Pakistani Army attrocities against Baloch community

On 17th December 2005 Pakistani Army launched an army operation against innocent Marri Baloch people throughout Kohlu District, Parts of Dera Bugti, Noshki, Makran Districts and other parts of Balochistan.

More then thirty thousand army personnel twelve Gunship helicopters, four fighter jets, several spy planes of different sizes, heavy artillery and missiles are being used only in Talli, Bambore, Kahan, Jabbar, Nasau, Quat, Mundai and other parts of Marri Area.

Due to ten days of intensive bombing and shelling by army Jets, Gunship Helicopters and heavy artillery at least 86 confirm deaths and more then 120 serious wounded have been reported. Mostly victims are women and young children.

It is time for the Baloch people to unite and stand up against such atrocities by Punjabi Pakistan. Let me remind the international community that it is not the first time that such severe measures have been taken against the Baloch Nation.

Until and unless the Baloch don’t unite and get the help of the international community to put a leash on Pakistani (Punjabi Army) this slaughter of Baloch people will continue.

Pictures of Marri women and children killed in bombing and shelling by Pakistani Army. This shameless Pakistani Army still denies that there is no Army Operation going on in Balochistan.

Take a look at the pictures below they speak for themselves, mutilated bodies of innocent young children who were deprived of all the facilities of modern world and now deprived of their own life, all this destitution to the Baloch is by the tyrant and shameless Punjabi Pakistani Army.

#1  It's propaganda of course but it is interesting how Balochi people are seeing this.
According to the WSJ, the educated Balochis are joining forces with the tribals. This insurgency may last...and bleed Pakistan for years.


From todays WSJ....

QUETTA, Pakistan – Suspected separatists have blown up a natural-gas pipeline in southwestern Pakistan, disrupting supply to a U.S.-Anglo power plant and providing the latest sign that a regional insurgency against President Pervez Musharraf's government is gathering intensity.

Samina Ahmed, director of the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, noted that conflicts in the region have continued to simmer long after cease-fires have been announced. "No army action has ever succeeded in Balochistan," she said.

...this time, the uprising appears to have united battle-hardened Balochistan tribesmen with educated Baloch people.

"People feel that they won't get their rights through democratic and legal means," said Abdul Haye, a former member of parliament and a leader of Balochistan National Party.

The fighting has stirred worries outside of Pakistan. The U.S. has conveyed its concern to the Pakistani government, according to a U.S. diplomat in Islamabad. Analysts fear the Pakistani army operation could deepen violence and may affect the campaign against Islamic militants. "The military has overstretched itself," said one Western diplomat in Islamabad.
