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.

CRI-en - Pakistani Army Kicks off Rescue Operation after Massive Quake

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.
