Pakistan Military representative also claimed the “insurgents” were preventing delivery of incoming aid and inhibiting “rehabilitation” of the region, yet not one single NGO/INGO has reported being attacked by Baloch Separatists.  The statements of the Pakistan Armed Forces are absolutely contradictory to the facts, as they openly admit to refusing NGO/INGO access to the region.

 

On Tuesday October 22^nd, Pakistani Agents Asharaf Salam & Liaqat, Destroyed the Baloch Welfare Committee Medical Camp.  The Plundered medical supplies were intended for Earthquake Victims at Teertaaj, Awaran.  October 30^th Pakistani Paramilitary Forces resumed Indiscriminate Bombardment of Mashkai, this time targeting the Nokojo region.  Ali Pul s/o Fida Baloch was injured in the blasts.  Following the attack Mohmmad Afzal and his son Tariq were Abducted by the State Military Forces.

The Pakistan government claims they do not require any additional aid beyond the Paramilitary Forces currently deployed to the region, yet over a month has passed since the earthquakes and Awaran has seen no reconstruction.  The cold harsh winter is looming and Pakistan has again Failed the Baloch people.  Instead of warm food and shelter, the Awaran Earthquake Victims are fed empty promises, and concealed by Pakistan's thin veil of deceit.  Many of the Earthquake victims have opted to leave the region, relocating to other regions of Balochistan.  Those who remain have resolved to undertake the daunting task of rebuilding their homes themselves.

BSO-A-Azaad and BNM have called for a complete shutter-down wheel-jam strike throughout Balochistan in protest of the ongoing military operations in the devastated regions of Arawan and Mashkai.  

Since the Occupation Forces have refused international volunteer workers and prevented civilian aid workers from reaching the victims with supplies and relief aid, they can effectively shroud the entire operation in secrecy and deceit.  Pakistani Military Officials claim militants prevent them from distributing aid, and the military offensive in Mashkai is for the benefit of the earthquake victims.  This claim is a fabrication to justify the continued military occupation of the earthquake region and plunder the relief funding for themselves.

On Tuesday September 24^th Balochistan was struck by a powerful 7.8 magnitude Earthquake.  At a depth of 20km, some 60km north-east of Arawan, the Earthquake was felt as far away as India’s capital Delhi.  At least 145 Deaths have been confirmed, with many more Trapped beneath the rubble.  Thus far, International response to the disaster seems minimal if at all.  Although civil rescue workers and paramedics were already on the scene, Pakistan has deployed a Paramilitary Force of at least 200 Soldiers to take over rescue operations.

International News - Church attack ‘gift’ for releasing Mullah Baradar: Malik

Only one day following Taliban Military commander Mullah Baradar's release on September 21st, Taliban Suicide Bombers attacked a Christian Church in Peshawar killing 81 and wounding 140 Christians.  Taliban representatives claim the attack was in retaliation to US Drone Strikes, and is the work of a “splinter group”.  Yet Sunday’s Brutal Attack on the All Saints Christian Church in no way combats or prevents drone strikes. 

The Taliban has long maintained strict opposition to all non-Sunni Muslim minorities.  The Taliban openly practice a policy of Persecution and Extermination of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Shiite Muslims, and anyone or anything else they consider “Un-Islamic”.  Rather than promoting Islam, the Taliban attempts to enforce Islam.  The Taliban policy of ethnic intolerance is in-fact destructive to Islam and perpetuates an already negative international perception of Muslims.

Although you can force a *man to task, you can force a man to clothe, you can even force a man to death, but you can never force a man to believe, for the mind of man is his own and is so by design.  To doubt this design is to doubt God.

It is deeply troubling that the Pakistani State has so openly aligned themselves with such Extremist ideologies.

Pakistan Security Forces continue their Fierce Campaign of Abductions throughout Balochistan.  On September 12^th 10 Baloch civilians were Abducted from the Mand district.  The next day in Panjgur three Abductions were reported.  Haifz Tahir s/o Mulvi Adul Qadir & his brother Zahir were Abducted in Panjgur, and a Tasp district Student, Rahiees s/o Abdul Kaliq, was Abducted while travelling home from College.

Baloch Youth Wing - Balochistan APC called to authorize further military operations

In an “All Parties Conference” on September 9^th, the Pakistan government agreed to schedule peace talks with the Extremist Taliban Militants.  Representatives from the mainstream political parties in Pakistan gathered at the conference to not only unanimously agree to negotiate with the Terrorist organization, but to also release the infamous Mullah Brother, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.  In addition to the release of the former 2^nd in command of the Afghan Taliban, seven other Taliban prisoners have been released during the past few days. 

It seems rather ironic the party representatives would side with extremist war criminals rather than the moderate secular movement of the Baloch Separatists.  Although the communities of ethnic minorities in Pakistan have been relentlessly victimized by the Taliban, and their affiliates, the attending party members chose to embrace the Taliban extremists with open arms.  The Taliban negations have been publicized under the pretense of establishing peace thus eliminating the need for US Drone strikes.  The APC became a forum for political leaders in Pakistan to lash out at the United States.

International News - APC good step to rid Pakistan of US war

Pakistan’s ongoing co-operation with various terrorist organizations is what aggravated the United States in the first place resulting in the drone strikes.  Had the Pakistan Military not confronted the Pakistan Taliban with military force, the United States would have.  With the current Chinese interests in Balochistan, Pakistan’s government now feels confident enough to openly defy NATO demands and welcome the Taliban’s presence.

The reality is that Pakistan is quickly placing itself in the center of a much larger conflict.  Should a treaty be established with the Taliban, it’s likely the drone strikes and NATO aggression will intensify.  I fail to see how provoking an already aggressive foreign super power benefits the people of Pakistan.  Rather the outcome of the APC will in all probability increase the violence and suffering.   This is especially true of the Balochistan region where the Pakistan government had previously permitted and encouraged the Taliban to occupy and base their operations.

During the press conference, representatives stated another APC in Quetta would be scheduled to discuss the violence in Balochistan.  Unlike the Taliban, the Baloch Separatist forces have never committed acts of violence against civilian targets.   Yet not one single Baloch detainee has been released and no efforts have been made to negotiate with the Baloch Separatist Parties.

The Pakistani Armed Forces have again intensified their operations in the Bugti regions surrounding Gwadar Port, Balochistan.  

Baloch Youth Wing - Heavily Loaded Gunships Attack Innocents

On September 1^st the Pakistani state agents began conducting operations in the town of Panjgur.  A man was abducted in the Sarduk area of Panjgur.  Nearby in Mand, Sher Mohammad’s vehicle was stopped by Pakistani forces who then abducted him and his son Aman. 

Sunday September 1^st In Malir, Karachi, PPP Death Squad; Peoples Aman Committee, killed Jalil Ahmed Baloch.  The next day 2 young Baloch school boys were abducted from Babu Mullha area of Kalat.  The Peoples Aman Committee was considered defunct after being classified as a terrorist group and subsequently banned in 2011.  Their recent activities in Balochistan indicate the notorious organization is indeed quite actively participating in the systematic genocide of the Baloch.

The assault in Panjgur intensified on Monday September 2^nd, when Pakistan’s armed forces opened fire on the house of Abdul Bab in Chitkan.  A man named Jahanzaib was killed by unidentified gunmen in the nearby village of Hoshab.  In Zedi Khuzdar Pakistani agents abducted Master Abdul Hameed s/o Mohmmad.  On Tuesday September 3^rd in Panjgur, Attaullah s/o Dad Mohmmad and Haneef s/o Rasheed were abducted by Pakistani forces.

Six months ago, Haji Abdul Razzaq Baloch, Esteemed journalist and editor at the Urdu language news outlet “Daily Tawar”, was abducted by Pakistan state agents in Karachi.  The Daily Tawar is one of the few regional news outlets reporting the ongoing genocide in Balochistan.  Despite having changed their office on a number of occasions due to ongoing threats and abductions of staff, the Daily Tawar continues to report the atrocities committed by Pakistan state agencies in Balochistan. 

Baloch Youth Wing - Martyr Haji Abdul Razziq Baloch

Razzaq’s disfigured remains were recovered in the Lyari area of Karachi on August 22^nd.  Reports indicate his body was mutilated beyond recognition and his family was barely able to recognize him.  So far of the seven journalists killed in Pakistan this year, four of them were killed in Balochistan.  Pakistan’s efforts to censor the reporting of their Baloch genocide only serves to illustrate their attempt to obscure the genocide they continue to conduct in Balochistan.

As well as Abdul Razzaq, the bodies of 2 other Baloch abductees were also recently recovered in Karachi.  On August 23^rd it was reported the bodies of Muhammad Ramzan and Abdul Ghafoor were found in Surjani Town.   These tactics of dumping the bodies of extra-judicially killed Baloch outside the Balochistan province, especially in the nearby town of Karachi, is the ages old method of deceit through misdirection.  By placing the bodies in the neighboring province of Sindh the Pakistan State Agencies are diluting the statistics to lessen the gravity of the situation in Balochistan.

Pakistan Armed Forces continue their vicious rampage in Dera Bugti regions through the weekend conducting operations in RD 238, Muhan Patt and Deenari Patt.  Pakistani Soldiers are conducting loot and burn operations, indiscriminately firing upon Baloch civilians. Several Baloch have been killed and many abductions have been reported.  Sunday August 18^th the disfigured remains of 2 previously abducted BRP activists have been discovered in Sui.  One of them has been identified as Ismail Bugti.  Ismail was abducted by Pakistani agents on August 14^th in the Zenkoh region of Dera Bugti. 

Much like the attacks in Bolan on August 11^th, the Pakistani Forces have been dumping previously abducted and murdered Baloch activists while conducting loot and burn operations in order to justify both; the ongoing attacks on civilian villages, and the murders of the abductees by falsely labelling their victims as insurgents and terrorists.   Reports of killings and abductions continue to surface from the Dera Bugti regions as the Pakistani Death Squads continue their destructive rampage.

On Monday August 20^th, In Killi Qambarini Quetta, Pakistan Armed Forces killed three Baloch and abducted several others.   The bodies of abductees Ghafoor and Ramzan Baloch were found in Surjani town Karachi.  In Saami Kech one person was shot dead by unidentified gunmen.

On July 29^th, While Pakistan military is flexing its muscle in Balochistan, 70 Taliban Militants Bombed and Stormed a Dera Ismail Khan Prison, in the neighboring Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province.  During the attack Taliban Militants killed six guards, Executed six Shiite inmates, and released 250+ prisoners.  Although a handful of Pakistani security forces “engaged the attackers” none of the Taliban Militants were killed and they all Escaped unscathed along with the Prisoners into Waziristan.  Many of the escaped prisoners are reported to be Dangerous members of the banned LEJ Terrorist group.  

The prison officials have admitted they were forewarned of the impending attack, and even held a conference, yet made No Preparations.  Reports indicate that several Bombs were detonated along the walls, and the gates attacked with RPGs.  With the 400,000+ soldiers stationed in neighboring Balochistan, its inconceivable how such an attack could have succeeded without State Compliance.
