Kafirs (Non-Muslim) and their religious heritage have been considered as non-Islamic and incredulous, and some of these clerics have by force tried to turn them and if they objected, they were legally marked to be killed. It is the Baloch heritage, Blood relationship and political and economical balance that have so far stopped this or else Zikri’s would have faced their doom.
The second and biggest problem Baloch face by the threat of Talibanisation is that if Taliban began thriving in Balochistan and succeeded to establish their hold on it then Pakistan would calm itself from what we call as Baloch struggle and Pakistan would get its chance to counter it with ease, Because that would be the case Taliban wont be on the red mark of Pakistan and in their cloak Pakistan would target Baloch Freedom Fighters, apart from these points it should also be noted that Baloch nation will also face the threat of Islamic extremism which is now being faced by the world. Now in these situations that on one place the threat of Taliban & Al-Qaeda are dangling on the heads of the world and on the other hand a secular minded nation like Baloch are resisting with full force and are gaining new heights which caused America and Europe to take Baloch and Balochistan as a serious matter and pressure is upon them.
The big powers of this world intentionally or fully believe that such a land which comprises so many rich resources should not be left out for these crazy Irani Mullah’s and an artificial state like Pakistan. In our thoughts we believe America and Europe now realize the truth which have been hidden from them that if they lose the war in Afghanistan then it would be hard for them to balance themselves here for long which means that all those Central Asian energy resources which turns to billions will slip from their hands, the resources of Balochistan and the main Strategic post all would be left on the mercy of others and with that China with its allies will take over all these important matters which will cause a big vacuum in the world political and economical programs and America & Europe would mostly be affected with it, Which in the end will not be that easy to be put back to place for the interest of America or its allies.
Now in these aspects only Baloch freedom struggle is the light which if becomes strong and successful can be very much helpful but both Pakistan and Iran with their joint operations are trying their best to crush it with full force. It is now being considered a war over Balochistan and Baloch nation which in fact is this that both these extremist State want to rap up all the secular nations from this region so they could flourish their culture of Islamic extremism in that place which is still being resisted by Baloch nation. If Pakistan and Iran continue their wicked acts in the full view of America and all the developing countries of the world and if they succeeded in crushing the Baloch freedom struggle then after the devastation of Baloch nation the First world will be the one who bear the most damage.
- The Anxiousness of Pakistani Government & Clerics:
The statement given by Ms. Anne Peterson about establishing a Washington consulate have caught all the Mullah’s in surprise whom reacted vigorously because they know very well that if America succeeded in opening a consulate then all their hidden secrets would become crystal clear and with this maybe a common Baloch would also becomes aware that on what grounds these religious clerics have peace with establishment of Pakistan which is clear cut to wipe out Baloch nation from Balochistan and maybe this would also become clear that how in the name of God these madarsas are operated and how children are brain washed to be used by these jihadi organizations. Because this was seen in past years that when Taliban succeeded to hold the Government in Afghanistan then these two groups “Jamiat Ulma-e-Islam” & “Jamat-e-Islami” celebrated and rejoiced in Pakistan and when the Talibanic government was dissolved how they lamented.
The biggest proof of their anxiousness is this that when ever they perform the 5 times prayer, the Juma (Friday) prayer and the Eid prayers they always attempt to condemn America and label it as the Satan no 1 of the world in their speeches which in turn will credit those forces who are fighting against America and it is such kind of propaganda which is to be destroyed and crushed. There is a saying in Balochi “Mahzoor Dast Mators Dil” means “Staying away from Brawling and crooking then there is nothing to fear”.
It is our bad luck that these madarsas and mosques are also being used against wiping out nations. So that is why they would try to condemn all such acts which will help to recognize their bondage with this establishment and the hidden facts of their wicked deeds that they do while establishing these madarsas and mosque to keep clamping on to the oppressed nation.
- The Intensiveness of Baloch Cause:
Like we in our start discussed that if America establishes their consulate in Quetta then it will help them to better understand the Baloch national movement although Baloch national movement has its own agenda and a unique policy (Which is still intact) and without any praising or criticism of America and Europe it is still moving ahead. The fact is this that it doesn’t matter if America or any other country wants to open its consulate in Quetta or any other place will have any or some effect in Baloch Movement in gaining the international views because Baloch national movement will move on its track whether American consulate be establish or the plan to it be dissolved. It is the blood of the Martyred, the sufferings of missing persons, the steadiness of internally war displaced people and the resisting of Baloch freedom fighters that have heighten the struggle to such a hilt that without noticing it would be difficult to move ahead. But still this question is important to point out that if America is eager to open a consulate in Quetta without noticing Baloch freedom struggle then how they would react when they feel and observe this struggle.
So in this connection there are only 2 opinions that are now in discussion, one is that after the opening of the consulate they would try to pursue the Baloch leadership and pressure them to accept the slavery of Punjabi and Qajar whom are on other side of the border, which in simple language can be called as to drop the slogan of freedom and arrange a negotiation meeting between Punjabi, Qajar and Baloch leadership. And the other would be to respect the Baloch need and morally support their ideology for freedom and to help them achieve a solution for it. Most of time there seems to be no firm response or reaction from America, Europe & their allies about Baloch & Balochistan, it doesn’t matter if Pakistan tricks them or don’t play fair in the case of Taliban they are not ready to finger the artificial geography of Pakistan, without realizing the problems of Baloch nation they call it Balochistan problem and they are even not ready to even have a different look at it other then Iran and Pakistan that is why they are still not set to see the cause through Baloch nation’s perspective. May be the person who gave advice to Ms Anne Peterson also have these thoughts that is why they told her that if Brahamdagh Bugti is brought to the negotiation table then all the Balochistan (Not of Baloch nation) problem will be solved, in this case the authorities who knows the real problem didn’t mentioned it so to mislead Ms Anne Peterson in their treacherous advice which is the cause that the problem of Baloch nation have gone to the point of no return. In the recent situation who ever gives such suggestion than there is only one thing to say about his intellectuality.“That if a person possess such thinking it is better to run away from them”.
The second path is to mend the negotiation talks by keeping the agenda of freedom from Baloch nation, which at present is hard to talk about, but by seeing the lifeless being of Pakistani government point us to a theory that America without using any method of converse about Balochistan (Including Baloch nation) is communicating profusely and everything Pakistan is doing with Baloch nation it is considered to be a tough test for the International powers & Human rights organizations. The Pakistani authorities (Who for security reason asked America to flatten the establishment of consulate) from their dreadful deeds know somehow that International power and Human rights organizations who in meantime are presenting restless, unobservant forms & showing illicit silence will in no time start shrieking over to the violation of human rights on Baloch nation and their obliteration and when that time comes when these powers start to speak about the atrocities then Pakistan caught red handed like a thief would be left with no speech to defend itself. If the construction of this consulate is to catch the thief red handed, to find a solution to have peace in this region & to clear the obstacle for a global interest then this decision is very much pleasing and this is important as in meantime Pakistan, China & Iran are busy bonding to promote their interest which is very much detrimental to Baloch and International interest.
In short it doesn’t matter if America succeeds or not in opening a consulate but they should regard this point that solution to Baloch problem is not in the advice of those who were responsible for all this destruction, and the way out to all this is only and only in the acknowledging Baloch agenda which according to Nawab Khair Bux Marri is to distinguish the Baloch agenda from that of Pakistan & Iran and it should also be noted that in the present the oppressed and subjugated but autonomous believers and secular Baloch nation with achieving their independence can be a faithful friend and ally to all those developed countries. In the conclusion we would like to state this also that without distinguishing Baloch problem from that of Pakistan & Iran geography, the American and NATO forces will not get a safe passage from Afghanistan with these two forces collaborating. Confessed to the killings of many activists, and has announced its intention to kill 35 more activists on its hit list in recent weeks. The organization has three activists in its custody and announces that at any time their bodies will be gifted to the nationalist movement of Balochistan. There has been no action from the authorities against the organization however.

On the one hand America is fully allowed to continue its drone attacks, but on the other, these attacks are being propagated as attacks on the Muslim, and as a tool to instigate hatred against Christians and Jews. After the termination of Bin laden, being disgraced they have now started a great hue and cry that their sovereignty has been violated.
The aforementioned rationale could be used as stimulant for creating now Talban. The religious extremism, which America and West nurtured against the socialism and Pakistan adopted it as a source of income, has now become so complicated that world has to adopt a new mechanism to unravel it all over again with affective schemes and formations. (To treat this subject an appropriate time is required to bring it under discussion).
War for Islam, “Jihad”, has now become a full-fledged industry where the excellent brains of this country are working. By the virtue of this, Americans are spending 1.5 million dollars against 1.00 dollar of the terrorists, which has not only affected American economy, but also it has become one of the main reasons of economic crisis of the world. This was the necessity that not only Pakistan hosted Bin Laden, but there also comes a day when we all know that the majority of the Talban commanders too have been hosted in one of Pakistan’s many military cantonments. One way or another, there must have been complicity of high level military and political leadership in the fanatic religious industry; and it never wants to handover such Talban commanders or warriors which can prove their complicity. To be precise, the war in Afghanistan becomes more complicated, where Pakistan along with Afghan Talban will take revenge on American and West. They will also target India with full force. Meanwhile America along with world community would try their best to be cautious while establishing relationship with Pakistan. They even try their level best to not inter into any interaction with it until it is extremely necessary. And this intensifies the internal chaos and the external pressure which eventually force it to abdicate its whim of patronizing the religious extremists and the weapons of mass destruction; hence the downsizing of Pakistan with minimum losses.

Once again, the disintegration of Pakistan re-sounding…
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
In an article published in The Asia Times, well known International Strategic Analyst Pepe Escobar has revealed that Washington D.C. has put its 'Laser ray' sight on the Pakistani occupied Baluchistan. Washington wants to break and divide Pakistan in the same manner as the Balkan Region in the decade of 1990.
On Pakistan's decline the Analyst has used the term of Balkanization. He writes that the American Administration is in complete favour of this province's freedom. This plan has gained great popularity in Washington's diplomatic and policy making circles. Baluchistan remains totally under the radar of the frenetic US news cycle and Gwader is the main part of new US great game. American organizations have given the name "Eurasia Piplinistan" to this plan. To bring this plan on a working process, the strict General Stanley Mike Crystal to be appointed on behalf of General Patrice and Helmand's new military bases, are the main points analysts are looking at these days. Pepe, writing more on the American plan about Baluchistan, says Americans have confessed that numerous Balochi readers pointed out to this correspondent that it is now in fact a 50% Balochi/Pashtun province. Most Pashtoons live near the Afghan border. And many happen to be neighbours of Afghanistan's Helmand province - the key site of the upcoming Obama surge. In case of a hypothetical balkanization of Pakistan, Balochs and Pashtuns would go separate ways. Quetta, the provincial capital, in terms of population and business activity, is already dominated by Pashtuns. Considering this last sentence true, Mr. Escobar has given importance writing that Baluchistan's internal politics are complex. Balochs and Brahvies are separate nationalities - with different spoken languages and culture. Quite a few Balochis do not accept Brahvies as Balochs.Honestly, these last two sentences made us helpless stopping ourselves in sharing our views on this topic because Dear Mr. Escobar's all these views are not at all new to me, except using Helmand military bases for Baluchistan Liberation point. Other than this, we have cleared all the other points in many of our articles which have been published in the newspaper Daily Tawar. Readers may remember that once we even wrote at the point that Pakistan with its geography is not acceptable and is of no interest for the world. The US and the entire world has tolerated Pakistan's attitude over Baluchistan. Punjab had taken Baloch's responsibility and all the talks were through Punjab but now experience has proven that Punjab has failed badly in fulfilling these responsibilities. After previous military operations, fifth military operation has opened the eyes of many countries that Baloch nation does not accept its slavery. Previous years resistance has shown everyone that to live and work peacefully in this region Baloch's willingness is a must. Other then Baluchistan's resources the things we have always focused include Central Asia's mineral resources and gas. To reach these minerals and gas it is very necessary to keep peace in Baloch and Pashtoon areas and now these both nations want direct issues. Pakistan interferes in Baloch, Afghan and US issues making itself concern without any reason. Baloch leader Nawab Khair Baksh once even said that we can negotiate with a pig but not a Punjabi. If the matter has come to this point so the US should kick Punjab out from its gate keeping duty.Here we will once again discuss on these aspects which foreign intellectuals neglect or don’t bring them under discussion because of some interests and give their decisions through surface discussions that US wants to break Pakistan to easily get Baluchistan's rich minerals. To think and say on these topics these Misters don’t bother to think that; Any Pakistani ruler can even think of standing as a barrier in front of any US interest? And if US is interested in conquering Baluchistan's minerals, are Pakistani rulers ready to play any mega project or any contract drama in front of US to handover them the minerals? Therefore, in our opinion liberating Baluchistan might be one reason to conquer natural resources of Baluchistan by the US but it can't be the basic reason because to reach this aim it is very necessary to solve three main problems. If these problems are not solved so reaching Baluchistan's assets and central Asia's gas might just remain a dream. Those Problems are related to Pakistan's existence and all the useless efforts done by the Pakistani rulers to make the US, Europe and the civilized world believe that Pakistan can solve these problems;
1. Spreading Religious Extremists,
2. Islamic Nuclear Assets,
3. Drugs.
These three problems are both for US and the coalitions imagined lethal. International analysts talking about Pakistan's Breakage neglect these points whereas Pakistan's wrong statements and failure are the main cause of its destructions. We have always tried to gain attention to these three main (and several countless small) problems only appearing solution is Hillary Clinton's suggestion which is down-sizing Pakistan, Or if, the fight against the Islamic extremists may increase to bigger cities of Pakistan and the main cause for this will be Pakistan's inner destabilized political system, corruption, ruler and public distance and will create a worse situation.After so many assurances Islamic nuclear weapons are still not safe in world's eyes and local Pashtoons are suffering hard because of the military operation going on in the tribal areas. There are very few chances that in near future Pakistani military might be able to sustain government writ in tribal areas. At the moment, prayers for Pakistani military win are considered by us as pure government propaganda because many such claims were made in the past which appeared false later on. It has become very difficult for Pakistan to adjust and hide the refugees (Pashtoons) anywhere. Punjab and Sindh has started raising their voices against unfortunate refugees (Pashtoon) which leads these hundreds of thousands of people not giving their sympathy to Pakistani rulers or public(Punjabis and Muhajirs and at some point Sindhis). The same military who consists of 40% of Pashtoons is on war against Pashtoon and genociding them. In this situation Taliban and other religious movements will get boost in fact the possibility of Pakistani Islamic nuclear assets getting into these extremists movement increases on a large scale which is not less than a hanging sword on the American forces.Pakistan existence political (corrupt) and social make is understood to be the main problem in this religious war causing it still far from victory. Until and unless Pakistan is divided into different parts it is not possible to stop these religious extremists from moving one place to another or to bring them under any control. Similar problems are with the drugs issue. No such country can control drugs where a border security guard can make much more money than a city DCO. Militia and Anti-Narcotics officers don’t bother to speak until the deal is in millions. To break these chains also, it is important to divide Pakistan in different parts.In short, these are the basic things causing the US and the world chase Pakistan. But, it doesn’t means the US ever thought that these aims can be achieved rubbing Aladdin's lamp. There is no doubt that US willingness is needed in building or disintegrating any country. If everything done in this world was under US wishes, so countries like Iran and North Korea wouldn’t have existed in the world map. In Pakistan's case, it has already been divided into different parts and is in state of war which is due to the evil-doings of its own rulers. Now the world is thinking how to separate these parts in less loss. Here we 100% agree with the foreign intellectuals and analysts that the brave US is now fed-up of its nearest coalition Pakistan and wants to bring Pakistan on such a stage that it won't be able to make the US chase it anymore. Therefore we being Baloch are very depressed by issues relating Baluchistan published in Pakistan lacking reality and consisting more of imagination. The thought of people living in US after these kinds of media propagandas against Baluchistan and Balochs not only increases the threat of civil war but the aim the world including Balochs have been struggling for, might not be achieved. The most repeated mistake which the Pakistani media always tries to promote is the Baloch-Pashtoon population ratio. In each and every analysis Baloch population is (criminally) made to appear less so that Baloch cannot claim the ownership of this land. Hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees came to Baluchistan after the Red Revolution who were later on made to appear the natives of different divisions and provided with National ID cards by the so-called Baloch and Pashtoon pro-parliament leaders to gain their votes (they are present in large number in Pashtoon areas whereas in Baloch areas specially in Chaghi large numbers of refugees were provided NIDs) After adding all these numbers Pashtoon become 25per cent, different ethnics become 15per cent whereas Baloch remains in majority by 60per cent. Balochs and Pashtoons both are living separate in their own separate historical homelands and there is no land basis conflict in between them if one is not created. Although Pakistani media and foreign writers usually show both these nations as 50/50 in this land and more on Baloch is divided into 2 parts to convey Pakistani heart-sayings. Mr. Escobar has repeated the same felony mistake showing Balochs and Brahvis as two different nations and their language, culture and traditions different. This is such an aberrant, Baloch enemy and far from reality conspiracy which is only done by Baloch nation's enemy or someone who is not acquainted to Baloch history."Most of the Balochs don’t see Brahvis as Balochs" this sentence of Mr. Escobar cannot be digested by us at all. He even did not mention the source of this information. Although here it is necessary to explain that no Balochi or Brahvi speaking Personal or head ever mention this irresponsible statement that Balochs and Brahvis are two different nations. We think we don’t have to make anyone understand that if the proofs are invalid so the decision similarly becomes a wrong and an injustice one. This is the basic point we are trying to bring under debate since long. Baloch leadership should pay attention on the issues which are going to be great threat in the near future rather than hoping anything from Pakistan. In Baluchistan there is no role of Baloch in any job, educational centres, development funds and other government facilities. Baloch has been taken out so smoothly in Pakistan's national issues. Its leadership does not know or is confused that it should leave the preparations for elections and give their time to plan some tactics for their nation's survival. On the other hand, if Washington and the world's powerful countries act under these untrue facts about Baloch and Baluchistan being published on international level, it may result very terrifying. It can be an effort done by the enemies of the Baloch Cause to spread such information about Baloch and Baluchistan and make them acceptable. To fail these efforts Baloch pro-liberation leaders have a lot of capacity. People can make decisions on your case on the social make only if the information they get are based on true facts or if changes brought on the basis of false information will only increase the tensions already present there.

The only solution to the Afghan problem
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Apparently America had a big gratitude on Russia by removing its missile shield program from Eastern Europe, because from the beginning it has been opposing it. However, there are two main reasons behind it which are generally ignored; no one is willing to turn the debate towards it and both reasons are related to afghan and Iraq wars. This was the main reason the America brought changes to its missile shield deployment program in Eastern Europe . The first reason is that the Americans are, at the same time, directly engaged in two colossal wars in two countries. These two wars have rendered the Americans into a difficult position along with its European allies. So in such circumstances, it has economically become difficult for them to continue this war further more.Secondly, quite contrary to the expectations, keeping in view the fact that they might suffer a disgraceful defeat, the Americans and the allies have all now focused all their attention towards that issue, so that they could attain a comprehensive solution to it.As our debate evolves around Afghanistan issue, therefore, we are going to analyse its different aspects and dimensions so that we could reach to a solvable result.It is our believe that there is only one solution to Afghan issue, that is, unless America and the world as well, do not think seriously that angle of the issue, then they will have to seek different solutions of several issues.
A: Then what should be done with Pakistan , Which is fighting simultaneously for Taliban and its allies through state sponsored terrorism? Now the new statement by the US government that it does not believe that nobody from Pakistanis leadership knows, where the Al Qaeda leadership sanctuaries are located, besides this, previous experiences of two years show that whenever a big operation started, either it ended up in a failed agreement, or terrorists leadership made the save escape masterly, despite the tall claims of Pakistani army that they have closed all escape routes.
B: What should be taken of the Pakistan internal problems, that even under a democratic government; corruption has broken all known record of previous governments by 400%. Who make it sure that the money been given to it for the war on terror, would not be wasted like the previous ones?
C: What is the solution of different nationalities within Pakistani federation with which Baloch and Pashtu states were forcefully annexed as a political bribe by the then British empire to safeguard it’ future Interests? Not only Pakistan has failed to keep them, but also it has made every opportunity available for Taliban and Al Qaeda to grow in these areas. In Balochistan the Baloch areas are totally free of their affects, but how one can make it sure that the Baloch areas are not going to be affected by this cancer in future?
D: What should be the take of the world community about the involvement of Pakistan in Iranian atomic weapon programs, where it is most probable that Iran would allow IAEA experts to inspect its atomic installations, but tomorrow, who predicts that it would not make an excuse and ask the inspectors to leave the country?
E: The Iranian Islamic ideology, under which the Iranian government is established, is based on the philosophy of Ayatollah Khomeini who said that there were two big Satan in the world - America and soviets union – the Iranian officials are still describing America as the biggest Satan, yet about the Russia, which is inheriting the soviets legacy, the Tehran regime has still not taken back its leader words. The main reason, why Iran is wedged with Russia is obvious because, it has now become necessary for it to seek a veto wielding power, which could help her out against Israelis and American pressure in time of need, and alleviate its difficulties.
F: It is now no more a secret that, wherever there is an insurgency in the name of Islam around the world, the fingerprints of Iranian funding and Pakistani technical supports are clearly visible. The problem, which has united the entire world against Islamic extremism, is deep rooted in Pakistan. It is fed and nourished by Iran and the Islamic extremist elements around the world. Now how this complex formation of ferocious forces can be unraveled and rendered ineffective, remains to be seen.
G: Both Pakistan and Iran are united not just because of Islamic ideology, but because of precious Baloch land, which has compelled them to be united. The unpredictable grim situation of Pakistan has worried Iran beyond its imagination, lest Balochistan should break away from Pakistan . If it happened so, then it would be utterly difficult for Iran to contain its own controlled Balochistan from breaking away! The same could be said about Pakistan comprehension. If a "successful" attack on Iran by America or Israel, or a rupture from internal pressure, would surely slash Iran into different independent nation states. It would further aggravate the situation in Pakistani controlled Balochistan. Therefore Pakistan would do every thing to strengthen Iranian position.One may wonder why we are talking about Iran 's nuclear program and the relation between Pakistan and Iran , while the subject we are here dealing with, is about Afghan issue. It is very simple, because, I think, unless America and the NATO remained bogged into Afghan quagmire; they would not be able to exert considerable/appropriate pressure on Iran . Hillary Clinton is justifiably apprehensive of Iran speedy nuclear program, "world community has no time to allow Iran any unlimited grace time".Therefore, it would be folly of the world community if it allowed conditions, conducive for Iran to prevail for enhancing its nuclear program.The above mentioned problems are different from that of Afghanistan internal countless complexities. The unpopularity of Karzai government, widespread corruption, the existence of widen gulf between Pashtuns and other nationalities, the vacillation of American and NATO military in decision making, ethical dilapidation, the increasing power of Taliban, the financial bankruptcy of US and its allies, the reluctant of nations other then the allies to assume peace keeping task, and above all The lake of an alternative ideology to replace the all powerful Islamic extremist ideology of Taliban in Afghanistan, (Because only an ideology can defeat an ideology, not the gun)Here the most worrying factor is that, apart from the Iran 's internal revulsion and its atomic program, the unpopularity of Karzai government and corruption in Afghanistan as will, all other existing problems are directly or indirectly related to Pakistan! It means Pakistan is the root cause of all those problems, which have complicated the afghan war and created problems for US and its allies.In such circumstances there remains only two ways to proceed. Firstly, all the problems should be regarded separately, and be put into separate categories, and then the solution should be sorted out; which is a time consuming and daunting task. Each problem must be thoroughly diagnosis and for each a new strategy should be chalked out. The second is that all attention should be focused on the main sources of the problem, which is Pakistan .But Before focusing all attentions on Pakistan, the question should be kept in mind why Pakistan is not serious in eliminating the Taliban and the Al Qaeda?, What is its weakness, which is urging it to create problems in Afghanistan, about Which, afghan president and US officials have often been heard that Pakistani secret agencies are involved in deteriorating the situation.It is our firms believe that unless the Americans and the entire world do not comprehend the minor fact, the solution of Afghanistan problems and forcing Pakistan to stop its involvement in it, remains an unattainable desire, and that minor fact is that Pakistan never wants a prosperous Afghanistan exists next to its door as it poses a existential threat to it. In the prospect of a prosperous and developed Afghanistan , the Pashtuns (as they call themselves Afghani) would never want to remain with another country.In this scenario, secondly, the Baloch would never relent, unless their identity is threatened. If the independent and democratic Afghanistan allowed Baloch( the Baloch who are living on their own land within afghan federacy) to enjoy all democratic and human Rights within its federation, then on the other side of the border in Pakistani controlled Balochistan, the desire of Baloch people for independent Balochistan would stirred up, which is already intriguingly fascinating. One needs to have an exclusive look on it. It is a nightmarish scenario for Pakistan .Therefore, for Pakistan unless Afghanistan remained ruined, the Durand line would remain a silent issue. The day the Durand line issue raised and Baloch leadership and Afghan government successfully presented their point of view about it before the world community, Pakistan will have to eat the humble pie in abdicating its afghan areas to Afghanistan and accepting Balochistan as an independent Baloch sovereign state.Iran is also in the same boat where it is in accomplice with Pakistan in committing the genocide of Baloch nation and other nationalities within its orb. By the virtue of the same Durand line, a large chunk of Baloch land is in its possession where Baloch are almost all excluded and kept in slavery.Keeping in view the current situation, Pakistan would not relent in foiling all those schemes and efforts made to stabilize Afghanistan, unless the world community grantees it that the Pashtuns would never, in any form, make any demand of conjoining their ancestral main home land Afghanistan.And the second grantee is that ( Pakistan 's seeking) the Baloch would not make any demand of liberation from Iran and Pakistan .But no country in the world could meet such demands particularly in circumstances, when the world have ceased in trusting Pakistan any more! Neither one can trust its politics nor does anybody trust its economy. Therefore it's seeking the defeat of America and its allies in Afghanistan forever through its foxy war by using the jihadist Taliban.Unfortunately it is not hard to conceive that Pakistan , to a great extent, has succeeded in its design. America and its allies would not be able to continue their presence any more within two and half years. So far as the question of termination of Taliban and Al Qaeda is concern, , by the virtue of Pakistani operation (the Talban would mysterly leave the place where the operation is carried out and thousands of people become homeless as result of bombardments) which, in terms of results, could be quoted as a worst form of scheming.Now in such conditions, anyhow, what should be done to remove the permanent Baloch and Pashtuns sword hanging over Pakistani head? So that it could play an affective and positive role in the war of terror! There are only two ways of resolving this question, others are temporary and ineffective.1- To bring Pakistan to the level of development with any of the developed nations in Europe, where everyone has a social welfare grantee, no one feels insecure, nor it has any restriction on crossing borders, neither has it faced any restrictions of having business, nor one faces any threat to their culture, language, and their civics social life. Even despite of presence of all these grantees, no one rejects the possibility the pashtuns will ever abdicate their desire of leaving together. And nor the Baloch would abandon the demand of an independent homeland.2- Under the objective of "divide and rule" the British Empire gifted the lands of different nations to Iran and Pakistan , as if they were their ancestral property.
Now it is imperative upon the British government to rectify the above mentioned historical blunder, returning back their lands to them. These nationalities should be allowed to live together according to their past history. So that in case of utter desperation from Balochistan , Pakistan and Iran would not be able to interfere in Afghanistan . Or they should be rendered so weaken to an extent, where they would not be able to pose anything dangerous to Afghanistan stability.So far as the development of Pakistan is concerned, it is a far off cry, all rulers, from the first prime minister till the incumbent president, no one ever tried to be self- reliant. Even in good times the hand with begging bowl has not been so stretched as its today.The history of Democracy in Pakistan has never been so radiant. Zulficar Ali Bhutto, who was regarded as the biggest democrat, has committed the worst form of undemocratic sin in the history of democracy in the world. It was he who declared the majority of Bengalese as traitor and forced them to depart their whys. The rationale behind it was to get rid of them forever. As they were in majority, if not allowed today, they would come again tomorrow in majority and claim the power be transferred to them.The judiciary in this country has also never been a trusted one. 62 years history of this county bears the witness that the judiciary has always been a congenital slave of rulers.In the name of democracy, the democratic institutions and dictators have, and sometimes together, cold bloodedly murdered the democracy in this country.Instead of establishing equality among the different nationalities, a relation of slave and master was molded to run this country. All known social ills, like lawlessness, bribery, nepotism, bankruptcy, and corruptions are increasingly allowed to prevail and expand, and the judiciary has become a spectator.The centre of our debate isn't Pakistan judiciary, so therefore let us put it in a nutshell, if a man cuts a man hand, he will be punished for it. But those, who cut off one of Pakistan 's arms ( Bangladesh ), got scout free. No one even dared to expose the secrets, let alone the punishing them. (The military operation in Balochistan, genocide of Baloch people, the apathy of judiciary towards it and the disappointment of people to the judiciary is not included in the debate)It is the bad luck of this county that all its governmental institutions are in a worst form of anarchy. Police fed up with military, military fed up with police and judiciary.The conditions of civil institutions are worst of all. The worst conditions of governmental institutions have reached to the extent, that the ruling party has no trusts in its law enforcing agencies and security institutions to arrest the killers of their leader, then how a common man would expect justice in this country for their problems. This is the weakness under which things are getting out of their control. Just to end a crisis; they have to create a new fabricated one. Then it becomes a real one with the passage of times.A country, where its government is unable to bring under control the flour, cooking oil and sugar mafia for the past 20 months, which is not armed with weapons, so how on earth one expects that it would fight the terrorism, drug smugglers, and the Islamic extremists?Those who rendered this country in such conditions are still holding the power of everything, though in different names and different forms. Now expecting from such people that they would clear all these mess is an utter stupidity, it is as if to ask someone "take this rope and hang yourself".
Here the thing which proven fatal most of all is the state structure which is established on the bases of deception of all nationalities and they have been pushed in a dark alley to hands them up off everything.
A total of 62 years was wasted in rendering the ideologies of G.M Sayad, Pacha Khan and Sardar Khair Baksh Marri ineffective. In the opposition of the above mentionsed empty handed leaders, despite of having the facility of billions of dollars and ample opportunity, This country is still bogged in a quagmire where there is no way to extract it out of its predicament.A country for which the survival of its very being is Question number one, how much time it requires to come on par with Swiss lands and Sweden. Talking about it is just a waste of your time.In our opinion, neither the world have such a amount of money nor does it has the time to pull Pakistan out of its predicaments and put it on the path of development besides fighting the war on terror. And similarly Pakistani rulers seem to have no wishes to see their country prosperous and happy.
Under current circumstances, Pakistan, because of misdeeds of its rulers, seems to be a car which is taken to a garage after the impact of a bad accident where it receive the suggestion, that it is better to put this structure in a scrap shop and sell it parts off one by one. Because the problem is that not only this car is beyond of repairable, but also it is full of explosives. One has to clear it first of its explosives, before it is required for any use.What should be done? Before answering this simple question, a minor point is necessary to be explained here. why we are not paying attention to the solution of afghan problem within it by holding new elections, establishing a temporary government, deploying the forces of Islamic countries, decreasing or increasing the American forces or withdrawing them, holding talks with Taliban and buying the local warlords etc, with several such other schemes, but instead, we suggesting the solution of Afghanistan's internal problems should be sought externally?I believe that considering the above mentioned all schemes or considering them practicable is just a self deception. Because these are the options which are in use from the beginning of afghan war till today, by using different names, different forces and different levels. It all resulted in wastage of time. And the second thing is that, if all these options are acted upon, then the defeat of allied forces is writing on the wall. And this is what Pakistan government wants.Pakistanis are still in an illusion and hoping that if the America decreased its pressure on it or withdraws itself from the area, then they would struck a deal with Talban like in past times, this make them able to move the war again into Afghanistan. And Pakistani rulers as usual, in the name of afghan war and war on terrorism will continue to black mail the world community, because they have now adopted this dirty game as a source of income. But they have not the slightest idea Pakistan is internally a ruins and its vital internal organs are bleeding. They not only lack, the required ability to push it into Afghanistan but now this war has become so heavy that they even can not slightly move it. Here goes the saying of old wisdom "what you sow, so shall you reap".Certainly our suggestions about Afghanistan solutions would enrage Pakistani rulers, because they still believe that by maintaining the current political status quo they could bring serenity to it. But the realty suggests otherwise, now the condition of a worst form of a civil war in this country is looming over its head like dark clouds. While as an atomic county, its civil war would cause the region for a long time of sleepless nights. On the other hand the Russians, Indians and the Israelis would be the first who would feel the devastating affects of this civil war. In the event of defeat of America and its allies, the morale of the Talban would touch the zenith. It would be the stupidity of the world community if it ignored the slogans of Islamic caliphate. The theocracy, under which they expel/defeat America, would compel them to expand it beyond the region, so that the thousands of, or more so, Talban and Al Qaeda warriors members (we don’t regard them two separate identity) who would not set idle and create problem there.In the event of defeat of democratic and secular forces, Islamic extremism would be the only concept which encourages them to forge ahead. They would start thinking that they had defeated Russia and then America and NATO, so why not give a try to establish Islamic Sharia in closed by Islamic countries. Relatively regarding the Central Asian countries, the less developed countries would be the first victims of their onslaught, and then in the same way the Russia and Europe, and on the other side Kashmir, and from several other ways India as well. Thirdly from the inferno of Iran , they would try to put Israel into flames. Pro Pakistan elements in Talban and other common student leaders would not allow India and Russia to increase their sphere of influences by creating chaos in these countries, in the wake of American departure. Pakistan would support their policy, just because it also helps Pakistan to save itself from Russians and Indians influences. And it also provides an opportunity to Pakistan to crush the pro independent forces there. America , because of its wounds of the defeat, would not be able to show any immediate reaction.But so far experience has proven that all Pakistani modus operandi of scheming the things and calculations are doomed to failure.Pakistan would not be able to calm down its internal anarchy, by spreading terror in Israel , India and Russia , despite keeping them away from itself.Therefore world should be waiting for another Burundi and Somalia in the shape of Pakistan with a permanent power, which could be the main reason of a war between Islam and Christianity, Jews and non-believers.In this scenario, it is a rare opportunity for the world powers, including America to save the world from the disaster of this country messes, and Pakistan itself, to rectify that historical blunder where Baloch, Sindhis and pashtuns regard themselves enslaved.Only the complete declaration of freedom of all these nations would save Pakistan and the world as well from disastrous consequences.The relative peace that followed after the demise of Soviet Union, and the balkanization of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia , is the proven fact that when the relations become strained, should be severed.Pakistan and Iran would be disheartened from their interest of weakening Afghanistan , if only the freedom of these nations returned back to them. The cooperation between Pakistan and Iran which has put the entire world in a strained situation, would receive an end. The connections of Islamic and Talban terrorism tendency would be severed and isolated, thereby it helps to rehabilitate them in a civic society. The danger of Pakistani nuclear arsenals falling into wrong hands could be circumvented. Because when all its nationalities get their freedom, the only Punjab would not need the atomic bomb anymore. And its historical enmity with India would come to an end. The Kashmir issue would receive the entire world attention and it would be resolved amicably and peacefully. Corruption in Pakistan would not pose any danger to a world community. Iran would be compelled to show flexibility to world community, when the alliance between Pakistan and Iran is broken. There too it paves the way for all nationalities to regain their freedom and basic human rights would be restored. The best advantage is that after the establishment of a common afghan (the inclusion of Pakistanis pashtuns into Afghanistan ) government, post- Pakistan pashtuns would have the ability to do their level best to control the extremist policy of Talban. Today all the pashtuns have been put into juxtaposition against each other by Pakistan. But tomorrow, if allowed, in the event of their togetherness, they would use their best capacity to establish an excellent democratic government.A Soviet Union gave birth to 15 different states. None of them shouted foul to each others and now they all enjoying their freedom and trying to establish good relationship among themselves. A one of few may have a strained relationship, but it doesn't mean that their existence is in danger. Or that their mêlée have any affect on the world peace.In our humble opinion, the day when the world powers and America identified the root cause of all evils and perceived that it is laying in the niche of unnatural division of nations and in the decision of the then British Empire, they would start seeing the problem from a different point of angle. It would help them resolve this issue, and this emancipates them from the fear of a possible war of Islam and none-believers.Otherwise, today the terrorists who sneak into Europe and carry out terror, but tomorrow they would enter into Europe with diplomatic passports and wreck havoc there.

The Motives of the Current Baloch National Movement
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
The affairs of Baloch and Balochistan have now gone out of Pakistani state control. Therefore, it has engaged itself in a vicious campaign of carnage which has surpassed every limit of atrocities against Baloch nation. But all its faulty tactics of carnage and terrorism have been rendered into failure ineffectiveness. Neither Baloch nation is intimidated nor has it left the ground empty. Rather with extreme revulsions, it has erected itself forwards in the character of a real force. Baloch national movement is so organized that it has taken aback the Baloch enemy. But for us it is hardly so, in brief, here we try to illustrate what are the dimensions and the motivation of this organized power and its strategy, which is gaining strength and momentum day by day. It is
Easy to deduce results, how this current insurgency, for many reasons, is different from the previous ones:
1- The wisdom maturity of Baloch leadership
2- The successful strategy of Guerrilla War
3- The popular support for the freedom movement
4- The firm bases of counter propaganda
5- The International moral encouragement
6- Pakistani states misdeeds and the gigantic problems
7- The demands of the new world and the importance and necessities of Baloch Homeland
With many other reasons, the above mentioned facts are what, which have pushed Pakistan into a state where it sees its equilibrium lost and the Baloch national Struggle effective.
1- The Wisdom Maturity of Baloch leadership: The wisdom maturity of the Baloch Leadership is the main reason which has earned them the complete popular support and The confidence with which they are fighting triumphantly with clear slogans, it is first time that all efforts of proving that, this is a defensive war, not a Separatist one got succeeded, whereby it achieved the highest distinction of freedom movement. The maturity of the leaderships wisdom has embarrassed Pakistani state by establishing a new trend which regards the rule of the individuals secondary, and the rule of the institutes the foremost. That is why; so far, no one knows who is leading this insurgency movement. Previously all national movements, from Shaheed Mehrab Khan down to 1977, died down, whenever the leader was arrested, killed or came into a truce with the enemy. This was the central idea behind the target killings of the Nawab Bugti and Balach khan Marri, but this time it did not work. The kalat state would be conquered, after Mehrab khan was killed. Tehran blew the trumpet of victory When Mir Dost Mohammad Khan was arrested. Similarly, the freedom movement would die down when Agha A. kareem and Nawab Nowroz Khan laid down their arms. Contrary to the previous instances, here we did not witness a slightest sluggish in the pace of the war, instead, we saw the puppets of the government eating the humble pie. Neither we saw an end to the war for the government, nor did we witness the political arena empty.
Despite of the great losses, the continuation of the struggle is the proof of the fact that current leadership, learning a lesson from the previous wars, has got rid of the grip of the individualism. Just as we had earlier mentioned, we want to reiterate again, that yes there exists a very central important role of individuals. But these individuals are effective only when they are committed with the freedom struggle.
2- The successful strategy of Guerilla War: As the leadership is very serious, therefore the activities of the guerrillas are not limited to a certain area.
Therefore it has successfully countered Pakistani propaganda that this insurgency is limited only in certain or two tribal areas for self interests. Because of this expansion, entire Balochistan was declared a sensitive area, as this war has now engulfed all cities and allies, besides the mountains. There is no doubt in it that, at the beginning when the occupying state started its gory operation, it did not know that it would meet with tough response. During the previous last four wars, the state established a network of military garrisons all around the Balochistan.
On top of it, to water down the importance and the intensity of this war of freedom, the state has lifted no stone unturned to associate it with miserable demands (provincial autonomy, to increase the privileges of chieftains) this was what which forced the Baloch to resume urban guerilla warfare, along with mountainous war, so that the oblivious world knows what is the reality.
Even though the war in mountains has always been an easy one for Baloch, and the impacts of mountainous war are highly effective, as the mountains are the places where the occupying state prospers, as they contain precious recourses. Creating Hazards in mountains is equal to putting a stoppage to the oxygen flow to the state arteries. In keeping with the current peculiar conditions, Baloch guerilla urban warfare has achieved unusual success. Although it has not erased the state writ completely, yet it has pushed it near to complete failure. At the beginning the minor state collaborators and then some high ranking officials and political agents were eliminated in direct target killing, this unusually prevented others to participate in activities against Baloch. Resultantly, this triggered a massive exodus of Punjabis and Muhajirs officers from all institutes to go back to their home provinces. Countless non-Baloch breathed a sigh of relief for the success that they got themselves transferred from Balochistan. Those who could not make it, are living a miserable life, for them each passing day is the last day of their lives. The problem with these people is that they cannot adjust themselves with Baloch national interests. And Baloch, regarding them the collaborators of the enemy, cannot allow them to live within their ranks. This urban warfare has playedthe key role in highlighting the Baloch Issue not only within Pakistan, But also world around to become a matter of debate. We have no doubts that if Baloch contained their Guerilla War within mountains, Pakistan would never have admitted that Baloch were fight with Pakistan for liberty.
At the beginning of the war, Pakistani state, from president down to a minor functionary, all were propagating that there existed no freedom movement. But now, to lighten the weight of their sins, they have now started remorsefully acknowledging the insurgency in Balochistan, and imputing Hindustan, Israel and America for funding and funning the insurgency. But the reality is that, had a country helped Baloch national movement for freedom, the entire scenario of the war would have been different altogether. Nevertheless, one can say without any vacillation that, by the outright measures of selected targets, and piercing the state?s bubbling writ, the Baloch guerillas have firmly registered it that they are advancing rapidly towards their goal.
There comes a day when, the biggest spy masters at the highest official level, who are running their businesses one way or another by making the smaller moles their scapegoats, they would not be able to continue their sinister any further more. And entire Baloch nation would turn into a whole Balochi lashker (into a defense force). As Sardar Khair Baksh Marri had rightly said that they would live a simple life during daytime, but when the dark night falls, they would attack the enemy like a thunderbolt.
Before the commandment of the Sardar Khair Baksh Marri, in an article I ha already pointed out towards the pierce tendency of Baloch nature that Baloch like wolf would prowl in solitude after his prey. Every Baloch would turn into a lashker (fighting force) and attack his enemy, whenever he gets an opportunity.
The successful guerilla actions have forced state?s all institutes to make irreversible blunders, which is evident by the increasing atrocities that the state meting out against common Baloch. Contrary to state?s expectations, it has shacked entire Baloch social life into a nation-conscious freedom movement, which was hitherto hibernating for ages. Today, what is going on? is the discussion of the day in Baloch society. The guns and the canons are disproportionately used to silence the Baloch hue and cry to reaching to world community, but today the same state is trying to know what the news, the analyses of Sarmachars (freedom fighters) and the pro independent forces say.
5- International moral encouragement: though some of our intellectual and political friends argue that Baloch national movement did not receive the encouragement as much as they deserve to from international community. To some extent their argument is true, because the Baloch national issue did not receive the required attention as compared with Kashmiri and Palestinian movement. But despite that, however, it is encouraging, as per the peculiar condition of the world politics, there is a lot of talks going on about Baloch national movement.
Until today, no big power, including America, have opposed Baloch national movement,
Instead, they have rather advised Pakistan to resolve Baloch national crisis. No matter, whatever one deduces out of this world stance about Baloch national movement, but fact of the matter is that everyone is aware of the sensitive natureof this issue.
Within a short period of time Baloch Martyrs and the Sarmachars have successfully pulled Baloch national issue from Pakistani internal matter, and presented it into international political arena. Pakistani states high officials are forced to desperately take up Baloch national issue with American and Indian high ranking officials. It does not matter whatever they say, but their impacts are far reaching for Baloch national struggle. Now it is up to the Baloch leadership, to take the advantage of this ?hard earned attention? for a better result externally and internally. All Pakistani efforts of linking Baloch national struggle with religious and terrorist organizations have been rendered to an utter failure. Despite all barbaric heinous Pakistani crimes, Baloch have never stepped outside their geography to become a part of suicidal and terror activities. They are fighting a defensive war on their own homeland. They are constantly calling upon international investigating teams to visit Balochistan to see the genuine Baloch national struggle and the terror crimes that Pakistani state committing against Baloch nation. But Pakistan does not allow even the welfare NGOs to inter into Balochistan by fabricating different excuses, let alone international investigating teams.
With the same momentum if Baloch national struggle continued, the day comes soon when the world community breaks its fasting, and the world powers start talking openly about Baloch national issues. Baloch national leadership knows well that the only thing that they need is that they should not be disappointed and continue their struggle for emancipation, depending on their own resources. Wars fought on the behest of others have proven disastrous, rather than success.
6- Pakistani state?s misdeeds and the gigantic problems: It is the misfortunate of Pakistani state that it could not avail itself from the time when it was engaged in deceiving Baloch nation. Otherwise until now, no veteran politician, except Nawab Khair Baksh Marri, would have admitted the mistakes committed in the past. Rather, with diverse arguments, they would have advised others to follow the disastrous path, where they themselves had achieved nothing.
They are the people whose shoulders were used to mount the gun to kill their own brothers. And they were the same people who were given the daggers to tear the Sha?al of Honor of their own daughters and mothers. They have sold their conscience by terming the false and fake promises of Islamabad as true. In Baloch society they have now become the symbol of abhorrence along Pakistani state. The slaying of Pervaiz Musharraf that, all Baloch Sardars are pro Pakistani state, except three chieftains, is itself a testimony that the state?s misdeeds have shown their negative effects. They have now automatically become weightless byLinking themselves with them Pakistan, on the one hand, externally and internally is in a virtual vortex. On the other, all its chessmen have increasingly becoming ineffective; the foreign policy failure and the internal instability have buried its all internal policies.
Banking system is a total mess. The extreme crisis of water and electricity shortage has turned its economy into a shamble. The intensity of the crisis of different nationalities has left Pakistan nowhere. The strained relationships with its neighboring nations and the security question of its nuclear arsenals have posed one of the biggest questions for the world community. And the sphere of influence of the state over Talban and Al Qaeda are the main concerns for international community, the above mentioned facts are some alarming realities, for which, Pakistan is constantly being attributed with, as a failed state.
In such circumstances, given its strategic position, the importance of Balochistan automatically increases. The question of Baloch national issue has become the centre of the attention. Because of Pakistan?s irresponsible behavior, the international community is rightly inclining towards a new thinking about Baloch national movement in this region, infect, not only they are fighting for theirsurvival, but also they are the true natural ally of the West and the civilized world against Islamic extremism. Today Baloch, more than any times before, in keeping with world?s requirements, and because of the right direction of their struggle, are familiar with the secret of how to topple the vanquished body of the enemy.
7- The demands of the new world and the importance and necessities of Baloch Homeland: In our many articles we have reiterated time and again that the time has proved wrong the unnatural decision of the then British Raj that regarded Balochistan as if it was their hereditary empire which they gifted it to Iran and Pakistan for some vested interests. Today Pakistan is playing a dabble game on Afghan issue, along with Iran, who?s direct support to Talban a real fact, which not only could break the back of America and its allies and inflict upon them a severe defeat, but also it has already put the entire region on a constant anxiety with its Nuclear Weapons. The excess to Baloch natural resources, and to benefit from it along with Central Asia, has become a part of the new worlds needs, which is not only an impossible task because of strained relationship Between Baloch and Pakistan, along with Iran, but also because of adamancy of Pakistan. This secular and peaceful Baloch homeland is constantly becoming a war arena and the centre for Islamic extremist forces. Today it is Baloch national movement for freedom which has erected barricades on the path of expanding Islamic Extremism, otherwise, Pakistan had established more than 1400 Madrassas in this less populated province to turn it into a Nursery ground for Al Qaeda and Talban.
Similarly, Baloch national movement for freedom has made it difficult, if not impossible, for Pakistan to interfere in Afghanistan affairs. But it doesn?t mean that when it gets failed in Afghanistan then it stops it intrigues there.
Therefore, to get rid of it forever, it is imperative to first resolve the problems of nationalities on the bases of justice.
The mistake that, the then British Empire and the world powers committed during their times, should be rectified. The Baloch and Pashtun separate homelands which were arbitrarily divided, should be salvaged, and be given the right to live an independent life, otherwise, Baloch is geared up to fight any conspiracy that directed towards them. As far as the matter is concerned to Pashtun nation, Pakistan has assigned them with different bunkers on the both sides of the border and pitted them against each other in a bloody war. And this region has become a valley of death and destruction which has constantly created difficulties for entire world community.
Given the intensity in Baloch national struggle and the apprehension of the world community about this region, Baloch is well aware of it that if they failed this time to restore their sovereignty over their home land, history will not allow them again another opportunity. This is an appropriate opportunity for them to avail. No matter whatever the colonial power and its puppets say against such logic, it is nothing more than a hobgoblin act to detract the attention of the Baloch public and the pro independent leadership. The last word: these are the basic facts and the awareness that has spurred the geographic expansion and intensity of the Baloch national movement. It does not mean that by highlighting the positive aspects of the Baloch national movement, that there exists no weakness. After a thorough analyses of all aspects of the successes, failures, weaknesses, bad and good, we can say with confidence, that despite the difficulties and flaws, the steps that have been taken, are moving towards right directions. We must take the notice of the dark sides and control them, but we should not devalue the successes that have been achieved so far by offering countless sacrifices. Today the leadership of the freedom movement, and their Sarmachars, their struggle, their intellectuals, their Students and their conscious Daughters, are politically far more pragmatic than ever before. As far as the mistakes are concerned during the struggle, they reoccur time and again until the process is continued. The thing that Baloch need to paid attention the most, is that, like every nation, liberty is their right. Today the conditions are far more conducive than ever before and the leadership has chosen the right time in accordance with the demands of the world community.

The Pragmatic Beginning of Freedom Movement in Iranian Occupied Balochistan
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Se hela bilden Regarding the resistance movement in Western Balochistan, the tomorrows historian would records the statement of Rauf Rigi, the spokesman of the BPRM Baloch People Resistance Movement as a milestone, in which he said that it is not a religious war between Shiite and Sunni but a war to free Balochistan from Iranian occupation?. Although, in the month of June, 2009, Jundullah, perceiving the slavery of Baloch nation, redrawn the attention towards a new strategy and policy, and gave first priority to the issue related to national emancipation, and determined the ways of national struggle. They changed the name of the organization from an orthodox religious extremist group into a nationalist party and adopted the name of Baloch Peoples Resistance Movement. The founder of the organization, Malik Rigi, during last days of his life, declared the Baloch issue as the fundamental subject of his organization in his several statements.
Besides him, party spokesperson time and again has openly talked about the importance and sensitiveness of the national issue. This was the main reason that infuriated the fanatic Iranian mullahs and the Pakistani Baloch killers. Because they knew that if they killed all Baloch in the name of religious extremism, world would pay no heed to it, but on national issue, the killing of them would not be an easy task. And In the name of the religion they could easily link them with the Al Qaeda and Talban. But those who raise the question of national issue would be hard to associate with them.Now more than one year has gone by, since this organization has changed its name and program, but still some of our friends unconsciously and purposely, in the target of the enemy?s flooding propaganda, addressing this Pure Balochi organization with the religious name which is not liked in the world community because of its religious fanatic impression. The arrest of Malik Rigi and the main reason behind his swift execution was that he identified his enemy and friends, and perceived the adoption of bad and good policies for his national struggle. It was the adoption of the right path of this organization which corroborated Baba Marri?s encrypted words on the stone, in which he had said that ?Guerrilla war itself is an education, which not only distinguish between good and bad, but also help to identify the approved and disapproved policies?. In an analysis once I had said that given the Iran’s peculiar conditions, the religion slogan with which Malik Rigi initiated his struggle are disapproved of, however, they have proven highly effective. However, it goes without saying that the issue of different nationalities in Iran is in the top of the list. The differences among different nationalities in Iran are so sharp that, it is even beyond the imagination of the people of its neighbouring Pakistan, let alone the civilized world.When a mosque was demolished in India, Entire Pakistan rose up against it along with its rulers; in the reaction the Hindus minorities became the victim of it. Their Houses, temples, shops all were put on fire, including the loots and plunders of the Hidus people belongings. But how the fanatic Iranian regime in Islamic Iran demolished a 800 years old Faiz Mosque in 2003 in the glamorous city of Mashhad and park was established in place of it? Yet a single news bit did not appear into Pakistani media about it. In 1986 in a small village, called Negower of the occupied Balochistan, a Madrasa was demolished by Iranian armed forces, people outrageously protested it, and then a fierce battle took place between the Revolutionary Guards and the local people. The Iranian forces were temporarily defeated, and they retreated, but then all and sundry were arrested along with priests. Until today no one could rebuild that Madrasa there. When the Revolutionary Guards got the wind of the news that the people of Gwernaag are building a new Masque, like wild rampant elephants, the Iranian forces turned the entire village into a ruin, the bulldozers demolished the houses of the people along with Masque and the Madrasas.
And People were forced to take refuge in the neighbouring areas. In Zabul, the sunni Madrasa Amam Abu Haneefa was bulldozed to the earth level. Recently another Sunni Masque has been demolished in Zabul. After the bombs explosions in Zahedan, the biggest Masque in Zahedan, called Makki Masque, was rampaged by Revolutionary Guards breaking the furniture’s, windows and burning the books. All posters related to Caliphate Omar’s name were spitted and trampled over. A country which claims to be Islamic, its constitution says that Shiite Islam is the official Religion in Iran, and it stipulates that the head of the Iranian state shall be a Shiite. It means that no matter how efficient and competent a Sunni might be; he still can’t make it to a high position as per the Iranian law. Whatever the Iranian state controlled media, radio, TV, say about Sunnis and other Minorities are totally baseless. Religious freedom in Iran is so much valued as the paper legal status of the legislators of Pakistani occupied Balochistan, who have passed several hundred revolutions, yet they could not pressed even a single resolution to be implemented into law. It is just as true as Pakistan’s tall claim that there exists democracy in Balochistan; That Baloch has their own representatives in the parliament, that they have their own governor, etc. But in Balochistan being a Baloch, it is important to determine how much cajoling is required to be selected for making your way to Islamabad. There too (In Iran) the Mullas and Masques are secured provided they acknowledge Tehran’s sovereignty and regard the slavery of the Baloch people a divine decision. On the other hand, when a Baloch assert himself as the son of the soil of his homeland and strive to reserve his history, language and culture, would be condemned to death along with his Masques and Mullas. Remaining silent in a country, where religious rights are violated and its values are humiliated and not talking about religious rights and not associating it with comprehensive national rights (freedom) does not seem to be a work of wisdom. Similarly, giving no priority to national struggle for freedom in the fight of religious rights is a fatal stupidity. Because, Even though Baloch became Muslim 15 hundred years back, yet it has a historical identity as a Baloch, which is more than 5000 years old.
As for as the clear and direct slogans are concerned for national freedom of the Baloch people in Iran, we think the fundamental reason is that, all nationalities in Iran have been suppressed to such an extent that psychologically they all have accepted a national death. The Kurdish national movement, perhaps, would have remained at the same lowest level as it is the today Baloch national movements standing, had the Iraqi and Turkish Kurd not been so active.
As for as the question of intensity in the Baloch national war and the lack of national conscience is concerned, the constant state sponsored barbaric atrocities and suppression have played a fundamental rule in it. And the second reason is that the national struggle for freedom in Pakistani occupied Balochistan has always been uneven. The Western Balochistan, According to prominent America scholar Selig S. Harrison, always looks towards Pakistani occupied Balochistan for leadership. And because of the vacillations of Baloch leadership on the other side, a step forward and two steps backward, neither they could do something themselves, nor they left others to shoulder them. But nonetheless, the thing that is considered to be positive is that the freedom slogan in Pakistani occupied Balochistan has never died down. Though it could not advance any sort of big change, but it never allowed the ambers of the slogan for freedom against the slavery to die down which have now turned into a big fire and it has engulfed entire colonial states on the both sides of the arbitrary borders of Baloch homeland. The national question in Western Balochistan is rising with such intensity where we can?t draw parallel looking back towards the history. The occupying forces, simultaneous terror and genocides of Baloch nation in both Western and Eastern Balochistan have catapulted the demand of freedom to the highest summit, where the demand of religious freedom and provincial autonomy seems to be dwarf. The forces who initially were working for maximum rights and provincial autonomy for Baloch people in Iran have now learned that it is suicidal to make such demand within Iranian domain, which is gradually trying to assimilate us into Persian color. The very existence of Baloch is depending in the fact that they have a free sovereign state. The Baloch Peoples Resistance Movement (BPRM) too considered the religious contradiction a part of the national deprivation, and attributed it to national struggle which is, in any sense, a positive step. But the thing that is needed to be pressed here is that the recent statement that has been issued by Rauf Rigi should be acted upon and it should be the agenda upon which the policies should be explained. Instead of fighting for some privileges or some power sharing subjects within Iranian federation, they should fight for outright freedom from Iran. And this organization should also recognize the right to freedom of other nationalities in Iran. It also expects from others that they support Baloch national movement for freedom. Gone are the days of the vague slogans and the useless demands. Because Baloch nation has been pushed too deep into backwardness, their very existence is at stake right now. Therefore, it is imperative upon BPRM to concentrate on the demand of the freedom. There is no dearth of people who want to stabilize Iranian and Pakistani federations respectively, but there is no one other than the Baloch to preserve its own existence.

Why Yes to Freedom no to Referendum!?
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
For a long time I have been writing about different aspects of the solution of Bloch crisis, particularly on three options: provincial autonomy, right to self-determination and liberty: Which option is suitable and feasible for Baloch?
Once again it has become a subject of a heated debate when a landmark resolution was submitted
in American Congress advocating right to self determination for Baloch nation and a separate homeland of their own. This was unanimously welcomed by all, the pro freedom forces, the advocates of the right to self determination, and of course, the ones who talk of provincial autonomy.
The right to self determination has ignited a massive fire of debate in Balochistan. Several friends of mine have asked me a lot of questions through email regarding the current situation. Therefore, in this concise debate we would try to answer the questions raised by our friends.
First, the question: why it is that the right to self determination is practicable for South Sudan, Erithrea and East Timore and not feasible for Balochistan? And why Baba Marri and his followers are opposing that way of achieving the freedom? And why the freedom seekers are not opposing the demand of right to self determination made by American Congressmen and within their own circle isn’t it their own demand?
Nevertheless, before attempting to answer the above raised questions, let us examine the process of achieving the freedom, and the brief history of the three countries we mentioned earlier so that we grasp this debate with our best understanding. The referendum in South Sudan and its freedom: South Sudan freedom war was started in 1955 one year before that of united Sudan in 1956; later on it turned into an ugly form of civil war. During seventeen years, since its beginning till 1972 more than twenty hundred thousand were killed and 40 hundred thousand were forced to flee their homes and sought refuge in safe places. Even though, the intensity of war lessened to a considerable extent after an agreement. But the internal tussle and the skirmishes met to an end when Kenyan agreement took place in 2005. According to that agreement South Sudan was granted internal self governing status. But this experience did not last long when South Sudan leader, John Gerund was killed in an accident. After that South Sudan reached to the point of no return and pressed for its outright freedom. On January 9-15, 2011 under United Nations’ auspice a referendum was held, the overwhelming majority of South Sudan people opted for freedom and thus a new country emerged on the world map. Referendum and Freedom in Erithiria” the history of independent of this country has a close similarity with that of South Sudan. After Second World War it slipped out of Italian hands and under the auspices of United Nations mandate, Ethiopia and United Kingdom Managed its affairs. Later on in 1951 under UN resolution 390 (v) its independent was recognized. Erithreans started their freedom war right after nine months, which continued for almost thirty years till 1991. In 1993 a referendum was held under the auspices of United Nations mandate. The overwhelming majority of that country voted for freedom and they succeeded in achieving their lost freedom. It cost them more than one hundred thousand people during thirty years of war.
The referendum and freedom in East Timore: this country achieved its freedom on 28th November 1975 from Portugali occupation. But after nine days the Indonesian army invaded that small country and annexed it and declared it as its 27th province against the will of its people. The war for freedom started the movement it was occupied. it lasted for 27 years, more than one hundred thounsands people lost their lives in this war. The equal number of people became shelterless, sought asylum in neighboring areas. It is noteworthy to mention here that in the proportion of six hundred thousand populations, that much loss of lives is a great number. It is also noteworthy to mention that big forces, like America and Australia were allied with Indonelsia. But Timori passion for freedom proved that no nation can be stopped from regaining its freedom by numerical superiority or opposition of big powers. After tremendous sacrifices and under intense pressure from United Nations, a referendum was held in which 78% votes casted in favor of independent. Indonesia failed to acknowledge that result. Therefore, it started a wave of barbaric atrocities and the civil war once again engulfed this tiny nation, it was truly meant to commit mass murder; UN was forced to send its forces to prevent that genocide.
On May 20th, 2002 a new country emerged on the surface of world map as the result of 27 years war. Now let us treat the real issue of right to self determination through which the above mentioned countries regained their lost freedom, but the pro freedom political parties on the platform of Baloch National Front and other advocates of freedom oppose the idea of plebiscite. According to Waja Brahamdagh Bugti, the great Nawab Bugti, during closing years of his life, after going through a life time experience with Pakistani politics, had concluded and advised his political colleagues and the Baloch nation particularly, that they should not have and political relationship with Pakistani state. And that the mistakes, that they committed by joining its polity, must not be repeated for the sake of next generation. Now whatever you can do; should be only directed to get rid of this state. Shaheed Balaach Marri, Shaheed Gulam Mohammad and the beacon of freedom Saba Dashtiyari had a clear vision in this regard, and always held that the right to self determination slogan is a counter revolutionary or counter freedom movement tactics. And this is the main subject of our argument. The insistence on referendum within Pakistan is not a viable option and is harmful for Baloch nation for some important reasons.
Firstly, because of the basic differences of conditions that exists between Balochistan and the above mentioned countries that they gained their freedom under the current law of United Nations. All the above mentioned countries immediately revolted against the slavery, the moment they were occupied and they continued resistance with extreme intensity; and it prevented the colonial states from dividing their lands into pieces and the resistance also prevented them from bringing any change into their indigenous demography. In the end, that could have been dangerously used against them during the census process. On the other side, the arbitrary division of Baloch land is continuously being carried by colonial forces with morbid schemes against the will of Baloch nation since 1839. Under this scheme, they infused foreigners into Baloch population in order to break the Baloch unity. And similarly they succeeded in integrating them –Baloch - into other sphere of different nationalities. This has caused Baloch leadership to be parasital, despite the fact they’re in Majority in the current so called province assembly of Balochistan. For instance Pakistan carries out nuclear tests in Balochistan; and they oppose it by merely issuing a statement thereby with futile attempts of exonerating themselves of the responsibility. In another instance; at the helplessness of the current provincial government! During four years period, in a democratic government, the chief of Sarawan, the chief of Jalawan, Khan of Kalat, and almost entire family along with Nawab Magsi utterly unable to break the lock of the coffin of Shaheed Nawab Bugti and conduct a DNA test. It is not hard to imagine how snobbish these big people get when offered luxurious comfort and allowed to make their way into a so called toothless parliament; and in return they never hesitate to submit their Balochiite to Islamabad’s whim! It is not a big deal to guess the level of sycophancy of bureaucrats in such a province which is always inclined to seeking the gratification of Islamabad.
Currently how many non Baloch have registered and obtained identity cards from area of Baloch belt of Balochistan during and after house and population census process? is the biggest question! And yet no power has the mechanism how to separate them or exclude them from general population or voter lists. And neither any one has dared to discuss this sensitive issue. But tomorrow these people would have the right to determine the fate of Baloch nation.
Dera Gazi khan, Rajenpur and Khan Garh have since long ago been cut off from Balochistan in the name of administrative impetus. Politics of Baloch nationalism is equal to non existence there. There is hardly any nationalist among ten millions populations to win a seat there. It means the enemy has never allowed you to work there. And the enemy has succeeded in convincing them that their interests were best protected with Sindh and Punjab. This is the reason they’ve affiliated themselves with big parties in Sindh and Punjab since long. Those friends who talk confidently about plebiscite on behalf of them are highly honest and sincere people expressing their goodwill for them. But the fact must be kept in mind that it has always been the Baloch sincerity and the enemy’s colouful tricks that has wounded Baloch the most in the history.
Now being mindful of the longitude of the subject, let us say in concise that today Balochistan is burning, but, barring Karachi, even a feeble voice cannot be heard from these areas controlled by Sindh and Punjab. It must not be deduced from this last sentence of ours that we doubt those Baloch’s affection for Balochistan. Rather, I would say the enemy has successfully attached their Interests with other provinces; which is a part of a greater conspiracy to alienate us from each Other. Both Iran and Pakistan have exploited the wrong policies of our leadership - a step forward and two steps back – they have divided the nation into different groups and dissected their land into pieces with a continuous policy. It has proven as a deadly poison for Baloch and a unique gift for enemy whenever Baloch compromised their stance after every resistance war and agreed to pseudo power sharing. However, the case of South Sudan, Erithrea and East Timore is totally different. In those countries the colonial states had no chance of such conspiracy which could have been used negatively against such new states in the event of a referendum.
Another important reason why referendum is unacceptable to Baloch is that it deforms the very crucial case that has provided Baloch struggle for freedom a solid foundation. It is common sense, as we all know; every building is built on solid foundation. And Baloch case is based on the fact that Balochland has been forcibly occupied. And it has nothing in common with Pakistani state, be it history, culture, civilization or language! By the virtue of tremendous sacrifices the world has now started understanding the reality. The world knows that relationship between Baloch and Pakistan if ever exists, is based on the equation of oppressor and oppressed one.
Baloch nation, right from beginning opposed the forceful incorporation of their country with Pakistan and is constantly struggling to get rid of it.
Now the question is that when you yourself say that it is an occupier, than how come you become so kind by agreeing with it as a partner in the ownership of Baloch land? Here it is noteworthy to mention that there’re two types of political circles who talk about referendum and right to self determination regarding Baloch future: the first circle talks about referendum and right to self determination only when it wants to test the level of Pakistan’s honesty. And this circle believes that mere the mention of participating in Pakistani elections is a betrayal to Baloch cause and it is regarded as a biggest political sin!
And second group of political circle about which we want to talk about is that, of course, it demands referendum and right self determination, but it believes in this country’s institutions and participate in its selection like elections. I think we should better avoid focusing all our time on such demands which are nothing more than a stunt show.
Why Dana Rohrabacher’s demand of Right to self determination is supported? Some of our friends make their safe escape from harsh question through twisted debates. They seriously put question on our stance, that why we don’t support their slogan of right to self determination that has also been made by an American legislator; while we were already demanding freedom? Apparently this question forces us to think deeply, but a little effort helps us to apprehend its superficiality; the reason is that there is a huge difference between the demand of right to self determination done by Waja Dana Rohrabacher and the demand that is being pursue by those who are engaged in Pakistani politics. Rohrabacher’s demand of right to self determination and freedom means the establishment of a separate independent Baloch state which is the literal interpretation of exact demand of those pro freedom parties and leaders who are seeking liberation from Pakistani and Iranian occupation.
These critiques have always avoided mentioning or demanding outright liberation from occupation. But whenever they’re pressed for answer to this question, they say, “You give us the right to self determination, and let the public to determine what they want”. There is no doubt; Baloch public is the ultimate decision maker. It is imperative upon all national parties (as they claim to be) to create public awareness and should clearly state their stance so that the public understands the situation and update themselves about your policies.
In one of my previous article we had said that these people never get tired of knocking every door for vote in local and other elections ten times, exalting themselves and picking holes in others’ performance. But when it comes to the question of forming a national state or a country, they refer it to common man. The question is that if your public is fully educated or conscious / aware of everything then you need not to go to them for vote or make them aware of your program. Let the contesting people be judged by their own people as the live among them. But they cannot do this, because they know deep in their heart that their ignorance can be a cause of their defeat. By this conduct they can be judged how much serious they are about liberty. They’re the people who call the pro freedom forces with different title of reactionaries, emotionalists and spoilers of cozy environment of election campaigns. Now what should we deduce from it and under which context they’re presenting the right to self determination? This attitude is a reflection of a deception aimed to cool down the high tempo of the freedom movement. Our friends know well that in the Pakistani parliament they cannot plead the cause of Baloch freedom. In the context of the bitter experiences of the past, there is no such an instance that could be cited an example of getting rid of the disgracefulness either. Till today, it was only Balach Marri who went to Pakistani parliament and then came back to his masses and rejected the Pakistani parliamentary politics for good in a graceful manner. But others once went there, did not come back! And those who resigned from parliament under certain compulsions, intended with a bargain in the mind to win a good result in the next election using their resignation as a moral values. Principally there are three basic differences between the Rohrabachar’s right to self determination demand and the locally perceived self determination. That is why every pro independent activist is supporting the former. the reason is: Waja Rohrabachar is only recommending the right to self determination for Baloch nation in the sence of establishing a separate state. And after all it is our own demand. But, on the other hand, we are demanding it. Nevertheless, at this stage, Rohrabachor’s resolution is limited only to highlighting the Baloch cause. And bear it in mind that no genuine pro independent activist cannot oppose such a process that can be beneficial to Baloch cause that can reverberate it in powerful assemblies of world community. Baloch understands this fact too that when the world fully gets ready to discuss Baloch crisis and takes steps resolving it. Then they start formal talks with real stakeholders and on his demand formal talks get started. Then the pro freedom forces would decisively put forward their demands. At that time no one will be able to critise him for forwarding his demand - the unconditional withdrawal of Pakistanis forces - depite the fact that Mr Rohrabachor had demanded referendum for resolving this crisis. On this stage you would have the comfortable advantage of thanking them for the attention and saying that we are approving that part of his demand which admits that Baloch land has been divided into different parts and Baloch subjected as slave’s agaist their will. And that we approve his demand that we have the right to have our own independent state, but the question of referendum with Pakistan is unacceptable because neither Pakistan is a partner of our sovereignty nor there is any mechanism of meeting our above mentions reservations. But on the other way around, when you as a Baloch formally demand referendum, then you will have to stick with it; and this does not serve your purpose!

A short discussion on a few nuisances but necessary questions about Baloch national freedom struggle
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
To make the Baloch national struggle unsuccessful its opponents are using helicopters, tanks, chemical bombs, jets and provoking propagandas against it trying to show the Baloch national struggle’s image ineffective and insufficient. The symbols of such people are they raise one or two or sometimes many questions in different occasions trying to bring up the topic so that they could simultaneously show their sympathy for the Baloch nation and present these facts as meaningless, in the end they sigh expressing victory is hard to achieve till Baloch nation lacks unity. Whereas everyone is aware of the necessity of greater unity in any nation for its national freedom struggle, this particular specialty (unity) offers it national freedom from its (the nation’s) separatist ideology. As such people mean to spread disappointment, they appear sympathetically and attack like a snake in the sleeves.
The questions are as follows:
1. Lack of unity in Baloch.
2. There was a time these pro-independents were in power they failed to achieve any development.
3. After achieving its freedom, Baloch shall become a victim of civil war.
4. Once a free country Balochistan shall be occupied by the US and the West.
5. The majority in Balochistan are not pro-independence.
6. With starting the armed struggle Baloch has lost support among other pro-development powers in Pakistan.
7. Lack of leadership among Baloch.
8. Lack of any major body on the surface.
9. First priority education and development, the freedom issue be discussed later on.
10. ‘Provincial autonomy’ and ‘right of self- determination’ prior to any demand of freedom.
1.The reality of unity or disunity among Baloch:
As far as the question of unity in Balochistan is concerned, every religion in this world including Islam, Christianity, Hinduism etc. lack unity. There are many sects in every religion but no one states to pause all religious practices till they are united. Most of them believe in one god and one messenger then what is the reason of the mosques, interpretations etc. being separate and sometimes they would not hesitate to call each other infidels.No nation or country in this world agree on a single thought among itself (except its freedom).Second point is that if Baloch is not united it does not certify Pakistan and Iran to come across the border (Balochistan) in order to punish the Baloch on their disunity.No power in the world can interfere in any country’s or nation’s internal affairs and recommend its slavery. Baloch nation is a believer of one religion. There are nations in the world who believe in two or more religions but no one punishes .them for this disunity so why shall Baloch not be let to demand its freedom just because of its disunity.In current situation, Baloch is much united than the other nations in the neighborhood. If Baloch would not be a victim of terrorism and state conspiracies it would have been called the most organized and clear aim keeping nation. Question arises if Baloch nation lacks unity then why is the government locking up thousands of Balochs in jail and selectively kill others? Despite of this barbarism, the pro-independence are increasing in a massive amount of number whereas on the other hand government has unlocked the doors of its treasure to employ people against them but still no one is there to defend their (government) stand. People who are involved in the government and at some point are the pet animals of them, confess that Balochistan has suffered from center’s oppression. In hidden they support the military operation and all this violence is according to their will but due to the fear of public opinion they oppose their own acts. This means the pro-independents are very united convincing the entire society to speak in their favor whereas the people in power feel their selves alone and in fear.The leaders of such government representative groups cannot paste their posters without getting paid. If a number of 8000 people relating them are jailed or disappeared so the idea of struggle is far from thoughts they would not even be able to give any statements. Despite being killed and disappeared in thousands the pro-independents stand like a dead end in front of the people in power driving off their sleep.The fact cannot be denied these pro-parliaments joining pro-independence could strength their power. Similarly one cannot deny the fact of current Baloch national struggle making the stand of these pro-parliaments very ineffective. Today they are hiding behind the enemy and are involved in all the disgusting conspiracies but still they do not succeed in the state. Pro-parliaments are the only power left with the government which are being used to break the strong unity among Baloch. But situation in Balochistan show these educated “Bangaan” cannot harm the unity of the pro-independents. The strength of unity and the will of sacrifices among these pro-independence is on an undefeatable level. Such people cannot be bought nor be threatened resulting in their killing and disappearance. If these people were on sale the government would price them rather killing them.Those people (specially Baloch) who point out the lack of unity or unanimity in Baloch should just join those elements which are involved directly, in one way or another, playing active role in the struggle. They should not order for unity by standing on a distance in fact they should join this struggle which has let Islamabad get fed up after using its entire force.As far as enemies and non Baloch claim the need of unity and unanimity in Baloch, it is meaningless. If Baloch nation halt its freedom movement for National Party, Jamhoori Watan Party, BNP Mengal and stand on the agenda of achieving complete unity and then raising the freedom slogan, then another demand shall pop up I.e. Israr Baloch, Jan Jamali, Nawab Magsi and Jaam Yousuf are Baloch too therefore till they don’t join us we shall not work on the freedom movement. Sometimes these people come to a point saying if Baloch nation is united then why it did not succeed yet. A very nice question though and the answer is simple too, Baloch nation did not succeed yet because people like them are still out of this struggle, the day these people reject demanding and join the field all doors to success shall open to Baloch. These people stay lazy and demand the pro-independents for good so that they could easily start earning or if this struggle is disturbing their business. These people are well educated hypocrites because they know it very well freedom struggles may take centuries to accomplish their aim so such people try to show the delay in independence as a failure in other words they represent the enemy.Such gentlemen rather than making such demands to the pro-independence, better state in clear words that they are never a part of any independence movement, their paths and goals are separate.
2.The question of pro-independence once being in power:
Baloch intellectuals and politicians have discussed and expressed their views in all the above mentioned points. In answer to the question ‘once they (pro-independence) were in power so why didn’t they develop the province?’ Some friends reply Baloch nationalist had a very small and limited period of time in power, this is the answer to the question by those nationalists leaders themselves, hence they never gave up obedience!Here an interesting fact is whenever Islamabad or Pakistanis ask this question they mean Sardar Ataullah Mengal, Nawab Akbar Bugti, Jaam Yousuf and Jaan Jamali come in the same category Baloch whereas Baloch never count them the same. It is a bitter truth that Jaan Jamali and Jaam Yousuf are Baloch and Islamabad usually represents them as Baloch advocates but ordinary Baloch resembles them as rubber shoe that fit in any ruler foot coming in power in Islamabad.
People living in other parts of Pakistan or the world who are interested in this country’s politics are having misunderstandings about Baloch and Balochistan issue due to these misguiding propagandas. Whereas if these people just come to know a single reality they would never ask this question I.e. in Balochistan there is no election but selection. Time has come Baloch leadership should confess that any Baloch leader came in power, in a way or another, had the willingness of the agencies or these agencies in order to change the faces for a short period in helplessness did tolerate people like Nawab Akbar Bugti and Attaullah Mengal in power. Later on only those people were selected who were desperate to serve the interests of Islamabad and not Baloch nation. They were Baloch by descent but were the bought servants of Islamabad. One can easily figure out that such cheap priced people were always kept in power so that whenever ordinary Baloch complaint the state had kept them back warded, they were signaled to question their own representatives, who were appointed by the will of Islamabad. These so-called representatives think the real power is not public but the intelligence agencies. As the aim of such people is coming in power, they are convinced to do anything. At some point they quietly stare like spectators in the massacre of Baloch people under the will of Islamabad.If doubt, anyone giving a close analysis to the statements of Jaam Yousuf and Nawab Raisani regarding the current barbarism in Balochistan and on the other hand killings and genocide of Baloch, could easily come to the conclusion if Nawab Raisani speak against the ongoing barbarism in Balochistan he would not remain on CM’s seat for a single day more. In short, in Balochistan to be in power one has to sign an agreement in advance stating to be a ‘Pakistani’ and not a ‘Baloch’. Now this taunt is not applicable to Baloch because that particular person had willingly approved to be a Pakistani. There is a quote of Nawab Khair Baksh Marri regarding such people; ‘Those who change their nation (Baloch) are actually abusing their selves as bastards”.With regret one has to confess that all had abused their selves but some people have understood their mistake of willingly adopting an artificial nation being a Pakistani and giving up their thousands of year old history and ancestor identity, and have aimed avoiding such mistakes again. But some others are still tolerating the same abuse for a few privileges and a few other Baloch gentlemen are bearing the updated version of this abuse called parliamentary politics in which they are standing restlessly in queue to take their oath.
- Once independent, the possibilities of civil war:
The enemies of Baloch consciously spread such kind of rumors that once having a free country, Baloch shall fight among themselves and the tribes shall not tolerate each other. To make these people understand in short, Baloch is not the only nation in the world which is divided in tribes. Entire Africa and all the Arab countries are divided in tribes and many bloody battles have taken place among these tribes but these countries are present as independent countries in the map of the world. So just because of consisting tribal system what is the cause of keeping Baloch slave and the masters themselves be the decision makers.More importantly, today Baloch nation is struggling for its national identity. In such debating about tribal clashes and battles is meaningless. Suppose if these enemy rumors turn out true that Baloch would fight among themselves (there is no such possibilities) it would not affect those objectives Baloch is fighting for today. A tribe or any group could come to an end but the status of national identity remains stable. In a tribal battle none of their language, history, literature and culture is at risk because the winner and the loser share these equally. Whereas today Baloch living with Iran and Pakistan has its everything on risk. A necessary point to be noted here, give us liberty and then tribes are our internal issues. Punjabis and Persians cannot prevent Balochs from demanding freedom giving an excuse if Balochs are let alone they shall fight among themselves. There is no big joke and shameful propaganda in the world other than this. Who were behind preventing us from fighting each other when Pakistan did not came into being and we were not a part of Afghanistan and Iran. In Pakistan or Iran, till the date we have some tribal enmities, none of these countries ever brought it to an end but surely it did hug a tribe in order to provoke the trend of demolishing the other tribe.
4. Once a free country Balochistan shall be occupied by bigger powers:
All those who claim that Balochistan shall be occupied by the US and the West, should realize whether they their selves are not US’ slaves. Leaving behind other points, Today Shamsi Airbase in Balochistan is in US control from which drone attacks are carried out almost every other day shouldering the funeral of Pakistan’s so-called pride of sovereignty. Whether drone attacks are fair or not, it is a different issue. We are discussing Pakistan’s sense of honor, that a country’s parliament opposes drone attacks in a joint session. Drone planes taking off from Pakistan itself and keep attacking the very same country, from what angle is Pakistan able to caution other nations that in her absence the US shall occupy and violate the particular nation’s sovereignty.Balochistan gets 2 to 5% of its own resources from Pakistan, now how could such a country claim that in her absence any other country shall occupy and exploit their resources?Spending 82 years in Iran and 62 years in Pakistan, where no single Balochi language school is available and no history about Baloch or Balochistan is taught, cannot claim to be the safeguards of Baloch identity, history and culture. In this regard, once veteran Baloch leader Hayrbyar Marri in answer to a question of a journalist, very impressively said that Pakistan itself is US’ slave and we are slaves of the slaves and according to them (Pakistan’s advocate) if we become US’ slave so the deal is good enough because we would directly be slaves of the master whose slave on the other hand is Pakistan. Despite the US occupation in Iraq a few days ago when tenders of oil companies were being distributed, most of the tenders fell in favor of Russian and Norwegian companies. This means despite having complete control in Iraq, unlike the occupants of Balochistan, US is not unjust. Balochistan is viewed as ancestors’ treasure by Pakistan and Iran where they plan projects and never keep in mind Baloch interests. Baloch national identity is at risk and its coasts and resources are being indiscriminately looted by Pakistan and Iran. Therefore, there is no reason for them to show fake sympathy by worrying about Baloch future.
5. The question of pro-independence being in majority in Balochistan:
This particular question between the master and the slave is as old as the history of the relation itself. None of the occupant states in the world have ever confessed the fact that the majority people of its colony were against the state. In case of being extremely fed-up, in order to brutally silent the voices against the state it threatened, bought or even sometimes directly killed the people.It is a historical fact pro-independents were always treated worse no matter the demander was an individual or a nation. Other than the disintegration of Soviet Union, all other (slave) nations had to give numerous sacrifices in achieving their independence. Ideal democratic countries like Italy, Spain, Britain and France too did not willingly set free their colonies. When freedom struggle raised in Africa, Latin America and Asia against these countries, till the end time the official statements stated that majority of these countries support the kingdom of the occupants and just a handful people were raising the slogan of freedom. All these countries set free their colonies only when they were not able to keep their position in their colonies.People in Pakistan might remember the time of the military operations being carried out against Bengalis and the statements being issued stating only a handful of Bengalis were traitors. Today exactly the same words being used about Balochs should not amaze anyone. We have mentioned many
times about the pro-independence being in majority and their influence. Government officials can only keep their selves in darkness by rejecting this fact and they cannot effect the influence of the pro-independence.In reality, to judge the success level of the pro-independence, suppose the government honestly keeping in mind the principles of democracy (which is out of expectations) halt the crack-down process against them allowing them freely carry out their protests, the intensity of public heat would take over the so-called cabinet including the left over wastes of Islamabad in Quetta.If the government is so sure about the pro-independence not being in majority, it should stop killing and kidnapping political activists the world know the reality.
6. The armed struggle being the cause of Baloch losing support among other pro-development powers in Pakistan:
The national decisions are made by the nation itself. Whenever other masses sense their interest in any nation’s struggle, they end supporting the cause. It may be any kind of struggle and the supporters may vary too. In Baloch case, all those who see Baloch national struggle as a pure national freedom struggle and sense its secularism, free from religious craze and caste system, are looking forward to see Balochistan as an ideal democratic country and support it. In such there is no power restricting the other masses in Pakistan to support Baloch national struggle. If Baloch national struggle is viewed from a typical certain view in which Baloch is not allowed to demand freedom, Baloch will definitely not accept the picture tried to be shown. To obstacle or reduce the motion of any struggle many conspiracies or excuses can be planed. Fighting the fifth war, Baloch is well aware to be the only resisting power.Leaving aside the zero support of ordinary democratic parties in Pakistan, Human Rights organizations often try to express their sorrow and vocally condemn the ongoing human rights violation and barbarism against the Baloch from the past 62 years but as the question of Baloch freedom pop up they suddenly turn into typical Pakistanis and try to fool the Baloch by presenting fresh thought of dialogue.
They advice to forget all the violation done by Pakistani rulers in the constitution about nationalisms, the dissolving of assemblies and the broken promises, they still cannot guarantee the fulfilment of the fresh promises unlike the old ones. These acts force them to be viewed as
Killer of humanity (in Baloch eye) rather than defenders of humanity, Islamabad could not stop the raising of entire Punjab for a Chief Justice where on the other hand despite thousands of mothers being in sorrow for their children in Balochistan, Punjab and other provinces demand Balochistan to convince them (the other provinces) so that they could come along. In a state of war where dead bodies are being carried out in shoulders, Baloch has no time to knock the doors of the pro-parliaments and pro-Pakistani units making useless debates urging them to get along. Whoever wants to support needs no urge. Those who do not want to support make excuse like ‘education first, then independence’ or ‘unity first, then struggle’ etc. A bitter fact in this debate is that most of the so-called Pakistan’s religious units are victim of worse chauvinism, these brutal killings fail to gain attention in the eyes of the religious people. In such they forget the verses of holy Quran which state: “He who killed a person is the killer of entire humanity”.The participation of the governments of these religious people in Balochistan which is backing the massacre of Baloch nation is shameful. Similarly the recommenders of democracy in Pakistan can be compared by the helper who throw the rope for a drowning person saying if you make it successfully, promise to obey me the entire life!The fact of all Pakistani ranks, organizations and even judiciaries being quite in the ongoing barbarism against Balochs is a bit difficult but in reality the answer is based on just a single sentence I.e. “The preferences of Pakistan and the inherits of Balochistan (Balochs) are entirely different”. Spending 62 years with Pakistan prove that not only their preferences are different but clashing.
Pakistan’s greedy eyes are on Baloch resources whereas Baloch sensing the evil is struggling to unchain its slavery. As the preferences of both the sides are not the same thus the question of helping the Baloch is overruled. In such circumstances Lenin’s formula which is based on goodness of intention is applicable here; ‘major nations should support the freedom of minor nations and minor nations should participate in the democratic struggles of major nations’. But here Baloch is the victim and is being ordered too. Now isn’t it the responsibility of major bodies to demonstrate honesty by accepting the Baloch struggle for independence, support them and offer Baloch for its co-operation in the changing democracy of Pakistan. We are sure whenever the occupation on Baloch land come on its end the very next day its independence shall be supported. Therefore Baloch is proceeding without awaiting the help of such bodies and not being in any vain imagination.
7. Lack of leadership:
We have discussed the mentioned subject in detail in one of our articles ‘Baloch lack action and not leadership’ published in Daily Tawar but as a matter of fact we will have a short look on the subject. Pakistani rulers or Baloch enemies in order to spread disappointment and cause confusion among Balochs spread such rumors. These rumors are not unexpected and we shall not waste our time debating on them but when a Baloch expresses similar views we grieve and instantly know the person himself is in great confusion thinking every other person is unclear just like him because one who does not have a leader has no role in the struggle. For such people the real issue is not leader but thought. Whenever they make up their mind having a clear vision they will find people of same vision and leader as well. Such people who do not regret the fact of Balochs living in the territories of Pakistan and Iran, deny the pro-independence leaders being leaders. This is the clear difference between pro-independence and Pakistani and Iranian pro-parliament Balochs that the pro-independence never complain about absence of leadership whereas pro-parliaments usually repeat the same subject. They (pro-parliaments) complain their leaders are unpopular in public but they also cannot suggest staying with Pakistan and Iran. Such thoughts are contemptible among Balochs and these people do not will to be called so, ending not supporting a prideful thought (pro-independence).Such confused people are unable to answer a simple question I.e. what are their nominees for the leader of the entire struggle? They avoid nominating their pro-parliaments knowing their unpopularity among the freedom fighters and the locals, this in not because of the idiocy of their leaders but their ideas do not match the thoughts the freedom fighters are dieing for. Similarly they cannot point out the abatements in these leaders which lead their invalidity. Here too they try to argue by claiming these (pro-independence) leaders are not accepted by other Balochs but they forget that the real issue is with themselves and not the nation. A designated and limited body in Balochs provoke the enemy propagandas in order to raise thought clash among Balochs by saying Balochs will not succeed just because they lack leadership. They cannot resist the fact that Balochs despite being very weak has weakened the economy of a nuclear power. There is a question mark on the development of every international value keeping profitable project in this country. Baloch war for freedom has forced the trend of investment, If the nation or the struggle lack leader how come it turn Pakistan into Missilestan? Effortless people make excuse to get rid of the ongoing struggle; hence with the passage of time questions regarding success following unity in Balochs will be ineffective due to the intensity of the struggle. The support and oppose of such people will not affect the struggle.
8. Importunity of a major body on ‘surface’:
This question too is an excuse but as it pops up eventually we will discuss it in short. Before starting, let us clear this question is asked by those friends who try to make place for pro-parliaments in this national struggle. By asking this, the questioner hesitates but means the freedom fighters should carry on their struggle in the mountains and should not oppose the pro-parliaments to join Pakistani parliament. Asking so, such people do not think for a while that the freedom fighters fighting in worse conditions avoid any coalition with these pro-parliaments whereas their sympathy and help is the most needed. On the other hand pro-parliaments claim to be the companions and political wings of the freedom fighters and sometimes they reach till a point saying our paths might differ but aim is the same. Everyone is aware that the freedom fighter in the mountains is defending the resources and coasts of Balochistan and all bodies in Baloch National Front (BNF) are raising their slogan in order to unite the people. Hundreds of their people in tortures cells, many of activists and leaders being directly target killed and thousands in prisons, despite all these the parties are continuously working for their cause. If these efforts are invisible to some, then it’s clear those are the people who question but never work for the cause.In worse conditions, BNF has united the pro-independence. In the presence of BNF, the demand of another united surface alliance is dishonesty or being unaware of the present situation of Pakistan. No doubt BNF could be made more effective and motivated but to do so suggestions of other Baloch parties colliding with BNF are positive. First the suggestion maker should clear itself being a pro-independence saying good-bye to the Pakistani parliamentarian politics forever. Here we do not want to argue on what the achievements as a nation were given to us by the Pakistani parliament and what made our leaders lose their vocal senses after reaching the assemblies. In such, it is not fair to remind the leaders of the joint parties in BNF that without taking along the other Balochs (pro-parliaments) success is hard to achieve. This question should be kept forward to the other Balochs who have still not join this alliance which in real is contributing sacrifices. Why don’t the pro-independence make them ever feel that till their absence the struggle would be unsuccessful and the martyr’s blood would go in vain. In our view, the issue is not that the freedom fighters take along these people with them but the issue is to go along with the freedom fighters. They should define the reasons that keep them avoid being convinced in helping the freedom fighters. If we analyze the other part of this question, we would find Pakistan’s undemocratic and barbaric based attitude does not allow a surface party to survive. Last year in a honoured meeting with respected Sardar Khair Baksh Marri, we kept forward the particular question. He openly answered; ‘A country lacking democracy and justice, it is impossible to propitiate the demand of democratic tactics or surface party in it. What arguments will a person present in front of a thief, looter, cruel and a violent? You talk they kill, you carry out rallies they open indiscriminate fire against the innocents, you write they kill. The only answer to your questions is bullet. If talks were effective, why pick up the gun?!’
The sayings of Baba Marri are solid truth but having the spirit of sacrifice for Balochistan, men and women still bravely carry out rallies in the cities. When BNF’s 80% members are in jail or have warrants against them, those living in cities and talking about politics are not in the mood to take any effective step which could disturb the government acts. When criticized, rather then correcting their acts they accuse Baloch of disunity because accusations are easy to make but joining and working for a surface party or alliance is difficult. The meaning of ‘larger unity’ among these people and the freedom fighters differ. Pro-Pakistani parliaments talk about larger unity in sense of unity among all the Baloch parties to participate in elections and win maximum seats whereas pro-independence see the term of larger unity as the path of getting rid of the total relations with Pakistan. The basic reason of any surface party or alliance not existing (except BNF) is that a body taking maximum seats would show the world that Baloch accept the Pakistani parliamentary system and agree to do politics in the country’s boundaries. While others (pro-independence) by this unity try to show the world that they are not the only ones demanding the slogan of independence but all Baloch powers support them.Unfortunately not only the paths of pro-parliaments and pro-independence differ but their mission differs too. Or it can be taken as both the groups are directly against each other. Parliamentary politics make the world believe that despite Baloch having internal complains against Pakistan, do not demand independence and are only against the establishment and have no problem with the state. Whereas sensing the non-parliamentary political parties or alliance, the world come to the point that Baloch is not only unhappy with its unjust division but is seeking correction of this historical mistake. Therefore, those who think the only solution to Balochistan issue is independence, believe BNF to be a surface power and should join any party in BNF to strengthen its power. Those who think they are not satisfied by the work of any pro-parliament party, could make a decision on theory basis joining the pro-independence alliance. Then the person would realize the rapid development in this alliance and would stop complaining knowing the only missing part of this surface alliance was the person itself (who previously was a far standing spectator and now is a part of a struggle).
9. Education and development prior to the freedom demand:
Talking so, they try to paint a portrait of an important issue but going through the subject reveal these people are providing the enemy ‘the secret of ruling them’. They mean till Baloch nation is uneducated and undeveloped, the enemy could rule the nation (with our help). Whereas the enemy is well aware of this fact and on this basis is not providing education but teachings of slavery. If a slave itself address the master that it would demand freedom when educated, would the master be so foolish in providing it education?Those who demand priority to education and development should accept the fact of not having both these things in their reach. Our nationalist Chief Minister being Education Minister could not restore the orders of Martyr Nawab Akbar Bugti regarding Balochi to be taught in schools, are not capable to serve anything more in this field. Here if not suspecting their good intentions, we could definitely come to a point that at least they are victim of helplessness and self interests. These friends talk about resources and coasts but are unable to answer a question I.e. despite Pakistan handing over the resources and the coasts to the Baloch, still the pro-independence do not agree on any contract less than independence, would these nationalists be along? Referencing the historical fact of forced occupation by Pakistan, we surely think Pakistan will not provide Balochistan’s resources or coasts to Baloch. On the other side of the border Iran’s situation is the same or worse. Leave aside the resources, despite the killings and massacre causing the investors not to think about investment in this country, Pakistan is not fulfilling the demands of those Baloch parties who are willing to stay in the boundaries of Pakistan. Release of political prisoners, recoveries of the disappeared, helping the IDPs and withdrawal of military from Balochistan are such demands that are way too less important than independence, but Islamabad is not interested in fulfilling them.Commenting on the education status in Balochistan and specially in Baloch areas, we can only say till all the authorizations in Balochistan are not handed over to Balochs, providing education here is a deceiving fact. Still today there exist Baloch areas where the district council based on the population of 40-50 thousand people, in rural areas from the past 62 years only 2 persons could clear their intermediate. Balochistan, till today teachers once in a blue moon visit the schools to look at the walls (if exist) and there are hundreds of such schools which are only present on some papers. All the parties who have been periodically been in power due to the will of Islamabad are involved in this crime. In such when one’s neighbours are way ahead in the educational sector and their children have better educational environment, to think about competing them is compared to commit collective national suicide. At this time Baloch is a victim of worse state conspiracies and it cannot compete its neighbours in the presence of these conspiracies.To hide their conspiracies, government and its puppets sing the same tone as the pro-parliaments. They accuse Baloch being anti-education, whereas Baloch is against the educational system and the particular trend which distances them from their thousand of year old history. Baloch is taught the 62 year old history of Pakistan but its own thousands of year old history is never taught. An Indian intellectual once said to a Pakistani; ‘In Pakistani educational system, after the history of Mehergarh, Pakistan’s history is taught, anything happened in between is missing. They forget it or just ignore it because Pakistan had no role in it.’Baloch is not against education but against the injustice that its language is not being taught. Baloch is against the fact that it is not authorized to have control of its educational system and others make educational policies for Baloch reserving the right of making the decision of what is good and bad for Baloch. Baloch is against the policy which does not provide the chances of its children being equal in competition with its neighbour (nations) children. Despite lacking equal facilities Baloch is dared to be afraid of competition and the opportunities are being provided to the non-Balochs stating Balochs being idiots.Baloch is aware that its children getting education in Arab countries, European countries, America, Canada and Russia mark as brilliant students. This means Baloch children are not weak but the educational environment (in Pakistan) given to them is not appropriate for them. As the government does not have any proof in its favor to hide these injustice and conspiracies it had committed, for its own ease it claims Baloch being anti-education whereas Baloch is not anti-education but anti educational system provided to it which teaches the lesson of slavery. In an article ‘Baloch massacre in Karachi; Those who lost their lives in dark paths’ published recently, we had argued on less education statistics among Baloch in a city like Karachi which consist large number of major educational circles, we requested the entire nation to learn a lesson from these statistics. Baloch cannot tolerate any delay and the thought of freedom being conditioned with education is an example of worse enmity. Despite the fact of Baloch not being provide education, any nation’s freedom cannot be conditioned to its education. In our neighboring United Arab Emirates, at the time of its independence the literacy rate was even worse than the current literacy rate in Balochistan. Even their rulers did not had the gift of education. No nation in this world has ever been kept as slave just because it was uneducated. When Baloch enemies make such allegations anyone could figure their plan but when a Baloch itself try to make such excuse it definitely hurts. World developed countries like America, Canada, Britain and all the European countries hire well skilled people from around the world inviting them in their countries giving them the best facilities, it is no harm in independent Balochistan to hire such people on contract basis. In short, no independence gaining country in the world delayed its freedom movement for the sake of its education and development slogan. Nor any occupying power ever grant freedom to a nation on the basis of it becoming literate, if it was so then Basques in Spain or the Irish could have got their independence long back.
10. Demand of ‘provincial autonomy’ or ‘right of self-determination’ before independence:
Before debating on this issue, it is necessary to find out the Baloch perspective on its status with in Pakistan and Iran. Then it would be easy to come to any conclusion once knowing Baloch perspective. The clashing government statements and looking at the real situation in Balochistan, one can easily figure out that the majority in Balochistan are pro-independence. If it was not so, the government would have never taken serious steps and would have not need to spread fear and its supporters would have not felt shame on their acts which is the proof of them being helpless in front of the pro-independence.Despite this reality some Baloch parties talk about provincial autonomy prior to the demand of freedom and a particular party talks about ‘right of self determination’ before the demand of independence. Lets analyze both these demands in the light of ground reality. The demand of provincial autonomy is unreal and compared to national suicide because this is exactly as the demand which Baloch has been demanding since the British rule till today. It was defined with another name (treaty) but explanation is almost the same. Baloch nation has been fighting against the British for its internal autonomy in various areas using various names but it was never convinced to fight for its independence as one unit. All the battles between Marri vs. Bugtis, Khan Kalat vs. Kharanis, Khalil Khan vs. Jihind Khan ended up in any kind of treaty. Baloch witnessed defeat in instalments collectively. Every group signed some contracts for their areas but they were unaware that by signing these treaties separately they were getting weaker and weaker. On the basis of these treaties, Balochistan’s unjust division took place. Being divided in pieces and in result of state conspiracies, Baloch of Sindh, Punjab, Afghanistan and Iran today is not in a position to fight for its national survival. If the freedom movement in Eastern Balochistan does not succeed, no power could prevent Balochs colliding with other major nations or vanishing in about a century or so. If Baloch survive it shall only remain as a surname and if the enemy continues its policy against Baloch, the families would not keep the surname excusing a hurdle in development or to avoid ridicule of a defeated nation.Pro-independence call the provincial autonomy and right of self-determination seekers as the biggest hurdles in their ways. If Pakistan succeed in crushing the freedom movement with the help of these Balochs, Balochistan shall not only become a province of cantonments in a few years, it would be divided into 2 provinces I.e. Balochistan and Brahuistan in order to crush its entire energy and people shall be serving in the same wages not being able to do anything. Baloch would become way weaker than it is today. Neither they will be able to gain education like the Balochs in Karachi nor could they use assemblies as their weapons in fact the state would use them as a tissue paper and throw them in the dustbin of history. It is no story but a bitter truth, as 50 years ago no one could imagine the rule of Muhajirs in Karachi, Balochistan would become the same. Those who raise the slogan of ‘right of self-determination’ saying it is too early for the demand of independence, should first ask their own leaders clarification in the slogan of independence in the decade of 1980 A.D. or if their current slogan sounds more in favor of self interest. Their (former leaders) slogan of independence was just at that time because they reserved the right of changing it which later on end up with the term of ‘give and take’ and is still present as a black dot in the history of Baloch national politics.In short, the demanders of ‘right of self determination’ could not join the pro-independence till they do not decide breaking up with Pakistan. In past Baloch nation has lost everything on the very same path, today Baloch has only Balochistan to lose which Pakistan claim as its province. Balochistan is the only guarantee of Baloch national survival and if Baloch agree on anything less than their independence it would be a victim of greater divisions and be weaker. The last and the bitter fact is that if Baloch give up at this point they would never get a second try.

Illegal crackdown and constitutional breakdown in Balochistan
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Pakistan’s Chief justice has been hearing cases of abducted Baloch from past six months in Balochistan. He has been passing remark after remark and giving date after date but with no affect. He admits that no one listens to his orders; neither the Police are answerable here nor the FC, ISI and other security agencies are ready to accept their crimes. He went on to say, “We have asked for people to be produced before the court but instead they were killed and dumped. The provincial government has become completely ineffective, from the chief minister to other provincial minsters and bureaucrats have nothing to do with the affairs of the province; everyone is trying to hide from the factual situation. Hence there is a constitutional crisis in Balochistan.”
These remarks of the Chief Justice are true because the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons in Balochistan and the International Voice for Baloch missing Persons on International level has been always long saying that the state security agencies are the real culprits of violating the human rights of the Baloch people. Active members of International Voice for Baloch Missing Person with guidance of Baloch leader Hyrbyair Marri have been raising these issues with a clear vision in America, Europe, Canada and elsewhere. Their hard work and efforts have exposed the Pakistani barbarism and painted a clear of Baloch freedom movement.
The question that arises now is that if the Chief justice is saying the same thing which we (Baloch) have been saying then why there is still disagreement? The answer is quite easy that Baloch have no complaints against any individual officials or institutes but their problem is the state itself that is why none of the departments of the state can be sympathetic towards the Baloch people. In other words the Baloch interests are contradictory to the interests of the state. All the institutions of the state including the Supreme Court are trying to force or convince the Baloch nation to remain within Pakistan so that their natural resources and Sea Coast can be used as oxygen to keep Pakistani state alive. Whereas the Baloch want to become the master of their own destiny so that their history, cultural, language and national identity is not endangered – it is impossible to save the aforementioned values within Pakistan. Since Pakistan came into being it has been repeatedly saying that abandon your identity as Baloch, Sindhi, Pashtun and Punjabi – all nations should call themselves Pakistanis. Those who do not understand the poisonous mindset of Pakistan and become prey of this beautiful slogan, they are actually becoming part of a policy to lose everything and leave their next generations stranded but sensible people would consider it their duty to oppose this disgusting conspiracy because they know the fact that Punjab wants shift its 52% population on their land in an effort to exploit their resources to run Punjab’s crumbling state. Balochistan which is 44% of Pakistan’s land with a population of only 5% of that country (Pakistan) under this formula it is not difficult to understand this anti Baloch slogan that they [Pakistanis] do not need the Baloch people they need the Baloch land. Now let’s try to find out that how the Chief Justice is trying to resolve the Balochistan issue in the light of above formula and is it possible? The answer is in negative! Because he has not even paid attention to the real problem yet then how can he resolve this issue. During all the court hearing none of the judges including the Chief Justice has said that the Baloch activists have been arrested and extra-judicially killed for demanding their freedom and that freedom is their basis right. As the Pakistani military leadership and politicians try to hide facts by saying that there is no freedom movement in Balochistan. The top judges of Pakistan judiciary have also adopted the same policy but they are forgetting the fact that ignoring the root cause will make it more complicated. The fact of the matter is all those people that have been either disappeared to killed under-custody are/were either leaders or members of pro-freedom Baloch political parties. The other reason of abducting them by FC and Pakistan security agencies is that these people are/were well-wishers of Baloch freedom movement. Until the Pakistan army and its judiciary declare that demanding freedom in a democratic manner is criminal offense, they cannot resolve the issue of enforced-disappearance let alone solving the issue of Balochistan. It is pertinent to remember that the Baloch activists that have been disappeared and killed, they were not criminals or thieves but they were/are ideological leaders and workers. If the Chief Justice cannot imprison their ideology and declares the limits of freedom, the abducted Baloch upon their release will against continue the very same struggle for which they were arrested. Hence Pakistani forces have not imprisoned Baloch activists but tried to imprison their thought of freedom and they have not killed hundreds of Baloch students, intellectuals, lawyers and political leader but they tried to kill the ideology of freedom which demands an independent and sovereign Baloch state. Those Baloch who have been either disappeared or killed, they have hundreds of thousands of ideological followers and they are still at liberty – the state is abducting and killing them one by one.
The Chief Justice must also understand the fact that Pakistan state has failed to buy the loyalty of these activists with the powers of it bombs, bullets and greed. Now to conceal its defeat the state has now adopted the barbaric policy of abduct, torture and kill and dump. To resolve the issue of enforced-disappearances in Balochistan the Chief Justice needs to study some historical incidents and find a solution in light of combining those historical chains. We hope that Chief Justice and majority of other sensible people are well aware of the fact that eliminating Baloch nation is not possible because with each passing day immense internal and foreign pressure will continue to increase on Pakistan, which is why the FC instead of accepting its crimes has asked to be given the police powers which proves that this institute of state (FC) is trying to legitimize its powers that it has been using unlawfully. This also clearly indicates that the FC is not ready to change its policies. In this case the question arises how will the court deal with them? If we see in legal point of view, there is very less that the court can do and on practical ground court cannot do anything at all but to become a silent spectator like other institutes of the state. As the parliament despite being a crime partner in Baloch genocide exempts itself from crimes, the Prime Minister, the speaker and the President verbally accepts crimes against Baloch but who is committing these atrocities and how to stop these atrocities, no one has been able to give a satisfactory answer to this question.
They state officials sometimes say that the FC has been deployed in Balochistan on the request of provincial government and then they say FC operates under GHQ. Similarly, the chief minister Balochistan say they [FC] work on his orders while on the other hand he says FC has established a parallel government in Balochistan and that his status is less than of a street hawker. Each one tries to throw the ball in others’ court but this cannot heal the wounds of Balochistan
The policy of abduct, kill and dump has not changed in fact kill and dump is intensifying and expanding with each passing day. Nobody is willing to tell and face the truth because telling the truth and practically acting upon it will cut their artificial wings which are provided to them by these criminal institutions. The Judiciary cannot do more than lip service in fact some of our friends believe that the judiciary is trying to pave a way for governor rule in Balochistan by passing commits like the situation is out of control which is a valid prediction but personally I reject this discussion for time being. In my next article “Has anything left” we will discuss and try to find out why the Chief Justice has remembered Balochistan after such a long time?
However, I will conclude my this discussion briefly saying that Chief Justice’s remarks that there is a judicial break down because of the illegal crackdown – are a strong proof of this country [Pakistan’s] state terrorism which no ruler and general can deny and it is enough to drag Pakistan to the international court of justice.

Terrifying blast in western Balochistan: a reaction of an inhuman act
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
In western Balochistan a few days ago a terrifying blast and its result was many high ranking Iranian authorities and pro Tehran Baloch delegations that were vanished. Such big terrible events have once again raised many questions in the region. While the Baloch and Balochistan have gotten international attention and have become a subject of discussion. As usual and expected Pakistan is linking Malik Reki as fellow of Taliban and labelling his struggle as one of religion and extremism?
For quite a few days many newspapers and Media pundits have tried to show Baloch are religious and fanatics. Fortunately Baloch nation is lucky that due to lack of their knowledge and strength in argument that failed to leave any impression. From Balochistan, a senior lawyer, in his interview with international media stated that Malik Reki suicide attacks are similar to Betullah Meshood, according to his believe his followers are taking the same training and vice versa.
The matter of the fact is when human beings face starvation he may use any language anywhere around the world to ask for food (to fill his starving stomach). Similarly, wherever injustice has occurred then the response will be hate. The reason and method of that hate will be different but their goal remains the same. How to get out from grinding injustice and struggles, who abolished their oppressor?
The Baloch matter is similar to those situations and as powerless. They are ready to sacrifice their everything for the sake of freedom. So slavery and a disgraceful life should not be transfer to the next generation.
In both sides of the border Baloch have been facing a very powerful enemy in such a scenario their main mission is to have less loss and let their enemy to suffer more. If Baloch was confronting an enemy which has little humanity, where Baloch could be able to struggle through democratic means to achieve his rights, if they expected any positive outcome then Baloch could not be forced to attack in such suicide manners nor (today) Baloch carry gun in their hand.
The whole world strongly condemned such attacks and Baloch also do not support such acts, but they do deserve a right to ask a few questions. From five years till now Iran has approximately executed or murdered 721 Baloch. This includes a well known Sunni scholar but the world could have the courage or could have tried to stop Tehran’s hand?
Along with the Baloch are other nations, they are victims of state’s worst terrorism (in Iran). Why is the world incapable of helping them? If the world condemned such suicide attacks, then they should be capable of stopping that. No state should take another nation’s thousand years of old history, their homeland, and their identity. Either they should convince other nations to believe that without taking the gun nor sacrificing their (precious) lives they still can achieve their justice.
Before we take the discussion further we should make it clear to Iranian and Pakistani authorities. The allegations from Iran that Pakistani agencies are involved in supporting Baloch whom are making situations bad inside Iran; this is nothing but a joke. Whatever the Baloch nation has chosen the path it is from them. While this is the fact that Pakistan and Iran secret agencies always cooperative with each other, Baloch have known their secret since long time ago. Because independence of Eastern or Western Balochistan will directly affect each other, that is the main point where Tehran and Islamabad are both doubtful of each other yet it is nothing but making a fool of Baloch.
Similarly, Iran was previously blaming UK and the United States for interfering in its internal affairs. For Tehran, if rulers believe in justice they should look at Chahbahar and Bander Abbas Baloch coastal belts where Baloch used to have complete autonomy. Today, their population is from two percent to five percent labor force. Look at it very carefully, and see their opportunity of education. Are Baloch studying their history? Are Baloch and other nations (beside Persians) having an opportunity of promoting their own mother language? In short, Baloch are the owners of the most precious land in Iran, then why is the Baloch nation being compared to others who are also oppressed, yet Baloch are more oppressed and forced to be backward than other oppressed groups.
Although, Malik Reki movement started as Jundullah, with the religious name but it is a pure national movement. While in Iran from Shah to Mullahs, all are prohibiting the political activities and leaving people far away from political awareness. In such a society where lack of education exists in a nation, that nation is suffering economically and other nations are being suppressed. Then their political slogan and struggle to achieve their national rights are not only going to be difficult but may be impossible. That is the main reason Malik Reki based of Sunni population, against prohibitions of Sunni religious practice, and fighting against the innocent and well known Baloch Sunni scholar’s murder. This voice is the foundation of his movement, particularly in Iranian regime situation; there is no better practical strategy for Baloch to fight against the enemy with the same weapons.
In Iran, throat of democracy is suffocated by Islamic system. In a state where inhuman and uncivilized way of decisions is being made inside the mosque, the mosque has become substitute of political institutions. Where someone having a different point of view will be labeled as an agent of the United States or other countries. Then they will simply be executed. Where rallies and demonstrations are prohibited, where people having no other place except the mosque, where people gather for prayers then get an opportunity to share their views. Even though, Baloch are abandoned even from the mosque because they are Sunni.
In Iran all other nations are victims of oppression. In the name of justice, justice itself is being murdered; the more to write about that it seems it’s still not enough. Where other nations are left alone and they face death, international powers are just being expatiator that is by all means condemnable.
In Iran, Baloch and other nations are today facing state terrorism. The fanatic and religious hates are further being painful and it is taking dangerous shape. Where Shia rulers are radical and oppressive, therefore Baloch nations and others are forced to think about their land which Tehran digested; there language is powerless due to dominated Persians. Their culture and customs are going down and being forced to change within unnatural nation of Persians.
In Iranian ruler considers religion as their identity while they have reached a stage of a mentality that their religion is being attacked, Tehran will see it will be the last nail hitting in the forehead. Therefore, through religious ideology people can open a path for struggle to save their land, language, culture and customs.
From our point of view whoever considers Abdul Malik Reki’s struggle as a fanatic one he may have a problem and could be an enemy of Baloch by linking Abdul Malik Reki with Taliban and Al Qaeda. This will be obstacle of gaining international support for Baloch National Movement. While Pakistani and Iranian authorities are busy in propaganda against the Baloch, at he same time they are hiding their own sins. They are making it harder for Baloch while Baloch themselves are trying to have an affect on media.
Despite all this Baloch are successfully letting the world know they are peaceful and a civilized nation regardless of being weak and they are still struggling against such fanatic Iranian regimes and Pakistan. Such states who are betraying the United States and the rest of the world. Baloch are fighting for their survival after the enormous sacrifices, their struggle has reached the decisive stage. Therefore, international powers should see Baloch national problems thoroughly and seriously. Their struggle which is going on for their independence of Balochistan. If international powers fail to resolve Baloch problems according to the Baloch interest then the near future situations will not be in control by anyone in the region. Baloch want to live freely and he is ready to die, who are not familiar with the Baloch psychic should be reminded, Baloch psychology rests in this proverb “In a coward and brave death there is one difference. Brave died with dignity once and cowards every day because of fear hundreds time dies.” So, Baloch will fight for his survival with in a dignifying way.
By not allowing the whole region to be slaughter ground international powers must think and make it possible to resolve the Baloch land issue - unnatural divisions among Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Through that strategy the lawlessness in Iran will end and in Pakistan Baloch will be rid of state terrorism. If the international powers cannot do this those whose innocent loved ones were murdered they will take personal revenge to those states. Whatever method they think will be appropriate they will adopt. They may not adopt (the strategy) what the international powers are going to call good or bad. When they feel they are alone and helpless then they will be forced to think otherwise. If the world body is unable to play a positive role then individuals do not consider it to be accountable of any rules. Through, their personal revenge a whole nation or their freedom struggle should not be labeled terrorist; that would not be fear.
In conclusion, Baloch and Balochistan’s problem has taken serious shape, by only looking at that serious problem on the surface it will cause serious consequences in that region. So, the international powers should not look at Baluchistan’s situation according to Pakistan and Iranian eyes because they are the foe of Baloch, till now the world body is making decisions according to their (Iran, Pakistan) base of provided information. Obliviously, their information are misguided and one sided one.

Excerpt from an Interview with a European Journalist about Smouldering Balochistan
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
"I was so well protected by my Baloch friends that I never felt at risk. In fact, I was, and still am, more worried about the personal security of those who helped me as they may be victims of reprisals. Baloch hospitality was overwhelming everywhere I was in Balochistan." These are the words of the famous European journalists Karlos Zurutuza whose interview was published in San Sebastian, by Sara Etxart, under the Headline of "Balochistan a land of limits."
He is one those sensitive and concerned European journalists, who are not only writing about Baloch and Balochistan for a long time, but also trying hard to depict the true picture of Baloch nation in real spirit in their writings to spread awareness among their own(Europeans, Americas, Canadians, Australians) people. So that, as tax payers, they ask their respective governments forcefully, why they are supporting such terrorist and tyrant regimes with their money, who bombard villages and kill people, put on fire their crops and acidize the faces of the innocent children? And that, in these despotic countries, their public money is being used to buy bullets, instead of poverty eradication.
Bibi Wendy Jonson and Waja Peter Tatchel are among those who are constantly putting a lot of efforts into high lighting the Baloch national issue.
Waja karlus's constant writing about Baloch nation, affirms his compassion for humanity. Last year he and Peter Tatchel were accorded Nawab Akber Bugti Award in recognition of their hard works for highlighting Baloch national issue by Baloch national leader khair Beyar Marri.
Now coming to Karlus Zuruturza's interview, which has been published in many international sites, including theBaluch.com, Balochwarna.org, According to him, the main reason of the Baloch polarization and the failure of their national struggle, is the occupation and the unjust politics of world powers in the region where they have compromised Baloch Unity by interring into morbid deals with dominant nations, i.e. Persians, Punjabis and Pakhtoons. In order to not antagonize the dominant nations over Baloch, they have deprived them of the right to unite or to gain power to rise above.
In his point of view, the big powers and the developed world are still unaware of the importance of Baloch nation and Balochistan. The people of the developed world do not have the sufficient awareness about the fact that when we talk about Balochistan, it means we are talking about the most important geostrategic land on the earth. This country possesses a vast costal belt, which forms the choke of Persian Gulf, where the gas and oil pipelines of Central Asia would pass. In terms of energy, Nature has bestowed upon the Baloch the richest land, where coal, oil, gas, uranium, silver, gold, aluminum and countless other natural wealth have been discovered. Where the Chinese, Chileans, Canadians and Australians companies are engaged in looting the precious wealth and the locals are deprived of its income.
In concise, we could say the biggest natural resources of the Asia are hidden in the womb of Baloch motherland.
Keeping in view these facts, Karlus emphasizes upon the international community, that when they talk about the geopolitics of the region, they should abandon their apathy towards Baloch and Balochistan and start thinking about the new dimensions, and then they will have to admit the fact that Balochistan holds the key position in the region. And we believe that in the near future, the big powers will come around this thinking.
As we had earlier said that Karlus has a clear vision about Baloch and Balochistan. According to him, Baloch is a distinguished nation, with a distinguished homeland, language, culture and with a common history. But, under the imperialistic politics of 91th century the British Empire divided it into different pieces.
In fact it is the basic of his philosophy, under which, Baloch national struggle establishes itself to be a liberation movement, rather than a secessionist one. And it also bears out the fact that Baloch war is a defensive one.
He expresses his views about the current situation of Balochistan, which are exactly true to the point. He says that 80% per cent of Baloch people, in Pakistani controlled province are deprived of education. This province not only constitutes the status of poorest, but also bearing the brunt of worst state sponsored terrorism, where villages after villages have been subjected to aerial bombardment. People are displaced under the open sky for years. Thousands innocent people have been forced into disappearance without any court and trail. No one knows about their well being and whereabouts.
These atrocities are not confined only to Eastern Balochistan; Western Balochistan is also subject to worst type of barbarism and savagery under the Iranian theocratic regime, where people are shot to death and hanged in public. And political workers are picked up and hurled down from the flying helicopters.
According to his accounts, the survival of the Baloch nation is the issue of the current situation in Balochistan; Because Pakistan and Iran have put in place all their paraphernalia to liquidate Baloch from its existence. On the question of a journalist that if Balochistan has been ignored! Then narrate us a story which corroborates your claim? Karlus sums' up the entire situation into a nut shell, by sighting his last year's journey to the region, according to him; his findings could be a comprehensive book consisting of several volumes. And I completely agree with him. He says, last year, when he visited the area, where natural gas was discovered in 1950, with which entire Pakistani household is enjoying cooking, but I found that Baloch are cooking their food with animals dry excretions and firewood, they bought from their neighborhood. Now imagine the extent of the deprivation and the suppression of the Baloch people on their homeland?
On the occasion of receiving the Nawab Akber Bugty award, he said that he was very proud of the fact that his efforts had been recognized. But at the same time he also said that he had high regard for the works of those Baloch journalists who had taken the responsibility of reporting the truth under the dangerous circumstances, Regardless of the fact that they would face imprisonment and death. He said that he praised the bravery Baloch journalists deep down from his heart.
Actually, the basic point of his interview was to raise awareness about the Baloch issue in the "first world community" so he succeeded, otherwise, had it been the case of inferring, he must have repeated the words of his friend, Peter Tatchel, "If tiny East Timor can be an independent nation, why not Baluchistan"?

Dr Malik's Meeting with Hilary Clinton
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
According to news reports Dr Malik, the head of National Party, has had a meeting with the American foreign secretary Hilary Clinton, where he has expressed his support for drone attacks and welcomed the Kerry Lugar bill.
What could be more apathetic then that of Dr Malik’s attitudes towards his national issues? This has saddened us deeply. We know that slavery has eroded our self confidence from us, which is why, whenever we talk, we slavishly try to appease the masters. It is an illness, but when this illness affects a national leader, then it becomes hard to full the nation out of it abyss of slavery.
It is now incumbent upon us to remind people like Dr Malik, that when you claim to be a national leader, then you should be to talking about the issues of your unfortunate nation above all.
If you had the chance to utter a few words, then you should have expressed your concerns over the target killing of political leaders by the stated sponsored terrorism. And you should have reminded her that on the one hand, the world powers oppose extremism, and urge the political forces to resolve the differences through democratic means, but on the other, the despotic regimes and governments, supported by world powers, would not hesitate to kill and wound the peaceful protesters.
These despotic regimes would abduct political leaders in the broad day light and kill them; their rattled bodies with bullets are thrown at unknown deserted locations. These despotic regimes would abduct political leaders in the broad day light and kill them; their rattled bodies with bullets are thrown at unknown deserted locations. But the same world powers, who lecture for peaceful means for resolving national issues, are overlooking these despotic regimes heinous crimes, which is regarded as a certificate for these states to carry out their heinous crimes of terminating the opponents and putting restriction on democratic and political means of struggles.
You should have reminded her about the ongoing military operations of Pakistani forces in Balochistan, the extra judicial actions and arrests, the years old disappearances of thousands of political workers and leaders, or exposed the fact to the world super power about Raskhoh nuclear tests environmental effects, the outbreak of different types of diseases, or the dislodging of local people from their villages for the past 12 years, and similarly complained about the radiation of Pakistan nuclear tests in the area where neither united nations nor a credible international nuclear inspection agency have visited the test site to assess the level of radiation, so that the people leaving in the surrounding area could be saved from the succeeding generational affects of these tests.
What on earth has urged Dr malik to talk about Kerry Lugar bill and drone attacks while forgetting his own people who migrated in hundreds of thousands from Dera Bugti and Mountainous Marri, to alien places because of Pakistani military onslaught, of which a large number of families have migrated to neighbouring Afghanistan where they are, for the past five years leaving in extremely abject conditions, a human tragedy of which the government has adopted a shameful apathetic ignorance towards these people.
It is also a shame full tragedy for United Nations that they have become totally apathetic toward Baloch IDPs.
Is it that the Kerry Lugar bill and the drone attacks are more important for Dr malik then the precious lives of Jalil Reki, Zaker Majeed, Dr Deen Mohmd, Iqbal Baloch, Asger Ali Bungulzai, and thousands other disappeared Baloch?
An entire Pakistan is there to express like or dislike about Kerry and Lugar bill and drone attacks, from president and prime minister, to opposition leader Nawaz Shareer to Imran Khan, all are engaged in debating the issue.
But who talks about your unfortunate Baloch nation?
The American officials are frequently visiting Pakistan; Pakistan has utterly made it impossible for Baloch to have access to American officials. In such a rare time when you had the chance/ access to America secretary and allowed to express yourself, (For me, as a Baloch, concerning the genocide of Baloch in Balochistan, all other issues are of secondary important) why you wasted it by talking about something which is of non important to Baloch national cause? Wastage of such opportunity amounts to negligence, foolishness and utterly as a crime against the nation.
We never expect that Dr Malik or his party would present the question of forced annexation of Balochistan with Pakistan before an American foreign Secretary - that it had never met its 62 year old promises; neither we have the slightest hope that he would complain about the Iranian forces incursion into eastern occupied Balochistan where it has been given free hand to carry out the massacre of innocent Baloch people.
It is beyond of our even thinking that he would bring to the notice of the foreign secretary that in Iranian occupied Balochistan, hardly a couple of days passes by the enlightened scholars, seculars and political workers are not persecuted or shot to death. The America might have played a positive role in stopping Iran from killing our innocent people by applying some sort of pressure on Iran.
Still neither can we make the mistake by demanding from him that he should advocate for an independent Balochistan.
But we do want to listen from him those talks; he has often been talking in front of Pakistani media and among Baloch people.
It is incomprehensible for us, while you’re in Malant or in Bulnegwer, you would express concern over killings of Baloch political leaders and speak to the fullest of your throat against the abduction of political workers, but the appropriate place where these concerns should have been raised, so that the master of Pakistan might prevent it from committing carnage of Baloch nation, but you remained silent! Why?
As a Baloch leader, your failure by not mentioning or taking up the calamitous situation of Balochistan, the American government presumably assumes two things out of this: first they assume that the news and reports of military operations in Balochistan, target killing of political leaders, forced abduction of political workers, firing on peaceful demonstrations are simply not true! And that in Pakistan press and political expression of thought is free as claimed by Rahman Malik. And those Baloch political workers who are living in Pakistan and in London, Stockholm, Oslo and Washington having constant agitation and protesting the Pakistani and Iranian atrocities against Baloch would be assumed lairs.
Second; the American must be thinking, that if indeed Balochistan is in serious turmoil where Baloch nation is facing the worst kind of brutality of state terrorism, then in terms of support or opposition, the Baloch leadership, who cannot take up its own national issues, then what the hell they can do for us?
In fact no one can stop America from whatever it has intended to do in the region, so it does not matter if Pakistani president, parliament or prime minister, find it good or bad!!
Last year in the joint in-camera parliamentary session (probably Dr Malik's National Party was participating), all parliamentary parties, along with army chief, had asked the Americans to stop its drone attacks on Pakistani soil. The Prime minister became so enthusiastic in his oratory to the extent that he assured the public that he had asked American president Obama that they would immediately stop the drone attacks. We had termed this assurance as a "tasteless funny joke" of well-wishing, as the drone attacks are still continuing, flaunting Pakistani so called sovereignty in tribal areas openly. Because of fear of being disgraced, no leader can make any protest, why America has discarded their parliamentary joint decision into a dustbin?.
Kerry ludger bill too will be of no different; all will oppose it, except Dr Malik, but no one will dare to refuse it. Banok Clinton was well aware of the disposition of these vagabonds, therefore, she categorically said that “if you don’t need the money, then don’t take it”. This stark answer zipped up their mouth forever.
Similarly, in this respect, if Dr Malik was to support the Kerry Lugar bill and the drone attacks, he could have represented his own national (Baloch) interests. Just as the bill stipulates Pakistan that it would not use the money against India, similarly, he could have asked her the same that any money or weapon given to Pakistan must be stipulated to the effect that it is not going to be used against Baloch, because until today all American aids are being used against Baloch.
Favouring the drone attacks, similarly, he could have offered his support for the attacks on the condition that targets are not chosen by Pakistan against Baloch freedom fighters and, making sure that the general public is saved from the attacks, and demanded as well that drone predators are not given to Pakistan, because we Baloch are apprehensive of the fact that it uses them against our nation, in instead of Taliban.
Coming to conclusion, had Dr malik taken up any one of several issues of Balochistan from any angle, it would have added a few weighs not only to his party, but a few grains to his name too. As for as the solution of Balochistan issue is concern, it cannot be resolved in one meeting, yet by this one could gauge the vision and honesty of these so called national leaders.
Oblivious to the excruciating sufferings of unfortunate smouldering Balochistan, today the news of this apathetic meeting has made it crystal clear that Dr Malik and his party is very close to Islamabad. Time will tell us what would be the judgment of Baloch and Balochistan regarding his apathy towards his nation, when the “Devi of words” would cease to manufacture excuses.

The mourning of hibernating consciences…
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
There is a saying in Balochi “Doost Pa Doosta Soogi Nabet Pedawaren Kaare Nakant” meaning if a friend cannot express his compassion in the time of condolence, he should not cheer up dancing in happiness which could increase the intensity of one’s sorrow.
Every true person aware of the violence and genocide in Balochistan is sadden except those Baloch leaders who are in power or awaiting to be in power aren’t bothered about it. The demand of being in power has snatched their human soul and emptied them internally. Perhaps for such people it is said “They are already dead but they just don’t stink!”.
But for an ordinary Baloch, Balochistan is exactly like the ‘aim’ of Socrates student who wanted to know the meaning of ‘aim’ so his master takes him to a pond to make him understand the meaning of ‘aim’. The master asks him to step into water; once they reach a deep point the master grabs his hair and starts to drown him. Within a few seconds the student starts having difficulty in breathing. Feeling the death closely he struggles to get out but the master holds him tight. Here comes a moment when the student uses his entire energy in getting out and succeed. After feeling a bit better he asks his master ‘What have you done?!’ so master replies ‘I wanted to make you understand the meaning of ‘aim’, the feeling in demand of survival could not be expressed by words and nor anyone can feel it anytime. When all other wishes in the world are no more and one and only wish is left, that particular wish is called ‘aim’.
Today Baloch nation is finding itself drowning. Iran and Pakistan have the will of chaining their feet and drowning them and Baloch nation is uniting it’s all energy for the only aim of its survival.
In such, the strength of intensity in Baloch nation in breaking these chains of slavery and in reaction the conspiracies against it are of the same strength. Baloch nation is aware of the price and toughness of its decision. It is ready to face any attack from the enemy but in such tough time it is badly hurt when its own people like its enemy attack them with the similar intensity hatred wise.
After reading the statements of two Baloch political personalities in the same week, ones feelings are hurt deeply. Chief Minister Aslam Raisani said the intelligence agencies should not be accused for the missing persons and the missing persons had deliberately gone underground to malign the intelligence agencies. On the second statement Haasil Bizenjo being a Baloch informs the Indians that there isn’t any freedom movement in Balochistan in fact Balochs is fighting for their right under Pakistan’s frame work.
Before commenting on such criminal statements of these leaders we would like to say that hundred people like Rehman Malik using all their forces cannot harm Baloch national struggle such hard as one of these statements given by such Baloch politicians could do.
We will not debate on Mir Haasil Bezinjo’s statement because such misguiding statements were debated in many of our articles but we would just say that these people whenever talking about their rights in Pakistan’s framework can repeat talking thousand times it is their democratic right, but keeping in mind the respect of the sacrifices of numerous martyrs, at least they should say those are freedom seekers. Presenting Baloch struggle in such ways show that the people sacrificing their lives and these political personalities have the same agenda. And those in the mountains are under these personalities so whenever their demands are met these personalities will call them back from mountains and everything will be all right whereas in reality nothing is so. Such statements are dangerous to national struggles because these could lead misunderstanding in the world about Baloch national struggle and rather than a concrete demand many useless debates take place which obviously go in the favor of the enemy.
Chief Minister’s statement about missing persons not being in the custody of the intelligence agencies is such a lie that strongly annoys. Being in power has closed the eyes of such people or if 2 and a half years back when these people were not in power and intelligence agencies were kidnapping people in Balochistan and releasing one or two after numerous tortures and when these people used to tell their stories (of being tortured) these gentlemen used to strictly condemn (the intelligence agencies) for it. But today since they are in power they are unable to see the killings of their brothers and the rapes of their sisters by the intelligence agencies.
We cannot figure out each word of this statement being a knife cutting Jalil Reki, Iqbal Baloch, Dr. Deen Mohd, Zakir Majeed, Asghar Bangulzai and thousands of other missing persons relatives hearts but we could figure out that after this statement no other mask is left to be revealed on Aslam Raisani. Those people will be ashamed today who used to say that particular person is an honest person but establishment has forced him to give such heart breaking statements like “Baloch missing persons have deliberately gone underground”. In this view another statement from a political alliance pass through which stated soreness that it is not far that tomorrow this gentleman might say that Martyr Ghulam Mohammad and his colleagues committed suicide, Rasool Baksh Mengal with a sharp blade cut his chest and back writing ’Hail Pakistan’ and ’Down to Baloch and BLA’. Dr Allah Nizar beat and chained himself up. The worker of Education Ministry in Mand, Sattar Baloch decorated his body with cigarette burn marks.
The list is very long so lets leave it by just mentioning Shafi Baloch’s case who was in custody for 15-20 days and was later on in condition of half dead thrown near a street corner. He said that they were hanged upside down naked and one bearded Punjabi soldier used to urinate on the faces of Baloch prisoners singing ‘Hail Hail Pakistan!’ and then give them electric shocks on the same urinated wet faces. Along these tortures such threats were also given to them that after their release if they open their mouth and try to tell anyone how they were treated, they shall be killed.
Rather than giving such statement that Baloch missing persons have deliberately gone underground, Chief Minister could have attempted moral courage by saying ‘Intelligence Agencies own imposed government is active in Balochistan and We are helpless‘. This truth is painful but would not have been an example of such carelessness.
Conclusion:
Perhaps for some people Chief Minister’s this statement might have been a shocking one but for us it wasn’t anything new. We have been saying this before that all those who think that Aslam Raisani, Zardari or Nawaz Sharif are honest to Baloch, are in mistake. In fact these people who think so are opportunists and are wondering if they are going to take Raisani’s place after him. Such people in the name of nationalism are sitting in the markets trading nation and nationalism.
In reality any ruler in Islamabad and any government in Baluchistan (under Pakistani rule) being Chief Minister Aslam Raisani or Jamali, Mengal or Zehri, Achakzai or Darzadag, Sarmastani or Hazara everyone will now or then speak Pakistan’s accent and the state policy is that all the nations by force or by greed should be made Pakistanis and all the present coast and resources should be under the occupation of the state, no one should be able to claim its right in any condition.
Those who are unaware of it are the most ignorant people of the world and those who are aware of this and still are insisting to go to parliament with any excuse, we can only pray for such people that they are advised to get rid of such nation enmity.

The Horrendous Bomb Blast in Quetta
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
The issue of Baloch and Balochistan has now attained the attention of entire world community. And it seems that the thinking of world community, towards Baloch issue, is taking a new form and shape. Baloch nation, once punished by British Empire by dividing Balochland into parts for being patriotic and liberalist who defied death to depend their homeland, has compelled world into thinking of new perspectives to address the new requirements and apprehensions, that if a nation adores its identity and homeland in either way, whether in love or hate, is far better than the hired slave, who is all set to do anything for its interests.
Despite being a polarized and backward nation, Baloch are struggling to defend every inch of their homeland to the last drop their blood, even with desperate conditions, the courage, with which it’s confronting two powerful countries, has drawn the attention towards a real power which is capable of providing the world community a rare pleasant opportunity to bring relative peace in the region. That real power is possessed by Baloch nation, if pulled together, can rectify the imbalance of power in the entire region, even after a great chaos. The world community is undergoing through the same punishments by the hand of Iran and Pakistan, which were once inflicted upon Baloch for the sins they have never committed before, albeit under the compulsion of new exigencies. These two countries have plunged the world community into insecurity to the extent that it has now started to regard them scrupulously otherwise. Yet, both countries have the realization, that the world community does not tolerate their double-crossing anymore. Therefore, at state level, both have skillfully started to create new hurdles to detract the world attention towards the real problem.
The announcement of Balochistan package and the program to pacify the Baloch people is nothing more then a time being self deception, so that it could pay full attention towards Afghanistan for inflicting a shameful defeat upon America and its allies as soon as possible, and compelling them to withdraw from Afghanistan leaving behind them the “dirty job”, so that it could sustain its survival for a few more time. Therefore, Pakistani state has now launched a systemic media war against America. On the one hand, at state level rulers talking about unified efforts to tackle the terrorism, on the other, all Pakistan media is engaged in a malicious campaign against America, where hardly an affective program is aired, in which America is not depicted as the biggest Satan in Sketches, songs, and dramas.
In short, America and its allies are hardly being spared in their campaign, but the most dangerous point here is that in this storming propaganda what is emerging out of it, is that once again Islam being used, this famous sentence is widely being used in the media war; “conspiracy is being hatched against Islam”. In this ardent campaign, as if a public opinion is being created to pave the way of a war between Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism, which could be much more lethal for world community then the Al Qaeda and Talban, in the shape of a will organized power.
To say less, it seems that an unnecessary and meaningless hue and cry about Baloch and Balochistan is being created as a part of a wider campaign where it gives a cover to their ‘real intention’ to turn the entire region into a hell for America and its allies.
Apart from all these shenanigans, Balochistan package is nothing more than a jugular box used to get the trained political monkeys of the establishment play deception act. But Baloch nation has abandoned the habit of paying any attention to such a package a long time ago. They are struggling for their survival, for even a slightest moment, Baloch are not oblivious of the fact that jugulars are playing sophisticated tricks to trap them in.
It is not hard to see how biased Islamabad has become in devising this Balochistan package towards Baloch, which has not only been rejected by those who are engaged in different level of struggle for freedom from Iran and Pakistan, but also by those political parties who have not yet abandoned parliamentary politics. Every sentence of this package is implying that Baloch are enslaved by dominant prejudiced Pakistani state. Each and every point of this aforementioned package is a box filled with deception. Had they taken into confidence anyone, then why prime minister and president had to release a press statement that they had taken all into confidence?
According to BNF spokesperson, no political prisoner has been released of the front, except Shafique Baloch. Then what was the necessity of resorting to bluffing in parliament, that “all Baloch missing persons will reach their home from today”? Let alone the thousand missing persons, those who have been taken notice of by prime minister himself have not yet reached their homes. Even worst, after the statement of the prime minister, BSO’s ex vice chairman Sangat Sana and Gaffar Langu along with their friends became the added victims packed up by state agencies. In addition, the martyrdom of 10 BRP innocent workers and almost 25 other injured Baloch in Dera Bugti area are worthy to be mentioned here.
Surpassing all limits of meanness, in the cover of withdrawing the fabricated cases against the workers of BNF, all the cases of criminals have been withdrawn, hired by the government salaried politicians and chieftains.
It must not be forgotten that all political parties in BNF (Balochistan National Front) have constantly demanded that if there are cases against the missing persons, then it is the moral obligation of the government to produce them before the courts. If proven, of course, should be punished.
Similarly regarding the military operation in Balochistan, all tricks of Machiavellian are deployed in broad daylight. The Persian saying that “what happens if an ass comes and a cow goes” is fully justified if said about the announcement of the deployment of the Frontier Corps in the place of regular army in Balochistan. These are the two most sensitive crises which have turned Balochistan into an erupting volcano. If the irresponsible attitude of the government towards these sensitive issues is as such, than it is not hard to imagine what rulars would do with other issues.
In short, no improvement is going to take place in Balochistan situation by this package; however, here rises the question, eventually there comes a result out of this situation, but what kind of a result would emerge?
We believe that Pakistan has to pay a heavy price for the ridiculous jokes, Islamabad used to play with Balochistan. As usual, This Balochistan package is designed to cater to salaried privileged class and ridicule Baloch nation.
Naturally, the people who have been taken in by the government statement would start believing those who have been saying all along, that this package is a jugular box filled with deception.
As consequences, this package, designed to weaken Baloch resistance, would backfire and Baloch youths in a greater number join the resistance movement. There should be no doubt about these facts that the majority would join the ranks of Sarmachars (freedom Fighters) and those who were vacillating so far, would throw their weight behind the pro independent parties and help them to hold successful rallies and protests in cities. It spurs the freedom movement in entire Balochistan to new heights and increases their power of resistance in cities and mountains, and the government grip loosens eventually. The Government stance and the arguments about Balochistan to remain within Pakistan not only would be rendered ineffective, but would rather intensify the unacceptability of Pakistani state.The parties, which are So far bogged in the marsh of opportunism, demanding that three or four subject, should remain with federation and the remaining should be conferred to provinces, not only would be unable to justify their stance, but also would remain silent.
In the event of intensification of the resistance movement, Pakistani forces, out of sheer desperation, would commit such heinous crimes, thereby the hatred increases against Pakistan . It would urge Baloch liberalists within Balochistan and Karachi to close their ranks and draw new strategies. The leadership leaving in abroad, particularly Khair Beyar Marri would have to intensify his activities. His bold and candid speeches, about independent Balochistan in different international forums, have made him a popular leader. Now it is the call of the hour for all political parties in Baloch National Front to jointly persuade him into accepting the job of representing the Baloch nation in abroad. And at the same time it is his job to form a five or seven member’s team, so that it could substantially present Baloch national case for freedom in the international forums in the event of the possible intensity of Pakistan’s volatile situation.
Meanwhile, it is highly possible that BHRC based in London, would get its acts together in a proper manner and disassociate itself from the parties who are bogged in the marsh of opportunistic Pakistani parliamentary politics, demanding the right to self determination, (according to the current situation it is a hypocratic slogan). And it is hoped that it categorically reminds the world about the violation of Baloch human rights and that Baloch on both sides of the border living a slavish life. Along with Eastern Balochistan , pro independent parties in western Balochistan, particularly Baloch Raaji Zrombresht and Baloch Liberation Organization would also get more active, because, nowadays Raaji Zrombrsht leaders are ardently participating in all those programs and seminars where Baloch national Leader Hair Beyar Marri participates. Thus, it is how the government joke (the rights package) would serve as a wakeup call for all hibernating Baloch on both sides of the border to rise on occasion.
The virus of this package is not so potent; one might fear that it would kill off Baloch national movement. But it’s not so, the virus that cannot kill would surly fortified the defensive system of the host body.
It is highly possible that Pakistan’s some of those problems would get exacerbated and go beyond the control of the government, which were once Pakistan’s own making invented to detract the public attention from bigger problems. During all this while the state establishment would be able to avail itself from two fronts; first, in the cover of the chaotic situation, it would allow the Talban’s selected leadership to elapse into save heaven. And on the other side it would succeed in creating loyalty for extremists and hatred for other religions, which would eventually help exhaust American and its ally’s patient about Pakistan. It would be an unexpected surprise for Pakistan. While on the other side, during all this while, the sure footed Baloch national struggle would be moving towards its destination with rather confidence, and the world community would regard Baloch nation as a potent power to bring relative peace in the region.

Mass Murder of Baloch Nation in Karachi
'Killed in the dark alleys of morbid interests'
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
(No power would be able to rule over the souls of Baloch nation, had they learned how to embrace death for the sake of glorious life, instead of running after a miserable life)
What happened in Karachi? If analyzed through Pakistani government point of view, it was an unpleasant happening. It does not matter what they say about the design behind it, but when they start classifying this barbarism in retrospection, at the end they would say, we would not allow such things to happen again in future. But we would not perceive this happening as merely a gory accident or an unpleasant happening, but rather, we say it is one of those wider state policies to liquidate Baloch nation.
Whether it was our blunt perception or the success of Pakistani state's tricks? That we could not reach to the bottom of the conspiracy. There might one of our intellectuals or politicians have brought this fact to light, but it went unnoticed among the throng. The impoverished situation of Baloch in Karachi is no better then the Baloch living in Pakistan and Iran. But it is the misfortunate of the Baloch living Karachi, which lead us to a better understanding that how a state, with its morbid intentions, turn a majority nation into a minority one, and a powerful nation into a weak and disadvantaged one.
Before the creation of Pakistan, Baloch were in majority in Karachi. Today they are not only in minority, but also through different electoral constituencies they are segregated from each other. Their areas of population have been dissected into different parts and annexed with the areas of other ethnic nationalities through a systematic conspiracy to render them ineffective. Obviously, living together, a united Baloch would bring about consciousness and strength; thereby they could have demanded that their national language should be the medium of instruction, not only this, but also they could have been in a position for making a trivial demand that their language, Balochi should be given the opportunity to present programs in radio and TV channels. By the rise of the national awareness, they could have a direct affect on Baluchistan’s volatile situation. In an organized position they could have affectively opposed the atrocities in Balochistan and attracted the world attention.
But here too, the state has rendered them into semi-consciousness by the weapons of poverty, misery and illiteracy.
There occurred no improvement to Balochistan volatile situation. Our leadership could not determine the course of struggle before the start of the fifth war of freedom. Therefore, the Baloch in Karachi could not be given a genuine national slogan. When the pseudo nationalist political parties in Balochistan, started looking towards Islamabad as their Mecca, the Baloch in Karachi , on their own, also turned towards Islamabad for a ray of a hope. As a result, Baloch in Karachi started seeking sanctuary under the umbrella of a big party. The joining of PPP isn't a surprise, as in Baloch culture royalty is highly cherished. In fact Sindhi are the son of sindh soil. Regarding them the true sons of soil, Baloch established good relationship with them. But Baloch failed to perceive the fundamental fact that every sindhi has to be first a (Islamabadi ) if he ever nurtured a desire to become the ruler of Islamabad . Unless he protects the peculiar interests, he should not dream of becoming the prime minister or president of Pakistan.
Apparently, Baloch perceived that Bhutto was a true sindhi and a powerful leader. But Time proved that neither he was a powerful leader nor he was a true sindhi.
Overwhelmed by Pakistaniitism, he desperately sought after the Islamabad’s blessing, but he lost the power and became an oppressed sindhi and later was put in gallows. But the Baloch did not desert his party.
It is the irony of fate that even after the execution of Bhutto, Sindhi failed to perceive the Pakistani state intentions. And suffering from Pakistan’s chronicle syndrome, PPP also failed to draw a better scheme to protect the interests of misfortunate Baloch and sindhis nations. As a result, both sindhi and Baloch are under the oppression of Indian fugitives and have become dependent on them.
Under the instruction of Islamabad, all the demarcations of electoral constituencies in leyari, have been approved by PPP, because it always regards Baloch as its voter, not a nation.
As it has already mentioned that from the outset, the rulers in Islamabad were obsessed with the idea of creating an artificial Pakistani nation. Therefore it became the exigent policy of Pakistan to break the units of all nationalities. With the exception of Punjab, today all other nationalities have been broken into pieces. The rationale behind it was to break the units so sooner as to make easy the process of amalgamation of all units into one unit. In comparison, Punjabis and Muhajers are far better off than the Baloch, Sindhis and Pushtoons by accepting Pakistani nationality. The destitute Muhajirs came in Sindh with their worn out vests. They are neither a nation nor they have any land of their own. But in the name of Islam it has become the ruler of all nations.
How the Punjabi can manage provision for its huge population with its parched saline agricultural land? The mouth watering natural wealth of Balochistan, pakhtoonkhowah and Sindh is so attractive that they can accept any nationality, no question about adapting Pakistani nationality. To Pakistani rulers Baloch is always a persona non grata. The main reason is that this hunger stricken nation will never succumb to Pakistani enticement. (Though a large number have been bribed into accepting Pakistani politics in the name of parliamentary politics) the God gifted Baloch land is bestowed with high valued wealth. Despite the all efforts of Pakistani state to keep Baloch in darkness, Baloch never remained oblivious to the importance of their natural wealth. But Pakistani rulers and their stooge Muhajis know deep in their hearts that they can't obliterate Baloch by operation or genocide. Yet they continue their heinous crimes to test the endurance of Baloch resistance. They scheme in accordance to the same reaction to crush them.
Some friends might think That Leyari tragedy in Karachi, has been schemed by Rehman Malik. At first we were also of the same view, driven by emotion. But in seconds we realized that the attack on Baloch in Karachi isn't an accident, nor it is a personal vendetta, indeed it is a part of a wider failed state policy.
Failures in various sections of Pakistani state are wide spread. However, to hide the state failure, they want to demonstrate to world that they are in control of everything, and that the state writ is intact.
Drones attacks can't be stopped, which have eroded its sovereignty. Despite the desperate plead for American help, it failed to get the Indians on table talk.
The gas and electricity crisis is spiralling out of control, which has now started Punjab economy into a spasmodic contraction. Despite the all efforts, the desperate condition of externally displaced people of Frontier cannot be hidden to the glare of world media. Similarly the tall claim of war success against terrorism has yet needed to be substantiated, but the Talban members in thousands eloped in the air. Where they escaped? The NRO list has made some ministers, including Pakistani president, a sort of walking examples of corruption. The missing person's cases have left government near to death. The beginning of rights of Balochistan package has flatly been rejected by Baloch people. The 58 2 (b) amendment is still a hanging sword over government and the Methack e Mamhuriat(democratic contract) have not been implemented. The unfortunate state of this country has reached to the extent that they just cannot control the unarmed sugar mafia which even defied the Supreme Court orders just like a used tissue paper. To temporally deflect attention towards the entire question of Pakistan failure as a viable state; they had to resort to heinous crimes against innocent Baloch through state sponsored terrorism to change the entire course of debate of Pakistan’s viability. It was also meant to test the Baloch solidarity and to make them realize that if they want to live in Karachi then they should learn how to live under Muhajirs rule. What could be more barbaric and heinous crime in the world of the group who's some members, headed by Rehman Malik, are massacring Baloch, on the other hand, another group headed by Zardari, comes out to show solidarity with Baloch? They white wash their crimes by offering apology and solace. After inflicting deep wounds on Baloch chest, they start announcing rewards packages to pave the way for midterm or local elections.
Meanness did not hesitate to manifest itself; Zardari announces leyari operation off, on the one side, and then on the other, who is shedding Baloch blood so easily? Yet he forgot to punish those who committed these crimes? Yet the killer beasts are still at large. Entire Karachi along with Balochistan is in a mourning state. In the dark and narrow alleys of leyari, the blood stains of Baloch were not yet dry. He announced that Belawal Zardari would contest next election in Leyar. Even though Belawal's father is the president of Pakistan today. His party is in power in both Sindh and centre, yet the Pakistani state wrath befalls Baloch. Then what would happen when he become a MNA or MPA leyai? Were the sacrifices of Baloch not enough for this party, why they have to vote to Zardaris or |Zuficars for the right to live?
There are limits for callousness and apathy, where in broad daylight greed manifesting itself in such a time when entire Baloch nation is in the grip of extreme grief. If they were in need of election, and wanted to assuage the deep wounds of Leyariites, then they could have said that we would bring forth one of the brightest boys from Nesar Baloch and Zahid Baloch family. (Even though it has nothing to do with Baloch national issue) but by the announcement of such a gesture, one could have guessed that, he has some compassion for his people. What was the necessity to shed the blood of innocent Baloch people in such a number to bring forth your boy?
These unfortunate people are already moaning under the oppression of PPP for the past 40 years. But in return, you turned no stone unturned to shatter their national unity into pieces.
The last word: as earlier I had stated that we did not regard the Karachi carnage merely an unpleasant event, but a successive policy of the state. Then in such a condition there arise some questions before the Baloch national leadership, how they can stop this cycle of violence against their nation? How they can manage such an environment where Baloch in Karachi could live in dignity? And how they can preserve their identity which could be an active part of Baloch national struggle? Even to some extent, they could use their ability to play the role of the vanguard of national struggle.
The answer of all these questions is hidden in a political consideration, which is called national politics, and the explanations can be found in the event of Karachi carnage.
The isolated life, that Baloch is living in Karachi, is the best paradigm for those who are not participating in the national struggle for the reasons, that they first educate themselves then struggle for freedom, or those who still want to use parliamentary politics as a weapon.
Since the day Pakistan was created till today; Baloch people in Karachi have become illiterate, unskilled and jobless in the city of schools, colleges, universities and industries, where they were once the ruler of the city. From the beginning Baloch have been participating in Pakistani parliamentary and municipalities' elections etc. despite the use of this mean, they are still the same and no change occurred to Baloch lives, because the state didn't want Baloch to develop itself.
Technical and unnatural hurdles were created on their ways so that they remain subliminally illiterate, unskilled and destitute. The parliamentary weapon did not work, because they were the victims of worst type of conspiracy. Ostensibly, on the one hand, there a few were allowed to benefit so that they remain silent; on the other, they were undermined and eaten by termite like. Some of their lands prosperities were bought and occupied by Muhajirs and Punjabis. Therefore, their lands and alleys are now contracted and narrowed. Trapped in the economic problems, they had no time to see their surroundings. The tips of their toes touch the wall when they stretch their legs; therefore, they have now realized that they are badly trapped. They were punished in extreme terms, when they struggled to get rid of this trap, which was the usual punishment for all those slaves in the world who struggled for freedom.
The rulers punished them so that they do not protest, even when they feel the shortage of oxygen.
Given the current political situation, Baloch nation, no matter wherever they are living, have to adopt now strategies about Karachi. Baloch should not wait for their turns to be killed, and then they become united. instead, they should based their thoughts and actions on the question: what should be extracted, with interests, from the enemy to even the score of atrocities inflicted upon them during 62 years under Pakistani occupation and 82 years under Iranian occupation.

A Brief Analysis of Current Baloch freedom Movement
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Given the current situation of Balochistan, it is easy to acknowledge that Baloch national struggle has achieved tremendous success what Nawab Akber Khan Bugti Balach and Gulam mohamad had envisaged for the freedom movement.
Just five years ago, once again, when the movement was systematically started with some extremely guarded slogans of sovereignty over “coastal and natural resources”,only a few believed that these committed patriots would lead the struggle to that degree.Several old political jugulars and shopkeepers, were of the opinion that these people would go to mountains and fight a few wars with the enemy and then they come down and we would make alliance with them by selling the blood of their martyrs at the rate of votes, it earn us a heavy margin to form a government.Another class of thought was of the opinion that these people would fight but they return back accepting some privileges, or for some other reasons or excuses, they would return back in the name of dialogue.However, Pakistani rulers were suffering from a misconception that these few “miscreants” (as Pakistani military terms them) would not be able to weather Pakistani military power. As far as the public support is concerned, it could be attained through bribes by lavishly spending money. Pakistani rulers were also in the same misconception that as it has blackmailed the international community into the war of terrorism, therefore they would not support Baloch national movement for freedom; thereby it could easily crush Baloch national insurgency which is deprived of external and internal support.However, nothing happened to the dismay of Pakistani rulers. Yet it is admitted that several mistakes have been made by Baloch leadership during this period. Several deficiencies are still lingering. But overall proportion of successes and achievements is highly tremendous and influential.
But here raises the question, to which stage Baloch national movement has reached? Without any hesitation, we would be justified to say that today Baloch national movement has reached the pinnacle of success and to the point of no return; and it has attracted the attention of international community.This is the stage, where the enemy knows well deep in its heart without any ambiguity that Baloch national movement for freedom is the writing on the wall and a genuine one. One can delay it for a few months or years but cannot contain it forever. This is a shock which has plunged occupying forces into a panic, where it’s trying its best to avoid the inevitable defeat by committing genocide of Baloch nation.But history tells us that when colonial power starts applying its barbaric and brutal tools to oppress and the subjugated one tries to regain power to counter the brutes, no one can stop it from regaining its lost sovereignty.There is a famous saying in Pushto that “by force one cannot run the affairs of a village”.So how on earth, both Pakistan and Iran have conceived the wrongful thinking that they can turn Baloch home land into Punjabistan and Gajaristan by custodial killings of Baloch youths and dumping their mutilated dead bodies in desolate places.In this short discussion, we will try to see who has been weighing heavy and who calculated the situation accurately?
Fail attempts of negotiations: With the start of the war, the Pakistani state began to call upon the Baloch freedom fighters for negotiations but the real motive was to deceive them as it did previously. This time it had to face extreme disappointment because the Baloch leadership had learnt from their previous mistakes and was only willing to talk on the basis of one point agenda of independence which the Pakistani state could not digest by any means.The other reason causing disappointment to the Pakistani state was its wrong expectations of Baloch leaders who it thought were leading the current struggle. Those 'wannabe' Baloch leaders (selected by Islamabad) are still awaiting a third party interference may that be Saudi Arabia, UAE or any other country in solving Balochistan conflict, making it an excuse to start negotiations with Pakistan. As Islamabad cannot initiate talks with these leaders knowing that they have no control over the situation in Balochistan, thus they are useless to Islamabad.
Islamabad has been always trying to find out who is the'Man' behind this struggle by asking this poisonous question via its salaried supporters in different forums, but failed. The reason is, it has become necessary for Pakistani state to find the main leaders and martyr them, like it did with Nawab Akbar Khan, Meer Balaach Marri and Ghulam Mohd but there is no need for Baloch to announce their leadership publicly.
Regarding this issue, we had previously mentioned in a sentence in one of our articles that a weak leadership could not carry out a successful rally in the streets, so thinking about it convincing people to sacrifice for a cause is meaningless.
This indicates that Baloch have a strong and sagacious leadership.Another fact of this struggle is that it is not under the supervision of those leaders who were previously fooled by the Pakistani state each time. That is why a few Baloch leaders when issue statements, stink Punjabi accent which can be very clearly visible when they term Baloch freedom fighters as a few emotional teenagers etc. This is actually a jealousy within these leaders that they are no longer able to control the situation.
Egotism of military power, failure: Anywhere in the world, public support is very important for any force whereas in Balochistan the situation is different and the Pakistani forces are facing exactly the opposite. This is somehow a clear victory for Baloch masses that enjoy overwhelming support of the locals in Balochistan i.e. the estimations and expectations of Pakistani rulers (about the situation in Balochistan) have been proven totally false.
With the period of time as the struggle gains more and more momentum and moral support, the intensity of atrocities by the occupying forces would increase too. Then a time comes when world powers will have to involve themselves into the conflict field as they did in Bangladesh case. This is the very same path which led the Pakistani Punjabi forces to kneel down in front of Indian army and were forced to take off their under wares.
Failure in achieving local support: The reaction of people of Balochistan has overturned the desires of Pakistani state in the region. Pakistani state had been expecting flower buckets in response to its atrocities in the occupied land to which the people of Balochistan have not only stood against the tyranny but those who are pro-Islamabad or pro-parliamentarians, are facing severe condemnation.The contribution and cooperation of the (local) people needed to run any government structure has become impossible in Balochistan situation. Targeting governments own high ranking officials like Jan Mohd Dashti and disappearance of hundreds of those who were currently working on govt. jobs, itself justifies the fact that Islamabad does not trusts anybody in Balochistan.Baloch officials posted in different districts in Balochistan are the subservient of the Baloch freedom fighter, is what Islamabad thinks. In such worse conditions of Pakistani mistrust, the question of how long it (Pakistan) could continue such in Balochistan totally depends on the Balochistan independence leadership and the local Baloch.
Failed attempts of labeling Baloch as ‘Terrorists': Like other fields, Pakistani state had to face failure in the attempts to mislead the world to declare Baloch as 'terrorists'.Though the world is not openly favoring the Baloch struggle but the silent support could be easily observed. If it wasn't so, then all those tiny little supportive and sympathetic voices arising from different corners of the world would not be heard in presence of real world opposition (against the Baloch national struggle).
It should be noted here that Pakistan and Iran has left no stone unturned to term Baloch as extremists and separatists. Pakistan is maneuvering for such things at a time when the world community is blackmailed by Pakistan.It has successfully played its Taliban card to pressure US even by using their resources. We should give credit to Pakistani devilish brain for this.As lies are bound to be unveiled, Pakistan can no more double cross the world community by playing double standards. Pakistan’s double standard and unreliability can be beacon light for Baloch national movement. As Baloch movement grow within it will also pave the way externally. There is no need of emergency and immediate results. As Baloch has continued its struggle without international supports, it should carry on likewise. In the future too it should rely on its own strength and should not listen to any external suggestion of slowing and sharpening of its advances.
Besides these adorable facts, there are some issues that without addressing them, the freedom lovers can face additional difficulties for accruing targeted results.There is no doubt that the movement has deepened its roots and has engulfed all corners of Balochistan. Instead of this, immaturity in consciousness in its different centers can be a cause of many obstacles.Fearing the longevity of discussion, as per saying “a word may suffice to a wise man” the presence of unwanted parliamentarians in the centers of freedom lovers in Makaran and especially in its coastal belt is not less than a red alert. Sometimes by the dent of their personal relations and approaches they take such advantage of common folks’ simplicity which makes sacrifices of people doubtful. By doing so, they have their own axes to grind. It cannot be ignored by any mean. There are two incidents that can be taken as examples. The first, a brother of a true resisting “among missing persons” leader declared hunger strike till death without prejudging his capability. But after 48 hours he felt that he was much weaker than those sisters who for months had staged set-in protest in front of Khuzdaar, Quetta, Karachi, Noshki press clubs and his stamina was far less than the old mother of Wadood Raisni, the mother of Baloch nation, who, in her senile age, participated in the hunger strikes and protests; and at last embraced martyrdom and joined the rank of thousands of Baloch martyrs. The brother of the missing person should have evaluated his stamina before staging a hunger strike. If he had to break his hunger strike, at least he should not have taken the glass of juice from the hand of National Party leaders to break the strike, which is equally involved in all crimes of abduction of missing persons and killings of political workers, including his brother, and being used as an instrument to subdue the freedom struggle.Wasn’t there any worker of BNM, BRP, and BSO azad in Gwader to break that strike which was directly related to enormous sacrifices of the missing person? National Party, along with all other pro Pakistani parliamentary parties, is a partner in crimes with Pakistani state in the massacre of Baloch nation.
I don’t know when this bitter reality dawn on such people that the main object of enforced disappearances and the annihilating of true political workers is to pave the way for the pro parliamentarians.Any participation of these parties in the programs of pro independent parties should be considered as a sabotaging act, because this participation provide them an opportunity of photo session for public consumption which shows that they are in the national struggle, and it ultimately earns them vote in elections with a big margin, which negate the sacrifices of our missing persons and the martyred ones. On another occasion in a Balochi cultural program in Turbat, we saw that government’s Representatives Dr Malik and Mulla Ismail were active as if they were the torch bearer of Sarmachars and martyrs.At the same time diversionary statements were issued to newspapers at the behest of them. The satanic tactic of National Party in Gwader is not under discussion here in which it purposely divide and diverted the huge funeral procession of Lala Hameed into different alleys just to belittle its significance. In short, unless and until these parties have dispensed with Pakistani parliamentary politics and agreed on single agenda of freedom, the more the pro independent parties distance themselves from them it would be the more better for the pro freedom movement.And it would be a service of recognition of the sacrifices of the Sarmachars.Conditions of resignation from pro parliamentary parties should be layout for those people who are interested in stepping over the stage of the pro independent forces.
Need for reconsidering of policies against the loots of Baloch resources:Today, when in Islamabad reservations are expressed against closure of Punjab’s 500 factories due to unavailability of supply of gas, we can easily judge that Baloch Sarmachars have greatly succeeded in halting merciless plundering of Baloch resources. Besides this, the resources in saindak, Rekodik and Jhalawan are being looted in full vigor. This is an important strategic question that can’t be neglected at any cost.It is necessary to halt the exploitation and loot of Saindak, Rekodik and Jhalawan resources because it will greatly put an end to the Chinese interests that in turn will be tantamount to cutting Pakistan’s main nerve. Those who erroneously suggest for disturbing NATO and Allied Forces chain of supply should consider the fact that china is not only Pakistan’s friend but also equally involved in plundering the resources of Balochistan. On the other hand NATO and Allied Countries do give aids to Pakistan through international agreements but they also put Pakistan’s neck under the sword of IMF. Not only twice bigger culprit China is plundering Baloch resources with impunity but also it is setting examples and encouraging other countries to invest in Balochistan by entering into mutual international trade agreements with Pakistan.There are also no obstacles against plundering and looting of Baloch resources in other parts of Balochistan. Therefore those odious faces involved in plundering are still hidden from the eyes common Baloch people. They do give statements against it but they don’t feel any shame against their own equal involvement. Putting hindrance against them may help in unveiling their true faces, and they may no more be able to put the people in dark.NATO and USA can be the first natural allies of Baloch against china’s expansionist and aggressive policies. By considering this fact, the Baloch leaders should formulate their policies accordingly. It also should be noted here that Baloch leadership should not be submissive to any power. They should make policies on the basis of mutual respects and for maximization of their national interests. These will surely accrue desired results for both Baloch and its Allies.
The Importance of Unity: Occasionally, contradictory position has been observed in some areas of the struggle particularly among pro independent forces. It indicates a bad omen for those forces that are the direct target of the state terrorism. Even a slightest misunderstanding can be exploited by the crafty state agencies to create rift among nationalist forces which could expand the distances.The only thing that can prevent us from making mistake is to avoid making hasty decision without any precise knowledge, which could lead us to blunder.Because of this lake of disunity and the lake of order in work, we saw a sharp contrast in the statements issued by different leadership of BNF. Here we do not want to dismay our friends, but this bitter reality exists. And it requires immediate attention. It is worth mentioning here that when we talk about unity in the ranks of Baloch leadership, our attention directly goes to those who are advocating and believe in the ideology of Freedom of Balochistan. We strongly believe that those Baloch, who have not yet practically disconnected themselves from Pakistan, are unworthy to be considered as friends. First of all, those who advise for unity should ask them to abandon Pakistani parliamentary politics, Instead of advising the pro independent forces for unity. They should keep it in their mind that how they can be accommodated in the ranks of pro independent forces that are unwilling to relinquish the wrong and useless politics of Pakistan?
To chastise the pro-Islamabad Baloch politicians and increasing the public pressure, first of all BNF has to create extraordinary harmony within its ranks. And they will have to demolish some of their little mosques; otherwise all will end up at a loss.The last word: we need to bring into debate our losses and the successes in detail, because, if we look at them meticulously, the list will be very large. But being short of time, we wrap up our debate and we emphasize that pro independent forces and the public needed to be perseverance, agreeable and united. But when we have to chosen one out the three, the priority should go to perseverance, as it is the substitute of pragmatism. One can learns lesson from the inefficiencies during the process. This eventually paves the way of unity and agreement, and synchronizes the essentials of the struggle.

Saba Dashtiyar, the Beacon of Baloch National Movement.
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Balochistan has completely been turned into a killing ground, from July last year up to now 200 mutilated dead bodies of Baloch youths has been received by Baloch nation. Eighty percent of them are among 29 to 18. Hardly there is any area in Balochistan where it did not receive its share of mutilated bead bodies of Baloch youths. Now the question is that why it is happening. Lot of other questions emerge what were their sins? Who are these people? What was their ideology they believed in? How many of them were common people? What is the number of leaders and the workers? Who were the intellectuals and the literary people, etc.
In this article it is not possible to encompass all these questions but let us directly treat the two questions which are very important keeping in view the assassination of Saba Dashtiyari. First why it is being so? And why Baloch intellectuals become victim of target killing?
The answer of first question is that Pakistan reading the written wall that Balochistan is drifting away from its control. Therefore, it thinks what its doing is very intelligent. But I think it is foolishness. But in a brief analysis, one can understand why the Baloch intellectuals are being killed? It is the proof of the fact that Pakistani state has failed in all other tactics in Balochistan, therefore, its carnage has now reached to the intellectual strata of the Baloch society, with an adamant policy of fruitless attempts, it has started to blind the eyes of Baloch society.
At the beginning, the big leaders were its targets, including Nawab Akber Khan Bugti, Shaheed Balach Marri, Shaheed Gulam Mohamad, along with several other top leaders, and then came the turn of cadres, in thousands were picked up. From April 9th 2009 onwards, up until now the dumping of mutilated bodies of Baloch youths is continuing. In a common situation, if 13000 outstanding sons of a small nation (this fact is not under discussion here how the colonial powers divided big nation like Baloch into three minorities of three countries) were made to disappear, the list of their names is provided by the Voice for Baloch Missing Persons and among them 26 bodies are beyond recognition, and their tortured dead bodies keep constantly appearing on roadsides: two things likely to happen, either they would be cowed into submission, or bravely keep their fighting against tyranny. But, they could not suppress the Baloch national movement. Not only is it vigorously forging ahead, but also attained a great momentum. The public ceremoniously bury their national martyrs shrouded with flag of free Balochistan After fulfilling the ceremonies of Islamic ritual of burial. And the Public recite the national anthem of Baloch nation, “We are the sons of Baloch nation”, on their cemetery. And the hair of the martyrs systemically issue statements and say that they are proud of what their sons did, that their sons have embraced the martyrdom for the noble cause of freedom movement that we want to tell Pakistan that we are not saddened at the martyrdom of our sons. Majeed Lango’s mother sacrificed her three beloved sons on the path of freedom movement. Rasool Baksh embraced martyrdom along with his brother. Both, Asim and Tariq were brothers. And several other martyrs, from every other home in Balochistan have taken place, and among them are children and elderly women and men. But every time they say that they never back down from offering sacrifices for the motherland. That Pakistan would not be able to dampen the well of freedom.
The thing that has troubled Pakistan the most is that it cannot destroy the national ideology of Baloch nation despite having atom bombs and other sophisticated weapons. It can kill people with guns but can’t put an end to the ideology. Now in such situation the only option remains for Pakistan is that to see towards opinion makers. In other words, the intellectuals, in the beginning they were tried for courtship, when they refused, they were intimated into silence. When both tactics failed, it started killing them just like the colonial powers did in the past, because they could not face arguments. The same thing is happening in Balochistan today. At the beginning the Balochi poet Mubarak Qazi and Dr Haneer Sharif and many more were made disappeared. Dr Alla Nazir was one amongst many who appeared before Public after inhuman tortures. They were booked in false cases. The Intention was to intimidate them into slavish submission; as at that time the freedom movement was not that progressed as it is today. Therefore, the state policy at that time was to punish them.
When it did not work, they started to suffocate those two daily newspapers which were covering the events in their true spirits and giving space to those opinion makers in an appropriate manner who were declared by state as traitors. Both newspapers were deprived of public advertisements. But despite all this they refused to be cowed.
After several threats and intimidations, on January 23, 2009 the owner of Dailyassap Jan Mohmad Dashti was fataly attacked, but it was a miracle that he defeated the dead. Even after such assaults Assap newspaper continued its publishing. But there came the day when the FC attacked its Head office in Quetta. After that it ceased to coming to its reader. So far the so called Pakistani media freedom fighters never said a single word against this aggression of Baloch Media. They seem to be fasting against the ban of Assap. This was how the DailyAssap was smashed under the boots of Pakistani military in the so called era of democracy.
Dailytawar is constantly being threatened; the reason why the impending attack on its office is delayed is that it’s located in Karachi. And it is a fact, that the forces in Karachi lack the power that they have in Balochistan. However, during this time not only the journalists are being killed but also the phenomenon of killing of them is on increase. The intellectuals and writers are the most victims of targeted killings after the active political workers. Naseer Kamalan, lala Hameed, Qamber Chaker, Rahmat Shaheen, Alyas Nazer, Hameed Shaheen and Ahmed Dad were not only political workers but also they had a contribution of literary works and they were among the serious people of Baloch society. The prominent intellectual Gous Bahar and Qazi Dad homes were several times raided. False cases have been filed against them. So far, it is their good luck that they have escaped the death.
It is unfortunate that there are some pro parliamentary elements from Balochistan government with Islamabad involved in this heinous game, been put together under the umbrella of PPCC by the ISI. They have the undeclared official consent of these pro parliamentary elements to spread terror in Baloch society. Saba Dashtary Knew this unholy formation of elements, and he openly spoke against them and said that the colonial state is engaged in terminating the genuine nationalist leadership so that the way is paved for pseudo nationalist who monger for provincial autonomy and right to self-determination. The first thing that can be deduced from the state policy with its stooges is that they have so far failed to understand the Baloch crisis. Therefore, according to their thinking the Baloch resistance is fuelled by foreign powers. These are the intellectuals who are playing the key role of nurturing the same thinking of the people who are willing to stand against the state. As a result it doesn’t continue for long, the problem would be forgotten and the Baloch and Baluchistan’s real issue would remain obscured behind media Blackout about which, Pakistani media has already maintained a criminal silence. The silence would prevail from all four sides as usual and, during this time, it doesn’t matter how much Baloch people are killed and because world would know nothing about it. Neither there remains anybody to logically present the case against the Pakistani crimes it perpetrating in Balochistan; hence the control over the situation. All those journalists and intellectuals were killed majority of them were pro freedom, except the pro internal autonomy, Waja Jan Mohmand Dashti. In the form of intellectual guidance Saba Dashtiyari was driving force behind the political maneuvers. That is way the pro freedom party BNM bestowed upon him the title of national pride ‘The Teacher of National Freedom Movement’.
And BLA decorated him with the title of ‘the Beacon of Freedom’. It shows how important Saba Dashtiari was for the freedom movement.Who is the killers of him and his colleague.

The announcement of Balochistan package
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
The issue of Baloch and Balochistan has now attained the attention of entire world community. And it seems that the thinking of world community, towards Baloch issue, is taking a new form and shape. Baloch nation, once punished by British Empire by dividing Balochland into parts for being patriotic and liberalist who defied death to depend their homeland, has compelled world into thinking of new perspectives to address the new requirements and apprehensions, that if a nation adores its identity and homeland in either way, whether in love or hate, is far better then the hired slave, who is all set to do anything for its interests.Despite being a polarized and backward nation, Baloch are struggling to defend every inch of their homeland to the last drop their blood, even with desperate conditions, the courage, with which it’s confronting two powerful countries, has drawn the attention towards a real power which is capable of providing the world community a rare pleasant opportunity to bring relative peace in the region. That real power is possessed by Baloch nation, if pulled together, can rectify the imbalance of power in the entire region, even after a great chaos. The world community is undergoing through the same punishments by the hand of Iran and Pakistan, which were once inflicted upon Baloch for the sins they have never committed before, albeit under the compulsion of new exigencies. These two countries have plunged the world community into insecurity to the extent that it has now started to regard them scrupulously otherwise. Yet, both countries have the realization, that the world community does not tolerate their double-crossing anymore. Therefore, at state level, both have skillfully started to create new hurdles to detract the world attention towards the real problem.The announcement of Balochistan package and the program to pacify the Baloch people is nothing more then a time being self deception, so that it could pay full attention towards Afghanistan for inflicting a shameful defeat upon America and its allies as soon as possible, and compelling them to withdraw from Afghanistan leaving behind them the "dirty job", so that it could sustain its survival for a few more time. Therefore, Pakistani state has now launched a systemic media war against America. On the one hand, at state level rulers talking about unified efforts to tackle the terrorism, on the other, all Pakistan media is engaged in a malicious campaign against America, where hardly an affective program is aired, in which America is not depicted as the biggest Satan in Sketches, songs, and dramas.In short, America and its allies are hardly being spared in their campaign, but the most dangerous point here is that in this storming propaganda what is emerging out of it, is that once again Islam being used, this famous sentence is widely being used in the media war; "conspiracy is being hatched against Islam". In this ardent campaign, as if a public opinion is being created to pave the way of a war between Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism, which could be much more lethal for world community then the Al Qaeda and Talban, in the shape of a will organized power.To say less, it seems that an unnecessary and meaningless hue and cry about Baloch and Balochistan is being created as a part of a wider campaign where it gives a cover to their 'real intention' to turn the entire region into a hell for America and its allies.Apart from all these shenanigans, Balochistan package is nothing more than a jugular box used to get the trained political monkeys of the establishment play deception act. But Baloch nation has abandoned the habit of paying any attention to such a package a long time ago. They are struggling for their survival, for even a slightest moment, Baloch are not oblivious of the fact that jugulars are playing sophisticated tricks to trap them in.It is not hard to see how biased Islamabad has become in devising this Balochistan package towards Baloch, which has not only been rejected by those who are engaged in different level of struggle for freedom from Iran and Pakistan, but also by those political parties who have not yet abandoned parliamentary politics. Every sentence of this package is implying that Baloch are enslaved by dominant prejudiced Pakistani state. Each and every point of this aforementioned package is a box filled with deception. Had they taken into confidence anyone, then why prime minister and president had to release a press statement that they had taken all into confidence?According to BNF spokesperson, no political prisoner has been released of the front, except Shafique Baloch. Then what was the necessity of resorting to bluffing in parliament, that "all Baloch missing persons will reach their home from today"? Let alone the thousand missing persons, those who have been taken notice of by prime minister himself have not yet reached their homes. Even worst, after the statement of the prime minister, BSO's ex vice chairman Sangat Sana and Gaffar Langu along with their friends became the added victims packed up by state agencies. In addition, the martyrdom of 10 BRP innocent workers and almost 25 other injured Baloch in Dera Bugti area are worthy to be mentioned here.Surpassing all limits of meanness, in the cover of withdrawing the fabricated cases against the workers of BNF, all the cases of criminals have been withdrawn, hired by the government salaried politicians and chieftains.It must not be forgotten that all political parties in BNF (Balochistan National Front) have constantly demanded that if there are cases against the missing persons, then it is the moral obligation of the government to produce them before the courts. If proven, of course, should be punished.Similarly regarding the military operation in Balochistan, all tricks of Machiavellian are deployed in broad daylight. The Persian saying that "what happens if an ass comes and a cow goes" is fully justified if said about the announcement of the deployment of the Frontier Corps in the place of regular army in Balochistan. These are the two most sensitive crises which have turned Balochistan into an erupting volcano. If the irresponsible attitude of the government towards these sensitive issues is as such, than it is not hard to imagine what rulars would do with other issues.In short, no improvement is going to take place in Balochistan situation by this package; however, here rises the question, eventually there comes a result out of this situation, but what kind of a result would emerge? We believe that Pakistan has to pay a heavy price for the ridiculous jokes, Islamabad used to play with Balochistan. As usual, This Balochistan package is designed to cater to salaried privileged class and ridicule Baloch nation.Naturally, the people who have been taken in by the government statement would start believing those who have been saying all along, that this package is a jugular box filled with deception.As consequences, this package, designed to weaken Baloch resistance, would backfire and Baloch youths in a greater number join the resistance movement. There should be no doubt about these facts that the majority would join the ranks of Sarmachars (freedom Fighters) and those who were vacillating so far, would throw their weight behind the pro independent parties and help them to hold successful rallies and protests in cities. It spurs the freedom movement in entire Balochistan to new heights and increases their power of resistance in cities and mountains, and the government grip loosens eventually. The Government stance and the arguments about Balochistan to remain within Pakistan not only would be rendered ineffective, but would rather intensify the unacceptability of Pakistani state.The parties, which are So far bogged in the marsh of opportunism, demanding that three or four subject, should remain with federation and the remaining should be conferred to provinces, not only would be unable to justify their stance, but also would remain silent.In the event of intensification of the resistance movement, Pakistani forces, out of sheer desperation, would commit such heinous crimes, thereby the hatred increases against Pakistan . It would urge Baloch liberalists within Balochistan and Karachi to close their ranks and draw new strategies. The leadership leaving in abroad, particularly Khair Beyar Marri would have to intensify his activities. His bold and candid speeches, about independent Balochistan in different international forums, have made him a popular leader. Now it is the call of the hour for all political parties in Baloch National Front to jointly persuade him into accepting the job of representing the Baloch nation in abroad. And at the same time it is his job to form a five or seven member's team, so that it could substantially present Baloch national case for freedom in the international forums in the event of the possible intensity of Pakistan 's volatile situation.Meanwhile, it is highly possible that BHRC based in London, would get its acts together in a proper manner and disassociate itself from the parties who are bogged in the marsh of opportunistic Pakistani parliamentary politics, demanding the right to self determination, (according to the current situation it is a hypocratic slogan). And it is hoped that it categorically reminds the world about the violation of Baloch human rights and that Baloch on both sides of the border living a slavish life. Along with Eastern Balochistan , pro independent parties in western Balochistan, particularly Baloch Raaji Zrombresht and Baloch Liberation Organization would also get more active, because, nowadays Raaji Zrombrsht leaders are ardently participating in all those programs and seminars where Baloch national Leader Hair Beyar Marri participates. Thus, it is how the government joke (the rights package)
would serve as a wake up call for all hibernating Baloch on both sides of the border to rise on occasion.The virus of this package is not so potent; one might fear that it would kill off Baloch national movement. But its not so, the virus that can not kill would surly fortified the defensive system of the host body.It is highly possible that
Pakistan's some of those problems would get exacerbated and go beyond the control of the government, which were once Pakistan's own making invented to detract the public attention from bigger problems. During all this while the state establishment would be able to avail itself from two fronts; first, in the cover of the chaotic situation, it would allow the Talban's selected leadership to elapse into save heaven. And on the other side it would succeed in creating loyalty for extremists and hatred for other religions, which would eventually help exhaust American and its ally's patient about Pakistan . It would be an unexpected surprise for Pakistan . While on the other side, during all this while, the sure footed Baloch national struggle would be moving towards its destination with rather confidence, and the world community would regard Baloch nation as a potent power to bring relative peace in the region.

Calling for trials of Baloch Sarmachars ;
The symptoms of the historic deception
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
A story lead to another , that when someone happens to see the statements of Balochistan’s chief minister Nawab Aslam Raeesani and agedly respected elder leader Sardar Attaulla Mengal , two things will simeltenously come to mind. The first that when a women went along with her husband in a foreign land. After sometimes, a compatriot once came to see her. She asked him about his land. The guest gave her the good news, “your father has become the chieftain of the tribe.” The seemingly happy news made the woman weep desperately. The nearby people said her with sympathy, “you should be happy because your father is now Sardar ,and what make you the poor fellow to weep now.” She replied. ‘‘I am weeping because when they have made my father the Sardar, it means all the good ones have died before that it comes my father’s turn.”
Whoever has listened or watched the interview of Nawab Aslam Raeesani with BBC must have thought , and when the likely disrespect of the elder Sardar Menagal in the public eyes dawn upon me , I feel how lucky was Sher Muhammad Marri that he died at the right time . Otherwise how degraded would he be , like Wadeera Hazar Khan Bijarani , guarded by levies and FC in Thad’di.
Perhaps very few know the reality that Mir Sher Mohd Marri played the key role in metamorphosising Baloch into Gazzini and Bijaran when they returned from Afghanistan while they left Balochistan as Baloch. The enemity which Mir Hazar Bijarani made his sole justification to handover him to the military by forming a levies of brave Baloch begain in Kabul when Sardar Sher Mohd Marri asked Sardar Marri for division of arms and ammunition. In nutshell , while returning from Kabul Mir Sher Mohd was of the opinion that Baloch was withdrawing from the war and returning to Balochistan , the arms collected during the period must be distributed . He knew very well that he would claim the biggest share as Sardar of Bijrani clan which was more in number than Gazzini clan. On the other hand, Khair Bux Marri was of the opinion that they were truly going back but that did not mean that there would not be a possible need of collective arms again.
Therefore whatever they gathered wherever in the name the movement should be kept as property of the movement. Time has proven it now that Khair Bux knew very well that if these arms were scattered once, their timely assembling would hardly be possible. By such a division of arms, some notables woul keep a few common Marri armed with Kalashnikovs, other would be wasted being sold. As the sardar supreme commander it was his duty not to let happen it in this way, he remarked. Many other issues also followed thereafter but it was central point on which they aparted their way from Sardar Marri. Today, Sherov Marri is no more but his differences did not go beyond Sardar Marri and therefore his timely death saved him from degradation before Baloch people. What if he went too beyond like Mir Hazar khan? While now people remembering Shero wish that if he were alive, he would never become a puppet of the government, and Chamalang would never be sold worthlessly. This conditiontional” case” has made Shero Marri be recalled as guerrilla commander of 60s and 70s while Mir Hazar Khan as commander of 70s and today a paid government Major.
Declaring the historic anti-national sentence, Sardar Atta ullah has barred any chance of conditional “case”. His words are: “what these guys do, they kill some Punjabis daily is wrong and I never justify such acts. Whoever’s hand behind this, government should arrest and trial them. They should be punished legally.” Having given a call for trial of the Baloch , how friendly he suggested the government over its brutalities, and his selection of words is to be read carefully. “The government which claims for the protection of the rights and security of people must act more prudently…. Arresting any innocent, killing him after torcher, dumping his decomposed body on the road and, calling it as your gift is not an act of a civilized government”
Terming the conscious struggle of Shaheed Akbar Bugti , Shaheed Balach , Shaheed Ghulam Mohd and hundreds of other martyred baloch , young and old, as emotional sentimentalism and teaching their followers a terrible lesson in his statement , he would have better remained silent instead. He has also expressed his views against Baloch Fighters several times befor this statements which were later modified by his shrewd followers by changing the orders of words to get him a face saved and to give an impact felt that the Sardar’s political party is gradually tilting towards demanding freedom, and lest exploiting and misinterpretations of his statements should bar him joining Baloch Nation independent movement.
It can easily be figured out by analyzing the way he expressed his views on Baloch Movement in his statement that what BNP will do after coming into power because it has no objection over killings, and also calls for trial of Baloch. It has only reservations over the modus operandi which is harshly uncivilized.
The people who were fed up of the father, who used to steal the coffins of the dead from graveyard, let us see what his son will do to them. We can only derive a conclusion, when BNP comes to rule Baluchistan, with its slogan of the right of self determination.
It is to be noted that what BNP culpably calls for while being out of power ,was never demanded even by Asalam Raeesani when he was in opposition. Instead he always demanded for stopping state atrocities over Baloch and even like Sardar Sanaullah Zehri wept his crocodile tears over it. He lost his sight after he has come into power that he could not see the dead bodies of Baloch and forceful violations of their code of honor by forces. They do see “the guys” who are bravely resisting against occupier’s treading on their centuries old traditions and thousands years of history, and thier fearlessness to sacrifice their lives like what their forefathers Hamal Kalmati and Mir Mehrab Khan did. And today, toeing the line of the oppressors, one Nawab terms them terrorists, and another proposes their discriminate killings.
Before concluding this discussion, we shoud give primary focus to this argument that Nawab Raeesani always rubs salt on the Baloch’s wounds by giving thoughtless statements for placating IG FC , but what makes the eldest Mengal to give such statements?
The reality is that the statements of elder and younger Mengals have been issued in an uniformed order for the last two consecutive years. Whenever Sardar Akhtar Mengal gives an interview to Pakistani Media where he expresses his feding up with Pakistan, and interpretes the right of self determination, it is immediately followed by a explanatory discussion of Sardar Attaullah with journalist some times in Noshki, Panjgoor and Kharan where he reiterates to hit the headlines of newspaper that only solution to Balochisatn issue is that Islamabad should transfer all ministires to the provinces except the three ministries. Such distortion in the meaning of the right of self determinations is aimed at assuring Islamabad what their “brand of right of self determination” means and to make Islamabad believe that the statements of these young men do not hold water, and that the supreme command of the party still lies with him.
This time also when an purposeless letter of Sardar Akhtar Mengal written to Ban Ki Mon hit the headlines of newspapers,the Sardar , grasping the fragility of the matter promptly issued his statement before Islamabad showed its unhappiness over commiting a serious mistake by making an internal issue an international issue ,and the very dangerous game of crossing the boundaries of Pakistani parliamentary poilitics in his letters and messages .
However, he could also have demanded the trail of killers of baloch people and teaching them terrible lessons, he did not do this because he knew very well that doing so will annoy Islamabad and thereby it will become a part of his party policies.
Conclusion:
There is a striking similarity in the statements of IG FC, Nawab Aslam Raeesani and Sardar Atta ullah Menagal that Balochistan issue will never be solved and there will never be peace without eliminating “the few violent heads.” A deep analysis of the statement reveals that they are all part of the same chain and unless the chain is broken , they will all keep talking about the same ends. The chain is their relations to Pakistan. Sardar Attaulla Mengal or any other leader will never truly represent the baloch unless they call for ending Pakistan occupation and independence of Balochistan.
Some people may raise the question that why the interests of Baloch people cant be fulfilled while being a part of Pakistan. The simple answer is that the state of Pakistan is antithesis to the state of Balochistan, and it conspires to eliminate Baloch nation. No power , whether consciously or unconsciously , being a part of conspiracy of its national antithesis and thereby giving the defacto situation a dejure status , can defend its national interests. Then , how Sardar Attaulla Mengal or anybody else can defend its national status being against of this basic principle. In nutshell, if they don’t perceive the things in this angle, their all potentials will be waisted and their every action will end in bringing dishonor to them. And, the scholars like Dr Naguman will keep reiterating the famous Balochi saying “pit k pit ey bot’en maat gon ramag a gon nabot”
(An honorable husband will never let his wife flock the sheeves.)

Insist on participation in the Baloch national movement--avoid misleading interpretations of terminology
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
(Baloch Qaumi Tehreek Mein Sherkat Par Asraar, Aur Durust Lafzo Ki Ghalat Tashreeh Ki Takraar)
Following the Baloch massacre in Noshrowan and an indiscriminate trail of murders, the Baloch are once again facing scrutiny. In today’s technologically advanced world, the ruin of a nation is easy to accomplish due to human fallibility and the wide availability of lethal weapons within arms reach. Iran and Pakistan, well aware of this, have initiated an undeclared genocide on the Baloch nation that makes Baloch lives even more miserable.
The Baloch have risked everything in this current war for survival and they have no options left. Even if the Baloch pledge allegiance to Iran and Pakistan, they still face the same threats, so the Baloch have only one path open to them--the arduous path to freedom that they now travel. Yet despite this dreadful situation, some Baloch political parties are part of the struggle in name only. Even daily cases of young Balochs going missing fail to neither capture their attention--nor do bodies hanging from trees or people's sky-tearing cries open their eyes or jolt their 'Balochism.'
Despite witnessing perdition all around, these people do not tire of calling for unity (by now empty words), even though circumstances made it clear long ago that everyone should participate in the struggle according to their respective strengths. Apparently this contradiction is above the logic of an ordinary Baloch--that we all talk about Baloch and Balochistan, but are yet unable to reach agreement on the single point that saving our motherland is the first priority, and only then should we advance our own interests and ideas.
Despite the willingness of all political parties to play a role in halting the ongoing genocide, why do all political parties fail to agree on a single point, and instead move along separate paths?
This is the basic point--it has been discussed several times, but it needs further elaboration because now, in addition to the BNF, BNP Mengal's party leaders have likewise become the victims of state target killings. Feeling the drama of direct state aggression against its political leaders, the National Party, too, will sometimes issue a statement warning that its party leaders are unsafe, even though the role of the National Party (NP), peaceful political struggle advocate that it is, is really that of the running jackal of the jungle who, after hearing news of an order to massacre elephants, runs himself.
The story goes: Some asked: ‘Everything okay, Jackal? Why are you running? The jackal replied: ‘Dear! The king has ordered that all elephants be killed!’ The questioner asked curiously: ‘The king has announced orders to kill elephants. You are a jackal, why do you have to run?!’
The jackal thought arguing with this “muddleheaded person” was just waste of time, so he continued running, saying: ‘Who knows? Maybe someone will mistake us for a baby elephant and kill us!’
Previously, whereas only parties included in the BNF were direct targets of state aggression, now BNP Mengal, too, is included in the list, thus enlarging the list of martyrs for the useless demand of the right of self-determination.
In this article, we will consider the potential reasons for the roadblock that prevents any kind of coalition from forming among these parties for a superficial look would suggest that the BNP Mengal party should not have any problem joining the pro-independence movement, and deep consideration shows that other parties would follow its lead.
Unfortunately, however, these parties will not be effective or cooperative participants in the pro-independence movement till they dare to use the real meanings of the terminology involved, which at present, change with the speaker.
When Nawab Khair Baksh Marri, for example, announces that the Baloch nation should get ready to 'die' for the sake of its survival, the meaning of this statement is taken at face value--that Nawab Khair Baksh clearly thinks the Baloch nation’s survival is dependent on its independence and that the Baloch has to has to do everything in its power to get rid of its Punjabi and Gajars (Fars) rulers. If a similar statement is issued by Sardar Ataullah Mengal, however, the next day a note of clarification in the newspapers is issued--from all corners--stating that the center should relinquish its hold on the provinces and keep only three administrations under its control, as if the term ‘dying’ is a 'struggle' for provincial autonomy. Whether BNP Mengal demands ‘provincial autonomy’ or ‘right of self-determination’it doesn’t matter, because their demand is so clear that it could never be confused with the demand for independence. In fact, calling for the right of self-determination would be an improvement.
Regarding the Baloch genocide, statements are equally misleading, e.g. no pro-independence party has ever accused the Pakistani establishment of genocide, rather it holds the state responsible for the barbarism. Whereas the pro-parliamentarians, under their blanket of slavish backwardness, accuses the establishment, i.e., any political party that is in power. Very rarely in Baloch society, except when under some political pressure, do such people use the term of ‘slavery.' Are they so literally doltish that they do not understand that the solution to slavery is freedom? Or else the possibility remains that they will always participate in elections and their aim is their own structure of provincial government.
When the pro-independence movement calls for collective ways of struggle, they mean to include, along with the armed struggle, all democratic methods in the shape of demonstrations and public gatherings so that more and more people become aware of the Pakistani state's bad deeds and are convinced to participate in Balochistan’s independence struggle. Whereas the exact same statement’s meaning as understood by the pro-parliamentarians is to let the armed struggle carry on in the mountains and they shall support them in parliament. Stating so, they forget that their participation in the parliament undermines the armed struggle in the freedom movement. Their participation in parliament supports the Pakistani colonization of Balochistan, legalizing and submitting to it--even though they are well aware of the fact that participation in the struggle is possible without staying in power. They would never relinquish power because they have accepted the division and occupation of the Baloch land. Such people’s demands are no more than ‘hail he who gives, hail he who doesn’t!’
Both pro-independence and pro-parliament supporters express their willingness to negotiate with the Pakistani state, but their definition of negotiation varies. When pro-independence supporters express a willingness to talk, they start with a single point agenda of independence. The pro-parliament supporters, however, interpret negotiations to mean discussing the issue of control and call upon Saudi Arabia, UAE or sometimes the UN to play a third party role. Beyond these demands, they are not clear. This conclusion can easily be drawn by considering the comments of a former BNP senator who, once on a TV program, scaled down the issue of Balochistan’s independence to that of a Musharraf-Nawaz grievance, prepared to hand it over to an Arab Shaikh for resolution.
With regards to the missing persons issue, the stands of both parties differ widely. For pro-independence supporters, the issue of missing persons is as important as the issue of their treatment--are their conditions worse in the torture cells because of their political beliefs and demands? The pro-parliamentarians are, on the other hand, concerned about the release of missing persons because it is a necessary step in order to rebuild confidence in the state among the Balochs, so that the pro-parliament supporters can again talk to Islamabad in the name of the Baloch, elicit an apology for all that happened and assure that it will never be repeated. They desire a rapprochement in order that they themselves avoid being disappeared and martyred like Ghulam Muhammad and his colleagues.
‘Martyrs blood will not go to waste’ maintains this dual meaning on the parts of both parties. Pro-independence supporters claim this with the understanding that Baloch are seeking the independence of Balochistan. Pro-parliament supporters employ this phrase in order to gather more and more votes under their arms. Our explanation of terms might shock some friends, but this is the truth. These people coming up for election and re-election will surely mention the sacrifices of the martyrs. Consciously or unconsciously, they will convert the blood of Baloch martyrs into a begging pot, asking people to cast their votes for people are in a collision course with the Baloch national freedom movement.
‘No more to iniquity’ bears a dual meaning, as well. Pro-independence supporters defend this with full force, while pro-parliamentarians have been saying this continuously for the last 5 years, but in practical terms, mean it only during photo sessions in front of Press Clubs or on some special occasions while speaking on a stage, as if the meaning of ‘no more to iniquity’ refers to future incidents.
The meaning of ‘We all are brothers’ has different meanings, as well. Pro-independence supporters mean all those people who are aware of their homeland slavery and want to see their homeland independent. The pro-parliamentarians who characterize the Balochs as brothers include the opportunists. Can any brotherhood really be seen between Dr. Allah Nizar or Nawab Brahmdagh Bugti and the Pakistani parliament’s MPA, MNA, Senator, District and Divisional officer who hold power and meet with Secretaries, DCSPs etc. on a daily basis, while the other risks his life in the battlefield fighting the occupation?
When pro-independence leader Mr. Hayrbyar Marri mentions Pakistan is powerful, he means the Baloch nation should be steady and clever in the ongoing war. He knows the enemy is strong, but could be defeated by correct tactics. Whereas the same sentence used by the pro-parliamentarians means Pakistan is undefeatable and we should, therefore, reject the demand of freedom. This is where the pro-independence supporters believe the armed struggle should be strengthened in the freedom movement, while Pakistani parliament seekers keep their selves busy in bonding with powerholders.
In this short discussion we can easily draw the conclusion that there is a huge difference in the paths and motives of the Pakistani parliament seekers and the pro-independence supporters. Nevertheless, as it did with the BNF, the state seems to be trying to jolt the BNP Mengal. This means the state is well aware of the clashes of thoughts between the leaders and the workers of these groups and is, therefore, systematically targeting its workers who are the supporters of the Baloch freedom fighters themselves. In this evolving situation it cannot be overruled that those members of the NP will be targeted, who against the wishes of their party, too, are committed to support the freedom movement. It means that Pakistani parliament seekers must keep in mind the true meanings of these terms and phrases, honestly analyze the circumstances and incidents, and should, for the sake of the survival of the Baloch nation, join forces with those whom are directly involved in the struggle. Then the day Baloch parties decide to cut off relations with Pakistan, all terms, phrases and sentences will be clear to all and pave the way for unity. Otherwise a silly Punjabi may mistake a jackal as an baby elephant and kill it!

THE PRE-PLANED GENOCIDE OF BALOCH; AN ALLIED WISH OF PAKISTAN AND IRAN
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
The debate of Baloch national genocide has been taking place since long but after forced occupation of Pakistan in this region the possibilities of Baloch becoming minorities like Red Indians increased. 250 years ago Baloch had a coastal area of 1500km I.e. from Karachi to Harmoz but today its divided in 5 parts in Iran so that it doesn’t unites as a political power there. Being in Pakistan with 3 different provinces, Balochistan where Balochs are in majority, Pakhtoons are forcibly involved against their will according to a plan to avoid Baloch becoming a great power. The same conspiracy was played on Pakhtoons where they were divided in Balochistan, Punjab and then free tribes etc. to deprive them from unity. Similarly Sindhis had to face weakness in their political power because of bearing hundreds of thousands of refugees from India who were later on localized. That particular refugee who traveled from Delhi and Hyderabad wearing a patched shirt and loin cloth is the master of Sind and the poor sindhi is its servant.
Punjabi is the only nation in this country who absorbed other nations and is united whereas all other nations are victims of indigenous division. This is the reason whenever nations speak about the injustice they faced; blame Punjab because Punjab is the only nation strengthening with Pakistan whereas other nations are suffering division under the governmental and semi-governmental conspiracies.
Balochistan issue is much critical than other of these nations because not even it is able to read or write its own language in its school, neither it has any opportunity of saving its tradition nor it can defend its culture. Similarly its land can be taken from it and its facing the threat of losing its national identity forever.
From prominent American intellectual Sleigh Harrison to ordinary writers have repeated several times expressing the threat of Baloch facing slow motion genocide. We too have repeated using the term of slow motion genocid in tens of our articles, but concentrating more on this subject reveals that using the term of ‘slow genocide’ does not reflects the current disaster Baloch nation is facing.In fact it is an ugly truth, due to rapid development of science, nations are developing too. So in case of suppression of any nation it can swiftly lose its national identity where killing everyone is not necessary .Only 1 or 2 per cent of Balochs who migrated to Sind and Punjab in the 15th and 16th century, write their identities as Baloch but are disconnected from Baloch, Balochi and Balochistan in such a way that 5 military operations in Balochistan and genocide of Baloch could not succeed in convulsing them. 90% of them speak Sindhi, Punjabi and Saraiki. Similarly Baloch in Iran bearing 80 years of slavery do not have the stamina to rescue its language, history and culture. Baloch history and Baloch culture is being attacked by Persian history and Persian language like an uprising storm. More than that Baloch can not even practice its Sunni religious prayers in a peaceful environment.
In these past 80 years, Baloch nation was kept backward so much that it feels embarrassed to wear its own traditional clothes. Persians have intentionally attacked Baloch’s culture and tradition to intellectively make them slaves. Baloch living there is convinced that the memento of being educated and civilized person is to wear paint coat whereas its own traditional dress is the bookmark of ignorance and backwardness.
We think any nation dies at the moment when it becomes a victim of inferiority complex. The nations who think they are superior and above all, are called Fascist and aren’t acceptable by the world. Similarly the States who try to involve other weak and minor nations into inferiority complex are hated by the world. These states with the help of their enormous political machinery drive the particular nation in so many inferiority complexes that they lose the stamina of rescuing their national identity and they move forward to their end unknowingly.
It took around 4 to 5 centuries for the Balochs living in Sind and Punjab to become one of them but developed Iran in a small period of 80 years turned a large number of Balochs into Shiites. It convinced many people that they being Baloch are less civilized, less educated and in fact less intelligent than Persians. Similarly many were convinced to speak Persian to their children so that the gates of success open to them as if speaking Balochi or being close to Balochistan would close the gates.
In these 80 years a large number of Baloch were perverse to believe that Baloch did not had any such history which can be taught in colleges and universities and neither Balochi was a language to be proud on. Tehran and Pakistan are killing Balochs in different ways using different weapons. In Iran Balochs are hanged or shoot in the name being Sunni, in the name of drugs, in the name of being US, Britain or Western agent, or in the name of provoking Balochs for freedom. Along with these killings, They are assassin with the weapons like keeping them in ignorance, unemployment, backwardness and corruption murdering their Balochism. These people are seemingly living human but are empty inside. They think alike their masters to keep them slaves forever.
In Eastern Balochistan the situation is no different. In Pakistan, Balochistan is the less developed and most back warded province and Pakhtoon areas are much developed than Balochs. (Here it should not be taken that Pakhtoons are in heaven in Balochistan.)
As here Baloch being slave since a less period of 62 years, so it is less under pressure as in Iran. Newspapers and Magazines are published under help yourself theory here. Music centers are present and literature is in inventory mode being published by helping their own selves. Government TV and radio channels teach the lesson of being Pakistani rather than being Baloch so that Balochi and Brahvi language are near to the stage of elimination. I, being drama and TV person from 1993-97, am a witness that while I used to write scripts, producers always used to tell me to write the dialogues of the characters using most of Urdu words so that ordinary people could understand. Whereas my Balochi was never tough but was indeed pure because I used to implement Rakshani, Makrani and Suleimani accent equally in my dialogues. Being familiar with 3 of these accents, I never had the necessity of using Urdu words that’s what my producers never liked. I was usually present in recordings where actors on the advice of producers used to place Urdu or English words in the dialogues and I used to immediately correct them but in my absence they used to neglect the script using such an ordinary Balochi mixture which used to embarrass me listening to it later.
The main reason of giving this ordinary example is to let the world know the Balochi and Brahvi programs published in the TV and Radios are just to pollute these languages and not for their development.
The situation of Pakistani politics is in front of all, some Balochs have been bought and some have been misguided. Those who want to appraise the threats Baloch and Balochistan are facing, end up like more than 8000 missing people which can be seen by the world. The terrible result of democratic politics in Balochistan resulting the assassination of Martyr Ghulam Mohd, Martyr Lala Munir, Martyr Sher Mohd, Martyr Rasool Baksh and tens of other leaders is a question mark to the world. The state terrorism has reached a point that in the month of September this year, a peaceful public conference in Tump was opened fire in which nearly 20 innocent victims were injured including women and children and one youngster Mukhtar Baloch was martyred.
Here too Balochs are being targeted directly along using the weapons like terror, greediness, corruption, backwardness, division and illiteracy at the same time.
As we have mentioned before, we would like to reinforce the point that in this computerized era it is not so hard to eliminate any nation as all new weapons such as carpet bombardment, media, seminars, internet etc. are used at the same time.
Iran and Pakistan have not only planed to snatch Baloch homeland, the fact of Baloch being a secular nation pins like a needle in their eyes. If the civilized world helps the broad minded Baloch in this region against Pakistani and Iranian religious trend of extremism, the civilized world gains the profit itself. Baloch arising as a moderate power in this region can help the world to fight against 2 challenges in this 21st century I.e. prohibiting drugs because many of Pakistani and Iranian high officials are backing the smuggling of drugs from Afghanistan to Europe and America through Balochistan. The second biggest challenge is the religious extremism which is promoted both in Pakistan and Iran and is a challenge to the entire world. Baloch nation with its secular thoughts can be actively helpful to the civilized world in the fight against this negative trend. Balochistan Zindabaad!

Neutral BBC’s one-sided attitude
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
On November 25th 2009, when Baloch pro-liberation leader Mr. Hayrbyar Marri’s interview was published on BBC, we couldn’t understand any of his wordings because his full of dust talks were totally different from what all he has been saying to Pakistani private News channels the very same day or previously, where he had reject Balochistan package and quoted in strong words the demand of freedom and not of package and reminded our only destination was getting rid of slavery. Regarding negotiation with the Pakistani government, he cleared we would only negotiate with the Pakistani government when it declares handing over the occupation accepting independent Balochistan, then we could negotiate on the agenda of ‘independent Balochistan’. Expressing his view on the missing persons of Balochistan, his agenda included that Pakistan had forcibly occupied Balochistan and Balochistan itself has been an independent state. Our political prisoners and freedom fighters should be brought out publicly in fact they should be accepted as POWs under international law because we think our freedom fighters are the soldiers of Balochistan army who were made prisoners while they were fighting the enemy force. Therefore they should be treated the same as any ordinary POW of a country is treated by another country.
But the interview published in BBC never consisted of any such views. So apparently such thoughts pop up in one’s mind that what happened all of a sudden to Baloch leader who had openly expressed his agenda in Pakistani news channels but in his interview with the BBC sentences are more but the real points are no-where. In these numerous questions going around the mind, one and the most dominate question was; Baloch leader abandon from his agenda in just a matter of few hours and obliged for negotiations unconditionally (which we think is impossible) OR his true words were stolen intentionally.
Our confusion was continuous till 2 different recordings of the particular interview were published at the same time on a Baloch website. It included a full interview recorded by Mr. Hayrbyar Marri’s team for their records and the interview been published just to get rid from by a BBC journalist which created so much of confusion in the minds of numerous people.
This interview taken on Balochistan package regard, can consist 4 points which are important to be known by this administration. First, Was Mr. Marri taken in any confidence regarding this package? Second, How effective or meaningless this package is in Mr. Marri’s views? Third, If he rejects this package then what are his demands and if he supports this package then what are the points in this package that are acceptable? Fourth and the last, after the proposal of this package would their be any chances of pro-liberation people to negotiate with the Pakistani officials?
These are the main points which were important at the time but it is simple when a journalist gets a chance of interviewing such a leader it tries to ask questions which it might not be able to publish in its interview but could benefit with them later at an appropriate time.
But the point being felt as an example of dishonesty is, the 11min and 22sec conversation in which Mr. Hayrbyar had used the word freedom 11 times on the subject of freedom of Balochistan but BBC’s journalist Haroon Raheed had very skillfully scissor it so that the 2min and 30sec (which was published after being edited by the administration) not even once mentioned the word ‘freedom‘. Similarly the word ‘slave’ and ‘slavery’ were used 4 times in the interview but in the published piece Baloch slaved status was mentioned no-where. Because if the word ‘slavery’ was included, so apparently the demand would’ve been freedom. So the addressed person never bother to feel the importance of publishing Mr. Hayrbyar Marri mentioning Baloch nation’s slavery and its end or treatment.
Dishonesty is an evil disease, that is why this journalist not only deprive its listeners from the true answers in fact has kept its administration in darkness regarding Balochistan freedom seekers or at least it is assumed from the interview.
He did include the sentence “We are not in favor of package politics” in this published interview but “We are the demanders of freedom” sentence is forgotten in the answer. Similarly the journalist placed a sentence “Our gates are open for negotiations” during Mr. Hayrbyar’s views on the chances of negotiations, but never felt the necessity of including the attached main condition “These negotiations will be held on the agenda of Free Balochistan”. He did question whether being taken in confidence regarding the package but the point where Mr. Hayrbyar clears himself and lets a journalist like Haroon Rasheed to record his interview appealing his selection of words for the future, But the journalist demonstrating extreme irresponsibility forgets to include it because in reply he is reminded of his one sided attitude.
Haroon Rasheed questions in the interview; The government says it has negotiated and been in contact with almost all the extremist and fugitive groups regarding the package so did they contact you too? As mentioned before during the answer of this question, as the journalist suffers from dumbness he misuses his position and authority and never publishes the first part of the question in which he had called Baloch freedom seekers as extremists and fugitives. Similarly Mr. Hayrbyar Marri’s reply was also edited where he answered shortly “I am neither an extremist nor a fugitive, I am a demander of free Balochistan so they never spoke to me”
He did ask Mr. Hayrbyar Marri his demands but one of his demand was mentioned half that our freedom fighters (captured) should be treated as P.O.W but why they should be given the status of P.O.W the journalist did not mention in the argument.
Now it is as, someone runs to the acting king’s palace screaming Your majesty step down from your position! His particular demand will be understood foolish until he doesn’t say that the real king is arriving. The particular message which was not important a few seconds ago, becomes tough truth when the argument is given causing everyone present to stand up and even the acting king step out from his position. If he does not use the word ‘king’ so he being a fool would be applicable to death but his one argument make him deserve reward. Argument is the only reason making ordinary talk special and important.
Therefore the journalist has very skillfully squeezed the arguments of Mr. Hayrbyar Marri making his strong talks as ordinary words which threatens a cause of confusion among his friends about his personality and his national movement. The specific time or day chosen for the publish of this interview is extremely deadly and dangerous. We can never comment on this that the particular journalist intentionally publish the interview 2 days before the occasion of Eid but it is the truth that due to Eid holidays every news agency is closed causing it not possible to reply this dishonesty based interview where on the other hand everyone was in get together on the occasion of Eid.
Balochistan where fire and burning steel are drizzling and their national leader Hayrbyar Marri’s statements will be the topic of every get together, and the oppositions of Baloch national movement would cheer up saying the freedom seekers have at last given up. The slogan of Baloch national freedom settle down like a foam because Hayrbyar Marri while talking to BBC unconditionally agreed to negotiate with the Pakistani government. Like a phase in Balochi; ’Till truth arrives, false travel a distance ahead’ so till the end of Eid holidays and newspapers being publish, in between at least a week while government machinery and anti freedom seekers would present this interview based on dishonest editing as truth disappointing people on Baloch national movement.
The intensity of such misleading report on the basis of BBC cannot be estimated causing a shock among the Baloch nation specially the pro-liberation Balochs. In this continuation the impact of a beloved organization like BBC among Balochs will be acceptable as thinking BBC too address the poor victim Baloch as one sided. Because it is no co-incidence to hide or bring any ups and downs in such important questions. This can only be possible in 2 conditions, first the interviewer and the editor is unaware of the importance of the conversation of the person being interviewed and unknowingly selects the needed points or dishonest and sided person who tries to unaffected the interviewers conversation and make his personality suspicious.
Here excuse like lack of time and being in a hurry aren’t important because these terms do not implement on freedom or slavery kind of words.
Therefore we easily come to this conclusion that Haroon Rasheed is not only an unprofessional journalist in fact he has hatred for Baloch national movement and all that he has done is purposely and intentional. Because this fact of taking out the impression of Baloch pro-liberation leader’s strong and straight words making them important or non important and secondary is not a difficult job which not only needs skills and tricks, in fact such unfortunate hypocrisy makes one helpless in murdering his conscious, which later on in the form on anxiety makes one’s conscious restless.

The Grieving ceremony of Raskoh (Chagai) in Washington
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
In the light of Pakistani Islamic atomic testing which is in its 12th year, a protest demonstration was held by American Friends of Balochistan (AFB) which central point was to highlight the super power of the world “America” about the threat possessed by Pakistan’s Atomic weapons and also emphasizes the Baloch nation’s living order. On the day of 28 May a press conference which was a part of this program was held under the pictures of Brahamdagh Bugti, Dr Allah Nazar & Hyarbiyar Marri, while including Hyarbiyar Marri’s speech many other personalities like the presiding council member of American Friends of Balochistan (AFB) Laurie Deamer, President of Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC) Zafar Baloch, Editor of “Protestbarrick.net” Sakura Saunder, Director of Pakistan Christian Congress (PCC) Nazeer Bhatti, Andrew Eiva of “Sudan Committee” & Mohammed Ali Baloch gave their speeches.
Madam Deamer in a very relax and impressing manner reintroduced the flattening of the mountains of Raskoh and also attempted to shake the napping international powers who after twelve years still failed to send a team of experts who in a right way could investigate the level of radiation, the flow & disadvantages of nuclear radiation in the region. From the commencing inhabitants of Raskoh till today, it has provided a clean environment of the world for its children on her lap but today it has been snatched by the foreign elements, the inhabitants have no authority over Raskoh today but the radiation occurring there on the bed of Raskoh from which many diseases are being bred have their claim on the inhabitants.
Along with too many infections & diseases there were many cases of still born babies missing parts of bodies, in some the children were missing hands, in other cases legs were missing and some were missing ears or some were born bald, the medical facilities in the far outskirts are ill structured and if something like this happens in Kalat, Noshki or Dalbadin then they attribute it as God’s wish by totally neglecting the satanic atomic radiation caused by Establishment of Pakistan which were later credited in the accounts of ALLAH (God) and the victims were lectured to be patience.
Madam Deamer in a very sincere way stated about the level of Pakistan’s Islamic atom bomb which according to her is equivalent to Islamic terrorism. A country like Pakistan which is underdeveloped & in poor shape economically & politically is sprinting in the field of artillery that the people are living under poverty because of it, Poverty has not only gripped the whole society but it has also given full access to Islamic extremism. People who because of Poverty cannot fulfill the needs of their children or they cannot afford to admit them in schools, so being weak financially they send them to Madarsas where the mullahs send them to beg for “Tiki”, food taken from 50 to 100 houses mixed up in one pot are eaten by these children. Two times a day (Lunch & Dinner) the children are forced to beg in the name of “Tiki” which later results the children to mentally be a tramp and mole afterward they become stooge for the authorities & for people who can lend something to them.
These madarsas are the one who breed Razakars (Agents) for Taliban & Al-Qaeda, that is the reason that if one Talib (Student) is killed by American or NATO forces then ten Talib are admitted because the factory from where these Talib’s are manufactured, are these madarsas who are working intensely. Just like an atom bomb which if dispatched can fallow the land, the Islamic extremism nibbles the whole humanity and grasps the seed of patience for each other from them which considered being the reason for all this pandemonium in the world.
The President of Baloch Human Rights Council (BHRC) and veteran freedom loving Zafar Baloch assuming the right chance gave a very vital point of view that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal to be the reason of terrorism in the whole region because there isn’t a dangerous example seen in the whole world where all three of Taliban, Al-Qaeda and Nuclear arsenal exist in the boundary of 100 km and subsequently being in so close the perturbing point is this that these irrational religious thugs don’t even need to have a visa they can claim the arsenal anytime they see fit and then the world will be pushed to the position of obliteration. Keeping this Zafar Baloch in a very direct manner gave a message to America along the West that “If you want to dispose this problem of nuclear arsenal then you should support Baloch national movement for freedom which being a secular and illuminated ideologically can be very much helpful for the world by depleting the Islamic extremism & also in the shape of Independent Balochistan it will not be hard to put leash on Pakistan.”
Sakura Saunder conversed about such a point on which we always have written in our articles that there is still lack of information on Baloch national movement for freedom in Europe, America, Canada and Australia etc, there is no doubt that the people in these 5 years know more about Baloch and Balochistan but according to Skorrah he himself felt this that there is lack of information on Baloch and Balochistan and he himself learned about this recently. This is an important international situation and this is about a nation’s identity there should be more debate, seminars and lectures to be held over this. We should go to the depth of Baloch cause for the benefit of the world and in our view there is more work to be done in this aspect.
Andrew Eiva of “Sudan Committee” acknowledged the ideologies of Hitler in the Pakistani Establishment and stated “in there because of Establishment’s propaganda a majority of people have accepted this point that Hitler was a great leader. This thinking of barbarism and callous has build up an environment of inhumanity, the living example to this can be seen that today when Baloch nation is busy protesting on Islamic terrorism and working hand to hand with other humanitarian loving peoples against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, in that meantime Lahore the heart of Pakistan where the mosque which belong to the minority of Qadianis was bombed under the umbrella of Establishment by the jihadi mullah’s which resulted 100 dead and many injured as gift for Qadiani’s.
To attest the speech of Andrew Eiva we must analyze the speech of Pakistan Christian congress (PCC) director Nazeer Bhatti who approved that in the whole Pakistan if the minorities are treated better somewhere it is non other than Balochistan, he stated “that Christians in Punjab are killed infinite times, their women were treated inhumanly, their property and belongings were taken under force possession, all these inhuman acts are done under the hand of Establishment but Balochistan is the only place where not even a single case of this kind was seen in which a Christian or a minority were suppressed or treated badly, our people always felt safe when they were among the Baloch nation”. The speech of Mr Bhatti is 100% correct because in Baloch custom using force over minorities, women or weak person is nullified to be an act of manliness this is the appealing view of Baloch custom that living among the Baloch in Balochistan Hindus, Christian, Zionist & Qadianis feel living among their own peoples.
A Baloch struggler Mohammed Ali Baloch gave speech in Balochi language and to give a valid argument in his speech he stated the speech of Mir Ghaus Bux Bizenjo recorded on 1947 in which Mir Stated that “If Afghanistan and Iran being a Muslim country can live as an autonomous state then why the Baloch nation is being forced under the label of muslamiat to dissolve their identity of an autonomous state”. This speech is in itself imperative and very much gives an overview of a Freedom struggling Baloch but to our bad luck that after this speech Mir himself never fought for the Independence for Balochistan from Pakistan and neither he challenged the force annexation either way he always tried to secure the federal government, what if Mir standstill to his decision and should never have accepted Pakistan’s occupation and never approved the control and never have been a part of its parliament subsequently baloch would have been in a different form today that they were called “The Slave of Slave”.
In the conclusion part we want to praise the work of the leader of American Friends of Balochistan (AFB) Mr Ahmar Musti Khan from whose efforts programs like these have taken place who directly without any doubt reported the Baloch and Balochistan in the right way. It is vital priority that programs like these should be held in ever corner of the world to show the concern against the slavery of Baloch nation in which not only friends of Baloch national struggle should show their solidarity and give their views but also the true leader of Baloch liberation seekers should put their points in front of them like in this program the veteran Baloch nationalist Mr. Hyarbiyar Marri sent his exclusive message, on which we would debate as we see it is important.
Mr. Hyarbiyar Marri directly accused and without hiding anything declared Balochistan as an occupied and a colony of Pakistan, and strongly stated that State of Pakistan has used Balochistan as its nuclear bombs testing ground. The distress of Baloch nation can be put equal to this fact that the western world which is 1000 kilo meter away from this Islamic bomb but still suffers from distress and Baloch nation has been forced restrain to live under this Islamic bomb so the world to ease up their problem should also think seriously over suffering of baloch nation and should fully support freedom for Baloch land so that Baloch nation can play central role to cleanse this region from atomic weaponry.

The Disappearance of the Norwegian Baloch A part of the tragedy of the thousands missing Baloch By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Last year (2012) on august 7, 2009 in Pakistani occupied Mand city of Balochistan, when Ahsaan Arjumandi embarked on the bus bound for Karachi did not know what was lying In ahead of him, when the bus reached at the Zero point just 15 km away from Uttal city, the secrets agents of Pakistani state took him off the bus and blind folded him like a criminal and whisked him away to an unknown place in front of all passengers. According to the eye witnesses, there were more than 20 pickup vehicles which surrounded the bus on which Arjumandi was boarding. The agents in plain clothes carry out their search of the bus in an extremely relaxed manner and the most important thing was that all those vehicles were without registration Number plat. The day he was abducted nothing had been said about him from Pakistani state.Up till now Pakistani state is still engaged in cheating the Norwegian government on false statement and assurances.According to the reports Ahsaan Arjumandi was an active human rights campaigner against Musharraf Regime, when the dictoter musharraf visited Norway , he was one of those who helped to set a protest against his atrocities against Baloch people.Such human rights campaign in any civilized society or country of the world isn't a taboo, however, it is a different thing in Pakistan and Iran, where all role and regulations are only set to protect the incumbent regimes, and then the deluge for civil society. For Baloch they have their own special laws, which are not published,used to commit genocide of Baloch nation. Under the same unpublished laws Arjumandi has been abducted and no one knows where he is now? In this regard, so far the statement that we have read from an in charge police officer of the area, before the court, is noteworthy to mention here in which the officer admits that "the Norwegian Baloch has been arrested by Pakistani secret agents and has been handed over to Iranian government on its request"Now what the Iranian and Pakistani states are behaving with Baloch nation? In this information age it is not a hidden fact that how they are distorting the thousands years old Baloch history by occupying its home land. Yes it is not denying that there are some "compulsions" which have blinded the eyes and deafened the ears of world community. If someone finds an injured animal in a jungle, he would take it to a veteran for treatment, and then he return it back to its natural habitat and leave it there. But Pakistani and Iranian states committing flagrant state sponsored terrorism by hanging Baloch in dozen, extra-judicially. They kill Baloch in masses, or abduct them in public without feeling any qualms, and dump them in remote areas from fly helicopters after torturing and killing them. In the name of Islam the occupying state's salaried Satans would acidify the innocent Baloch daughters, which defy the Ablees' Satanism. But the big powers are an able to notice it.We remember, when the Baloch resistance forces became fed up of the notorious silence of the international community, they held John Saluki as a Balochi Mehmaan against his well, a hue and cry erupted world around, from united state to NATO member states, even the salaried Pakistani politicians and its forces lost their sanity. The concern of the US and the NATO were justified by anyway, because they value their citizens. But Pakistani state and its armed forces' anxiety were based on the fact that this would block the charity it receiving, in the name of aid for the war against terrorism. Exactly, according to our belief, the Baloch armed resistance organizations allowed the John Saluki go home, after they registered their protest before the world community. Personally it was my strong belief that he would be released safe and sound. In the same evening, When, on April 4, 2009 I published my article in the DailyTawar under the headline of "John Seloki Baloch God Bless You", we heard the news, that The Baloch Sarmachars had released him on the request of Sardar Khair Baksh Marri.
Our belief was based on the knowledge of the psychology of our nation and the thousands years old traditions and customs that we hold them very dear. But it was out of our understanding that the reaction of NATO and American were totally different from each other about the same incident. We are still astonished, why the Americans pressure on Pakistan was so immense for the release of his white man citizen, that Pakistani state bent on its knees and started licking the pro independent forces' heels. But on the disappearance of the Norwegian Baloch, they are totally silent, a trouble-free displeasure was expressed and then calm followed everywhere.Why the American cannot ask its dependent Pakistani rulers that under which human and international laws they have handed over a foreign national (which is a member state of NATO) to fanatic Iranian butchers; who, for the past five years, have hanged more than 721 Baloch, without any trial to defend themselves, or their bullets rattled bodies return back to their near ones after charging them the prices of each bullets, they spread on their bodies.We still don't know why the world community doesn't take notice of the illicit unison between Pakistan and Iran about Baloch issue? Why they ignore this fact that, this is where the rapid growth of Islamic fundamentalism and world terrorism is taking place? Pakistan is providing these terrorists technological assistant and Iran facilitating them with financial supports. Why the world cannot see that, the money, that Pakistan receiving from world community for building schools, hospitals, roads and providing clean water, are being used to finance the brutal military operations in Balochistan and, in the name of Madrassas, jihadist camps are being built for Talban. Why the world powers are not serious to look into the fact that,because of these two countries' hypocrisies, the entire universe has become a volcano, which could erupt anytime.The last word:As Baloch, it is not important for us, if Ahsaan Arjumandi was a political worker or not?, or Was he a participant of the freedom struggle or not, or has he been dreaming false hope for Baloch people's rights within Pakistani and Iranian state?!
For us the important thing is that, why it has become a crime for us to be a Baloch,no matter whatever nationality we hold?
Today there are more than 8 thousands missing Baloch, about which, last year during John Saluki release, United Nations had promised to run an enquiry about their whereabouts. let alone the enquiry, the leader who played the key role for facilitating the John Saluki release, was abducted and then killed along with his colleagues in front of public by Pakistani agencies , which is a strong slap in the face of the United Nations.Hence it is now crucial for Baloch nation to reconsider their policies about the fight for their survival, because either way you get the bullets, whether you want a glass of water or freedom. When the death is the destiny, then why one should not embrace the glory of martyrdom for the sacred cause of freedom?Over the length and breadth of Baloch home land, a war of national emancipation iscontinuing.The efforts of the 'Voice for Missing Persons,is an excellent job tolet the world community know about the condition of the people who have been affected by the war, If it is more organized in and out of the county.There are more than three hundred thousand displaced people in Balochistan, thenumber of the missing persons goes beyond thousands, among them there is a NATO member state citizen, a Norwegian Baloch, Ahsaan Arjumandi, and the massacre of hundreds of Baloch people, including children and elderly men and women and youth.
But the growing notorious silence of the world community shows that the extent with which we are screaming, is not enough to attract the attention of the world community towards our lamentation. And perhaps, we failed to convince the world that we Baloch want nothing except our homeland and the thousand years old identity of Baloch nation, and we might as well have failed to convince the world community that we are the only secular nation in the region, who have the capability to play the important role to contain the Islamic extremism, international terrorism and the world drug trafficking. But, if the international community failed to protect the legitimate interests of Baloch nation, then Baloch would never allow its homeland to be used for occupying Pakistani and Iranian interests.

The ridiculous comedy of India and Afghanistan involvement in Balochistan
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Judicious man learns from his past mistakes and rectifies them, and a foolish man repeats them continuously. There is a famous saying among investigators around the world. "However shrewd a criminal may be, he, in the long run leaves a sign behind which eventually leads to his conviction. Pakistanis have never been matchless in their scheming in the past, but their scheming particularly regarding Baloch and Balochistan have always proven failure. Leave alone a comprehensive or viable scheme; they even don't know how to make plausible a lie.
Yes it is true that to bring about a particular condition the government machineries and covert forces, around the world, scheme fabrication of deception, but it is done in a way that people believe them. They seem to close to reality that one can not reject them. But here in Pakistan, to defame Hindustan and Afghanistan along with Brahamdug Bugti, a private TV anchor person interviews a person who ostensibly confess a guilt of suicidal crime, in which he says he has been asked by Brahamdag Bugti himself 'in person' And that he has witnessed how Hindustan supporting Baloch nation and how . Impatient Hamid Karzai has become to destabilize PakistanI have seen several dramas in my entire life but not such a drama, which's every bit: defies the logic. And it raises several questions.
- If the house has been demolished by a bomb, and according to so called suicide bomber, Gazzo, the bomb exploded outside of the wall, then the question rises how the bomb went outside? Was the explosive jacket kept outside of the veranda? But from the debris it seems that there was no sign of veranda at all, and it is an open ground!
- If the bomb exploded outside then the walls should have collapsed inside the boundary. But it is fallen outside.
- If the bomb was so powerful that all the three rooms collapsed simultaneously, then where is the crater on the ground?
4. If the ceiling gave in or collapsed because of impact, then where it was? If one could watch this film meticulously, one can judge from the debris nothing could be seen from within the walls, except some pieces of fallen walls. No material of ceiling is seen in the debris, but the suicide bomber says he was stuck by an iron bar; he could not make his flee. There would not be one iron bar of entire ceiling, but nothing of any iron bar can be seen in the debris.
5. The so called suicide bomber says no sooner did I lay on bed then the bomb went off. But from debris it's evident that it’s at least a 4 or 5 years old debris!! There is no sign of life around these wreckages, neither any appliances of kitchenware, nor any bed or any carpets and tables can be seen. Otherwise how an experienced anchorman could be ignorant of such thing? Particularly among the scattered things, noticeably the bed on which suicide bomber guy had laid?
6. The suicide bomber says he was laying on the bed when the second suicide bomber came in and started talking when the bomb went off, he says when he had regained conscious he saw sky through a tiny hole from the debris," now it means that the hard break and the wall had fallen on his body and face, but we failed to see any bruise on this guy who was claiming to be the suicide bomber and said that it was impossible for him to pull himself out of the remains!
7. In the same breath he says when I opened MY eyes I saw sky through debris and called for help, but there was no body to come rescue me, but later on Baloch people came and pulled me out of this trap. On the anchorman question that other bomber suffered injury? He snapped at him and said no he received minor bruises. But just two minutes ago he had said that there was no one to help him, when opened his eyes. Now on the answer of the second question, from where the second suicide bomber appeared? And how he saw the bruises on his forehead, pointing towards the minor bruises by brushing his hand on his forehead?
8. There must be an owner of the house where this saga of suicide bombing took place? The person who brings the suicide bomber from Kashmore would also get into the trap of investigation but there is no sign of the house owner in the scene who gave shelter to the culprits. If there was no owner of the house then how and when it has become deserted? It is a Balochi home there must be a soul in the neighborhood that have seen these strange people! How is it possible in a village where three strangers come and lodge in abandon house, one of the suicide bombers goes into a room and lay there and the second bomber roams here and there and chat with his friend and the third goes out to bring a mechanic to fix their car, parked outside of the house, there must be one soul around the neighborhood who noticed the strangers presence and their strange movements, because while filming the rubbles, the camera for 5 second also catches some glimpses of some houses in the neighborhood from a distance no more then 50 meters.
9. Both the anchor man and the young guy Gazzo say that when the house collapsedan iron bar pierced his foot, they showed the injury but it seemed an outer wound which could easily be done to any part of body by a make up expert, but there was no sign of an inner wound!!
10. No body knows the name of the village where? And what was the date when the incident occurred.
11. Jewan Bugti, (the alleged accomplice of suicide bomber) in the mid of the night, on May 15th 2009 had been abducted by security agencies with the help of Aali Bugti men. According to family members of Jewan Bugti, during his arrest, all members of the family had been beaten up by securities forces, now the question arises here, the so called suicide bomber Gazzo had been packed up on May 4th 2009 by security forces, while his on account of the drama speaks otherwise, he says he reached Kabul via Qandahar. Then while all this time where was Jewan Bugti from May 15 until then? During all this while under who's arrest he was? According to his family members he had been packed by Mir Aali Bugti men with the security agencies. Then how he made his escape from securities arrest? On the other hand, his wretched family says he is still missing, if a man is not arrested, and then he must be with his beloved family, particularly a responsible school teacher who is the sole bread earner of his family!!
12. The alleged suicide bomber says he never met Ahmed Karzai, but he talks in such a way as if he had been with him, saying he was supporting Baloch and giving money to them!
13. Gazzo raises three fingers to answer a question and says he had met Barhamdag Bugti five times. Even if the young man is illiterate, but he still can differentiate between 3 and 5.
14. When interviewed by the TV man, the young man says there are more then two hundreds and half men with Barahamdag Bugti in Qabul. Now first of all who told him these figures, then why should we believe his information? The second, Brahamdag Bugti fighting a war with an organized army, and he has become a big challenge to it. Do you think he is so brainless that he let know every thing to a young guy? He receives money in front of this guy and distributes them among his men? Or his close friends so stupid that they disclose all their information, facts and figures to a new young guy?
15. Had there been any suicidal bombardment in Dera Bugti Balochistan, then why it did not make any news in the local media? If the same agency men could bring a man from Lahore for recording the incident, why they could not get any news agency or TV channel or a news paper to report the incident in entire Balochistan? After the interview no matter whatever the private channel or news papers could do they wish to!! But what was the harm in making the report public?
16. Right at the centre of the collapsed wall there is a new grown tree, despite the collapse of the hard wall; the tree is still alive and standing still! As the picture is not clear and it is just a glimpse, but still by observing meticulously, one could see the grown tree in a pit of the wall. If its so then it is a proven fact the debris of this ruin walls are five years old or so! Just by watching the program, one could judge by mistakes made in the program, that it is a work of an obtuse director, of which every scene bear the witness that it's a fabricated program. To corroborate our assertions, one needs to listen to impartial observers and the members of the innocent accused ones, who have been interviewed by Radio Gwank of Balochistan Sikander Aaskani. According to Khair Mohmad, father of alleged suicide bomber Gazzo, before the abduction of his son, he had been approached by government salaried Sardaar Aali Bugti under the protection of agencies, for participation as the head of his clan to celebrate the ceremony of Dastaar Bandi and for war encampment against Brahamdag Bugti. But he refused to do so. Once again on May 4th the Aali pack came with security forces to Khair's house, but he was not there, they abducted his son Gazzo. To rescue his son he went to Aali Bugti taking a Balochi Madh, (a traditional envoy which is consistent of women, respected for defusing and solving feuds among people and clans in Baloch social organization). But Aali refused to respect the Balochi Madh, and disgraced the women and turned them back. Khair Bugti says regrettably Aali have joined the ranks of his Grand Dad enemy and engaged in such nonsense dramas. He is committing atrocities against his own brothers, he has abducted one of his sons but if I had hundreds sons, I would scarify all of them for the freedom struggle of our homeland, for which, figures like reverend Nawab Bugti and Balach Marri had sacrificed their lives. It would be an honor for me and for my son to scarify our lives if we had to. So for as my son's confession of guilt is concerned, I would conditionally put it like this: give me a Pakistani military man for four days, be it an army General, or a colonel, you would see, his testimony goes against Pakistan. The forced confession, is a false, has been extracted out of my son under duress at gun point. He appealed Baloch nation to unite behind Barhamdag Bugti to foil the ridiculous dramas of our enemy. The accounts of Pahlwan Bugti, the brother of Jewan, the alleged accomplice are horrifying, according to him, his crime is that he showed respect for Brahamdag Bugti. Our home was surrounded by military forces when Azli Bugti men broke into it and took Jewan with them, other members of the family tried not to let Jewan be taken away, but got beaten up by forces. Pahlwan told radio Gwank that "I do not know any thing about Gazzo, but I know that he has been forced to take part in the fabricated drama of suicide bomber to defame Brahamdag Bugti. Here every Body knows that people like Gazzo and Jewan are routinely being abducted by military and Aali Bugti men, but nobody listen to us. Police, military and agencies are supporting them.
He revealed that there is no such a place in entire Dera Bugti where this ridiculous drama was filmed by Express News TV Lucman. He asked the media to visit the area themselves if there exist such a place in Dera Bugti!! He said the old ruins could be a place somewhere in Sindh or Swat in Frontier.
Bahram Bugti, a local teacher and a friend of The alleged accomplice of Gazzo, Jewan, has also a horrifying account of the drama why it was filmed, in his interview to Radio Gwank Sikander Askani, he said whatever have been done to Jewan and khair mohmod bugti's son Gazo, by the hand of agencies, have surpassed every limit of inhuman treatment. According to him Jewan and Gazzo have without any reason been incriminated at the behest of Aali Bugti. Bahraam Bugti told Radio Gwank of Balochistan that he knows only the fact that Gazzo had been abducted by Aali Bugti, with the help of Pakistani government agencies, I went to meet Khair Mohamad on the sad new of his son abduction, and offered my sympathy with family. He said that all this filthy game is being conducted just to defame Barahamdag Bugti to appease SARKAR.About the alleged confession extracted by agencies, a senior Baloch journalist Shehzada Zufikar told Radio Gwank that this interview is full of mistakes, raising several questions which need to be looked upon from every angle.
First, Express News channel have eight correspondents in Balochistan along with its bureau chief, But instead, the agencies have summoned a team from Lahore to direct this drama and the exclusive interview of Gazzo. Why this alleged suicide bombardment accident has been kept secret to media at first instance? Why they have ignored the entire Balochistan Media? Zulfikar told Radio Gwank that several journalists in Balochistan have been kicked out of their job just because they refused to make fake news and report them as per the wishes of the government. Second, that there are many instances of suicidal bombing accidents in Swat, Lahore and Islamabad, first they have been reported in media and then interviews were conducted, but here In Balochistan things are different, fake interviews are a ready made to be aired, before any suicidal accident occurred. Third, the anchor man conducting the interview was more interested in getting a fake confession out of him, rather then finding a fact. All emphasizes in his questions and goading were in the intention of how to tarnish Brahamdag Bugti luminous name, how to show that Hindustan is involved in Balochistan unrest, and how to show that Afghanistan is committing the crime of supporting the Baloch. Now it is explicit that the main purpose of staging this drama was to extract a particular confession out of interviewee.Fourth, this common suicide bomber man Gazzo went to Afghanistan and directly met Brahamdag Bugti. In his talk he seemed he was involved in every talk about relationship between Hamed Karzai and Brahamdag Bugti. India's high officials came and met Brahamdag bugti where this young also present. In front of him a brief case full of money is handed over to Brahamdag Bugti by Indian representative. Right at the spot he, Brahamdag Bugti, distributes all the money among his commanders. Such are the scenes of this drama which have nothing to do with reality.
The senior journalist said for the past three months Pakistani government is talking about the Indian involvement in Balochistan, now it need to bring forwards some evidences to prove that, for that reason they have staged this drama, full of mistakes. In fact Pakistan is in the search of a way how to defame Brahamadag Bugti and to degrade him from the status of hero of freedom struggle to a terrorist so that it show the world that he was not a leader of freedom struggle but a Taliban like terrorist. But I'm confirmed that this drama is utterly a flapped one, and people in Balochistan, from a common man to a educated man and intellectuals, have all rejected this interview and regarded the these evidences as a fake ones. Before going to end this subject, let us remember Jewan Bugt's single sentence, which is all powerful to render this governmental drama a fake. On the anchorperson question, how you become a part of this story?, he said he had been asked by Wadera Khuda Buksh to take that boy to Kashmore, at this point, the anchorperson snapped at Jewan and asks him way you had abducted him by the order of Wadera?, then Jewan answers " had I not headed to Wadera, he would have handed me to ISI and MI.. Many other people have also gone through this heinous crime by the hand of this man with the help of ISI and IM". Here the anchorman became infuriated at Jewan and averted to talks to control the damage done by Jewan's real remarks. Heavier then any explanation, Jewan's single sentence contains the answers of all questions, "if I had not listen to Wadera, he would have handed me over to ISI and IM". Now the question is that why those people who have been abducted by ISI and IM, should be concern about Brahamdag Bugti? If they wanted to do something, they could have done it for salaried Nawab Aali Bugti of the Islamabad, who is supporting Islamabad in Balochistan.From the interviews of Radio Gwank of Balolchistan by Samander Askani, what we figured out from Jewan Bugti, Khair Mohamad(Gazzo's father),Pehlwan(Gazzo's brfther),Bahram Bugti(Jewan's friend), journalist Shehzada Zulfikar, it is firmly established that it was a shameful attempt on the part of Pakistani state not only to malign Barahamdag Bugti fame, but also to show to the world that India and Afghanistan are involved in Balochistan affairs. Conclusion: it is beyond of our understanding what kind of people are those who make schemes in Islamabad, once a man makes a mistake, then when he realizes that he was mistaken, he tries to rectify himself ,yet since 1973 the same mistakes are repeated here with negative results and foolish adamancy prevailing. In order to defame late Nawab Akber Bugti, the same fake Jirgas and foolish dramas were staged, people were brought in front of TV channels who elaborated fake story of oppression, Jirgas of salaried government dignitaries were held who stripped Shaheed Bugti of NawabiShip. But what resulted out of this? People regarded these people with the words of traitors, and those who staged sarkari Jirga were called marionettes. On the contrary Nawab Akber Bugti magnificently earned the glorious fame. Similarly Nawab Khair Baksh Marri was opposed with same antics, conferences were held, private jails were staged and commanders were showed surrendering their weapons, but end result? Public started abhorring these people who collaborated with government. The famous Baloch intellectual Mir Sourat Khan Marri had once deplored the tragedy of Mir Hazar khan Bejarani's second grade character in the government staged dramas, in his words, "given the 1976 experiences, on the other side, in Therdi, Mir Hazar Rahmkani's ancestral Marri area, where shameless Marri surrendering ceremony drama was staged, he should not have participated in it, Where all faces were familiar. He, Mir Hazar, had earned a name by the virtue of Mir Sher Mohamd Marri, has degraded himself to a secondary position voluntarily, a step lower from current DCO. From initial reports where Ali Hassan loharani and Gazi khan were known, if last year files reports of Bajarani Council delegation, crops commander and governor statements are checked, his name would appear in the gazetteer, and it would be a part of it." In short, Islamabad and Tehran have failed to understand the Baloch national question, or may be they are purposely ignoring it. Today, like in the past, the same dishonest apathy, triviality, and wastage of time is maintained. Had they not resorted to such meaningless and useless actions and, used their energy positively, there might have emerged a viable solution for both sides with fewer damages. Now they should bear in their minds that people cannot be impressed with such ridiculous dramas. Yes if amusement is what they care for, then nothing is comparable to self-deception albeit.

Sharm el Shaikh meeting; echo sound of a file full of allegations but lacks evidence
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Adversity never appears alone; any step taken in presence of this ‘virus’ may cause only harm. Pakistan’s current situation about Baloch issue is exactly the same as the above example. It apologizes, people ask them the guarantee of not repeating those redundancy. Lacking answer to these questions they start to lush and talk about hitting the Baloch, people ask them severely; till when this hitting be continued? Beginning of this can be digested which was started by hypocrisies of rulers but what will be the end if this ‘Hit’ continue till last remaining Baloch speaking of freedom and what if this really happens and the census of freedom seekers turn out to be in a huge number rejecting the numbers shown in government claim, so till when this chain of killings continue? Talks with who? Lacking answers to such sensitive questions they therefore tell stories of nowhere and waste time. Outcome of this in today’s current situation is in front of all. Regardless of being a nuclear power, Pakistan is in Top 10 list of fail states in the world accompanied by Somalia, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Chad, Republic of Congo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Pakistan is among these with the most glory, Now what could a country of this value make the world fulfill any of its commitments? Conjecturing this fact is not difficult because all the matters in this world are solved by bilateral interests and the fact of showing seriousness in past incidents of serious matters, but Pakistan’s adversity, Pakistan is not authentic in any matter all over the world. Regardless being a nuclear power it is dependant for wheat, its non satisfactory past, present and future are the reason of bringing up unsafe political and economical crisis in the entire world making it the cause of its gitter.
The pressure of this external gitter has brought very trouble for the rulers and above this its internal anarchy are additional, making the rulers nearly paralyzed. This is the reason they are repeatedly making mistakes. Whereas pro-liberation Balochs are seemed to be very hopeful and satisfied in every way.
In similar state of worries and anxiousness, Pakistan’s PM Yusuf Raza Gilani handed over the file of complaints against Baloch to Indian PM Manmohan Singh. Many of Pakistani journalists and pro-government intellectuals quoted this as a great success for their country but reality is way opposite of this, as they say ‘God is with them who have no one’ similarly the tricks of lively are turning against it and are getting in favor of Baloch.
1. Mentioning the topic of Baloch national struggle in Sharm el Shaikh, Yusuf Raza Gilani has accepted the existence of BLA, BRA, BLF and other Baloch resistance movements. Whereas Gilani himself along with other government officials has kept on saying that there is no freedom struggle in Balochistan nor any Baloch resistance movement ever existed. Following Islamabad, Governor of Balochistan recently issued a similar statement.
2. Second point which is a plus point for Baloch national struggle is that the world has got the opportunity to take interest and regular debate about Baloch case. The matter which was just on whisper stage so far, now has become so important that it has become Pakistan’s problem number one.
3. Third benefit, people abroad who were confused about Baloch case, now that this case has gained solid gravity that it can become the reason of any change in this region effecting Pakistan’s geography. Now Pakistan’s confession has forced those people to revise their thoughts and doubts about Baloch and now their doubts will turn into beliefs that Baloch is ready as a nation which can play a great role in any change in this region.
4. Fourth benefit, internally in Balochistan people who had doubt on this movement (pro-parliament Baloch political parties are also included) and in other parts of Pakistan the period of surface interests opinion about Balochistan which was increasing or the period of calling this issue as a surface issue and the issue of Tribal heads has ended. Now this debate will reveal government propagandas and the real emerging face of Baloch national struggle will appear.
5. Fifth benefit, answering the references and allegations of Pakistan about this issue, super powers and international organizations will quest and research more and more about this issue and will hear Baloch nation’s own point of view. In such situation when arguments or proofs from both sides come forward then it’s all benefit of Baloch.
Pakistani rulers handing over Balochistan’s complaint based file to India has started the beginning of this. Outwardly, the file given to Manmohan Singh is based on the allegations which were repeatedly heard from government officials stating foreign interference in Balochistan. In this situation when Pakistan states Baloch freedom fighters as its enemy, blames them receiving help from other countries especially India and these allegations have been coming forward since the beginning of this war, so why Pakistan did not feel in 4 to 5 years the need to conclude any concrete proof in this file? This shows clearly that without false allegations it does not have any non reject able proof.
Such allegations are shown very bravely by Pakistani officials in Balochistan governor house or chief minister house where a very few people got the guts of asking the truth and asking any proof or a fewer people want to know more about the issue. Therefore when Awais Ghani, former governor of Balochistan, claims that weapons of billions of rupees were smuggled from Afghanistan to Balochistan but thinking everyone except him is a fool he doesn’t feel to give any source or proof. Similarly from past times till today talks of interference of India, Russia, US, Israel and Afghanistan were continuously brought forward but it (Pakistan) could not bring up even a single proof successfully. It means that the intelligence agencies according to Lashkari Raisani, a ruling party senator, provide false and baseless information to higher authorities which are made base in Islamabad to make policies and act upon them.
Interpreters from governor to central and provincial houses said that Martyred Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti was in Afghanistan, India and other places but everyone witnessed the reality on the beginning of 23rd Augusts’ ground field which ended after Nawab Bugti’s and his colleague’s martyrdom on 26th august 2006. Present Federal Interior Minister quoted in front of the world media that John Solecki was held in Kabul near Hamid Karzai’s palace but later on John Solecki was found in Mastung area near Quetta. In this lineage he twice accused Brahmdagh Bugti, grandson of Martyr Nawab Akbar Bugti, of kidnapping Mr. Solecki, then four times he changed his statement saying Brahmdagh Bugti was not involved in this abduction, but later on in parliament’s in-camera session he said that John Solecki was abducted on Brahmdagh’s advice and John Solecki was with Brahmdagh’s accompanies. In evidence he showed that Brahmdagh quoting John Solecki as code name of ‘the red goat’ in a conversation.
In the light of the history of confirming past allegations of Pakistan it can be easily said that Pakistan won’t be able to prove any allegations on Balochistan matter, in fact it would see the reaction of this when the whole world will take real interest in this matter and revise the history of allying Pakistan following its redundancy including the killings and genocide Pakistan has committed. The entire world will listen to the stories of Pakistani ruler’s military operations and after that apologizing for the operations and again after that repeating the military operations. The division of Baloch nation in pieces by the British, Baloch’s own homeland where it was in majority once now has converted into minority and a third and fourth class citizen, and such other realities will be heard by the world. The world will realize Baloch’s identity and its thousands of years old history in danger. Then, Pakistani ruler’s will get the point that the file which they handed over to India in order to blackmail India so that it stops persisting on action against Hafiz Saeed and other responsible of Mumbai attacks, but here the issue turned opposite to this. Pakistan will have to give Hafiz Saeed and a lot more because it itself invited the world to debate on this issue.
In such, the thing important for Baloch nation is that its leadership can take a great benefit from this opportunity or it may lose this golden chance due to its drowsy carelessness.

The Requirement and Importance of New Arrangements In and out of Country
Nawab Brahamdag Bugti and Shaheed Balach Marri should have changed the safety strategy of their lives the day when the Pakistani helicopters started
hovering and circling over Nawab Akber Bugti residence at a time when he was preparing himself to travel to Afghanistan for his treatment.
We believe that after that great tragedy, had the both leaders, martyred Balach Marri and Brahamdag Bugi not travelled back and forth there, the enemy would not
have reached to Balach Marri so easily and killed him; and neither could it come so close to Brahamdag Bugti. In other words, they were 100 percent successful to get to him, but thanks to that honest Afghan journalist that he timely informed the right people who saved him from the jaw of the assassination.
The complete silence of Brahamdag Bugti of the past eight months had rendered Pakistani rulers into a frenzy of fretting. They hyperactively issued misleading statements of false news to create misunderstanding only to get a clue where he could be indeed? Amid the fretting of Pakistani rulers, in November, one of my journalist friends, citing the source of a Baloch from France that Brahamdag has reached to Switzerland, inquired me of confirmed information. Negatively I replied and asked him not to bother himself for such information from me. “It’s definitely not necessary for me to know where Brahamdag lives, however, two things related to him, are of my interests, and first wherever he lives should be safe and live a healthy life. And secondly he should not back down from the Baloch national struggle for freedom.
Last month through media news we learned that Brahamdag has reached Switzerland and applied for asylum. Exactly in the same day when the news broke out about his application for political asylum, a news channel from India aired Nawab Momand interview, an Afghan Journalist, in which he disclosed that the notorious secret agency of Pakistan, ISI, had schemed the assassination of Baloch leader Brahamdag Bugti.
Before assessing the internal and external effects of his departure from Balochistan on Baloch politics, let us endorse the statement issued by Mehran Baloch in this regard that stated that the government of Switzerland should regard the case of Brahamdag Bugti as important as it was the case of Hair Beyar Marri in London and we urge the Switzerland government that it not only should erase all affects of all conspiracies of Pakistani establishment, but it also take the necessary steps to erase all hindrances which procrastinate the process of his application for political asylum.
It is our national and humanitarian duty to inform the government of Switzerland about the bitter fact that the Pakistani conspiracies to assassinate Brahamdag Bugti are nowhere going to end up in Afghanistan o elsewhere. If a party (Pakistan), in a backward country like Afghanistan where people be killed for a few thousands rupees, is ready to pay hundred thousand Dollars, then it would not hesitate slightly to pay a few millions to carry out heinous crime in Europe. There is another lethal dimension of this possibility that Pakistani establishment could easily involve its neighbor, Iran, the eternal enemy of Baloch nation, to inflict harm to Baloch leader. Because all parties in Baloch National Front, of which Brahamdag Bugti is the head, are opposed to IPI (Iran, Pakistan and India) gas pipeline project.
Based on a principled stance, BNF is justified in its policy that says that unless Baloch national question is resolved with Pakistan and Iran, no investment is allowed on Baloch soil. And all Baloch armed organizations are supportive of this principled stand. They don’t like to see that any country struck economic agreement with Pakistan and Iran, and become a partner against them; and this eventually leads them to be united in a row to stand against Baloch national movement. Above all, it would be the Baloch national resources, with which Pakistan and Iran would support the international religious terrorism around the world and turn their homeland in a sanctuary for religious terrorists. So far it has not become the centre of fanatic Mullahs, because of the freedom movement of Balochistan. As Pakistan and Iran are not willing to acknowledge the sovereignty and the freedom of Baloch nation, therefore, they are pursuing a policy of terminating the Baloch leadership and workers, thereby creating an atmosphere of terror and forcing Baloch nation to abandon their national struggle for freedom.
On the state level the policy of ‘kill and dump’ that Pakistan has adopted, by United Nations definition is called state sponsored terrorism. But America and Europe have become blackmailed by Pakistan, because more than one hundred fifty thousands of their people are bogged down in Afghanistan. And they have maintained a criminal silence in the face of worst type of violation of human rights and atrocities that Pakistan and Iran are inflicting upon Baloch nation in Balochistan.
The very target killings of Baloch leadership bear the witness that Pakistani state believes, that, by corporal termination of top Baloch leadership in hundreds, besides the killings of pro independent common political workers along with Nawab Akber Bugti, Balach Marri and Mir Gulam Mohmad, it can suppress the freedom movement and continues its loot and plunder of Baloch natural resources and supports its precarious economy. It is the very leadership of Brahamdag Bugti under which BRP (his own party) and BNF has completely shattered all Pakistani hopes for any foreign investment in it. After the withdrawal of India from the IPI projects, the joint project of TAPI of Turkestan, Afghanistan, Pakistan (across Balochistan) and India, has also become a far cry to prop up Pakistan economy. To be concise, let us start with this sentence which saves us from longitude: Mega projects like, Gwader deep seaport, Saindak project, RekoDick project, along with the above mention IPI and TAPI are the crucial needs of Pakistan and Iran for economic well being and there are a few world powers who have some strategic interests involved in it. In all these affairs Brahamdag has a central role to play. These words of Pakistani interior are enough to affirm my assertions, he says that “If Brahamdag Bugti submitted to Pakistani flag, I myself go to bring him bring home”.
The above few facts that I have hinted upon are the realities that Switzerland government should realize that Brahamdag Bugti is the person whose personality not only affects Pakistan but also the entire politics of the region as a whole. Therefore, his case should be treated in the context of that importance as mentioned above so that there remain no possibilities of mistakes.
Baloch are lucky that Brahamdag Bugti escaped safe and sound from Pakistani butchers. But as I had earlier said that even in abroad there would be no abating in conspiracies against him. Nor they will spare his party BRP and the coalition of BNF that he heads. Therefore, it is imperative upon him that he reconsiders some of his policies related to his party and the coalition and the entire political strategy in Balochistan as well.
In our previous article “Hair Beyar’s bleak exhilaration” we had pointed and here we repeat it again that some powers along with Pakistan are desperately trying to create rift in Baloch National Front leadership so that they could not defend the freedom movement of Balochistan. Pakistani is trying hard to depict Baloch national struggle for freedom as a secessionist movement, thereby it would be able to obtain a certificate of terror and barbarism against humanity in world community. All participating parties in the coalition should be adhesive with each other, if the enemy succeeded in creating rift on different issues, it would be disastrous for all of us. We don’t like to make things easy for the enemy by repeating the minor issues where all these parties on the platform of BNF parted their ways on a single minor issue by interpreting it with different angles. And here we also don’t like to say who was wrong or right. Because we believe that the ‘Prodigal deserves no reproach after his return’. Yet we believe that in the coming days we need to see to which direction we have to move and what kind of strategy we have to device for the struggle; where between the lines we have to draw judicious conclusion.
Internally Brahmadag has to pay a lot of attention to several fronts; his own party is facing a lot of difficulties, it would be considered an injustice if we did not recognize what kind of difficulties the party workers are going through. Nevertheless, because of being on constant travelling, he could not pay enough attention to his party in difficult times. Psychologically he has to be ready to get the pro independent forces on a single platform and improve the performance of the BNF effectively. Under the auspices of BNP (Balochistan National Party), Pakistani establishment has devised PPCC to counter Baloch national movement. It is not only impatiently waiting for the next election, but also all Pakistani agents in this coalition would want to kill the pro-independent forces by using the shoulders of BNP and NP for the gun.
It is misfortune of us that BNP is allied with those parties who have always collaborated with Pakistani state against Baloch nation. The main reason behind the increasingly killings of pro-independent Baloch is that they want to assign the power to BNP Mengal, after the new elections take place, as it want to crush Baloch resistance completely or weaken it to an extent where it could not resist anymore the occupation.. Even though the senior Sardar has openly said that those people who have been involved in the killings of Punjabi should be put on trail. But it would be difficult for him to do so when he is in power.
To spur the freedom movement, Baloch National Front has to bring revolutionary change to its strategy so that the so called nationalists be compelled to come forth to become a part of freedom movement. Otherwise they openly expose themselves and associate with the enemy just like other parties of Pakistan. According to Saba Dashtiyari they should be forced to come out, instead of allowing them to secretly collaborate with the enemy, so that the public know what their real faces are.
In Diaspora too, Baloch are facing the same problem. Here too not only Baloch have to affectively raise the voice against the violation of human rights, but also they should connect the Baloch freedom with it in such a way whereby the political impostors, the group of right to self determination and NGOs could not run their smokescreens in the name of martyrs’ sacrifices and their principles (independent Balochistan).
For the past five years, international activities for the freedom movement have been suspended because of the false allegations against Baloch leader Hair Beyar Marri, and because he could not travel around the world to canvass support for freedom movement. First and foremost he has to renew all his efforts to establish high level contacts with all pro-freedom forces and create coordination among them. What we mean by true pro independent force is that he has the backing of pro independent forces in Balochistan, as there is no scarcity of political orphan and importers (in America and Europe) to cash the sacrifices of the martyrs who have nothing to do with struggle for freedom. They are the people who have always been in forefront of cheating the international community by creating NGOs and Independent Consuls which exist only on papers. A member of these political imposter groups has run a fake survey among the Baloch in Diaspora around the world under the theme of: if we held national election, who would you elect your leader?
Now the results he established in percentage say: Dr Wahid Baloch 51.4, Balach Marri 14.3, Sana Baloch 8.6, Sardar Atullah Megal 7.1, Hair Baksh Marri 7.1, Brahamdag Bugti, 5.7, Akhter Mengal 4.3, Gulam Mohammad 1.4 and Khan Kalat 0.0.
Now it is misfortune of Khan of Kalat Mir Sulaiman Khan Daud with a shameless vote of 0.0 popularity that he has been invited by Dr Wahid Baloch, “the most beloved leader of Baloch nation with 51.4 popularity”, to attend the international conference about Balochistan in America. for the sake of encouragement, he is also being addressed with a forgotten title “His Highness” which would remind him of his status that once his father was a sultan.
They are highly versatile dramatists; these are the people who have taken in Russia, India, America and several other countries with their fake surveys.
Now the time has come that Brahamdagh along with Hair Beyar vigorously start the campaign of creating awareness in the international community that what is the object of Baloch national struggle and who their leaders are in and outside of Balochistan. In this regard, to pave the way for these two leaders, BNF leadership has to establish a foreign office for BNF international (a small consul) so that this common consul, with mutual consultation and consideration, represent Baloch national issue and advance national interests. As it helps establish an institute to represent the national cause in a logical and coherent approach.
The reason that I mentioned Hair Beyar’s name here is that in his presence all imposters would perish. As Baloch nation is gallantly fighting with the enemy, and a river of blood is flowing in Balochistan, therefore it would be their moral obligation, first of all they themselves, to work out a strategy in real term. Because they are the only two forces who have the efficiency to do a lot. If both jointly started advancing Baloch national cause, than no messenger of BNP would be able to turn the National Struggle for Freedom into the account of right-to-self determination in Geneva. Neither any imposter would be able to mislead the world powers to amass hefty money fraudulently by selling the names of martyrs, nor would BNP and NP dare to become an accomplice with the occupier on the PPCC platform to play an active rule against the freedom movement.
We hope in this mutual cooperation Hair Beyar Marri would be the first to take the first step. It is hoped that As soon as he gets his travel documents, would to go Switzerland and meet Brahamdagh Bugti and Mehran Baloch and work out the future course of the struggle and draw an effective strategy, because we believe that Brahamdag understand the plight of Baloch nation and the problems of Balochistan and, he has the capacity of taking difficult decision.

The Requirement and Importance of New Arrangements In and out of Country
Nawab Brahamdag Bugti and Shaheed Balach Marri should have changed the safety strategy of their lives the day when the Pakistani helicopters started
hovering and circling over Nawab Akber Bugti residence at a time when he was preparing himself to travel to Afghanistan for his treatment.
We believe that after that great tragedy, had the both leaders, martyred Balach Marri and Brahamdag Bugi not travelled back and forth there, the enemy would not
have reached to Balach Marri so easily and killed him; and neither could it come so close to Brahamdag Bugti. In other words, they were 100 percent successful to get to him, but thanks to that honest Afghan journalist that he timely informed the right people who saved him from the jaw of the assassination.
The complete silence of Brahamdag Bugti of the past eight months had rendered Pakistani rulers into a frenzy of fretting. They hyperactively issued misleading statements of false news to create misunderstanding only to get a clue where he could be indeed? Amid the fretting of Pakistani rulers, in November, one of my journalist friends, citing the source of a Baloch from France that Brahamdag has reached to Switzerland, inquired me of confirmed information. Negatively I replied and asked him not to bother himself for such information from me. “It’s definitely not necessary for me to know where Brahamdag lives, however, two things related to him, are of my interests, and first wherever he lives should be safe and live a healthy life. And secondly he should not back down from the Baloch national struggle for freedom.
Last month through media news we learned that Brahamdag has reached Switzerland and applied for asylum. Exactly in the same day when the news broke out about his application for political asylum, a news channel from India aired Nawab Momand interview, an Afghan Journalist, in which he disclosed that the notorious secret agency of Pakistan, ISI, had schemed the assassination of Baloch leader Brahamdag Bugti.
Before assessing the internal and external effects of his departure from Balochistan on Baloch politics, let us endorse the statement issued by Mehran Baloch in this regard that stated that the government of Switzerland should regard the case of Brahamdag Bugti as important as it was the case of Hair Beyar Marri in London and we urge the Switzerland government that it not only should erase all affects of all conspiracies of Pakistani establishment, but it also take the necessary steps to erase all hindrances which procrastinate the process of his application for political asylum.
It is our national and humanitarian duty to inform the government of Switzerland about the bitter fact that the Pakistani conspiracies to assassinate Brahamdag Bugti are nowhere going to end up in Afghanistan o elsewhere. If a party (Pakistan), in a backward country like Afghanistan where people be killed for a few thousands rupees, is ready to pay hundred thousand Dollars, then it would not hesitate slightly to pay a few millions to carry out heinous crime in Europe. There is another lethal dimension of this possibility that Pakistani establishment could easily involve its neighbor, Iran, the eternal enemy of Baloch nation, to inflict harm to Baloch leader. Because all parties in Baloch National Front, of which Brahamdag Bugti is the head, are opposed to IPI (Iran, Pakistan and India) gas pipeline project.
Based on a principled stance, BNF is justified in its policy that says that unless Baloch national question is resolved with Pakistan and Iran, no investment is allowed on Baloch soil. And all Baloch armed organizations are supportive of this principled stand. They don’t like to see that any country struck economic agreement with Pakistan and Iran, and become a partner against them; and this eventually leads them to be united in a row to stand against Baloch national movement.

After the withdrawal of India from the IPI projects, the joint project of TAPI of Turkestan, Afghanistan, Pakistan (across Balochistan) and India, has also become a far cry to prop up Pakistan economy. To be concise, let us start with this sentence which saves us from longitude: Mega projects like, Gwader deep seaport, Saindak project, RekoDick project, along with the above mention IPI and TAPI are the crucial needs of Pakistan and Iran for economic well being and there are a few world powers who have some strategic interests involved in it. In all these affairs Brahamdag has a central role to play. These words of Pakistani interior are enough to affirm my assertions, he says that “If Brahamdag Bugti submitted to Pakistani flag, I myself go to bring him bring home”.
The above few facts that I have hinted upon are the realities that Switzerland government should realize that Brahamdag Bugti is the person whose personality not only affects Pakistan but also the entire politics of the region as a whole.

The only solution to the Afghan problem
By Hafeez Hassanabadi
Apparently America had a big gratitude on Russia by removing its missile shield program from Eastern Europe, because from the beginning it has been opposing it. However, there are two main reasons behind it which are generally ignored; no one is willing to turn the debate towards it and both reasons are related to afghan and Iraq wars. This was the main reason the America brought changes to its missile shield deployment program in Eastern Europe . The first reason is that the Americans are, at the same time, directly engaged in two colossal wars in two countries. These two wars have rendered the Americans into a difficult position along with its European allies. So in such circumstances, it has economically become difficult for them to continue this war further more.Secondly, quite contrary to the expectations, keeping in view the fact that they might suffer a disgraceful defeat, the Americans and the allies have all now focused all their attention towards that issue, so that they could attain a comprehensive solution to it.As our debate evolves around Afghanistan issue, therefore, we are going to analyse its different aspects and dimensions so that we could reach to a solvable result.It is our believe that there is only one solution to Afghan issue, that is, unless America and the world as well, do not think seriously that angle of the issue, then they will have to seek different solutions of several issues.
A: Then what should be done with Pakistan , Which is fighting simultaneously for Taliban and its allies through state sponsored terrorism? Now the new statement by the US government that it does not believe that nobody from Pakistanis leadership knows, where the Al Qaeda leadership sanctuaries are located, besides this, previous experiences of two years show that whenever a big operation started, either it ended up in a failed agreement, or terrorists leadership made the save escape masterly, despite the tall claims of Pakistani army that they have closed all escape routes.
B: What should be taken of the Pakistan internal problems, that even under a democratic government; corruption has broken all known record of previous governments by 400%. Who make it sure that the money been given to it for the war on terror, would not be wasted like the previous ones?
C: What is the solution of different nationalities within Pakistani federation with which Baloch and Pashtu states were forcefully annexed as a political bribe by the then British empire to safeguard it’ future Interests? Not only Pakistan has failed to keep them, but also it has made every opportunity available for Taliban and Al Qaeda to grow in these areas. In Balochistan the Baloch areas are totally free of their affects, but how one can make it sure that the Baloch areas are not going to be affected by this cancer in future?
D: What should be the take of the world community about the involvement of Pakistan in Iranian atomic weapon programs, where it is most probable that Iran would allow IAEA experts to inspect its atomic installations, but tomorrow, who predicts that it would not make an excuse and ask the inspectors to leave the country?
E: The Iranian Islamic ideology, under which the Iranian government is established, is based on the philosophy of Ayatollah Khomeini who said that there were two big Satan in the world - America and soviets union – the Iranian officials are still describing America as the biggest Satan, yet about the Russia, which is inheriting the soviets legacy, the Tehran regime has still not taken back its leader words. The main reason, why Iran is wedged with Russia is obvious because, it has now become necessary for it to seek a veto wielding power, which could help her out against Israelis and American pressure in time of need, and alleviate its difficulties.
F: It is now no more a secret that, wherever there is an insurgency in the name of Islam around the world, the fingerprints of Iranian funding and Pakistani technical supports are clearly visible. The problem, which has united the entire world against Islamic extremism, is deep rooted in Pakistan. It is fed and nourished by Iran and the Islamic extremist elements around the world. Now how this complex formation of ferocious forces can be unraveled and rendered ineffective, remains to be seen.
G: Both Pakistan and Iran are united not just because of Islamic ideology, but because of precious Baloch land, which has compelled them to be united. The unpredictable grim situation of Pakistan has worried Iran beyond its imagination, lest Balochistan should break away from Pakistan . If it happened so, then it would be utterly difficult for Iran to contain its own controlled Balochistan from breaking away! The same could be said about Pakistan comprehension. If a "successful" attack on Iran by America or Israel, or a rupture from internal pressure, would surely slash Iran into different independent nation states. It would further aggravate the situation in Pakistani controlled Balochistan. Therefore Pakistan would do every thing to strengthen Iranian position.One may wonder why we are talking about Iran 's nuclear program and the relation between Pakistan and Iran , while the subject we are here dealing with, is about Afghan issue. It is very simple, because, I think, unless America and the NATO remained bogged into Afghan quagmire; they would not be able to exert considerable/appropriate pressure on Iran . Hillary Clinton is justifiably apprehensive of Iran speedy nuclear program, "world community has no time to allow Iran any unlimited grace time".Therefore, it would be folly of the world community if it allowed conditions, conducive for Iran to prevail for enhancing its nuclear program.The above mentioned problems are different from that of Afghanistan internal countless complexities. The unpopularity of Karzai government, widespread corruption, the existence of widen gulf between Pashtuns and other nationalities, the vacillation of American and NATO military in decision making, ethical dilapidation, the increasing power of Taliban, the financial bankruptcy of US and its allies, the reluctant of nations other then the allies to assume peace keeping task, and above all The lake of an alternative ideology to replace the all powerful Islamic extremist ideology of Taliban in Afghanistan, (Because only an ideology can defeat an ideology, not the gun)Here the most worrying factor is that, apart from the Iran 's internal revulsion and its atomic program, the unpopularity of Karzai government and corruption in Afghanistan as will, all other existing problems are directly or indirectly related to Pakistan! It means Pakistan is the root cause of all those problems, which have complicated the afghan war and created problems for US and its allies.In such circumstances there remains only two ways to proceed. Firstly, all the problems should be regarded separately, and be put into separate categories, and then the solution should be sorted out; which is a time consuming and daunting task. Each problem must be thoroughly diagnosis and for each a new strategy should be chalked out. The second is that all attention should be focused on the main sources of the problem, which is Pakistan .But Before focusing all attentions on Pakistan, the question should be kept in mind why Pakistan is not serious in eliminating the Taliban and the Al Qaeda?, What is its weakness, which is urging it to create problems in Afghanistan, about Which, afghan president and US officials have often been heard that Pakistani secret agencies are involved in deteriorating the situation.It is our firms believe that unless the Americans and the entire world do not comprehend the minor fact, the solution of Afghanistan problems and forcing Pakistan to stop its involvement in it, remains an unattainable desire, and that minor fact is that Pakistan never wants a prosperous Afghanistan exists next to its door as it poses a existential threat to it. In the prospect of a prosperous and developed Afghanistan , the Pashtuns (as they call themselves Afghani) would never want to remain with another country.In this scenario, secondly, the Baloch would never relent, unless their identity is threatened. If the independent and democratic Afghanistan allowed Baloch( the Baloch who are living on their own land within afghan federacy) to enjoy all democratic and human Rights within its federation, then on the other side of the border in Pakistani controlled Balochistan, the desire of Baloch people for independent Balochistan would stirred up, which is already intriguingly fascinating. One needs to have an exclusive look on it. It is a nightmarish scenario for Pakistan .Therefore, for Pakistan unless Afghanistan remained ruined, the Durand line would remain a silent issue. The day the Durand line issue raised and Baloch leadership and Afghan government successfully presented their point of view about it before the world community, Pakistan will have to eat the humble pie in abdicating its afghan areas to Afghanistan and accepting Balochistan as an independent Baloch sovereign state.Iran is also in the same boat where it is in accomplice with Pakistan in committing the genocide of Baloch nation and other nationalities within its orb. By the virtue of the same Durand line, a large chunk of Baloch land is in its possession where Baloch are almost all excluded and kept in slavery.Keeping in view the current situation, Pakistan would not relent in foiling all those schemes and efforts made to stabilize Afghanistan, unless the world community grantees it that the Pashtuns would never, in any form, make any demand of conjoining their ancestral main home land Afghanistan.And the second grantee is that ( Pakistan 's seeking) the Baloch would not make any demand of liberation from Iran and Pakistan .But no country in the world could meet such demands particularly in circumstances, when the world have ceased in trusting Pakistan any more! Neither one can trust its politics nor does anybody trust its economy. Therefore it's seeking the defeat of America and its allies in Afghanistan forever through its foxy war by using the jihadist Taliban.Unfortunately it is not hard to conceive that Pakistan , to a great extent, has succeeded in its design. America and its allies would not be able to continue their presence any more within two and half years. So far as the question of termination of Taliban and Al Qaeda is concern, , by the virtue of Pakistani operation (the Talban would mysterly leave the place where the operation is carried out and thousands of people become homeless as result of bombardments) which, in terms of results, could be quoted as a worst form of scheming.Now in such conditions, anyhow, what should be done to remove the permanent Baloch and Pashtuns sword hanging over Pakistani head? So that it could play an affective and positive role in the war of terror! There are only two ways of resolving this question, others are temporary and ineffective.1- To bring Pakistan to the level of development with any of the developed nations in Europe, where everyone has a social welfare grantee, no one feels insecure, nor it has any restriction on crossing borders, neither has it faced any restrictions of having business, nor one faces any threat to their culture, language, and their civics social life. Even despite of presence of all these grantees, no one rejects the possibility the pashtuns will ever abdicate their desire of leaving together. And nor the Baloch would abandon the demand of an independent homeland.2- Under the objective of "divide and rule" the British Empire gifted the lands of different nations to Iran and Pakistan , as if they were their ancestral property.
Now it is imperative upon the British government to rectify the above mentioned historical blunder, returning back their lands to them. These nationalities should be allowed to live together according to their past history. So that in case of utter desperation from Balochistan , Pakistan and Iran would not be able to interfere in Afghanistan . Or they should be rendered so weaken to an extent, where they would not be able to pose anything dangerous to Afghanistan stability.So far as the development of Pakistan is concerned, it is a far off cry, all rulers, from the first prime minister till the incumbent president, no one ever tried to be self- reliant. Even in good times the hand with begging bowl has not been so stretched as its today.The history of Democracy in Pakistan has never been so radiant. Zulficar Ali Bhutto, who was regarded as the biggest democrat, has committed the worst form of undemocratic sin in the history of democracy in the world. It was he who declared the majority of Bengalese as traitor and forced them to depart their whys. The rationale behind it was to get rid of them forever. As they were in majority, if not allowed today, they would come again tomorrow in majority and claim the power be transferred to them.The judiciary in this country has also never been a trusted one. 62 years history of this county bears the witness that the judiciary has always been a congenital slave of rulers.In the name of democracy, the democratic institutions and dictators have, and sometimes together, cold bloodedly murdered the democracy in this country.Instead of establishing equality among the different nationalities, a relation of slave and master was molded to run this country. All known social ills, like lawlessness, bribery, nepotism, bankruptcy, and corruptions are increasingly allowed to prevail and expand, and the judiciary has become a spectator.The centre of our debate isn't Pakistan judiciary, so therefore let us put it in a nutshell, if a man cuts a man hand, he will be punished for it. But those, who cut off one of Pakistan 's arms ( Bangladesh ), got scout free. No one even dared to expose the secrets, let alone the punishing them. (The military operation in Balochistan, genocide of Baloch people, the apathy of judiciary towards it and the disappointment of people to the judiciary is not included in the debate)It is the bad luck of this county that all its governmental institutions are in a worst form of anarchy. Police fed up with military, military fed up with police and judiciary.The conditions of civil institutions are worst of all. The worst conditions of governmental institutions have reached to the extent, that the ruling party has no trusts in its law enforcing agencies and security institutions to arrest the killers of their leader, then how a common man would expect justice in this country for their problems. This is the weakness under which things are getting out of their control. Just to end a crisis; they have to create a new fabricated one. Then it becomes a real one with the passage of times.A country, where its government is unable to bring under control the flour, cooking oil and sugar mafia for the past 20 months, which is not armed with weapons, so how on earth one expects that it would fight the terrorism, drug smugglers, and the Islamic extremists?Those who rendered this country in such conditions are still holding the power of everything, though in different names and different forms. Now expecting from such people that they would clear all these mess is an utter stupidity, it is as if to ask someone "take this rope and hang yourself".
Here the thing which proven fatal most of all is the state structure which is established on the bases of deception of all nationalities and they have been pushed in a dark alley to hands them up off everything.
A total of 62 years was wasted in rendering the ideologies of G.M Sayad, Pacha Khan and Sardar Khair Baksh Marri ineffective. In the opposition of the above mentionsed empty handed leaders, despite of having the facility of billions of dollars and ample opportunity, This country is still bogged in a quagmire where there is no way to extract it out of its predicament.A country for which the survival of its very being is Question number one, how much time it requires to come on par with Swiss lands and Sweden. Talking about it is just a waste of your time.In our opinion, neither the world have such a amount of money nor does it has the time to pull Pakistan out of its predicaments and put it on the path of development besides fighting the war on terror. And similarly Pakistani rulers seem to have no wishes to see their country prosperous and happy.
Under current circumstances, Pakistan, because of misdeeds of its rulers, seems to be a car which is taken to a garage after the impact of a bad accident where it receive the suggestion, that it is better to put this structure in a scrap shop and sell it parts off one by one. Because the problem is that not only this car is beyond of repairable, but also it is full of explosives. One has to clear it first of its explosives, before it is required for any use.What should be done? Before answering this simple question, a minor point is necessary to be explained here. why we are not paying attention to the solution of afghan problem within it by holding new elections, establishing a temporary government, deploying the forces of Islamic countries, decreasing or increasing the American forces or withdrawing them, holding talks with Taliban and buying the local warlords etc, with several such other schemes, but instead, we suggesting the solution of Afghanistan's internal problems should be sought externally?I believe that considering the above mentioned all schemes or considering them practicable is just a self deception. Because these are the options which are in use from the beginning of afghan war till today, by using different names, different forces and different levels. It all resulted in wastage of time. And the second thing is that, if all these options are acted upon, then the defeat of allied forces is writing on the wall. And this is what Pakistan government wants.Pakistanis are still in an illusion and hoping that if the America decreased its pressure on it or withdraws itself from the area, then they would struck a deal with Talban like in past times, this make them able to move the war again into Afghanistan. And Pakistani rulers as usual, in the name of afghan war and war on terrorism will continue to black mail the world community, because they have now adopted this dirty game as a source of income. But they have not the slightest idea Pakistan is internally a ruins and its vital internal organs are bleeding. They not only lack, the required ability to push it into Afghanistan but now this war has become so heavy that they even can not slightly move it. Here goes the saying of old wisdom "what you sow, so shall you reap".Certainly our suggestions about Afghanistan solutions would enrage Pakistani rulers, because they still believe that by maintaining the current political status quo they could bring serenity to it. But the realty suggests otherwise, now the condition of a worst form of a civil war in this country is looming over its head like dark clouds. While as an atomic county, its civil war would cause the region for a long time of sleepless nights. On the other hand the Russians, Indians and the Israelis would be the first who would feel the devastating affects of this civil war. In the event of defeat of America and its allies, the morale of the Talban would touch the zenith. It would be the stupidity of the world community if it ignored the slogans of Islamic caliphate. The theocracy, under which they expel/defeat America, would compel them to expand it beyond the region, so that the thousands of, or more so, Talban and Al Qaeda warriors members (we don’t regard them two separate identity) who would not set idle and create problem there.In the event of defeat of democratic and secular forces, Islamic extremism would be the only concept which encourages them to forge ahead. They would start thinking that they had defeated Russia and then America and NATO, so why not give a try to establish Islamic Sharia in closed by Islamic countries. Relatively regarding the Central Asian countries, the less developed countries would be the first victims of their onslaught, and then in the same way the Russia and Europe, and on the other side Kashmir, and from several other ways India as well. Thirdly from the inferno of Iran , they would try to put Israel into flames. Pro Pakistan elements in Talban and other common student leaders would not allow India and Russia to increase their sphere of influences by creating chaos in these countries, in the wake of American departure. Pakistan would support their policy, just because it also helps Pakistan to save itself from Russians and Indians influences. And it also provides an opportunity to Pakistan to crush the pro independent forces there. America , because of its wounds of the defeat, would not be able to show any immediate reaction.But so far experience has proven that all Pakistani modus operandi of scheming the things and calculations are doomed to failure.Pakistan would not be able to calm down its internal anarchy, by spreading terror in Israel , India and Russia , despite keeping them away from itself.Therefore world should be waiting for another Burundi and Somalia in the shape of Pakistan with a permanent power, which could be the main reason of a war between Islam and Christianity, Jews and non-believers.In this scenario, it is a rare opportunity for the world powers, including America to save the world from the disaster of this country messes, and Pakistan itself, to rectify that historical blunder where Baloch, Sindhis and pashtuns regard themselves enslaved.Only the complete declaration of freedom of all these nations would save Pakistan and the world as well from disastrous consequences.The relative peace that followed after the demise of Soviet Union, and the balkanization of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia , is the proven fact that when the relations become strained, should be severed.Pakistan and Iran would be disheartened from their interest of weakening Afghanistan , if only the freedom of these nations returned back to them. The cooperation between Pakistan and Iran which has put the entire world in a strained situation, would receive an end. The connections of Islamic and Talban terrorism tendency would be severed and isolated, thereby it helps to rehabilitate them in a civic society. The danger of Pakistani nuclear arsenals falling into wrong hands could be circumvented. Because when all its nationalities get their freedom, the only Punjab would not need the atomic bomb anymore. And its historical enmity with India would come to an end. The Kashmir issue would receive the entire world attention and it would be resolved amicably and peacefully. Corruption in Pakistan would not pose any danger to a world community. Iran would be compelled to show flexibility to world community, when the alliance between Pakistan and Iran is broken. There too it paves the way for all nationalities to regain their freedom and basic human rights would be restored. The best advantage is that after the establishment of a common afghan (the inclusion of Pakistanis pashtuns into Afghanistan ) government, post- Pakistan pashtuns would have the ability to do their level best to control the extremist policy of Talban. Today all the pashtuns have been put into juxtaposition against each other by Pakistan. But tomorrow, if allowed, in the event of their togetherness, they would use their best capacity to establish an excellent democratic government.A Soviet Union gave birth to 15 different states. None of them shouted foul to each others and now they all enjoying their freedom and trying to establish good relationship among themselves. A one of few may have a strained relationship, but it doesn't mean that their existence is in danger. Or that their mêlée have any affect on the world peace.In our humble opinion, the day when the world powers and America identified the root cause of all evils and perceived that it is laying in the niche of unnatural division of nations and in the decision of the then British Empire, they would start seeing the problem from a different point of angle. It would help them resolve this issue, and this emancipates them from the fear of a possible war of Islam and none-believers.Otherwise, today the terrorists who sneak into Europe and carry out terror, but tomorrow they would enter into Europe with diplomatic passports and wreck havoc there.
