Raising alarm: ‘Balochistan in a dangerous position’
President of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) Asma Jehangir said Balochistan’s situation has been deteriorating since the day security forces were given authority to make decisions for the province.
Addressing members of the Balochistan High Court Bar, Jahangir said Balochistan is in a relatively more dangerous position as compared to other provinces because international forces can strategically benefit from its geographical position. “Divisions have been created amongst people as sectarian killings, recoveries of mutilated bodies and target killing of Punjabi speaking people, frequently take place,” she said.
She was of the view that if Balochistan’s problems were not addressed on an immediate basis, the province will turn into an ideal piece of land for international forces to play their dirty game.

When you dont want to accept realties then you blame others, because your strategic asset are in afghanistan, you take pride in nuclear bomb, you love your army and ISI then you think everbody in world is against you, you never understood who is your asset who needs your love, who needs to be proud of, you never made your people strong, never thought your youth is strategic asset, never thought your asset lies inside the country your people are your pride, now you blame others for your mistakes.
biggest problem in balochistan is sectarian violence between sunni pashtuns and shia hazaras general kyanis balochs recruiment in army has improved relation between establishment and baloch tribes though they should be given more benifits of there gas
@Cynical: you may proof of "Non-Involvement" of these foreign forces as welll....
*British intelligence is allegedly providing covert support to Balochistan separatists (which from the outset have been repressed by Pakistan's military). In June 2006, Pakistan's Senate Committee on Defence accused British intelligence of "abetting the insurgency in the province bordering Iran" [Balochistan]..(Press Trust of India, 9 August 2006). Ten British MPs were involved in a closed door session of the Senate Committee on Defence regarding the alleged support of Britain's Secret Service to Baloch separatists (Ibid). Also of relevance are reports of CIA and Mossad support to Baloch rebels in Iran and Southern Afghanistan.
The stated purpose of US counter-terrorism is to provide covert support as well as as training to "Liberation Armies" ultimately with a view to destabilizing sovereign governments. In Kosovo, the training of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in the 1990s had been entrusted to a private mercenary company, Military Professional Resources Inc (MPRI), on contract to the Pentagon.*
Should we need to say more?

@Amjad
Any proof of Indian/Afghan involvement as yet? Please provide evidence.
All the problems in Baluchistan were brought about by the incompetence of the last dictator Musharraf who sat idly while India sent in agents through their lackeys in Afghanistan.
Is the Parachinar not a part of Pakistan? Parachinar has been harvested from whole country from last five years. Talibans have been kept blocked arrival and departure roads on the tribes of Parachinar from last continuously five years. Thousands of tribes are living like the prisoners. Supply of goods is stopped. People are compelled to purchase goods from Afghanistan. Most of tribes are using the Afghanistan’s lengthy and dangerous road for the arrival and departure from Peshawar and Islamabad. Blockade of roads and terrorists have affected every part of the life of the Kurram Agency. Developmental schemes have lost their original capacity. Educational system is also falling day by day. Post system is also mismanaged. Unemployment has been proceeding day by day. Condition of Business and Economics is also bad. Expansibility and over buying are on top.
So after pressure of US attacks failed subversion operators try to promote the Balouchistan issue once again. Foreign trained separatists should be brought to trial for high treason.
