By: Dr. Jumma Marri Baloch Baloch are under intense cruelty today? Today Baloch people are under intensive cruelty and crimes which we should describe in few basic categories; intentional cruelty, neglect, indulging Baloch people in constant internal wars and military aggression and economical political deprivations. International cruelty abuse and neglect When a government knowingly deprives a large number of people with most basic human needs like food and other basic means of survival, like clean drinking water, shelter, socialization, health, education, constant mental and maliciously tortures, kill or mutilates in large numbers. Constant military action against unarmed civilians would fall under intentional cruelty. Cases of neglect are acts of omission and gives satisfaction to the governments of Pakistan and Iran who are intentionally neglecting Baloch people and Balochistan’s development is one of basic human right violations in mass scales. ...

By: Naseer Memon Multi-dimensional failures in the restive province merit deeper introspection rather than customary denials
After a decade of fierce battles resulting in hundreds of killings, the order, if not law, has been restored to a larger part of Balochistan. A pall of despair hangs over the province. Haunting deprivation, discrimination and disenchantment are starkly evident and cannot be callously refuted by merely alleging that it’s the handiwork of foreign hands. A cursory look at the indicators of human development and political affairs depicts a lamentable picture AND merits deeper introspection rather than denial. The problem in the province resurrect after a hiatus of few years because political remedies are always ignored. ... Read more » |

By: Dr. Jumma Marri Baloch It is a well-known fact that Pakistan always looked for blame games and excuses to carry on with her illegal occupation of Balochistan and genocidal military operation against the Baloch people. The aim is to defeat the Baloch fight for freedom and force them to surrender to the Punjabi elite who could then loot Baloch resources without any resistance. China, Pakistan’s close friend, joined the Punjabi looting class closely in 2001 in its efforts to kill and plunder Baloch resources unabashedly. It has now increased the stakes by announcing the so-called China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) that has raised Pakistan’s strategical importance many times in the region and beyond. ...

By: Yatish Yadav NEW DELHI: Pakistani army, frontier corps stationed in Balochistan and its wicked intelligence Agency, ISI have kidnapped and killed civilians, who questioned the repressive regime of the state. Pakistan army blames judicial activism for dragging cases of disappearances from the region to the light and thus giving army and ISI bad names,” reveals its top-secret publication for Operational commanders. Pakistan, which over the years has nurtured terrorist outfits, is on the backfoot because it believes United States and India have joined hands to execute another dismemberment of Pakistan with the help of Iran. A panic-stricken country has decided to shift the focus and in a hurriedly organized sham military court hearing, decided to handover death sentence to Indian national Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was kidnapped from Iran by ISI and its militant proxies. ...

The Pakistani government has intensified its crackdown on progressive university professors and intellectuals. DW looks at why the state considers these peaceful academics a threat to national interests.
Earlier this month, the Pakistani paramilitary forces arrested Dr. Riaz Ahmed, a Chemistry professor at the University of Karachi, near the southern city's press club. Ahmed and two others were campaigning for the release of Dr. Hasan Zafar Arif, a former professor and leftist intellectual, who was detained last year by the security forces for his association with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), a liberal political party whose leader Altaf Hussain has been living in self-imposed exile in London since the early 1990s. The Pakistani state considers Hussain a traitor; hence his party activists have been facing a fierce crackdown by police and paramilitary forces in the city which is still Hussain's political stronghold. Hussain, who in the past collaborated with the Islamic country's civilian and military leadership, has increasingly become critical of the state policies, particularly its alleged support of Islamist militants. ...

CHINA OR RUSSIA? U.S. MAY HAVE TO CHOOSE AN ALLY http://www.newsweek.com/china-russia-us-choose-ally-580280 Comments by: Dr.Jumma Marri Baloch I seriously advice US government and president Trump to use wisdom and restore friendly relations with Russia, Russia a Christian country and is part of western civilization though with her own rich history and traditions. China with her two billions people and fast growing economy is huge challenge to America and civilized world, there for US must normalize her relations with Russia and contain China and her close friend Pakistan both countries are nuclear armed and are serious security challenge to world order and in particular to American interests not only in Asia but entire world. Pakistan that harbors international terrorism armed with nuclear weapons constantly trying to get ICBM to hit USA and Europe a countries with an army 90% of them believes western world is Kafirs and must be destroyed and believe themselves as born Mujahids to fight and liberate Palestine Kashmir and capture the western world in revenge for their ill treatment of Muslim world. China is the only country that supports and arms her with same weapons systems that Chinese army have. Western countries must solve their issues with Russia that have 1/5 of earth the biggest country on earth and have huge mineral and water resources and boarders with EU can be a heaven for western world instead of unpredictable dictatorial china. Russia have 100% educated populations that does not strives to conquer any country and have good relations with India world most fast growing economy and worlds biggest democracy, if west chooses China against Russia it will be catastrophe that history will not forgive. China is existential threat to Russia most south Asian countries, India, Balochistan and many countries, if west choose china against Russia they will create headaches for themselves how to clean the mess China and Pakistan will create for them? Choosing China means western world alienates from them the entire Asian continent whole Africa and rest of the world, western world will have to learn living in new realities and must forget their values and learn eating insects’ dogs and donkeys. ...

https://www.dawn.com/news/1174552 Baloch are deprived of their mother tongue, baloch are forcefully assimilated into Pakistan, their language and culture is being killed along with baloch youth.
By: Naziha Syed Ali WHILE visiting Balochistan, one becomes aware of just how removed that province is from mainstream Pakistan. And it’s not only the obvious things — such as the dire lack of development, the air of oppression or the stories of enforced disappearances and dumped bodies. There’s also the more subtle issue of language. According to Article 28 in the chapter on fundamental rights, the Constitution says: “… any section of citizens having a distinct language, script or culture shall have the right to preserve and promote the same and subject to law, establish institutions for that purpose”. Most of the national conversation on this is centred on the fact that many private schools, at least in urban areas, do not teach the relevant provincial language in contravention of provincial laws to the effect. In Turbat some weeks ago, I learnt that the situation is quite the opposite in Balochistan. This is the only province where government schools do not teach either Balochi or Brahui, the two most widely spoken native languages outside the Pakhtun-majority areas in the north of the province. Balochi is only taught in a few private schools here. ... Read more » |
