Pakistan army and its civilian death squads: How they are Governing Occupied Balochistan?

2011-12-02T07:54:00.001-08:00

Balochistan was forcefully annexed by Pakistan in March 1948against the will of the Baloch people. As a result five armed insurgencies werewitnessed against the occupation of Balochistan by Pakistan. The fifth and thelongest continued insurgency started in 2001 which has intensified in 2005 whenPakistan Air Forces (PAF) bombed several areas of Balochistan and killedinnocent women and children. In any war the victims has always been unarmedcivilians so is the case in Balochistan.

Pakistan has a notorious track record of committing genocide,mass murder, collective punishment and ruthless operations against anycommunity/nation asking for its rights which are snatched by the fascist state.History remembers Pakistan of committing a mass genocide of Bengalis whereestimated 3 million people were massacred in a record 6 months period. Around400,000 Bengali Women were raped by the Islamic Army of Pakistan. In Balochistan 15000 Marri tribesmen werekilled and others were sent in exile after the insurgency of 1973. In 1992-1998operation some 15000 Urdu speaking Muhajirs were killed by the same Pakistaniarmy with the help and approval of dominant Punjabi elite, in Karachi.

This fame of atrocities of Pakistan taught a new lesson tothe military establishment of committing selective genocide instead of massgenocide. This time when Baloch raised voice of their right toself-determination and independence of Baloch occupied state, Pakistaniestablishment and intelligence agencies adopted the new strategy of forceddisappearances, and kill and dump policy. Under this policy they torture thesevictims in secret torture cells and after acquiring information or finding thevictim irrelevant they are killed and bodies are dumped on desolate mountainsor empty city roads, bearing the scars of great cruelty. They all killed insimilar fashion; their arms and legs are snapped; faces are bruised andswollen. Flesh is sliced with knives or punctured with drills; genitals aresinged with electric prods. In some cases the bodies are unrecognizable,sprinkled with lime or chewed by wild animals. All have a gunshot wound in thehead and upper torso.

In last 15 months more than 350 such bodies of Balochstudents, political activists and intellectuals (Journalists, poets, teachers,doctors, lawyers and social activists) have been found who were earlier pickedup by Pakistan’s Para military forces operating under the name of Frontierconstabulary (FC).

Torture and mutilation of bodies dead and alive is moreproblematic, if only because it is odious to civilized society. Throughout theyears, those cultures which have "seen the light" have been horrifiedby the desecration of bodies committed by barbarians of other cultures. Wethink of the Nazis in World War II who justified torture and mutilation of livebodies for "scientific" purposes. The communists in Russia,especially under Stalin, committed similar atrocities on ethnic groups. TheKhmer Rouge beheaded and chopped the limbs from innocent people and left themby the thousands in the killing fields of Cambodia. European tribes beheadedtheir foes posting the heads along roads or at the town gates as a grislywarning to those who would oppose them. The Catholic Church in Europe,especially Spain, during the Inquisition tortured and mutilated those who itthought were possessed by the devil or those it simply wanted to get rid of forpolitical reasons.

The international human rights organizations like Amnestyinternational, Asian human rights commission, etc raised their concerns oversuch incidents, which triggered an alarm among the Pakistan intelligenceagencies and as a result they started operating using fake names to deceive theworld. Many armed organization such as Musalah Defah tanzeem,Sipa-e-Shudah-e-Balochistan and Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e Aman Balochistan have beenformed using their agents like Shafique Mengal, Siraj Raisani, Kohi KhanMengal, Imam Bheel, (who is also the sole financier of NP, a Pro-PakistanPolitical Party), Atta ur Rehman Mengal etc. These organizations recruit thereligious extremists, thugs, criminals and drug dealers as mercenaries, and inreturn get incentives and license to rob on highways, attack NATO supplies,smuggle drug from afghan border to anywhere in country and kidnap for ransom.

Ghulam Qadir Massori hand in had with Major Saleem Nawaz, Killer of Baloch people

Pakistani intelligence agencies has a vast experience ofestablishing and controlling such underground groups, which were used indifferent parts of the world, some of such organization which took birth fromthe womb of ISI and their area of operation are as follows:

S.No	Name of Organization	Area of Activity	Leaders
1.	Al Shams	East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh)
2.	Al Badar	East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh)
3.	Harkat-ul-Mujahideen	Afghanistan
4.	Thaliban	Afghanistan	Mullah Umer
5.	Lashkar-e-Thayaba	Indian Kashmir
6.	Ansar-ul-Islam	Indian Kashmir

11.	Baloch Musalah Defah Tanzeem	Balochistan: targets Baloch students, Political workers and Journalists	Atta-ur-Rehman Mengal and Kohi Khan Mengal
12.	Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e Aman Balochistan	Balochistan: targets Baloch students, Political workers and Journalists	Nawabzada Siraj Khan Raisani, Imam Bheel and Mullah Barkat (Operate in Makuran Region)
13.	Bugti Aman Force	Dera Bugti Balochistan, working against the loyalists of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti	Ghulam Qadir Massori Bugti
14.	Bijrani Marri Levis Force	Kohlu and Chamalang areas of Balochistan	Mir Hazar Khan Ramkhani

In war or armed conflicts, truth is the first casualty. Whois abducting the Baloch people and dumping their mutilated tortured bodiesremains a mystery to the military and Pakistani media. The stunning lack ofinterest in Balochistan's greatest murder mystery shows the resolve of thegovernment and the military in solving Balochistan issue. The mighty militarymen disown involvement of intelligence agencies in committing such barbaricacts at least in front of the media while in gathering of personal nature theyopenly claim how they are inflicting miseries on the Baloch people. The WildWest mindset did not got them anywhere in Bangladesh and surely the samestrategy will get them nowhere in Balochistan.

Siraaj Raisani with his private Militia

The country's powerful military and its unaccountableintelligence gang of sadistic serial killers are running the barbaric show inBaluchistan. Everyday a new headline is made of the latest victim of thesesadistic serial killers. Gen Javed Zia in his press conference made aremarkable statement, that `patriotic elements` had hit back against Balochinsurgents and those involved in desecrating the Pakistani flag. The so called“Patriotic Elements” are the creation of intelligence agencies that are also spottedaround roaming in cities with their private militias in non tax paid smuggledvehicles with jet black tinted glasses.

No one dares to raise the question that how come the victimsof enforced disappearances who were arrested by FC and Police in broad daylight in front of dozen of witnesses or at least the family members of thevictim get transferred to the Hands of these so-called “Patriotic Elements”.

Siraaj Raisani, Leader of Nefaaz-Aman-Balochistan

Recently Nawabsada Siraj Khan Raisani’s Tehreek-e-Nifaz-AmanBalochistan claimed that they are have thirty people from Chamalang theircustody who were two day prior arrested by FC in Chamalang after an operation.Similarly, this criminal group has claimed that they are holding 15 people fromDera Bugti, these fifteen people were also arrested by Pakistan Para-militaryforces during an offensive operation from different regions of Sui and DeraBugti. If these criminals gangs are notthe civilian death squad of Pakistan Army than how come these people arrestedby Para-Military (FC) are now in Mastung in Siraj Raisani’s Torture cells.

In addition, the Musallah Defa Tanzeem and Nefaaz-e-Amanhave recently released a list of at least 35 Journalists from Balochistan andwarned them to stop writing about Pakistani atrocities in Balochistan;otherwise they will be killed one after other. Prior to the issuing of thislist the Nefaaz-Aman-Balochistan had threatened to kill Journalist and writerAbdul Hafeez aka Hafeez Hasanabadi. They had also said that the Organisationwould kill his family members in most gruesome way by inflicting brutal agonyon them. Ironically, the Criminal group quoted Ahmar Mustikan a, US biasedblogger and self-proclaimed journalist, to back their accusations against MrHafeez. It is not yet clear whether Ahmar has any affiliations with this killergroup or they just took advantage of Ahmar’s anti Hafeez propagandas.

Samad Tagrani, thefinance secretary of Baloch National Movement getting arrested by localPolicemen and Intelligence agencies from Hub town, his dead tortured markedbody was found at Windar town of Balochistan

Similarly this picture shows the Samad Tagrani, the financesecretary of Baloch National Movement getting arrested by local Policemen and Intelligenceagencies from Hub town, his dead tortured marked body was found at Windar nearan army garrison but the responsibility of his murder was taken Baloch MusalahDefah Tanzeem which according to Gen Javed Zia is a “Patriotic Group” Hittingthe Balochs.

There are dozens of such incidents where local Policeauthorities picked up victims, or FC picked up a victim in a Raid and latertheir bodies were found with confession letters from the so-called PatrioticGroups.

The same bloody game is being repeated again, the samestrategy is being adopted again and the same tools of death has been used againto deter what the army thinks as an insurgency. The number of killings anddeaths will lead to more people joining the ranks of the Baloch freedomfighters in order to take revenge of the atrocities committed to them or theirfamily members by the military establishment. At the moment it seems that therewill be no end to this sorry saga of executions in Balochistan.

Kharotabad: A Taliban safe haven

2011-10-30T04:14:00.000-07:00

By Qaiser Butt

ISLAMABAD:
People in Kharotabad are living in constant fear of possible drone attacks in their neighbourhood, considering that over the past six months, the Afghan and local Taliban seemed to covet this part of Quetta as a veritable ‘vacation spot’.

Every four months, Taliban fighters return from war fronts in Afghanistan and rent out dozens of residential accommodations in this vicinity, The Express Tribune has learnt.

Their presence is becoming a major concern for people living in adjoining areas, especially because this is the same area where the US alleges the Quetta Shura is hiding out.

A few madrassahs in Kharotabad are also providing ‘free’ accommodation to these militants.

They move freely as if to defy invisible observers, who they think are keeping a watch over them, making it obvious to them that Kharotabad is a safe haven for the Taliban.

Creating an army

Students from religious seminaries in the province are being recruited for the Afghan Taliban movement, a dime a dozen. They are reportedly ‘trained for jihad’ in Afghanistan by Afghan ‘commanders’, before they are sent on designated terror missions.

At least six to eight new, unarmed recruits leave Kuchlak Bazar, located near Quetta, on brand new 75CC motorbikes every morning, headed towards Afghanistan.

They are, it is learnt, told to avoid travelling on main highways to dodge security forces and instead take lesser known mountainous routes via Kuchlak to Qamar Din Karez town on the Pak-Afghan border.

They also avoid travelling in groups – two persons per motorbike. They are also given Rs5,000 each, in addition to sufficient money for fuel.

A majority of these boys join Taliban with their parent’s consent, while many others embark on this ‘holy mission’ without the knowledge of their guardians.

The ideology faction of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), led by MNA Maulana Esmatullah and his party members, is a motivating force for these young students of Balochistan.

Mullah Omar’s messages to people in Pakistan and other parts of the world are also sent through Kandahar to Quetta.

Free medical care for war-wounded Taliban

The Afghan and local Taliban who are wounded during their missions in Afghanistan, are reportedly receiving free medical treatment at five prominent private hospitals, a majority of which are situated on the Airport Road.

The administration at these hospitals told The Express Tribune that an international NGO of world repute, funds their medical care.”We are being paid by this NGO for the medical care being provided to the wounded or sick Taliban militants,” the administrator at Dr Abdul Khaliq Memorial Hospital alleged.

The NGO does not allow the police or intelligence agencies access to these “under-treatment” Taliban. The NGO puts up a ‘don’t know’ front “We have not set up any field hospitals in Balochistan to provide medical assistance to the Afghan Taliban or other militants,” the NGO’s head of sub-delegation told The Express Tribune.

However, he said, the NGO is supporting three private hospitals in Quetta for providing medical assistance to wounded people. “Doctors at Ikram Hospital and Imdad Hospital are providing medical assistance to people injured in bomb blasts, firing incidents and other forms of violence.”

Hundreds of patients, mostly Afghans, receive treatment at these private hospitals in the provincial capital, he added.

BBC Documentary: Secret Pakistan a Story of Double Game

2011-10-30T03:30:00.000-07:00

By Sam Collyns

Series Producer,

BBC Two's Secret Pakistan

Pakistan has been accused of playing a double game, acting as America's ally in public while secretly training and arming its enemy in Afghanistan according to US intelligence.

In a prison cell on the outskirts of Kabul, the Afghan Intelligence Service is holding a young man who alleges he was recruited earlier this year by Pakistan's powerful military intelligence agency, the ISI.

He says he was trained to be a suicide bomber in the Taliban's intensifying military campaign against the Western coalition forces - and preparations for his mission were overseen by an ISI officer in a camp in Pakistan.

After 15 days training, he was sent into Afghanistan.

“Start Quote

In Afghanistan we saw an insurgency that was not only getting passive support from the Pakistani army and the Pakistani intelligence service, the ISI, but getting active support”

End Quote Bruce Riedel Adviser to President Obama in 2009

"There were three of us. We were put into a black vehicle with black windows. The police did not stop the car because it was obviously ISI. No-one dares stop their cars. They told me... you will receive your explosive waistcoat, and then go and explode it."

Taliban bases in Pakistan

The man recruited to be a suicide bomber changed his mind at the last minute and was later captured by the Afghan intelligence service.

But his story is consistent with a mass of intelligence which has convinced the Americans that, as they suspected, for the last decade Pakistan has been secretly arming and supporting the Taliban in its attempt to regain control of Afghanistan.

These suspicions started as early as 2002, when the Taliban began launching attacks across the border from their bases in Pakistan, but they became more widely held after 2006 when the Taliban's assault increased in its ferocity, not least against the ill-prepared British forces in Helmand province.

The final turning point in American eyes was the attack on Mumbai when 10 gunmen rampaged through the Indian city, killing 170 people - two weeks after Barack Obama's US presidential election victory in November 2008.

Despite Pakistan claiming it played no part in the attack, the CIA later received intelligence that it said showed the ISI were directly involved in training the Mumbai gunmen.

President Obama ordered a review of all intelligence on the region by a veteran CIA officer, Bruce Riedel.

Taliban commander Najib says he was trained by Pakistan military intelligence

"Our own intelligence was unequivocal," says Riedel. "In Afghanistan we saw an insurgency that was not only getting passive support from the Pakistani army and the Pakistani intelligence service, the ISI, but getting active support."

Training and supplies

Pakistan has repeatedly denied the claims. But the BBC documentary series Secret Pakistan has spoken to a number of middle-ranking - and still active - Taliban commanders who provide detailed evidence of how the Pakistan ISI has rebuilt, trained and supported the Taliban throughout its war on the US in Afghanistan.

"For a fighter there are two important things - supplies and a place to hide," said one Taliban commander, who fights under the name Mullah Qaseem. "Pakistan plays a significant role. First they support us by providing a place to hide which is really important. Secondly, they provide us with weapons."

Another commander, Najib, says: "Because Obama put more troops into Afghanistan and increased operations here, so Pakistan's support for us increased as well."

He says his militia received a supply truck with "500 landmines with remote controls, 20 rocket-propelled grenade launchers with 2000 to 3000 grenades... AK-47s, machine-guns and rockets".

Pakistani military

Evidence of Pakistan's support for the Taliban is also plain to see at the border where insurgents are allowed to cross at will, or even helped to evade US patrols.

And the recent drone attacks in Pakistan have become increasingly effective as intelligence has been withheld from the Pakistanis, claims Mr Riedel.

"At the beginning of the drone operations, we gave Pakistan an advance tip-off of where we were going, and every single time the target wasn't there anymore. You didn't have to be Sherlock Holmes to put the dots together."

Osama Bin Laden's capture and killing followed this same model - the Americans acting on their own, to the humiliation of Pakistan. Trust between the two supposed allies has never been lower.

Bin Laden was the reason America had attacked Afghanistan and overthrown the Taliban who had always refused to hand him over. His death has removed a major obstacle to peace.

Peace talks

But those who claim that Pakistan's hidden hand has shaped the conflict fear the same is now true of the negotiations for peace. Last year, in the Pakistani city of Karachi, Mullah Baradar, the Taliban's second-in-command, was captured by the ISI.

Secretly, Baradar had made contact with the Afghan government to discuss a deal that would end the war. He had done so without the ISI's permission and he was detained "to bring him back under control" according to one British diplomat.

More recently, Hawa Nooristani, a member of Afghanistan's High Peace Council, says she was called to a secret meeting.

Waiting for her was a commander from the most lethal faction of the Taliban, the Haqqani network, which first brought suicide bombing to Afghanistan. To her astonishment he said he wanted peace talks.

"He said it was vital Pakistan intelligence knew nothing of the meeting. He said not to disclose it because Pakistan does not want peace with Afghanistan and even now they are training new Taliban units.

"He was also scared that the Pakistanis will arrest him because he lives in Pakistan and he said it would be easy for them to arrest him."

Talks with the Taliban collapsed after the killing of former President Rabbani

The Afghan government began peace talks with the Taliban but these were abandoned after its chief negotiator, former President Rabbani, was killed by a suicide bomber purporting to be a Taliban envoy.

Any future peace will have to be concluded with Pakistan President Karzai has since declared

To American policy advisers like Bruce Riedel, the message is clear:

"The ISI may not be able to deliver the Taliban to the negotiating table, but they can certainly spoil any negotiations process. So far, there's very little sign, that I've seen, that Pakistan is interested in a political deal."

While denying links to the Taliban, Pakistan insists that it is doing no more than what any country would do in similar circumstances.

"We cannot disregard our long term interest because this is our own area," said General Athar Abbas, chief spokesman for Pakistan's military.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a recent visit to Pakistan: "The Pakistanis have a role to play, they can either be helpful, indifferent or harmful."

But there are those like Mr Riedel who fear that the forces unleashed in 10 years of war may yet come to haunt the whole world:

"There is probably no worse nightmare, for America, for Europe, for the world, in the 21st Century than if Pakistan gets out of control under the influence of extremist Islamic forces, armed with nuclear weapons...The stakes here are huge."

What happens in Pakistan may yet be the most enduring legacy of 9/11 and the hunt for Bin Laden.

Raisani threatens Political opponents: I am coming after you before you pursue me

2011-03-19T03:37:00.000-07:00

Quetta: Chief of Sarawaan chief minister of Balochistan Nawab Raisani said that Balochistan situation being deteriorate intentionally to push Baloch nation toward civil chaos. While talking to NNI, he said “Balochistan is my homeland, because my forefathers belong to this land and Pakistan is my home because within its framework we will get our constitutional right. If all are going on the path of destruction, I will not be a silent spectator to all this.”

He further said that the settlers living in Balochistan are our brothers; they have been serving this province for several decades. They have brightened the Educational institutes with the light of knowledge but instead they are being humiliated and corpses are being sent to their homes. He said I would ask these people to stop destroying the Baloch and I urge the Baloch Nation to question those who are determined to destroy Baloch traditions before the world.

Those who are targeting innocent people I don’t consider them Baloch and if anyone doesn’t consider me Baloch; I don’t need a certificate of being Baloch from such miserable people’s University. Some so called Nationalists and terrorists who kill innocent people are creating hatred in Baloch populated areas hence they pushing Balochistan towards a civil war. These people are also threatening me and my family.

The Chief Minister said he know very well who were behind deteriorating the situation from Sub-district Bhag to Kolpur and Kalat and Khuzdar and “I want to tell them clearly that I am coming after you before you peruse me”.

He said today also he was following the philosophy of Mir Ghaus Bux Bezinjo because he had said that “Pakistan is our country and we all have struggle for our constitutional rights within Pakistan”. Mir Ghaus Bezinjo had also said that if Pakistan breaks apart then we’ll kill and destroy each other because we Baloch do not tolerate each other, Mr Raisani was quoted as saying by Daily Intekhab Urdu News paper.

The Chief Minister said that “even today I am struggling for the right of oppressed nationalities and for a stronger Pakistan in accordance with 1940 resolution. I still demand for a new social agreement to give rights to the people of all units and I ask Baloch, Pashtun, Punjabis, Sindhis and all other nations dwelling in the country to stand up to killers and terrorists who are busy conspiring to weaken the roots of this country for their evil purposes”.

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.

Third rate reporting on intellibrief

2010-11-21T08:15:00.000-08:00

We ask our readers particularly the Baloch Nation, Baloch youth and professional Baloch writers to read the this very cheap report published on Nageesh’s site and written jointly by Nagesh himself, Dr Wahid, we prefer not to call him a Baloch and Jumma 1000 Khan. We have only come to this conclusion after we found out the coordination between Jumma, Wahid and Nagesh. Wahid posted a very cheap, fake and biased report on Yahoo groups in the name of BalochAwaam, Nagesh posted on his website and Jumma started distributing the link of report to Baloch users of facebook. Two other crooks of this cheap gang Maulana Tariq Subra and Muneer Mengal posted their comments endorsing the gutter language of Dr Wahid and supported him.

We compared Jumma’s facebook conversations that we received from our readers, Skype audio conversations and msn chats he almost used the same gutter language against not only Khair Bux Marri and his family but he also spoke against Baloch writer Hafeez Hasan Abadi, Ahmar Mustikhan, Samander Askani, the first chairman of BNM Shaheed Ghulam Mohammad Baloch, Shaheed Balaach Marri, former chairman of BNM Asa Zaffar Baloch, Dr Allah Nazar Baloch and some other prominent Baloch leaders. In each conversation with different people he tried to brain wash them by telling them fake stories and lies against Baloch leaders and Baloch struggle. Our readers told us that Jumma is now-a-days busy brain washing Baloch youth against Sarmachaars on facebook and msn chat rooms. He also threatened Samandar Askani, Ahmar Khan and a Baloch sister on facebook that he can harm them anywhere in the world.

The credibility of the report post on Nagesh Bhushan’s web blog can be judged by the fact that first he put up the picture of Dr Lahku Luhana the leader of World Sindhi Congress and named him a Samander Askani Baloch. He only changed the picture after he has been provided another picture by Ali Arjumandi the brother of missing Ehsan Arjumandi. We still don’t know whether that is Samander’s picture or is he another victim of the dirty gang? Reading the report thoroughly one can see that everywhere in the report it is mentioned “said one, asked one Baloch, question one etc.” Such style of reporting obviously proves that it is a fake report, Nagesh, Jumma and his gang are fake supporters of Baloch cause and in reality they are working against Baloch National interest. They should be treated just like any other traitor of Balochistan. It is a matter of shame that Jumma is spreading disunity among Baloch people in the name of Baloch Unity.

Mr jumma keep on giving references of Mr Shaitan Malik. This pink haired evil B******* Malik told hundreds of lies about Baloch and Balochistan and one is his favourite rhetoric is that Baloch missing persons have gone to Dubai, Saudi etc shall we believe him. Rehman Malik blamed Dr Allah Nazar for the killing of Mullah Bux of pro establishment NP. Rehman Malik said Habib Jalib’s own wife killed him shall we believe him? Rehman Malik said that there are no missing persons in Balochistan and no military operation is being carried out. Jumma1000 Khan is no different than Shaitan Malik unless he changes himself practically and start working for the interest of Baloch people.

This bunch of crooks is unfortunately, being led by the king of Cardiff and Drama King of Moscow.

Following video message is for the King of Cardiff and his gang. Gwashingaa Nasir Kamalan Baloch who has been abducted by Pakistani army.

Let’s not forget the Bangkok Conference and Nagesh’s role of inviting his Pakistani friends. Two days ahead of conference he called his Pakistani friends in Bangkok, gave them the location of the conference and asked them to protest against it so that it gets the media attention.

In our next investigative report we will bring you the facts about Shaiza Khali Baloch aka Munir Mengal

Do you want a civil war?

2010-11-02T17:17:00.000-07:00

By Nizar Baloch

"Do you want a civil war?" Was the question which broke India and created Pakistan, the mistake which the world is still paying for? Mahatma Gandhi was a man of peace and believed in “ahimsa” and practiced it. He agreed to swallow the bitter pill from Jinnah and accepted Pakistan as a separate state, just to avoid a civil war and the bloodshed. But what we see is that the bloodshed wasn't avoided at that time, and worse, the bloodshed still didn't stop after 63 years from the separation.

Now, we should ask ourselves, which one would have been a better choice and would have caused less bloodshed and less damage to India and the world, a civil war at that time or the creation of Pakistan?

We all want peace, but not at any cost. When it comes to losing our identity and our motherland, then we prefer the war. The war is the price for the peace in occupied lands, and it has been proven all around the world in every era and by all the colonies from Asia, Africa, and South America and to the USA itself which fought for its freedom and then it fought another war for uniting the South with the North. If none of these wars were wrong despite the heavy causalities, then how come our movement for independent Balochistan could be wrong? If they all have the right to fight the colonial powers for their independence, then why don’t we have the same right? If they were freedom fighters, then our Sarmachars are freedom fighters too. If today, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Che Guevara, Abraham Lincoln and other freedom fighters are national heroes, then why Nawab Bugti, Nawab Mari, Balaach Mari,Brahamdagh Bugti, Dr. Allah Nizar, Dr Khalid, Wahid Qambar, Abdul Nabi Bangulzai, Hairbyar Mari and all other freedom movement supporters are not heroes?

If the world helped and supported these nations to become free and independent nations, then the civilised world is obliged to support the Baloch nation according to the UN charters to get its freedom and stop the slow genocide and save the valuable lives which the Pakistani agencies torturing them to the death and then throwing their bodies on the streets.

Before we talk about the civil war and how to avoid it, let’s see if we are actually heading to a civil war and who is causing it and how?

The Baloch nation has been in war with Pakistan since it attacked and occupied Balochistan in 1948, the war which we didn’t choose to have, it was imposed on us by Pakistan and its agencies. This is the fifth major military operation by Pakistan in Balochistan. The Pakistani agencies are kidnapping, torturing and killing our loved ones with the support of some sold Baloch items. Thousands of Baloch men, women and children lost their lives during the torture and in the military, FC and police bombardments and firings.

We all hold the Pakistani government fully responsible for the military operation in Balochistan and all the damages it is causing to Baloch and Balochistan. Pakistan pulled us to the war by occupying our homeland and looting our resources and then kidnapping, torturing and killing whoever resists their colonial plans. Pakistani military, FC, Police, Levis, ISI, MI and its provincial and federal parliaments are all part of the same Pakistani government and they all share the responsibility of the military operation in Balochistan and martyrdom of our loved ones. If anybody, be a Punjabi, Pashtun, Sindhi or Baloch takes part in the Pakistani government or helps it in a way or another by providing information or logistic support to function and harm the Baloch nation, should be held fully responsible for his crimes and should not be spared.

If the UN charter and Geneva Convention allow you to target the army in the war, then what stops us from targeting the army men in civvies? Whoever is on the army or its agencies pay cheque is a legitimate target and there should be no exception to this rule. Being born in a Baloch house or having a Balochi name should not give anybody the immunity from punishment for the crimes he commits.

Unfortunately, after 63 years, the followers of Jinnah joined the war by supporting the Pakistani government on its crimes against the Baloch nation. Being the follower of Jainnah and his Pakistan, they are still using his techniques and questions and threatening our “Mahatma Gandhi” of a civil war and trying to take advantages from our kindness and the respect we have for the Baloch name, to cover their crimes against the Baloch nation and Balochistan.

Should targeting Hazar Khan with his 1000 Levis cause a civil war? Or killing the NP leader and underworld don Imam Bhill and his supporters become the reason for a civil war? No, because they are already engaged in an open war against the Baloch nation, then why and how on earth, cleaning our motherland from these traitors will bring a civil war? As BSO chairman sangat Bashir Zaib said: “If fighting the Pakistani government and its agencies is not a civil war, then how come fighting their supporters would be a civil war?” The person who is not against the military operation, he is with it.

It is our right and responsibility to defend ourselves, our families, friends and our motherland against the invaders and the traitors, it doesn't matter who they are. If the parliamentarians are sincere and they don't want a war (I don’t call it a civil war), then they should walk out from the parliament and never go back. Because they can't be sitting in the Pakistani parliament and be part of the operation against the Baloch nation and expect not to be punished. If they want to be Pakistanis because they like the colour of the Pakistani money and take part, support, approve, defend or keep a blind eye on kidnapping and killing of innocent Baloch people, then they should be ready to get treated like Pakistanis and pay the price for their crimes. And they should be men enough to face the consequences of their crime and stop crying and confusing the nation and threatening them of a civil war.

I request all the Baloch people to boycott the Pakistani government, its parliament, its forces and its supporters. Be a Baloch and support Balochistan. And I request all Sarmachar and their supporters to be ready for the war, if they want peace. The person who takes part in the military operation and in kidnapping, torturing and killing of innocent Baloch people is not a Baloch, and killing him will not cause a civil war. The supporters of the Pakistani government and the parliament are Pakistanis, not Baloch, don’t hesitate to target them. These traitors are causing more damage than all the Pakistani agencies, so why should they be spared?

I end this with a nice poem of the great Baloch poet waja Atta Shad and some proverbs to read and think about.

“ tu bugush harchi o man hichi magushan bot na kant, tu bekan kahr o manan mehr bibit, chosh na bit”

Drug Mafia and National Party

2010-10-15T12:18:00.000-07:00

"I started my politcal carrer with gaus bux bizanjo and i m follower of his ideology and our ideolgy is same thats why i m joing National pary" IMAM BIZANJO (BHIL)

Mr.Imam Bheel is the world 3rd most wanted Drug Dealer, the details about this person can be found on following website:

http://hot.town9.com/heroin-dealers-put-pakistani-on-list-of-drug-barons/

National Party is financed by such drug dealers, in return National Party will protect politically, or perhaps one day this drug dealer may reach parliment and become Home Minister of Balochistan under the banner of National Party. Late Leader of National Party Mr Moula Bakash Dashthi was against the induction of Imam Bheel in the Party, which annoyed Imam Bhel and those other senior members who received expensive gifts from the drug mafia murdered Maula Bakash Dashthi and blamed the murder on BLF & Dr Allah Nazar. Hence killing two Birds with one arrow, removed the hurdle and pleasing ISI.

An Introduction to National Party

2010-10-14T10:20:00.000-07:00

National Party President Dr. Malik who claims to be a representative of the middle class and progressive class of Balochistan, while on his visit to a school in Makuran was greeted by the teacher and the students, meanwhile he saw something written on the blackboard of that class, he asked for the explanation of that phrase; the student as well as the teacher failed to explain the term on which the great leader got annoyed and angrily asked who the hell appointed you as a teacher, to his embarrassment the teacher replied “Sir it was you when you were the Provincial Education minister, you appointed me and hundreds of other like me who don’t even had degrees or former schooling as teachers in Balochistan”. On this the great middle class leader left his visit half completed and rushed out and decided not to visit any school all his life.

The Question on the implications of appointment of hundreds of illiterate and unqualified teachers in the length and breadth of Balochistan will bring for the future of Baloch Nation will be answered by the time only.

Lets compare the words and actions of the National Party leaders which change from time to time:

Revolution doesn’t require Vote it needs Blood. Dr Malik Baloch (1978-1988)

Revolution needs Education & Access to parliament, Dr Malik baloch and Hasil Bizenjo (1998-2010)

What were the reason that changed the philosophy and vision of the self proclaimed leadership of National Party from revolution through struggle to revolution through parliament, and how much they really believe in what they claim?

The change started when the former leaders of BSO made a mainstream political party under the leadership Shaheed Fida Baloch with the name of BNYM, the motive of this party was revolutionary and non parliamentary, but some black sheep in BNYM (later changed into BNM) martyred Shaheed Fida Baloch and hence BNYM/BNM suddenly transformed into a pro- Pakistani parliament party and cashed the popularity and martyrdom of their leader to get into Pakistani parliament, enjoy the power and lust of corruption since then stuck this group of opportunists. The rise of this opportunist leadership from the Makuran region started a dark period of our national history in Makran because nationalism and Baloch question were prohibited words in the vocabulary of our so-called middle-class politicians.

BNM defeated Ghous Bakash Bizenjo on the slogan of Baloch Nationalism and terming Mr. Bizenjo as Baba-e-Muzakirath (Father of Negotiations), and loyal pet of ISI/MI, but after his death, they realized that they were not different from the old dude and hence merged their Party with Mr. Bizenjo son’s Party and forming a new party named as National Party (But Ghulam Muhammad Baloch who was one of the loyal friend of Shaheed Fida Baloch and was sidelined by the Dr. Malik & Co in the BNM-(HAI), revived the BNM of Shaheed Fida Ahmed). National Party claims to complete Mr. Ghous Bux’s Mission and act upon his Philosphy a famous term used is “Fikr-e-Bizenjo”. A philosophy no National Party leader had so far explained to me. What is this Fikr-e-Bizenjo, what are the silent features of this Fikr-e-Bizenjo.

Dr. Malik & Co started propaganda and venom spitting against Baloch leadership since they reached the parliament in 1989, Initially they raised the slogans of anti Sardari system and termed their party as a anti sardar and representative of baloch middle class, but soon they made Sardari Sanaullah Zehri etc as their party leaders hence forgetting the claims of anti sardari system. Than National Party leaders claimed to fight against the drug dealers, but soon accepted Imam Beal Bizenjo,who is the 4^th most wanted drug dealer in the world as their party leader, claiming that he will help promoting Fikr-e-Bizenjo.

National Party’s senior leader Late Mir Maula Baksh Dashti, who was killed by relatively unknown group Peoples Liberation Army a few months back, was said to be unhappy on the induction of Imambhel Bizenjo in National Party, considering its bad impact on the Party Image and popularity in Makuran. As a result he was eliminated by National Party leaders Hasil Bizenjo & Imam Bhel, and taking advantage of the incident and started a massive propaganda against the resistance forces active in Makuran region. An exchange of statement between NP leadership and Baloch Liberation Front (Baloch Armed Resistance Group) made confusions and disheartening among the Baloch Masses, even though BLF clearly denied any linkages with the killing the national party is blaming their own crimes on BLF. One can easily understand what could be the motives of this propaganda campaign against Baloch leader Dr. Allah Nazar and BLF, and why Mir Maula Baksh Dashti was murdered.

The reasons for the murder of Mir Maula Bakash Dasthi may include following reasons, he was against the induction of Drug mafia in NP, he was openly criticizing the decisions of Dr. Malik and Hasil on Imam Bhel inclusionin the party, Imam Bhel could provide enormous amount of funding and power to the national party for any future elections, hence he was more important than a old chap who was rather a liability on the party, the murder could easily be balmed on resistance forces because Mr. Dashti was invited Gen. Musharaf for army operation against Baloch Resistance Forces in Makuran, NP leaders will get more incentives from MI/ISI for creating rifts and division among Baloch masses.

Raisani must be kidding

2010-09-26T11:06:00.000-07:00

If historians and journalists were waiting for a haunting quote from Balochistan’s chief minister, here it comes. Nawab Mohammad Aslam Raisani, the chief minister, astounded everyone in Khuzdar during a press-talk by saying that most of the missing persons had “deliberately gone underground to malign the country’s intelligence agencies”. If former military dictator General Pervez Musharraf’s infamous quote, “it is not the 70s that you will hit and run…We will hit you in a way that you don’t know what hit you”, has become one of the most widely quoted statements of a man who devastated Balochistan, one can assertively predict that this statement of Chief Minister Raisani will go down in the history as the most disgraceful proclamation ever made by a Baloch chief minister.

The chief minister repeated what was once said by former dictator General Pervez Musharraf and subsequently by Rehman Malik, the current interior minister, that the missing persons had willingly gone abroad. Gone abroad? For what? He said the elements responsible for target killings were also responsible for hiding their associates and then showing them as “disappeared people”. In his words, the missing persons have deliberately gone underground and now the issue is being raised to embarrass the country’s intelligence agencies. Raisani, the fist chief minister in the history of Balochistan to be elected unopposed, is of the view that it is unreasonable on the part of the missing persons’ families to hold the agencies responsible for the whole mess.

Expectedly, a very emotional reaction has come from the families of the missing persons in response to the chief minister’s statement. If the government cannot deliver justice to the families of the missing persons due to its inefficiency and powerlessness to check the influence of the secrete services then it should not at least hurt the sentiments of the mothers, sisters, wives, daughters and sons of the missing persons. Once living a dignified and peaceful life inside their homes, these Baloch mothers are seen languishing from one press club to the other while holding the photographs of their beloved ones. Politics is one thing but no one, including the chief minister, has the right to insult human feelings to give a coverup to his government’s inefficiencies.

Government stance on the issue of disappeared people has varied from time to time due to its very ‘sensitive’ nature. No county in the world has such a high number of missing persons as Pakistan. Majority of them belong to Balochistan. When civil society organizations raised the issue very vocally, the government of Pervez Musharraf refuted such reports and said there were no missing persons. When pressure mounted after the family members of the missing persons coordinated with each other and organized themselves, they emerged as a loud and powerful voice. Amana Masood Janjuha in the Punjab and the family members of Ali Asghar Bangulzai in Balochistan must be applauded for pioneering the movement for the recovery of missing persons.

When the cat was out of the bag during Musharraf government, the Chief Justice of Pakistan Ifthakar Mohammad Chaudhary took suo moto notice of several missing persons’ cases. It was in fact a very selective process of dispensing justice because no Baloch gained relief out of the initiatives taken by the CJP. Yet, the CJP was sacked by Musharraf on the issue of missing persons which manifested the omnipotence of the forces that are masterminding these cases of disappearance.

At another stage, former interior minister Aftab Ahmed Sherpao, confirmed with the media in Turbat (Balochistan) that some four thousand people were missing in Balochistan. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) also quoted these figures in its comprehensive fact-finding report on Balochistan.

Inaction led to frustration. The Baloch Liberation United Front (BLUF) kidnapped an American national, who was heading the Quetta office of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), in February this year solely to press the government of Pakistan to release around 1400 missing or detained Baloch persons and some 141 women allegedly kept in the custody of security forces. That episode also failed to yield any positive results in the case of missing persons.

Worst still, the Chief Justice of Pakistan has completely kept quit on the Baloch missing persons issue after his reinstatement on the prestigious post. Despite belonging to Balochistan, Chaudhary has disappointed the family members of the missing Balochs. Even some key members of the judicial movement that led to the restoration of the deposed chief justice now say they squandered their energies at a wrong place. The movement did not worth it, they say, because it failed to bring justice to Balochistan.

Raisani’s current statement –about missing persons having deliberately gone underground to miligan the intelligence agencies –sounds ridiculous given the fact that Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani, who belongs to the same party of the Balochistan Chief Minister, issued a verified list of 992 missing Baloch persons this month. Does Raisani have an answer to the families of at least these 992 missing persons? Why would these people go underground as most of them belong to the families that live below poverty line? The missing persons’ list includes people from lower professions such as students, shopkeepers, tailor masters, clersk, paramedics etc.

Besides being the chief minister of Balochistan, Raisani is a reputed tribal chief in Balochistan. Thus, people want to share their sorrows with them with the hope that the latter can play a role to resolve their problems. He should apologize to the aging mothers of the missing persons for deeply hurting their sentiments as these aggrieved mothers now prepare to sit on a hunger strike in front of Quetta Press Club from December 30th amid freezing temperature of Quetta.

Religious Butcher Pakistan

2010-09-03T11:11:00.000-07:00

Pakistan has a long history of using Religion as a weapon to play for her own vested interests. Be it the creation of a Punjabi Dominated State named Islamic republic of Pakistan (Where one can hardly find Islam as a principal for justice and equality), or using the Islamic card for making a Nuclear bomb, Destruction of Afghanistan, Genocide in Bangladesh, Genocide in Balochistan and proxy war against India, Pakistan Used Islam as a Tool, and successfully manipulated the illiterate and uneducated people for the dangerous designs of Pakistan establishment.

Pakistan was created by the colonial power Great Britain to curtail the Communist expansion, using the name of Islam, and since that day Punjabi establishment used the Islamic card on every occasion she could. The First Prime minister of Pakistan chose American block making an excuse that the USSR block is non muslim atheists whereas Americans are followers of Chrisit who was a true prophet.

Similarly Pakistan used the Fanatic mullahs in Bangladesh against the pro liberation Bengalis and created Extremist armed groups like Al-Badar, Al-shams and Razakars for massacre of the Pro liberation Bengalies. Jumat-e-Islami and other religious political parties played an important role for the propaganda and recruitment process of these armed groups of mercenaries, by spreading rumors that the Bengali resistance forces are actually Hindus and killing them will get you to heavens where 60 Hurs (Fairies) are waiting for you. Millions of Muslim were massacred, raped and displaced by these so-called Islamic Groups in the name of Islam.

After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan once again utilized the Islamic Card to fight the proxy war of the west in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is till date facing the consequences of that war. During the same era getting encouraged with the success of muhjaideens in Afghanistan decided to use teh sialmic card in Kashmir and elsewhere. As a result the Kashir valley started burning in the war on the name of war between Islam and Hindusim. Hundred and thousands of Kashmiri Hindu Pandits were massacred and force to migrate from Kashmir.

The Same game was played in Chechenya, by inducing Islamic fanatic in the genuine Chechen resistance forces resulting in the complete highjeck of the movement by Al-qida and Thaliban.

Gen Zia who was a follower of Wahabi version of Islam, created Islamic sectarian groups to undermine the Shia Minority in the country, this project was funded by the Saudi Government and as a result the groups like Sipa-e-Sahaba and lashkar-e Jangwai were created, who murdered thousands of innocent shia muslim so far. Iran the sister country of Pakistan as a result created shia armed groups and used them against the sunni muslims.

Now in Balochistan once again Pakistan is playing the same game in order to ignite a civil war, for this purpose numerous Baloch leaders were murdered by the so-called Sipa-e-Shuda-e Balochistan, and Ansar-ul-Islam type fake groups, beside that Lashkar-e-Jangwai is Used against the Shia of Balochistan, and one can find Pakistani media claiming that BRA, BLA and Lashkar-e-Jangwai are collaborating against the shias. On contrary to this everyone knows that BLA & BRA are strictly secular and nationalist forces whereas Lashkar-e-Jangwai is a Extremist Wahabi Group. The Nationalist Forces of Balochistan had always fought agaisnt the religious extremists and until recently many Baloch Political workers and leaders were killed by these religious elements on the name of Islam blaming the Balochs being communists and atheists. The Question rises how come these two opposite & rival force will collaborate with each other. When Baloch is never motivated to fight on the name of religion.

Moreover Lashkar-e-Jangwi is a Punjab based organization promoted and supported by Pakistani ISI for its own vested interests, how come aAnti Pakistan and anti ISI resistance movement will support such a group.

These rumors of BLA & BRA collaboration with Lashkar-e-Jangwi is just an effort by the enemies of Baloch to defame Baloch movement on national and international fronts and create tensions among the Local Baloch with the Afghanistan based Hazara Community who have mostly migrated and settled in Balochistan after the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

It is the need of the time that Baloch Political parties, Baloch intellectuals and writers should expose the ISI/MI drama and Isolate the sectarian religious groups in Baloch Society.

Blood Speaks

2010-08-22T17:18:00.000-07:00

“Blood speaks” is a proverb I personally never believed it to be true, but when one studies the role of few notables of Balochistan this proverb seems to be correct. The proverb fits in both senses i.e. those who sacrificed EVERYTHING for the sake of MOTHERLAND and those who sacrifice MOTHERLAND for EVERYTHING. In first Case we see examples like Nawab Nouroz Khan who sacrificed his everything for the motherland and in other cases we see people like Sardar Doda Khan Zarakzai and sons who sacrificed Motherland for everything else.

Sardar Doda Khan Zehri became the Sardar of Zehri tribe after the martyrdom of the Nawab Nouroz Khan and his sons; Doda Khan was cousin of Nawab Nouroz Khan. He came into focus during the “NAP” Government when he with the help of Bhutto regime and Pakistani army waged a war support Jamoots against Mengals, and after the NAP Govt; was dismissed by Bhutto and a brutal military operation was startet in Baluchistan especially against Mengal and Marri tribes. Doda Khan used the opportunity and helped the Baloch enemies in order to get money and support from Pakistan against Sardar Ataullah mengal and other Balochs who were fighting for the liberation of Balochistan. Once Doda Khan confessed that “If I have any value in the eyes of enemies it’s because of Sardar Ataullah Khans stance for the rights of Balochs, if Sardar Ataullah stops fighting for the rights of Balochs, I will lose my attraction”.

Doda Khan also started collecting taxes and established a parallel government in his area in order to weaken the NAP government and provide an excuse to the federal government for dissolving the Baluchistan government. As the topic of the article suggests, after Doda Khan’s Death his sons kept his legacy and proved themselves loyal servents of Pakistani establishment and in return enjoyed ministries, wealth and power. Murders of the poor peasants, rape and kidnapping of poor girls of their tribe and illegal occupation of the lands of the peasants of their tribe are common crimes Sardar Doda Khan’s sons have been committing. They did not even spare their own Elder brother Rasool Bakhsh Zehri that is why they today at war with Doda Khan Junior the son of Rasool Baksh Zehri. Three Sons of Sardar Doda Khan namely Sardar Sana ullah Zehri, Sardar Israr Zehri, and Sardar Zafar Zehri are quite famous and are into news most of the time for different reasons.

Sardar Sana ullah Zehri: Sardar Sanaullah Zehri is the eldest son of Sardar Doda Khan; he is head of Zehri Tribe, chief of Jhalawan, a Minister in Provincial Government and leader of pro Punjab PML (N).

He has a long history of changing loyalties and creating rifts in different political parties that he joined from time to time. He used to be part of National Party, but when National Party announced to boycott the 2008 elections to appease ARD. Sanaullah Zehri made his own National Party parliamentarian. Source close to him say that he has direct links with GHQ Rawal Pindi and is a trusted man of Pakistan military.

Now that he realized that the next governing party in Pakistan might be the PML – N (Pakistan Muslim League –Nawaz Sharif), he jumped from being a Baluch Nationalist and become a Punjabi Nationalist. PML-N is a pure Punjabi and pro-Islamic extremist party. Their leader Nawaz Sharif had and (many people believe still have) close links with the leader of Al-Qaeeda Mr. Osama Bin Laden. It was the government of PML –N that has tested the deadliest nuclear bombs in Baluchistan, the after affects of which still continue to exist in Baluchistan in shape of different lethal dieses. PML – N’s student wing has attacked Baluch students several time and many of the Baluch students suffered serious injuries at the hand of this party.

Israr Ullah Zehri: Nawabzada Mir Israr Ullah Khan Zehri is currently Pakistan's Federal Minister for Postal Services. He hails from Jhalawan, Balochistan and is president of Balochistan National Party Awami. He became a member of the Senate of Pakistan in March 2006, with his term set to expire in 2012.

Zehri is a tribal leader, and has come under spotlight and heavy criticism both inside and outside Pakistan for openly supporting the traditional tribal practice of 'honor killing', but in a distorted vague manner. In August 2008, a report of the Asian Human Rights Commission alleged that five women (including three teenagers) in a remote village in Balochistan had been beaten, shot and buried alive in a ditch for the 'crime' of having wished to choose their own husbands. After human rights activists brought the case to national and international attention, Zehri defended the killings in Parliament and asked his fellow legislators not to make a fuss about the incident. He said, "These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them. Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid." It is a fact that honour killing is widely practiced in all over Pakistan and Baluchistan but Baluch traditions do not allow to burry anyone alive.

Israr Zehri did a blunder here and he played down the Baluch traditions. Similarly, in 1991 Israrullah Zahri backed the live burial of his own grandmother. Israrullah Zehri backed his elder brother Sanaullah Zehri to kill their eldest brother Rasool Bakhsh Zehri at the home of Nabi Bakhsh Zehri in Quetta in around 1990.

Beside this he is accused of many murders of his political opponents and peasants belonging to his own tribe. Like his brother he was responsible for the division of Balochistan National Party. He was in BNP and used to shout slogans in favor of Sardar Akther Mengal, but after the nuclear tests in Balochistan, Akther Mengal showed anger towards federal government and protested against the tests without taking him into confidence, though Akhtar Mengals protest started a bit too late because the damage had already been done, as chief Minister of Baluchistan he could have prevented it from happening but unfortunately, he chose to remain silent until the blast were actually carried out. After the atomic explosion on Baloch soil Amanullah Shahdainzai in one his columns even alleged that Akhtar Mengal drove Nawaz Sharif to the site of nuclear tests.

As a result the Pakistani establishment sought to punish Akther Mengal and used his puppet Israr to play his role and break BNP, and so BNP AWAMI took birth. Akther mengal lost his government and became the barb of ISI’s eyes.

Israrullah Zehri owns around 50,000 acres of agricultural lands worth several billions of rupees, mostly in Balochistan. The Zehri brothers (Israrullah Zehri, Sanaullah Zehri and Zafarullah Zehri) are selling Baluch tribal lands as their own to private properties and to military for building cantonments in Khuzdar.

Zafar Zehri: Zafar Zheri is currently the Home Minister of Baluchistan, the same seat that Shoaib Nausherwani enjoyed once. He has become the most hated person in Baluchistan after announcing head money for the arrest of some already Baluch disappeared persons in early 2010. On several occasion he guaranteed that the Baluch disappeared persons will be released and reunite with their families but nothing happened. When Abdul Ghafar Langove was arrested he promised to his family that Mr.Ghaffar will be found and released within 24 hours but a almost a year has passed and Mr. Ghaffar along with thousands of Baluch sons are still missing. Baluch families are protesting in front of Quetta press, Mr Zafar as the Home Minister of Baluchistan doesn’t even bother to pay a visit to the protest camps.

Phony Human Rights activist – conmen or genuine?

2010-08-08T10:02:00.000-07:00

It was end of 2005 when we first heard of the Idea of first Independent Balochi Language TV Channel, and the man behind this idea was student of Chartered Accountancy, Mr. Munir Mengal, who was doing his internship in State Bank of Pakistan. The idea was need of the time and got much appreciation and popularity among Baloch circles. This reaction encouraged Munir Mengal to initiate his charity campaign for the Baloch Voice TV. The campaign for funds mobilization included Musical Shows, donations, and controversial pre-corporation share sales. Everything was going well, millions of rupees were collected for the channel, when all of the sudden Munir Mengal was arrested at Karachi Airport and then made disappeared by Military Intelligence of Pakistan, Hence the story of Baloch Voice TV ended forever.

In 2009 Munir Mengal was highlighted in media once again, when he described the tales of torture and specially revealing the story of Mrs. Zarina Marri, he repeated the same statement in a British Court.

Initially everyone started getting inspired by the tales of Munir mengal and his dedication towards Baloch National Liberation, but with the passage of time the true face of Munir started getting exposed.

Before talking about his dirty games he is playing these days let us bring his past:

Munir Mengal who claims to be the Managing Director of a TV channel which never existed as well as he claims to be a Chartered Accountant a degree which he never completed, and says that he was an ex-employee of State Bank of Pakistan whereas in reality he was just a Internee for a period of 4 months in the Bank.

Munir Mengal is an example of perfect opportunist, he never lets any chances go in vain, he used to live in Karachi during his student life as a Paying guest, according to his friends he married the divorced daughter of the landlord in order to save himself from rent and the accommodation, breakfast, dinner and laundry expenses. In 2005, Munir Mengal issued several credit cards and leased a Suzuki Jeep from bank and never returned the dues of the banks, and hence he was declared absconder by the banks, his close friends who always helped Munir at the time of need became victim of Munir’s frauds because he made him his guarantor for issuance of credit cards and leased vehicle. Munir left Pakistan and went to Dubai in order to avoid any possible prosecution by the banks in forgery cases. Soon Munir returned from Dubai with an Idea of deceiving the Baloch Nation.

An opportunist he was it took him no time in analyzing the need of a Balochi language TV channel for the Baloch Movement for national liberation. He started a Campaign promoting his idea, held meetings with different political parties to get their support but he failed to convince them. When he failed to influence the mainstream political parties he targeted student parties, and he choose BSO Muthida (Now Azad), because of their strong attachment towards liberation of Balochistan. Munir started playing with their emotions and hence convince them to help Munir in his charity Campaign. He collected Millions in the name of Baloch Voice TV, the fate of which is never known to anyone except Munir. He was arrested from Karachi by Pakistani agencies and was made disappeared for few months and later he was handed over to police in Qalat. The police kept in a jail in Khuzdar. Eventually Munir was released on bail, soon after his release Munir went underground and no one heard from him until he surfaced in Dubai from where he chose France for asylum with the assistance of Reporters Without borders.

The witty and Opportunist Munir played his cards very well so far. Even at present he is busy exploiting Baloch liberation Movement for his own interest. He met the Indian guys Nagesh Bhusahn and Sushant Sareen, and gave a plan of creating a pressure group against Bramdagh Bugti and Hairbiar Marri, and assured the Indians that he will act as a proxy for them which the Bugti and Marri refused to do so. Hence he convinced the Indians with his magic of imposture to pay him a huge amount of money in the name of a so called Baloch conference in Bangkok. Munir along with his New Indian friends planned Bangkok Conference in which a new breed of Indian influenced leaders were to be produced in front of the world, the leaders who are merely individuals and have no political background inside Balochistan. According to Munir’s own words he took 60,000/- Euros from Indians for the Bangkok conference and he receives monthly salary from Nagesh & Sushant for doing propaganda against genuine Baloch leadership and Baloch freedom struggle.

Son of ex-guerilla commander and current Sobidar of Pakistan Levis force guarding Chamalang coal mines, Mr Jumma Marri, recently made some chilling revelations about Mr. Accountant Mengal that “Munir is a very clever man, he assured Indians that he can break BNM and make his own fraction which will act as a political front for the Indian brand leader as well he can split off BLF which will act as a militant wing of the Indian branded Baloch Resistance.”

Another sinister yet very serious revelation Jumma made is that “The Indian friends and ICRC are helping Munir Mengal to counter Baluch National Leader Khair Bux Marri”. Since the allegation against ICRC as an International Humanitarian Organisation is a very serious one and it make one wonder why would such an Organization help Munir to weaken Baluch cause? We have, so far, failed to find an answer to this Question. We think it would be wise for ICRC to come clean on such allegations and to clear their stance on Baluch issue, is the ICRC there to help the needy Baluch or is it there to promote Munir Mengal and counter Baluch freedom struggle?

Despite his failed attempts of being an International spokesperson of BNM (Baluch National Movement). Munir faced serious blow when the BNM exposed Munir Mengal’s lies and categorically denied having any links with Munir Mengal. As furious as one would expect him to be, Mr. Munir came up the idea of breaking BNM and he started spreading rumors of creating the so called BNM (Naztiyati). He sent several e-mails to his contacts and published a fake statement on Nagish’s weblog for his dirty game.

This failure brought Munir to a low level propaganda against the Baloch leadership. Currently Munir is busy in new rounds of conspiracy to earn more money and guess what? Munir is using a New name “Baloch Voice Foundation” for all these anti Baluch activities. Recently Munir claimed in Yahoo groups that he sent a team of doctors to Baluchistan’s Kacchi region where a mysterious has killed 10s of Baluch children in past few years. We have also been informed that one of the new dramas of Munir is: that he is trying to take the issue of Baluch disappeared persons case with ICJ and he claimed to have hired a team of lawyers for this purpose, obviously this a new way of getting sympathy and financial support from the Baluch people and milk more money from the International Humanitarian Organization in the name of Baluch disappeared persons, Baluch fatally ill children etc.

In the light of above details regarding Munir past and present one can easily conclude that Munir is neither a Human Rights activist nor a Political leader of Baluchistan. He is nothing but a conmen collecting funds for his own vested interests in the name of Human Rights and being so called political representative of the Baluch people.

International Baluch Human Right groups such as BHRC and BHRW that they have failed to raise the issue of Human Rights Violation in Baluchistan on International forums which is giving an opportunity to conmen like Munir Mengal and others to run fake foundations in the name of Baluch forcefully displaced person, Baluch disappeared people and Baluch Martyrs.

Baloch Nation should be aware of the real motives of Munir Mengal and others like him, and should not give them the chance to sabotage the successes the Baloch movement gained due to the sacrifices of Baloch sons and daughters. The blood of Baloch Martyrs should not be wasted for the personal gains of people like Munir Mengal, Suleman Dawood, and Tariq Sabro & Mir Hazar Khan Ramkani.

Question of 8 years old Baloch child, every one must see it

The new face of Al-Badr and Al-Shams

2010-07-15T00:26:00.000-07:00

Baloch Nation is fighting the war of independence against the Punjabi occupiers for last 8 years. Pakistan having the eighth largest army in the world had so far failed to crush the Genuine Baloch resistance Forces and therefore had adopted its tactics that it used in Bengal during the Bengali liberation movement. i.e. Pakistan’s notorious intelligence agencies had started creating new version of Al-Badr and Al-Shams (http://balochistanwatch.blogspot.com/2010/07/little-background-of-al-badar-and-al.html) with the names like :

• Baloch Muslha Defai Tanzeem
• Baloch Ghairatmand Tanzeem
• Tribal Bijrani Levis Force
• Tribal Lashkar lead by Mir Aali Bugti

Baloch Muslha Defai Tanzeem:

The Baloch Muslha Defai Tanzeem (Baloch Armed Defense Organization) , an underground anti-Baloch nationalists group is active since last few months with a manifesto :

• Fighting against Nationalist force who will demand for the liberation of Balochistan.
• Targeting the people who will participate in any protest/gathering held by BNF, BNP and BSO.
• Targeting any journalist who will post the news of BNF, BLA, BLF and BRA.

This organization had so far claimed responsibility for the follow main activities so far:

Murder of Ghulam Rasool Shaheed, Senior Leader of BNM. Who was
Grenade attack on the musical night held by BSO at Khuzadr Engineering University, the attackers were followed but they took refuge in Pakistani Army Cantonment.
Several attacks on BSO Azad members killing nearly 6 so far and injured more than a dozen.
Seriously injuring Rashid Baloch Vice President of BSO (Muhayuddin).
Murder of Saddam Baloch at Khuzadar.

Who is Behind Baloch Muslha Defai Tanzeem:

Shafique Mengal son of PML (Q) Senetor Naseer Mengal is said to be Behind this shadowy organization funded and supported by Pakistani army and Intelligence agencies. Shafique Mengal is said to have gathered support from drug mafia from different parts of Balochistan for the said purpose. The Drug Mafia is working supporting financially and materially due to the strong stance of Baloch Liberation Front and Baloch Liberation army about drug trafficking and Drug trafficker .

Baloch Ghairatmand Tanzeem

This organization claims to struggle for the implementation of thaliban style Sharia in Balochistan, and for the said purpose this shadowy organization distributed pamphlets in Dalbandin, Kalat and Mastung etc threatening to throw acid over the Baloch Women who will leave their house for work or shopping or protests etc. This group attacked minor Baloch Girls in Dalbandin and Kalat resulting in the serious injuries for 2 sisters in dalbandin and three in Kalat.

The Main Purpose for which the ISI/MI created this organization is to threaten and execute the Leaders and members of Baloch Women Panel and BSO Women wing.

The suspects behind this organization are not know to Balochistan Watch Team yet therefore we can’t figure out the people behind it.

Tribal Bijrani Levis Force

Pakistani intelligence agencies with the help its agents like Razik Bugti and Asad-ur-Rehman suceded in making rifts among Marri tribes. Hence the former Commander of BPLF Mir Hazar Khan changed sides from Baloch nation to the paid employee of Pakistan Army an

d provided 1000 armed men to Pakistan army to be used against Baloch Freedom fighters and protecting the non-Baloch contractors exploring the Chamalang coal mines. The main activities and achievements of this force include:

• Spying on the location and activities of Baloch Sarmachars (freedom Fighter).
• Helping in operations against Baloch Sarmachars (freedom Fighter).
• Locating the location of Nawab Bugti, this resulted in his martyrdom.
• Playing the role of a guide for the Pakistani forces who are unaware of the tracks and terrain of Kohistan-e-Marri.

Bugti Armed Force Lead by Mir Aali Bugti

In 2006 Pakistan sponsored tribal Jirga comprising of Bugti tribal elders

belonging to anti Nawab Bugti clans gave a decision of abolishing Sardari System. Within a week Nawab Bugti was martyred and till 2009 the Bugti tribe was without any former Nawab and the sons and grandsons of Nawab Bugti were busy in a tug of war for succession. During this period Nawabzada Aali Bugti compromised with the Pakistani agencies and hence the same Jirga which abolished Sardari System appointed Aali as Nawab of the Bugti Tribe. Like every other treaty Nawab Asli also had to pay a price so he made a tribal armed force to combat the Baloch freedom fighters. As a result Pakistani army provide training, funds and logistic support to Nawabzada Aali lead tribal force to spy, kidnap, assassinate and torture anyone they suspect has ties with freedom fighters.

Little Background of Al-Badar and Al-Shams

2010-07-14T03:33:00.000-07:00

The Al-Badr

The Al-Badr was the paramilitary wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) that earned infamy for its collaboration with the Pakistan Army against the Bengali nationalist movement in the Bangladesh Liberation War. The group is blamed for organising the mass killings of Bengali civilians, religious and ethnic minorities. The group is identified as one of the leading perpetrators of the 1971 killing of Bengali intellectuals. The present chief of the Jamaat, Maulana Motiur Rahman Nizami headed the Al-Badr organisation as the all-Pakistan Commander in Chief during the war. The group was banned by the independent government of Bangladesh, but most of its members had fled the country during and after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, which led to Bangladesh's independence.

On 25 March 1971, after beginning the Bangladesh Liberation War, Pakistani military forces required military support from Bengali supporters who still wanted to live with Pakistan, or did not like Indian interaction in the movement; as well as the non-Bengali muhajirs in order to abolish the independence fighters of Bangladesh, the Mukti Bahini, Hemayet Bahini and Kaderiya Bahini. The Al Badar were formed to detect these independence fighters and to have guides as well as co-fighters who were familiar with the local terrain.

The force was composed of madrasa students-teachers, Bengali supporters of Muslim League and Jamaat E Islami, and muhajirs coming from non-Bengali part of India.

There were three type of Paramilitary forces Pakistan formed,

1. Razakars: refuges who came from other parts of India during separation of India and Pakistan, and setteled in East PAkistan.
2. Al-Badar: Bengali Muslim Students from Colleges, universities and madrasah, who were loyal to Jamat-e-islami.
3. Al-Shams: Bengali Madrasah Students, teachers & supporters of islamic parties other than Jamat-E-Islami (these smaller parties included Nejam-e-Islami and various factions of Muslim League).

Al-Badar was very organized para military force among those three forces, they had their own hirarchy of organization & reporting system.

The Al-Shams

The Al-Shams was a paramilitary wing of several Islamist parties in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan), that with the Pakistan Army and the Al-Badr, is held responsible for conducting a mass killing campaign against Bengali nationalists, civilians, religious and ethnic minorities in the Bangladesh Liberation War. The group was banned by the independent government of Bangladesh, but most of its members had fled the country during and after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, which led to Bangladesh's independence.

Very little is known about the structure and composition of the group. Newspaper coverage from that period indicates that it was an organ of the razakar para-military force. Jamaat-e-Islami was the largest Islamic party in Pakistan at that time. It seems that other Islamic factions, including Nezam-e-Islami and Muslim League, established the Al-Shams (meaning "the Sun"), as a response to Jamaat-e-Islami's strong influence on the military junta. Jamaat's paramilitary, Al-Badr, was a close ally of the occupation army, and Al-Shams wanted to compete for that status.

Tasks

The Al Badar were assigned a variety of combat and non-combat tasks including:

· Taking part in the operations
· Spying against Muktibahini
· Interrogation
· Working as the guides of the regular army
· Assassination
· Detecting and killing Mukti Bahni Soildiers
· Providing supply line to front army

Stop Genocide in Balochistan

2010-06-18T11:11:00.000-07:00

Sardar and Baloch Nation

2010-06-12T11:54:00.000-07:00

Baloch have always lived in a tribal and nomadic society where the appointed someone as Head/Leader of the tribe who was competent and wise enough to lead the tribe during a conflict and hardship. With the passage of time the tribes grew larger so did the powers of the Leader of the tribe. In Baloch traditions the Sardar (Leader) was always selected on democratic principles and he was selected on the mutual consensus of all people of the tribe. The role and responsibilities of a Sardar were very various which included: Protection of the rights of the tribe, Protection of the rights of every individual of the tribe, keeping the diplomatic relationships with other tribes, Conflict resolution within the tribe and with other tribes and taking care of needs of the tribe specially the widowed women and orphanage children.

With passage of time the Sardar got stronger and as a result the democratic selection of a Sardar was replaced by hereditary. Which was the first step turning a Sardar into a monarch/dictator, with absolute powers to rule the tribe. The institution of a Sardar remained loyal to his tribe and he was bound to protect the rights and interests of his tribe and made alliances with other tribes keeping in view interests of his tribe.

During the Period of Sardar Chakar Azam, all Baloch tribes rallied under his flag and from tribe took the form of a confederation and formed a State. Unfortunately this first Baloch state was destroyed due to the rivalry and personal skirmish of Sardar Chakar Rind and Sardar Gwahram Lashari, by fighting a 40 years long war. Later a confederation of tribes was formed by a Sardar from Qambarani Tribe by Abdullah Qahar and strengthened by His son Khan Nasir Khan, who was recognized as the leader of all tribes of Balochs and all Sardars adhered their loyalty to him, hence the First Baloch State with the name of Balochistan was formed. The Sardars of different tribes represented their tribes and were bound to provide man and material at the time of war to the Khan of Kalat.

With the advent of Britishers in Balochistan (British Balochistan) the Sardari System was corrupted to a maximum level in order to control the Baloch Nation, Sardars were provided with incentives, money and titles in order to buy their loyalties in favor of British slavery, except few most of the Sardars sold their loyalty and played for the interests of the Britishers. Today if we compare the Sardari System in the areas under British Balochistan and those under Khanate we find the Sardari system still very strong under the British Balochistan.

Due to these Sardars it became possible for the British Occupiers of Balochistan to strengthen their grip over Balochistan, and after the Britishers it was again the same Sardars who conspired against the independent Baloch State and helped Punjabis to occupy Balochistan, Sardars like Jam of Lesbela, Nawab of Kharan, and Nawab of Makuran will never be forgiven in Baloch history for their extremely dirty role in making secret deal with Pakistan for enslavement of Baloch Nation.

Baloch Nation will also not forgive the Khan of Kalar Ahmedyar Khan of cowardly accepting the forced accession of Balochistan. Ahmedyar Khan also served in British army as a paid soldier and was involved in the operation against Baloch Freedom Fighter Shaheed Mir Ali Dost Mengal, it is said that when Mir Ali dost was arrested badly wounded and brought for medical assistance Ahmedyar Khan visited him, where Mir Ali Dost Mengal spitted on the face of Ahmedyar Khan for his undignified and coward act of fighting for the occupiers as a paid soldier. After the start of military onslaught and genocide of Baloch Nation on 1973-77 Nawab Akber Khan Bugti resigned from the post of Governorship, but Khan Ahmedyar Khan accepted the position and exposed his real evil face of being an anti-Baloch. His grandson Khan Suleman Dawood and his brothers had kept the legacy of their Grandfather in weakening and harming Baloch nation by conspiring with the occupiers of Balochistan. Grand Baloch Jirga and Bangkok Conference are examples of their negative role in Baloch Politics.

During the same period one finds another opportunist and greedy tribal chieftain Sardar Dooda Khan Zehri who played the role of biggest enemy of Baloch Nation just to appease his master’s i.e. Punjabi occupation forces. His sons kept his legacy and are still playing a similar role till date by breaking Baloch Political Parties and dividing Baloch nation. Sardar Sana ullah Zehri the eldest son of Sardar Doda Khan, had recently break all records of shamelessness by joining PML (N) and collaborating with the Pro Punjabi domination political party.

Nawab Zada Changaiz Marri is an active member of Pro Punjabi Domination Party PML (N), one wonders of the situation when Changaiz Marri will lead the tribe.

It’s time for the Baloch Nation for taking the final decision against tribal system and get rid of Sardars, it’s the only way to get rid of their miseries and rise as sovereign Nation on the map of World.

Divide & Rule

2010-06-11T10:32:00.000-07:00

In politics and sociology, divide and rule (also known as divide and conquer) is a combination of political, military and economic strategy of gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into chunks that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. In reality, it often refers to a strategy where small power groups are prevented from linking up and becoming more powerful, since it is difficult to break up existing power structures.

Typical elements of Divide & Conquer/Divide & Rule technique are said to involve:

Creating or encouraging divisions among the subjects in order to forestall alliances that could challenge the sovereign.
Aiding and promoting those who are willing to cooperate with the sovereign.
Fostering distrust and enmity between local rulers.
Encouraging frivolous expenditures that leave little money for political and military ends.

The use of this strategy was imputed to administrators of vast empires, including the Roman and British, who were charged with playing one tribe against another to maintain control of their territories with a minimal number of imperial forces. The concept of "Divide and Rule" gained prominence when India was a part of the British Empire, but was also used to account for the strategy used by the Romans to take Britain, and for the Anglo-Normans to take Ireland. It is said that the British used the strategy to gain control of the large territory of India by keeping its people divided along lines of religion, language, or caste, taking control of petty princely states in India piecemeal.

Soon after the departure of the British Empire from Balochistan and Indian sub-continent the British empire sowed the seed of division and mutual distrust in order to keep their indirect rule over the region, first step was the creation of Pakistan by dividing Subcontinent into three parts, India. West Pakistan and East Pakistan, similarly divided Balochistan into three parts i.e. Kalat State, Iranian occupied Balochistan and Afghanistan Occupied Balochistan. After the division of Balochistan Britishers added salt to an injury by conspiring for the occupation of Independent Baloch State and hence making Balochistan a colony of Pakistan.

Pakistan inherited the policy divide & Rule from British Empire and since then Pakistan is continuously trying to divide Baloch tribes and political parties. Some of the examples:

Making rift and exploiting them among the four states (Kalat, Lesbela, Makuran & Kharan) of Balochistan to a point that three of them in order to harm the interests of Kalat state unanimously joined newly created state of Pakistan.
Making differences between NAP leadership and Nawab Bugti through their Agents like Gul Khan Naseer.
Making division among the Marri Tribes under the banner of Nawab Khair Bakash Marri and Mir Hazar Khan.
Promoting tribal conflict within Bugti Tribal groups like Kalpar, Massori & Raija Bugtis.
Promoting tribal conflicts between Bugti vs Domki, Bugti vs Mazari, Bugti vs Marri, Rind vs Raisani, etc.
Making fractions and divisions in BSO, BNM and BNP from time to time.

The techniques of divide and rule don’t ended here, since 2005 the Punjabis have very systematically tried to divide Baloch nation and playing wisely and cunningly. Some examples are:

After the martyrdom of Nawab Bugti the Punjabies and their agents accused Shaheed Balach Marri to be behind it and accused marri tribe for taking revenge from Nawab Bugti for his role in 1970’s.
Similarly the same group of people tried to accuse Bramdagh Bugti for Murdering Shaheed Balach Marri when he was martyred.
The same group made blogs like sardarwatch.wordpress.com in order to create further rifts and used the event of Bangkok Conference as an opportunity to divide Baloch diaspora.
During may 2010 Pakistani Prime minister visited Sardar Ataullah Mengal and as a result some immature people started accusing Sardar Ataullah Mengal, this situation created another tug of war between BNP and Anjuman-e-Ithad-e Marri.

It’s the time for Baloch Nation to realize the conspiracies of enemies and avoid playing in their hands for making differences and divisions in Bloch Nation and political Party.

If God forbids the enemy succeeded in making serious divisions and civil war like situation then it will be a severe damage to Baloch Cause the glorified success the Baloch Nation had attained in last 10 years of the armed resistance with the blood and sacrifices of the sons and daughters of Baloch Nation. Please Identify and Isolate those agents of Punjabies which are creating rifts among different Baloch fractions, tribal groups and political parties.

Appeal For Donations from International Community

Balochistan or Baloch-Pashtun Province

2010-06-01T08:54:00.000-07:00

Balochistan, along with the Khyber Pakthunkwa are the victims of an imaginary line, called Durand Line, which was described by Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president as the “line of Evil”. In deed that line signifies both the British and Pakistani imperialism that have subjugated the Baloch and the Pashtuns.

In 1893, the Afghan and British governments agreed to demark a 2,450-kilometer (1,519 miles) long border dividing British India and Afghanistan. The signatory of the document, known as The Durand Line Agreement, were Amir Abdur Rahman Khan, ruler of Afghanistan, and Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the foreign secretary of the British Indian government. After a series of battles and false treaties signed by the British, ‘The Durand Line Agreement’ of 1893 divides boundaries between three sovereign countries, namely Afghanistan, Balochistan and British India. According to that agreement Britain had taken a lease of the area in N.W.F.P and Balochistan, without the knowledge of Balochistan. Sir Durand gave verbal assurance to Afghanistan that the lease will last until 1993, but in the written agreement there is no mention of it. Otherwise just like Hong Kong, N.W.F.P would have gone back to Afghanistan in 1993.

The Durand Line Agreement should be a trilateral agreement and it legally required the participation and signatures of all three countries. However, the clever British drawn the agreement bilaterally between Afghanistan and British India only, and it intentionally excluded Balochistan. Thus, Balochistan has never accepted the validity of the Durand Line. The British, under false pretenses, assured the Afghan rulers that Balochistan was part of British India, and therefore, they were not required to have the consent of anyone from Balochistan to agree on demarking borders. Meanwhile, the British kept the Baloch rulers in the dark about the Durand Line Agreement to avoid any complications. According to International Law, all affected parties are required to agree to any changes in demarking their common borders. Hence, under the rules of demarking boundaries of the International Law, the Agreement of Durand Line was in error, and thus, it was null and void as soon as it was signed.

Also, International Law states that boundary changes must be made among all concerned parties; and a unilateral declaration by one party has no effect. However, the British government disregarding the objection of Afghanistan gave away the N.W.F.P to Pakistan after a fraud plebiscite. However, it never gave Baluchistan to Pakistan in the same way the British never gave away Jammu & Kashmir to India.

The Implications of Durand Line in Balochistan:

The Durand line not only divided the Baloch and Afghan Countries but also creating confusions and differences between the people living in the Pakistan occupied Balochistan. Due to this Imaginary boundary which was never accepted by Baloch nation is today creating rifts among the Baloch and Pashtuns/Afghans.

Baloch Nation is fighting a war of independence against Pakistani occupation, and Baloch should expect support of their Pashtun brothers who are for generation living side by side with the Baloch and millions of Afghans refugees were supported and accommodated in Balochistan after the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The same Afghan Refugees illegally through bribery and support of Pakistani Authorities got the nationality of Pakistan and are now siding against Baloch Nation.

In past few years one can observe the negative role Pashtuns of Balochistan against Baloch movement.

Pashtun don’t let any chance of defaming Baloch Cause go unturned, just for instance we never find the Pashtuns protesting the massacre of Baloch political activists or Baloch women and children, but if in reaction to the murder of Baloch a Punjabi settler is killed, the Pashtun start a planned campaign to condemn the killing of a Punjabi, similarly the afghans are using the name of BLA to threat the Punjabi settlers in Balochistan in order to buy their property at a cheaper price. In this way not only the afghan are buying property in Quetta but also defaming Baloch nation for being barbarian and violent against civilians.

Similarly we see the Pashtun leaders calling Balochistan as Baloch Pashtun province and showing their hatred towards Baloch nation by not even tolerating the name Balochistan, in the same way wherever the word Balochistan is used in a institute or something these racist Pashtuns try to ignore it or use any other word instead, just for example University of Balochistan is referred as Quetta University, whereas the official name of the institute is University of Balochistan.

Mehmood Khan Achakzai in his interview claimed the right of Pashtuns over Quetta, Sibi and Bolan, ignoring the historical background and demographic realities. This is deliberate attempt to blackmail Baloch leadership at a time when Baloch are at war with Pakistan’s mighty army and intelligence agencies. Sibi was the capital of Mir Chakar Rind and winter capital of Kalat State, with majority population of Baloch.

Pakistan occupied Balochistan is comprised of 30 district out of which only districts are Pashtun populated whereas 21 belong to Baloch, and still the Pashtuns claim to be in majority of the population of Balochistan.

Each year on 14th of August Balochistan observe the day as Black day, even the Punjabi settlers do not raise Pakistani flags in Balochistan, but the Pashtuns intentionally challenge Baloch and raise Pakistani flags on their homes. Moreover recent statements and the planned attack on Baloch Students in University of Balochistan and Agriculture Collage, shows the real intentions of Pashtuns.

Pashtuns of Balochistan are playing in the hands of Punjabis for protecting their interests and have their shares of the resources of Balochs.

It’s the time for Balochs to realize the evil faces of Pashtuns and that they are not the well-wishers of Balochs, but taking advantage of the situation and exploiting the rights of Baloch people.

Boundary Demarcation and Trifurcation of Baloch terrain

2010-05-23T00:26:00.000-07:00

Inayatullah Baloch writes in his book, The Problem of Greater Balochistan, that the British ignored all evidence of certain areas coming under the jurisdiction or influence of the Khan of Kalat and gifted them away to either Iran or Afghanistan, in a bid to placate the rulers in these two countries and befriend them in apprehension of an attack from the Russian side. This was the Great Game of those times and the Baloch had to pay dearly for the selfish motives of the colonial rulers. In fact, a secret diary prepared by the British representative at Kalat on April 20,1872, to the British Government of India suggested that Sardar Ibrahim Khan Sanjrani of Chakansur (Outer Seistan) acted as a vassal of the Khanate. Sir Robert Sandeman, in the letters to Lord Curzon dated November 22, 1891 and January 12, 1892, also described the western limits of the Khanate as Hassanabad Q (Irani-Seistan) and the Helmand river near Rudbar in Afghanistan. The final demarcation of Seistan took place in 1904 by the British Commissioner, Sir Henry McMahon, but the historical right of the Khanate and the principle of the right to self-determination were ignored. Sanjrani, chief of Chakansur, refused to acknowledge the Afghan rule under Amir Abdul Rahman. Nonetheless, the Kabul policy of British India encouraged Abdul Rahman to occupy the country. Nothing was known about the reaction of Mir Khudadad Khan, the then ruler of Balochistan.

The Baloch-Afghan or McMahon Line covers an area from New Chaman to the Perso-Baloch border. The boundary was demarcated by the Indo-Afghan Boundary Commission headed by Capt. (later Sir) A. Henry McMahon in 1896. The boundary runs through the Baloch country, dividing one family from another and one tribe from another, according to Inayatullah Baloch. As the Khan was not consulted by the British in the demarcation of the Perso-Baloch Frontier, the validity of the line was seen as doubtful by the Balochis. The partition of Balochistan took place without taking into consideration the 4 factors of geography, culture,history, and the will of the people. The final outcome of the boundary settlements imposed on the Baloch was:

· Seistan and Western Makran, Sarhad, etc. became part of Iran.

· Outer Seistan and Registan came under the control of Afghanistan.

· Jacobabad, Derajat and Sibi were included in British India.

· The Khanate of Balochistan was recognised as an independent state with the status of a protectorate.

During the process of demarcation of the frontier, several areas of the Khanate of Balochistan were surrendered by the British authorities to Iran and Afghanistan. The change in the British approach was visible in the way the Khan was treated during the negotiations. In 1871, the Khan was allowed to participate and the commission was called The Perso-Baloch Boundary Commission, but in 1896, it was called The Anglo-Persian Joint Boundary Commission. The Balochis had for all practical purposes lost their independence and autonomy.

By 1905, the demarcation of the boundary between British India and Iran on the one hand and between British India and Afghanistan on the other had quite effectively and unalterably divided the Balochis among three states British India, Afghanistan and Iran. The Khanate lost its previous glory. Even inside Balochistan, direct British rule was imposed on certain strategic areas like Derajati, Jacobabad and Sibi while the rest of the Balochi territory was under the control of the Khan of Kalat, whose Khanate was a mere protectorate of the British government. In order to further delimit Khans influence, the British encouraged the vassals of the Khanate in Makran and Las Bela to emerge as separate protectorates and thus there was a practical administrative trifurcation of the Khanate even within British India, i.e., the British Balochistan, the Khanate and Independent princely states of Makran, Kharan and Las Bela, and the tribal territories.

Nevertheless, Baloch tribes in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century showed their hatred of the unnatural and unjust partition through their revolts against British and Persian rule. Gul Khan, a nationalist writer, wrote: Due to the decisions of (boundary) Commissions more than half of the territory of Balochistan came under the possession of Iran and less than half of it was given to Afghanistan.

The factor for the division of a lordless Balochistan was to please and control the Iran and Afghanistan governments against Russia2 in favour of Britain.

In 1932, the Baloch Conference of Jacobabad voiced itself against the Iranian occupation of Western Balochistan. In 1933, Mir Abdul Aziz Kurd, a prominent national leader of Balochistan, showed his opposition to the partition and division of Balochistan by publishing the first map of Greater Balochistan. In 1934, Magsi, the head of the Baloch national movement, suggested an armed struggle for the liberation and unification of Balochistan. However, it was a difficult task because of its division into several parts, each part with a different constitutional and political status.

As a border area, the British were more interested in keeping the area calm and quiet. Through the principalities and the tribal sardars, the British had astutely created a system of collaborative administration of the area and its people, which proved effective. The Khanate of Kalat was completely subdued and with the emasculation of the predominant seat of power in Balochistan, the British had ensured perpetuation of their rule in the entire region. The British system had, in fact, developed a curious sense of centripetality about it too. The moment Pakistan emerged as the heir to the British in 1947, the Shahi Jirga, a remnant of the British system of patronage, consisting of collaborative sardars and feudal overlords, immediately veered around Pakistan and supported Balochistan's accession to Pakistan. The rulers of Kharan and Makran were also too timid to support the Khan.

Note:

Baloch people are also known as Balochi, Balochee, Baluchee, Beloochi but they all mean the same. In this paper one or more of these expressions have been used but they all refer to the same Baluchi/Balochi people.

End Notes

Tug of War Between AIM & BNP; A serious Blow to Baloch National Resistance

2010-05-15T01:27:00.000-07:00

The meeting between Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani and veteran Baloch nationalist leader Sardar Attaullah Mengal in Karachi earlier this week was aimed in creating rifts among the Balochs. the backlash of Sardar Mengal’s meeting culminated into a new phase of hatred and allegations between Anjuman-e-Itehad Marri (AIM) and Baloch National Party (BNP).

By initiating a series of statements against each other in the local newspapers, which are dominated by personal assaults on respected tribal elders, press secretaries of both parties have begun a more serious business which is more costly than even the loss caused by the 10 years of Punjabi army operation and the martyrdom of hundreds and thousands of Balochs. As that operation united the Balochs while this immature act of allegations and publishing statements against each other is dividing the Balochs.

This tug of war have given a Chance to the enemies of Baloch Nation to ridicule the Baloch Struggle and hit severe damage to the ideological Baloch Movement which initiated 6 decades Back against the illegal occupation of Pakistan over Baloch motherland.

One can never be able to deny the contribution of both Marri and Mengal tribes in Baloch movement of National Liberation during the 1970’s even today when marries have the control over the armed struggle and Mengals are facing the political front in the streets and mass mobilization front. Baloch Nation lost its two most valuable assets Shaheed Asadullah Mengal and Shaheed Balach Marri who were none other than the sons of the tribal chiefs of both tribes. Beside this these two tribes have sacrificed much more than once could imagine for Balochistan in terms of man and material even their women Zarina Marri and Shenaz Bibi are examples. The point is not that we are counting who has sacrificed more or less or who has contributed more and who did less, the point is that both tribes need to act wisely and do not destroy the unity among the ranks of Balochs.

One can easy judge the real hand behind the war of words between Marri and Mengal Tribes by reading carefully the statements. It seems that the immature and over smart spokesmen of BNP and AIM want to score points and destroy the Baloch National Resistance movement that took many years to reach at this stage, and Baloch Nation have never granted this right to either of them.

Therefore it is the call of the time and wisdom to stop this tug of war and act as civilized political groups/parties and have patience at least when Baloch nation is at war with its worst enemy because such irresponsible and immature attitude will demoralize the Baloch political activists but also disappoint those Baloch freedom fighters who have sacrificed all their lives and belongings and fighting a war with an enemy thousand time more powerful and well equipped. Such childish act of the “Big Ones” will end the Baloch nationalist struggle in a painful catastrophe. We humbly request both the sides to immediately stop this abusive campaign against each other. Balochistan is already burning and it cannot afford any kind of dispute among its political forces which give some hope to the people of this impoverished province. We equally appeal to both the sides to respect each others’ mode of struggle.

Tablighi Jumaat on the Way to Political Supremacy

2010-05-05T08:41:00.000-07:00

Tablighi Jumaat on the Way to Political Supremacy

Ahead of the Tablighi Jamaat’s annual congregation in Raiwind near Lahore — one of the largest congregations of Islamic world attended by at least one and half million Muslims — there has been a day-long meeting of at least 50 former officers of Pakistan’s armed forces in Raiwind to discuss the future agenda of the rapidly-expanding movement.

Though party sympathizers term the meeting as ‘routine’, insiders claim these retired officers had travelled from across the country to attend this special meeting of “Halqa-e-Khawas” (group of special people) and were well-taken care of and hosted by the Ameer of TJ, Maulana Abdul Wahab. It may be interesting to note that Maulana Abdul Wahab is no seminary student but an ordinary landlord.

The annual congregation of TJ, which is considered a non-resistant and non-political Islamic revivalist movement, is scheduled from Nov 5-8, 2009.

The meeting, convened under the driving force of this group in Pakistan armed forces, Lt Gen (r) Javed Nasir, former director general Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was attended by at least 50 former high-rank officers of the military including many generals, brigadiers and admirals and even top police officers etc. Apart from Lt Gen (r) Nasir, there were Lt Gen (r) Agha Masood Hasan, former naval chief Admiral (r) Karamat Rehman Niazi, Lt Gen (r) Aftab Ahmed and others.

The objective of this meeting was to discuss the possibility of politicizing its agenda. Many retired army officers were convinced that the TJ now should have a political manifesto. Maulana Abdul Wahab, the head of TJ, reportedly related the first phase of the party to Prophet Muhammad’s time in Mecca where he tolerated all violence and criticism by infidels and patiently focused on preaching Islam. Maulana Abdul Wahab, who believes that one day the rule of Allah must be set up in the world, however, asked these retired army men that being the main force of this party, they should start planning about the direction this gathering of millions gathering should take.

“There are thousands of serving army men who have joined this party and no force disallows the soldiers from practicing their religion,” said a former army officers who was privy to this particular meeting. “If you want to know the depth of this party, you have to jump into it.”

The Jamaat is extending its influence throughout the world, especially South Asia. In Pakistan it has impressed people from all walks of life including soldiers, rulers, political leaders, scientists, businessmen, sportsman, showbiz people, singers, doctors, engineers, students and many other important professions.

TJ has a loose structure and a non-charismatic leadership. The leadership is so non-charismatic that the party has no official name. The name “Tablighi Jamaat” has been publicly adopted following their motives and the way their groups have been preaching street to street.

Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhalawi [1885-1944], a student of Dar-ul-Aloom Deoband conceived this unmanned group, which later emerged as Tablighi Jamaat in Mewat (India) in mid-1920s. After completing his education at Deoband, Maulana Ilyas took up a teaching position at seminary Mazaharul Uloom in Saharanpur. He also prepared a team of young madrassa graduates from Deoband and Saharanpur and sent them to Mewat to establish a network of mosques and Islamic schools throughout the region.

According to historical accounts, the first Tablighi conference held in November 1941 in Mewat was attended by 25,000 people. Many of them had walked on foot for ten to fifteen miles to attend the congregation.

In Pakistan, the family of political leaders like Nawaz Sharif are also great sponsors of Tablighi Jamaat. Mian Sharif, his father, is believed to be a prominent member and financier. He also managed to make his Tablighi friend Muhammad Rafiq Tarar president of Pakistan when Nawaz Sharif was the prime minister. In 1995, the military officers who hatched a conspiracy against the then Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto were associated with Tablighi Jamaat. A coup was thwarted against many high-ranking military officers and civilians, all of whom were members of the Tablighi Jamaat.

An investigative report published in The News on Feb 13, 1995 discussed the connection between the Tablighi Jamaat and Harakat ul-Mujahideen, founded in 1980 and “their clandestine role in supporting Islamic extremist movements in different countries.”

Westerns press reports term this Jamaat as having a great potential for jihad. After more than 80 years of this ‘quiet revolution’, voices have started rising that this Jamaat should do more to purge the world of infidelity, predicting another storm.

The Mysterious Activities of Tablighi Jamaat in Balochistan.

After reading the Background and Intentions of the TJ, if one analyzes their activities in Baloch, the agenda reveals many conspiracies in form of Preaching of Islam during a period when Baloch Nation is at war. We find a sudden increase in the TJ activities in Balochistan, specifically in areas where the resistance movement is stronger and the Baloch Resistance Fighters got more sympathizers. Every year only one Tabligi Ijtimah is organized in Each Province of Pakistan that is one in Sindh, One in Punjab and one in Kyber Pakthunkwa, but in Baloch the number exceeds dozens. It’s strange that the Pashtoon Parts of Balochistan is completely neglected when venue for the Ijthimah is selected. Some parts of Balochistan where the notorious act of killing women, burying them alive and worshiping the graves is common like Naseerabad, Jaffarabad etc we never see these Tabligi Jummat people arranging Ijthimahs or other events. All events are organized in the areas where Baloch resistance is higher and where raising the flag of Pakistan is not possible due to the sentiments of the Baloch People.

May be the TJ administrators consider the Balochs as Infidals and Non muslims specifically those who are fighting for the independence of Balochistan from Punjabi occupation.

In April 2009 when Shaheed Ghulam Muhammad Baloch and his companions were martyred by the Pakistani army in Kech Makuran after kidnapping them from their lawyers office in front of dozens of witnesses. Violent protests started throughout Balochistan, and suddenly Mr Tariq Jameel started a long Tabligi Campaign in the most disturbed areas of Balochistan, where he declared the Punjabi murderers as oppressed and the murdered Balochs as the oppressors, and he preached the love for the slavery Punjab rather than love for Islamic teachings and Values.

Religion depends on one’s personal believes and faith and should not be associated with politics. Indulging religion with politics creates catastrophic effects, we have examples like the Indo-Pakistan Partitiion which resulted in the massacre of hundreds and thousands of innocent human beings (both hindus and muslims), similar results we saw in World War 2 when Hitler ordered the genocide of Jews. The history is full of such incidents when religion was used as a tool to oppress others and Tabligi Jummat is no Exception that Punjab is using this as a tool to suppress Baloch Nation.

Balochistan Watch Condemnation

2010-04-29T21:27:00.000-07:00

Balochistan Watch Strongly condemns the inhuman incident of throwing acid on Baloch Girls and we call it a conspiracy of spreading extremism and a bid to prove Baloch Nation as barbaric and uncivilized. In Baloch Society violence against women was always considered as a coward act and deed of an impotent person.

Balochistan Watch Request Baloch Nation to identify and punish such culprits and fight against extremism and religious fanaticism. Such incidents are a conspiracy against Baloch Nation by its enemies to defame and destroy the Baloch movement for self-determination.

Thalibanization of Baloch Society

2010-04-24T12:54:00.000-07:00

On 15^th April 2010, the faces of two sisters were burnt with acid attack by unknown attackers near a village in Dalbandin, Chagai District, the attackers later on claimed responsibility with using the name of a unknown group called “Baloch Ghairth Mand Tanzeem”, this organization threatened the women and female members of society to remain in their homes and if found alone out their houses they will face Acid attacks.

This incident was widely condemned by the Baloch leadership in Balochistan and abroad and political parties. Balochistan National Party and National Party held protest rallies; Baloch National Front and Baloch National Movement also not only issued strict statements against the attackers but also took out protest rallies and termed them anti Baloch and anti human elements.

The Baloch political parties and leadership believe that the attack was firstly to defame Baloch Independence struggle and secondly it was to create a fear among Baloch women activists who are actively taking part and interest in Baloch National struggle for Liberation. According them the attack clearly show that the enemy of the Baloch is very fearful of the mere fact that a large number of Baloch women are engaged in spreading awareness in Baloch society about the importance of freedom and equal rights.

Let us investigate the background of the incident; the incident took place in Chagai district of Balochistan, the largest and most backward district of Balochistan bordering Iran and Afghanistan. This district also hosts thousands of Afghan Refugees which include Taliban Sympathizers and most probably Taliban fighter as well, supported by Pakistani Intelligence agencies and Military.

Baloch Nation is known for its characteristics of being secular and progressive. In Baloch society women and non Muslim always enjoyed equal rights and were given due respect. In Baloch tribal code a Women is given so much importance that if two parties are at war and a women passes by or request to stop the war, both parties are bound to stop the war immediately. Similarly the non Muslims were protected against the Punjabi revolters during the 1947 partition of Indo-Pakistan by the Baloch.

Pakistani establishment and Intelligence agencies are continuously working on the Islamization and Thalibanization of Baloch Society in order to achieve dual benefit out of it i.e.

i. Undermine the claim of Baloch Nationalists in Pakistan and internationally by strengthening their natural enemies i.e. Islamic Radicals/Taliban

ii. Establish sanctuaries for the production and recruitment of Jihadis and Extremists to be used for International Jihad Supervised and managed by Pakistan’s wicked intelligence agency the ISI.

The attempt show Baloch Society infected with Islamic extremism is mainly important for what such accusations are trying to achieve politically: they could serve to mobilize international support for Pakistan, particularly from the United States, and neutralize opposition to a Pakistani military intervention. The charges are part of a larger effort to discredit Baloch nationalism. They should be seen alongside Pakistani attempts to use the specter of Islamism to undermine the claims of Baloch nationalism in Pakistan and internationally.

Following the policies adopted by Zia-ul-Haq in the 1980s, Pakistan’s government continues through its Ministry of Religious Affairs to encourage the setting up of madras’s in the Balochistan in order to penetrate deeper into the Baloch areas stubbornly opposed to the mullahs. Setting up these religious schools has been at the expense of secular education, the lack of which is even more noticeable in Baluchistan than in Pakistan. The budget of the Ministry of Religious Affairs for the province is said to be approximately 1.2 billion rupees, compared with 200 million rupees allotted to the Ministry of Education. It inevitably follows that the role of the clergy has been increased, angering nationalists who have long been demanding that the Ministry of Religious Affairs be dismantled.

In past few years the activities of “Islamic Thabligi Jumaat (Islamic Preaching’s Group)” has increased in Pakistan which is the main catalyst for the spread of Islamic extremism in the region. One finds it surprising that the preaching activity of the “Tabligi Jumaat” are increased in the areas of Balochistan where the Pakistani military finds more resistance from the nationalist forces, hence using the tool of religion to undermine Baloch nationalism is frequently used. Just as we witnessed after the murder of Ghulam Muhammad Baloch and Companions, nationwide revolts against the occupation forces started, the “Thabligi Jummat” also started their large scale preaching processions in the areas where the tension was more severe like Pangour, Turbat, Khuzdar & Noshki, but no such processions were held in calm areas like Naseerabad, Jaffarabad, or Kharan.

It’s the time for the Baloch Nation and the nationalist forces to drive a strategy to counter the efforts of the enemy to radicalize the Baloch Society as well as combat the forces spreading radicalism and those behind crimes against women & marginalized groups of Society.

International Court of Justice

2010-04-24T07:27:00.000-07:00

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN). It was established in June 1945 by the Charter of the United Nations and began work in April 1946. The seat of the Court is at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands). Of the six principal organs of the United Nations, it is the only one not located in New York (United States of America).

The Court’s role is to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies.
The Court is composed of 15 judges, who are elected for terms of office of nine years by the United Nations General Assembly and the Security Council. It is assisted by a Registry, its administrative organ. Its official languages are English and French.

Jurisdiction

The International Court of Justice acts as a world court. The Court has a dual jurisdiction : it decides, in accordance with international law, disputes of a legal nature that are submitted to it by States (jurisdiction in contentious cases); and it gives advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the organs of the United Nations or specialized agencies authorized to make such a request (advisory jurisdiction). http://www.icj-cij.org/jurisdiction/index.php?p1=5

Contentious Jurisdiction

In the exercise of its jurisdiction in contentious cases, the International Court of Justice has to decide, in accordance with international law, disputes of a legal nature that are submitted to it by States. An international legal dispute can be defined as a disagreement on a question of law or fact, a conflict, a clash of legal views or of interests. Only States may apply to and appear before the International Court of Justice. International organizations, other collectivities and private persons are not entitled to institute proceedings before the Court.

Article 35 of the Statute defines the conditions of access for States to the Court. While paragraph 1 of that Article opens it to the State parties to the Statute, paragraph 2 is intended to regulate access to the Court by States which are not parties to the Statute. The conditions of access of such States are, subject to the special provisions contained in treaties in force at the date of the entry into force of the Statute, to be determined by the Security Council, with the proviso that in no case shall such conditions place the parties in a position of inequality before the Court.

The Court can only deal with a dispute when the States concerned have recognized its jurisdiction. No State can therefore be a party to proceedings before the Court unless it has in some manner or other consented thereto. http://www.icj-cij.org/jurisdiction/index.php?p1=5&p2=1

Advisory Jurisdiction

Since States alone have capacity to appear before the Court, public (governmental) international organizations cannot as such be parties to any case before it. A special procedure, the advisory procedure, is, however, available to such organizations and to them alone. Though based on contentious proceedings, the procedure in advisory proceedings has distinctive features resulting from the special nature and purpose of the advisory function.

Advisory proceedings begin with the filing of a written request for an advisory opinion addressed to the Registrar by the United-Nations Secretary-General or the director or secretary-general of the entity requesting the opinion. In urgent cases the Court may do whatever is necessary to speed up the proceedings. In order that it may be fully informed on the question submitted to it, the Court is empowered to hold written and oral proceedings.

A few days after the filing of the request, the Court draws up a list of those States and international organizations likely to be able to furnish information on the question before the Court. In general, the States listed are the member States of the organization requesting the opinion, while sometimes the other states to which the Court is open in contentious proceedings are also included. As a rule, organizations and States authorized to participate in the proceedings may submit written statements, followed, if the Court considers it necessary, by written comments on these statements. These written statements are generally made available to the public at the beginning of the oral proceedings, if the Court considers that such proceedings should take place.

Contrary to judgments, and except in rare cases where it is stipulated beforehand that they shall have binding effect (for example, as in the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, in the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the specialized agencies of the United Nations, and the Headquarters Agreement between the United Nations and the United States of America), the Court's advisory opinions have no binding effect. The requesting organ, agency or organization remains free to decide, by any means open to it, what effect to give to these opinions.

Although without binding effect, the advisory opinions of the Court nevertheless carry great legal weight and moral authority. They are often an instrument of preventive diplomacy and have peace-keeping virtues. Advisory opinions also, in their way, contribute to the elucidation and development of international law and thereby to the strengthening of peaceful relations between States. http://www.icj-cij.org/jurisdiction/index.php?p1=5&p2=2
How the Court works.

Only States (States Members of the United Nations and other States which have become parties to the Statute of the Court or which have accepted its jurisdiction under certain conditions) may be parties to contentious cases.

The Court is competent to entertain a dispute only if the States concerned have accepted its jurisdiction in one or more of the following ways:

by entering into a special agreement to submit the dispute to the Court;

by virtue of a jurisdictional clause, i.e., typically, when they are parties to a treaty containing a provision whereby, in the event of a dispute of a given type or disagreement over the interpretation or application of the treaty, one of them may refer the dispute to the Court;

through the reciprocal effect of declarations made by them under the Statute whereby each has accepted the jurisdiction of the Court as compulsory in the event of a dispute with another State having made a similar declaration. A number of these declarations, which must be deposited with the United Nations Secretary-General, contain reservations excluding certain categories of dispute.

States have no permanent representatives accredited to the Court. They normally communicate with the Registrar through the medium of their Minister for Foreign Affairs or their ambassador accredited to the Netherlands. Where they are parties to a case before the Court they are represented by an agent. An agent plays the same role, and has the same rights and obligations, as a solicitor or avoué with respect to a national court. But we are dealing here with international relations, and the agent is also as it were the head of a special diplomatic mission with powers to commit a sovereign State. He/she receives communications from the Registrar concerning the case and forwards to the Registrar all correspondence and pleadings duly signed or certified. In public hearings the agent opens the argument on behalf of the government he/she represents and lodges the submissions. In general, whenever a formal act is to be done by the government represented, it is done by the agent. Agents are sometimes assisted by co-agents, deputy agents or assistant agents and always have counsel or advocates, whose work they co-ordinate, to assist them in the preparation of the pleadings and the delivery of oral argument. Since there is no special International Court of Justice Bar, there are no conditions that have to be fulfilled for counsel or advocates to enjoy the right of arguing before it except only that they must have been appointed by a government to do so.

Proceedings may be instituted in one of two ways:

through the notification of a special agreement: this document, which is of a bilateral nature, can be lodged with the Court by either of the States parties to the proceedings or by both of them. A special agreement must indicate the subject of the dispute and the parties thereto. Since there is neither an “applicant” State nor a “respondent” State, in the Court’s publications their names are separated by an oblique stroke at the end of the official title of the case, e.g., Benin/Niger;

by means of an application: the application, which is of a unilateral nature, is submitted by an applicant State against a respondent State. It is intended for communication to the latter State and the Rules of Court contain stricter requirements with respect to its content. In addition to the name of the party against which the claim is brought and the subject of the dispute, the applicant State must, as far as possible, indicate briefly on what basis - a treaty or a declaration of acceptance of compulsory jurisdiction - it claims the Court has jurisdiction, and must succinctly state the facts and grounds on which it bases its claim. At the end of the official title of the case the names of the two parties are separated by the abbreviation “v.” (for the Latin versus), e.g., Nicaragua v. Colombia.

The date of the institution of proceedings, which is that of the receipt by the Registrar of the special agreement or application, marks the opening of proceedings before the Court. Contentious proceedings include a written phase, in which the parties file and exchange pleadings containing a detailed statement of the points of fact and of law on which each party relies, and an oral phase consisting of public hearings at which agents and counsel address the Court. As the Court has two official languages (English and French), everything written or said in one language is translated into the other. The written pleadings are not made available to the press and public until the opening of the oral proceedings, and then only if the parties have no objection.

After the oral proceedings the Court deliberates in camera and then delivers its judgment at a public sitting. The judgment is final, binding on the parties to a case and without appeal (at most it may be subject to interpretation or revision). Any judge wishing to do so may append an opinion to the judgment.

By signing the Charter, a State Member of the United Nations undertakes to comply with any decision of the Court in a case to which it is a party. Since, furthermore, a case can only be submitted to the Court and decided by it if the parties have in one way or another consented to its jurisdiction over the case, it is rare for a decision not to be implemented. A State which contends that the other side has failed to perform the obligations incumbent upon it under a judgment rendered by the Court may lay the matter before the Security Council, which is empowered to recommend or decide upon the measures to be taken to give effect to the judgment.

The procedure described above is the normal procedure. Certain matters can however affect the proceedings. The most common case is that of preliminary objections raised in order to prevent the Court from delivering judgment on the merits of the case (the respondent State may contend, for example, that the Court lacks jurisdiction or that the application is inadmissible). The matter is one for the Court itself to decide. Then, there are provisional measures, which can be requested as interim measures by the applicant State if the latter considers that the rights which form the subject of its application are in immediate danger. It may further occur that a State seeks to intervene in a dispute involving other States because it considers that it has an interest of a legal nature which may be affected by the decision to be taken in the dispute between those States. The Statute also makes provision for cases where the respondent State does not appear before the Court, either because it totally rejects the Court’s jurisdiction or for any other reason. Hence failure by one party to appear does not prevent proceedings in a case from taking their course. But in such a case the Court must first satisfy itself that it has jurisdiction. Finally, should the Court find that parties to separate proceedings are submitting the same arguments and submissions against a common opponent in relation to the same issue, it may order joiner of the proceedings.

The Court discharges its duties as a full court but, at the request of the parties, it may also establish ad hoc chambers to examine specific cases. A Chamber of Summary Procedure is elected every year by the Court in accordance with its Statute.

The sources of law that the Court must apply are: international treaties and conventions in force; international custom; the general principles of law; and judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists. Moreover, if the parties agree, the Court can decide a case ex aequo et bono, i.e., without limiting itself to existing rules of international law.

A case may be brought to a conclusion at any stage of the proceedings by a settlement between the parties or by discontinuance. In the latter case, an applicant State may at any time inform the Court that it is not going on with the proceedings, or the two parties may declare that they have agreed to withdraw the case. The Court then removes the case from its List.

Balochistan Watch Raises Just few questions, that:

After reading the Jurisdiction of International Court of Justice it is Clear it does not entertain Cases of any non state actors, and Khan of Kalat does not Possess the position of representing a State. How come Khan of Kalat Suleman Dawood has announced to File a Case in International Court of Justice and also collecting Donations on the Name of Balochistan Legal Fund?

Isn’t it suspicious?

Or is it a Deliberate attempt to misguide the Baloch people around the world?

Conspiracy

Beside the criminal attitude of Pakistanis and Iranians law enforcement agencies and their penetration. Baloch national struggle is being victimized by internal social and political discrepancies. If we try to analyze the different factors among several that affecting the Baloch national movement at this time domestically and internationally, we can say self-projection, self interest dominion and eccentricity, irrespective to the Baloch national interest and national struggling forces. These cause catastrophic impact on ongoing Baloch struggle result’s conflicts, distrust, diversity, confusion, frustration and provoking political and social attitudes. Such behaviors can be eliminated by linear organization, political discipline, management, arranging programmed political activities or events, trust and confidence building measures. These might help to condense the internal political and social conflicts. It may also helps as shield against the internal and external culprits. There should be constant check and balance to the argumentation and political activities in order to avoid the controversies.

Let us assume that Council of Independent Balochistan (CIB) or Bangkok Conference had not any wrong intentions but these are seemed to fail in trust building with the ground national movement and their front leadership that was the real cause of oppositions and lack of support on National Front and National ground. Under such circumstances, interference of the internal or external enemies of Baloch national struggle can not be ignored. They can easily take advantages of such oppositions to increase the gaps and produce further possible divisions. Baloch leadership and intellectuals should be alert from such conspirators and prevent such mischievous activities to held, rather than become victims of conspiracies. The main aims of all such conspirators to impose their own reasoning and justifications. It can be prevented by constant analysis and determinant steps, and while taking any major step the moral values and sensitivities of National movement must be under consideration domestically and internationally. Conflicts and conspiracies are natural and inevitable but Baloch intellectuals and leadership need to focus towards the achievement of the goal of independence and greater interest of Baloch nation rather than extensive internal conflicts.
