Well I have checked the Balochistan funktion and it's still developing and all these Baluchi people hope for the best. Nice water, diving, jet skeeing but maybe not best at the hand of Baluchi people but German people, I think as a Khan they should give some ground to Germany like 5 tot 10 km, just give for free inchance for high tech companies and medical companies who can research there. It would be nice for the German student and a nice ful operating facility.
my advice to these accused "join PMLN to close these cases"
Too much age difference. She looks like his daughter!
