Pakistani Government Questioned Over Human Rights In Balochistan
The conflict between the Pakistani military and the Baloch freedom fighters has grown severe. According to local media reports, the Pakistan army has intensified its alleged campaign of genocide, plunging the region into chaos. The allegations of the military action have left many questioning the Pakistani government's claims and commitments to human rights and stability in the region.
The representative of the Baloch separatists stated that the Pakistani military launched a large-scale ground and aerial assaults in Eaplinji, Nagahe, Harboee, and Mungachar of the Mastung district, located 50 km south and Nushki, 170 km southeast of the provincial capital of Quetta, bordering Afghanistan. The members of the Baloch freedom fighters retaliated, safeguarding the local population from any collateral damage during the conflict, which they branded a ‘war of Independence’.
Reports suggested that in retaliatory action, the Baloch freedom fighters attacked the outpost of the Pakistani army in the Manjushor area of district Naseerabad, killing two and injuring two others. As per the local media reports, the Pakistani army, backed by gunship helicopters and surveillance and attack drones, has reportedly fired artillery and mortar on the civilian population as well.
As per the reports, the Baloch people are also protesting across the Balochistan region after the Pakistani military allegedly killed five Baloch prisoners in the district of Surab, in an alleged fake encounter.
Balochistan Appeals To Global Leaders
In recent days, there have been several clashes between the Baloch rebels and the Pakistani military. On Friday, six Pakistani personnel were killed in an ambush by Balochistan's army in the Dera Bugti region. Additionally, two days ago, eight Pakistanis were apprehended by Baloch forces and shifted to undisclosed locations for further investigation.
The people of Balochistan have urged the global leaders to take urgent notice of the escalating humanitarian crisis and ongoing alleged Baloch genocide. They call for immediate and comprehensive support to strengthen Balochistan's defensive capabilities.
