Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

**QUETTA: Around 121 insurgent training camps were operating in Balochistan and 30 in Afghanistan, which are contributing to unrest in the province, Inspector-General (IG) Frontier Corps (FC) Major General Ubaidullah Khan told the media on Saturday.**Addressing a press conference in Quetta, Khan claimed that the camps are being operated by Harbiyar Marri, Brahamdag Bugti, Allah Nazar and Javed Mengal, and are running concerted campaigns to defame state institutions.
Brahamdagh Bugti is the leader of Balochistan Republican Party (BRP) and Harbiyar Marri of Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) – both are accused of fueling insurgency in the violence plagued province.
Khan added that if the government tries its hard, these camps can be eliminated.
The FC and other security agencies though too have been blamed for some of the violence in the province. The IG was summoned by the Supreme Court recently to explain the role of FC in the case of missing persons.

Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

The reasonable thing would be take up the matter with Americans and Afghans publicly.

Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

^ wouldn't be more reasonable to take it up with the Baloochs themselves first, if there arae 121 camps in Baloochistan? Why the reflex to immediately point at outsiders?

Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

I thought the training centres were in Punjab, Azad Kashmir and soon to be newly formed Hazara province. I forgot that is the wrong training centres. Those are for Lashkar i Jhangi who are busy killing Shias in Quetta and who are being ignored. How can anti-Shia groups operate in a city which has strict security? Why are nt the intelligence services pursuing these murdering criminals?

Has any one been arrested for murdering Shias in Balochistan?

IG FC Balochistan - Talking about foreign involvement and missing persons

IG FC Balochistan said…

  • We have arrested 169 terrorists, only 4 were sentenced (And Chief Justice cursing FC day and night)

  • 121 terrorist Ferrari camps in Afghanistan and 30 camps in Balochistan, despite being aware of those camps, NATO and Americans not taking any actions.

  • Special plot against FC and Army to freeze their activities.

Re: IG FC Balochistan - Talking about foreign involvement and missing persons

Bith External and internal factors are behind the situation in balochistan, when Musharraf started constructing gwadar and involved Chinese suddenly the situation of the province started deteriorating. Musharraf aggravated the situation by killing bugti and gave the baloch with a much needed martyr. When the present dispensation came to power, the baloch called a siezefire. But the government instead of reciprocating kept their operations going, and then in mid 2010 when as a response to the terrorists the state started abducting and killing people the situation aggravated further. If the government has proof of external involvement instead of parroting that to the public have they got the guys to say that to the afghans and Americans?

Re: IG FC Balochistan - Talking about foreign involvement and missing persons

Statement of IG was already being discussed in another thread . Establishment is responsible for this all foolishness .

Re: IG FC Balochistan - Talking about foreign involvement and missing persons

establishment is also responsible for bringing the people sitting in the government.

Re: IG FC Balochistan - Talking about foreign involvement and missing persons

Often they do it but some time it is out of their control like 1971 and 2007. So than they start their foolish conspiracies .

Wrong diagnosis | DAWN.COM

Wrong diagnosisIT’S the oldest excuse in the book, trotted out to cover up the mistakes and blunders of the Pakistani state. Maj-Gen Obaidullah Khattak, inspector general of the Frontier Corps in Balochistan, claimed on Saturday that some 20 foreign intelligence agencies were active in Balochistan, helping the insurgents in that restive province in order to keep the state off balance and to lower the public’s trust in their security forces.

For those familiar with the history of Balochistan, Maj-Gen Khattak’s allegations echo the claims in the 1970s that the insurgency in the province then was also the doing of outside powers and foreign agencies. To be sure, Balochistan is a tempting arena for regional and extra-regional powers. It borders Iran and Afghanistan, is a vast, sparsely populated land, is endowed with untold wealth in the form of natural resources and is racked by internal security issues. However, there is also another reality, one perhaps far more pertinent: the state’s mishandling of Balochistan for decades, its policy of wielding the stick where engagement was needed, its fury unleashed where a soft touch was required, all of that and more is why Balochistan stands where it does today.

The problem in Balochistan is that both the diagnosis and the policy are wrong. Baloch militancy is extant not because foreign intelligence agencies supply explosives and triggers or train snipers but because there is a ready supply of alienated and angry young Baloch men who are willing to take the fight to the Pakistani state. As long as the wellspring of anger and alienation in Balochistan remains, there will be Baloch willing to risk their lives to inflict damage on what they see as symbols of an oppressive state. Policies such as ‘kill and dump’ and ‘killing the killers’ are akin to standing at the end of a pipeline and shooting anything that comes tumbling out. Until the source is tracked and the supply shut down, such policies will never yield more than temporary lulls in insurgent violence.

Ultimately, however, the security forces and their leaderships are trained to see everything through a security prism. What Maj-Gen Khattak or his superiors in GHQ say and believe about Balochistan are the result of a certain kind of mindset. Militaries are not designed to develop and execute winning strategies in a province such as Balochistan. That is the job of the civilians. Perhaps Prime Minister Gilani’s two-day visit could herald the beginning of a new boldness and decisiveness by the civilian leadership. If not, expect Balochistan to keep bleeding.

Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

Only way to solve it by dividing into smaller province and it will become easy to manage it.

Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

Try to say this in front of Balochs .

Re: Balochistan crisis & its resolution!

Baloch don't object to the Pashtun areas been separated from balochistan but no one in their right mind would even think about that in the present circumstances.
