Understanding the Flare-up in Baloch Militancy in Pakistan

News 18  

August 25 and 26 this year marked a grim reminder for Pakistan as Balochistan, the nation’s largest province, was engulfed by a series of militant assaults. The Balochistan Liberation Army, established in the year 2000, along with other militant groups, has persistently challenged the Pakistani state, advocating secession due to the blatant exploitation of the Baloch populace. Additionally, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor — involving over $60 billion in infrastructure projects including the pivotal deep-sea port at Gwadar — has exacerbated local grievances about the state’s exploitation of Baloch resources. Rather than politically addressing the concerns of the Baloch population, the Pakistani state has opted for suppression of dissenting voices, establishing puppet provincial governments, and enforcing severe military measures. The ‘March against Baloch Genocide’ between December 2023 and January 2024, along with the Baloch Raaji Muchi in July-August 2024, presented critical opportunities for the state to initiate reconciliation and make progress in resolving the longstanding conflict.
