Baloch & Balochistan

Troubled America, Confused Pakistan and the Blood bathed Afghanistan By Hafeez Hassanabadi  One thing is certain. Americans and their allies know that Pakistani intervention in Afghanistan and its vested interests in this country are the main issues that still remain unresolved even after killing and displacing millions of people. But regrettably, while each time they attempt to resolve the issue, the most important thing is ignored as a secondary matter. That is why every effort results in failure. The US Taliban negotiations, which began last year and ended this year, are the resultants of that ignorance. At the beginning of [US-Taliban] negotiations, I testified in my more than half a dozen articles that these talks will produce no results, because this time, the United States has repeated the past two mistakes from the beginning. First, it didn’t take into confidence its ally, the Kabul government about negotiations with the Taliban at the demand of the Taliban on ...

By Hafeez Hassanabadi  Translate By Archen Baloch  Pakistani media has always remained under the control of Pakistan army and civil establishment. Every bit of news passes through the bottleneck of censorship in Islamabad and only the luckiest news bits of trivialities are the ones which can get quick coverage. But when it comes to important news items that touchs the real faces of influential and powerful elites then that will never make its way to open media. However, if the reporter is adamant and insists to prove the truth of his report, then he will be silenced for good. The Balochistan journalists have paid a heavy price for insisting on truth. Exactly, on the same pattern, a big event took place in Pak Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi on 23rd June 2019 when an attack was carried on the leader of Jaish e Mohammed, Masud Azhar. According to eyewitnesses, the attack was so devastating that it shook the surrounding buildings and high raising flames ...

Afghanistan:   The Powerless Jirga, Controversial talks and Complete Destruction. By Hafeez Hassanabadi On September 2018, when the US changed its policy towards Taliban, the negotiations started for peace and continued till to date.  It is not clear why the US suddenly has changed its policy towards Taliban at 180 degrees? If the negotiations are for the sack of common Afghan people, than why they were not included or why they didn't try to find a way out in this process to satisfy them? Nevertheless, instead of agreeing on one point how to bring peace in Afghanistan appeared to be more divided. It is for sure in the near future, they will create more challenges for Afghanistan and in the region. It means US arrival in Afghanistan has caused more bloodshed and destruction. The US’s intention of coming to Afghanistan was to establish peace and get rid of extremism; but now with shaky circumstances wants to get out from this mess. Many observers believe the U...

America-Taliban peace talks or the preparations of a new unending war? By Hafeez Hassanabadi Until the end of the Taliban government in 2018, US officials were calling the Taliban terrorists and had ruled out any possible negotiations with them. Then suddenly their narrative has changed and they started talking with the Taliban. Before proceeding to the discussion, it is necessary to answer two questions first. So that we can try to express accurate analysis about the importance of their result. The first question is: Which power has withdrawn from its demand before starting negotiations? Second: Which power stand where today? In reply to the first question, that much can be said that the Taleban have not withdrawn even inch from their demands but dozens of Taliban leaders were released in Pakistan Afghanistan according to their [Taliban] wishes. They were issued visas and supported. The USA, however, not only back off from its demand without any valid reason...

  The New Afghan Government and the Inherited Difficulties!! By Hafeez Hassanabadi At last Ashraf Gani and Abdulla Abdullah succeeded in forming a joint government in Kabul with help of American intermediation after several months of nerve breaking tussle on both sides.   Afghans are expecting a positive change as they’re now weary of much bloodshed. They cannot get rid of terrible past despite changing different frontline role. Foes became friends and friends turned worst enemy. The pacifists started sabre rattling and entrenched themselves for war. Behind all this is a single character at work and that never changed its position right from beginning till today. There is no hope in future that it will ever change its position and play a positive role.   And that is Pakistan. Now that Ashraf Gani has inherited Pakistan’s destructive intrigues, he needs to be extremely cautious about every step he takes in his efforts to end the war in Afghanistan. ...

Tough times in Afghanistan and the Mirage of Self-Deception! By Hafeez Hassanabadi The national affairs for both Baloch and Afghan people are increasingly getting worst, much ever before, because of internal conflicts and uncertainties! The culprit behind this state of affairs is a single common foe. It is highly likely that things get further worst for these two nations if they failed to improve their conditions; however, one thing is for sure that in this quagmire, in near future  America, India, Russia and some other countries are certainly going to be affected adversely in the region. Therefore, in such condition, it is time for regional and world powers to come together and adopt outright clear policies for both Baloch and Afghan nations. In this desperate condition, it is promising that these two nations have the relative potentiality to turn the table against their common enemy. The wishful thinking of Afghan Pakistan friendship: we won't hesitate to say that Afghan...
