Genocide in Balochistan

In Human history several regimes have passed who are convicted with crimes mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocides. Regimes Like that of Chagaiz Khan (Monghols), Nazi (Hitler), Communists (Stalin) or Serbs, Muslims in Albania, Bengal, Balochs etc and many more killed millions of innocent people on the name of race, religion and ideologies.

The regimes belong to different ideologies, religions, races and nationalities but one thing remained common among and that is the methodology of getting rid of the opponents. As per studies every genocide is more or less comprised of same stages. In 1996 Gregory Stanton, the president of Genocide Watch, presented a briefing paper called "The 8 Stages of Genocide" at the United States Department of State. In it he suggested that genocide develops in eight stages that are "predictable but not inexorable".

Eight Stages of Genocide
Stage	Characteristics	Preventive measures
1.       Classification	People are divided into "us and them".	"The main preventive measure at this early stage is to develop universalistic institutions that transcend... divisions."
2.       Symbolisation	"When combined with hatred, symbols may be forced upon unwilling members of pariah groups..."	"To combat symbolization, hate symbols can be legally forbidden as can hate speech".
3.       Dehumanisation	"One group denies the humanity of the other group. Members of it are equated with animals, vermin, insects, parasites, or diseases."	"Local and international leaders should condemn the use of hate speech and make it culturally unacceptable. Leaders who incite genocide should be banned from international travel and have their foreign finances frozen."
4.       Organization	"Genocide is always organized... Special army units or militias are often trained and armed..."	"The U.N. should impose arms embargoes on governments and citizens of countries involved in genocidal massacres, and create commissions to investigate violations"
5.       Polarisation	"Hate groups broadcast polarizing propaganda..."	"Prevention may mean security protection for moderate leaders or assistance to human rights groups...Coups d’état by extremists should be opposed by international sanctions."
6.       Preparation	"Victims are identified and separated out because of their ethnic or religious identity..."	"At this stage, a Genocide Emergency must be declared. ..."
7.       Extermination	"It is "extermination" to the killers because their victims do not want to leave."	"At this stage, only rapid and overwhelming armed intervention can stop genocide. Real safe areas or refugee escape corridors should be established with heavily armed international protection."
8.       Denial	"The perpetrators... deny that they committed any crimes..."	"The response to denial is punishment by an international tribunal or national courts"

Keeping in mind the above mentioned stages of genocide and compare them with what Pakistan is doing one see amazing similarity in the tactics and stages of each genocide that took place and same is happening in Balochistan. Now comparing the 8 stages of genocide with situation in Balochistan we find surprisingly identical situation

1. 1.       Pakistan has classified the people of Balochistan into Baloch and non Baloch
2. 2.       Baloch who are targeted are symbolized as separatist
3. 3.       Baloch are dehumanized and are termed as terrorists to justify there genocide and massacre, and in order to justify their claim Pakistan is using paid killers to kill Hazara, Punjabi settlers and civilians and blame it over Balochs
4. 4.       Pakistan is Organizing trained units for Baloch Genocide like FC, Lashar-e-Jangwi, Sipa-e-Shudah-e-Balochistan, Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Aman etc
5. 5.       Polarization propaganda is being broadcasted through ISPR funded newspapers, state media, Social media etc against Balochs, For instance check Ummatpublications Propaganda against Baloch http://ummat.com.pk/story/2012/04/22/4062/
6. 6.       Pakistani agencies have down there preparation and they regularly issue lists of their targets usually Baloch officers, Student leaders, Activists etc Again check the article by pro-taliban Ummat newspaper http://ummat.com.pk/story/2012/04/26/4369/ where they are targeting a Baloch Staff member working at US Consulate Karachi
7. 7.       Pakistan forces have started extermination of Baloch through abduction, kill n dump, army operations, aerial bombardment and chemical weapon usage
8. 8.       Denial the last stage, Pakistan denies any operation in Balochistan, and hence reject any evidence of genocide i.e. reports, videos, photos of victim and damage, list of missing person all.

Victims of Pakistan's Nuclear Islamic Bomb, Birth Defects and Deformations

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

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

Pakistan has a notorious track record of committing genocide, mass murder, collective punishment and ruthless operations against any community/nation asking for its rights which are snatched by the fascist state. History remembers Pakistan of committing a mass genocide of Bengalis where estimated 3 million people were massacred in a record 6 months period. Around 400,000 Bengali Women were raped by the Islamic Army of Pakistan.  In Balochistan 15000 Marri tribesmen were killed and others were sent in exile after the insurgency of 1973. In 1992-1998 operation some 15000 Urdu speaking Muhajirs were killed by the same Pakistani army with the help and approval of dominant Punjabi elite, in Karachi.

This fame of atrocities of Pakistan taught a new lesson to the military establishment of committing selective genocide instead of mass genocide. This time when Baloch raised voice of their right to self-determination and independence of Baloch occupied state, Pakistani establishment and intelligence agencies adopted the new strategy of forced disappearances, and kill and dump policy. Under this policy they torture these victims in secret torture cells and after acquiring information or finding the victim irrelevant they are killed and bodies are dumped on desolate mountains or empty city roads, bearing the scars of great cruelty. They all killed in similar fashion; their arms and legs are snapped; faces are bruised and swollen. Flesh is sliced with knives or punctured with drills; genitals are singed with electric prods. In some cases the bodies are unrecognizable, sprinkled with lime or chewed by wild animals. All have a gunshot wound in the head and upper torso.

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

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

The international human rights organizations like Amnesty international, Asian human rights commission, etc raised their concerns over such incidents, which triggered an alarm among the Pakistan intelligence agencies and as a result they started operating using fake names to deceive the world. Many armed organization such as Musalah Defah tanzeem, Sipa-e-Shudah-e-Balochistan and Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e Aman Balochistan have been formed using their agents like Shafique Mengal, Siraj Raisani, Kohi Khan Mengal, Imam Bheel, (who is also the sole financier of NP, a Pro-Pakistan Political Party), Atta ur Rehman Mengal etc. These organizations recruit the religious extremists, thugs, criminals and drug dealers as mercenaries, and in return 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 of establishing and controlling such underground groups, which were used in different parts of the world, some of such organization which took birth from the 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
7.	Jesh-e-Muhammad	Indian Kashmir	Moulana Azhar Masood
8.	Sipa-e-Sahaba	All over Pakistan (target is Shia Sect of Islam)	Maulana Tariq Azam
9.	Lashkar-e-Jangvi	All over Pakistan (target is Shia Sect of Islam)
10.	Sipa-e-Shudah-e Balochistan	Balochistan: targets pro-freedom Baloch students, Political workers and Journalists	Shafique Mengal S/O Senator Naseer Mengal
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. Who is abducting the Baloch people and dumping their mutilated tortured bodies remains a mystery to the military and Pakistani media. The stunning lack of interest in Balochistan's greatest murder mystery shows the resolve of the government and the military in solving Balochistan issue. The mighty military men disown involvement of intelligence agencies in committing such barbaric acts at least in front of the media while in gathering of personal nature they openly claim how they are inflicting miseries on the Baloch people. The Wild West mindset did not got them anywhere in Bangladesh and surely the same strategy will get them nowhere in Balochistan.

Siraaj Raisani with his private Militia 

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

No one dares to raise the question that how come the victims of enforced disappearances who were arrested by FC and Police in broad day light in front of dozen of witnesses or at least the family members of the victim 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-Aman Balochistan claimed that they are have thirty people from Chamalang their custody 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 from Dera Bugti, these fifteen people were also arrested by Pakistan Para-military forces during an offensive operation from different regions of Sui and Dera Bugti.  If these criminals gangs are not the civilian death squad of Pakistan Army than how come these people arrested by Para-Military (FC) are now in Mastung in Siraj Raisani’s Torture cells.

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

Samad Tagrani, the finance secretary of Baloch National Movement getting arrested by local Policemen and Intelligence agencies from Hub town, his dead tortured marked body was found at Windar town of Balochistan

Similarly this picture shows the Samad Tagrani, the finance secretary of Baloch National Movement getting arrested by local Policemen and Intelligence agencies from Hub town, his dead tortured marked body was found at Windar near an army garrison but the responsibility of his murder was taken Baloch Musalah Defah Tanzeem which according to Gen Javed Zia is a “Patriotic Group” Hitting the Balochs.

There are dozens of such incidents where local Police authorities picked up victims, or FC picked up a victim in a Raid and later their bodies were found with confession letters from the so-called Patriotic Groups.

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

Kharotabad: A Taliban safe haven

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.
