Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!
We openly work, support and interact with the local Government on a daily basis. The UN does not replace the government. It does not work against the Government. It works in tandem supporting the government. When we reconciled the tribes, we had the approval and support of the Wali of my state. We had included the Shiekhs and Umda’s of the tribes. We had the line ministries and their ministers on board and we had the native administration’s support. All government entities and political actors in the state and they supported us on the matters.
We do not get directly involved. We create a space for discussions, give technical support and advice and advocate for peace. But we are never ever a party to the negotiations. We sit in the background. We do everything behind the scenes to support the final outcome. But we never decide what it is or how it should occur.
If I was the PM or President I would do the following.
I would fly to Quetta and meet the Provincial Government. I would do all of this without any security escort.
I would request meetings with community elders to see what can be discussed.
I would visit villages out in the insurgency controlled areas without a military escort and sit down and discuss matters with them.
I would follow all of this up with sending in quick teams to build tube wells and provide buildings for schools. I would then focus on road and rail networks to ensure accessibility. I would then follow up all of this with more focus on extending the writ of the government and eroding support from the insurgency.
The problem with the people in Government is that they are from 40 years ago. They don’t know the new methods for conflict prevention and conflict resolution. I live and breathe this every day.
little more to it
Declare Quetta DE-facto summer capital and Gawadar winter Capital, where PM and President should reside in these cities and take personal interest development work along with other important things
on top, at international front expose the mis-doings of theses sardars to the concerned world
