The Balochistan conflict is a conflict between someBaloch warlords and the governments of Pakistan and Iran in their struggle for preservation of Greater Balochistan the mother land of the Baloch. The controversial history of the south-western region of Pakistan dates back to the time when the Durand Line was drawn by the British in 1893 after fighting several wars with Baloch. The insurgent Baloch warlords claim the border was drawn to divide the Baloch tribes into the international borders of Iran, Afghanistan and what later became West Pakistan (present day Pakistan). The Balochs allegedly found their national identity disrupted by the division created by the international borders, and were not happy with the outcome. It should also be noted that the world's first civilized civilization was set up near Bolan Valley near in 8000B.C by the Baloch, Balochi people are mostly tribal, lives in a proper united way, they are not a scattered nation but a nation who lives under one identity Baloch, they are brave, respect their elders, women & children, they die for their words but never stepped back, they have a great way of rule of law and democracy called Rawaj .[citation needed]

There is a need to note that Balochistan was never a part of sub-continent India, it was always a free & sovreign state. Before when India and Pakistan eventually gained independence from the British on 15 & 14 August 1947 respectively, The Kalat State was announced a sovreign & free State on 11 August 1947, Khan of Kalat, Mir Ahmed Yar Khan declared Kalat's independence.
Area of dispute

Distribution of Balochs is marked in pink.Historical Balochistan comprises the Balochistan region. In the west, is the southern part of Sistan o Baluchestan province, Iran. In the east is Pakistani Balochistan. In the north is the Helmand province of Afghanistan. The Gulf of Oman forms its southern border.

Balochistan is one of the fourth provinces. Although it is the largest (48% of the country's area) of the Pakistan, it is the least populated (only 5% of the population) and the least developed area.
Main characters
There are three distinct parties involved and affected by this conflict:

Central governments (1946-2006)
Sardars (Tribal chiefs)
First conflict 1948 (led by Prince Abdul karim khan)

In April 1948 the central government sent the Pakistan army who allegedly forced Mir Ahmed Yar Khan to give up his state. Mir Ahmed Yar Khan signed an accession agreement ending Kalat's de facto independence. His brother, Prince Abdul Karim Khan, decided to carry on with the struggle. Basing himself in Afghanistan he conducted guerrilla warfare against the Pakistan army[1]. On the night of May 16, 1948 Prince Abdul Karim Khan, decided to lead a separatist movement against the Pakistan government.

The Prince invited the leading members of nationalist political parties—the Kalat State National Party, the Baloch League, and the Baloch National Workers Party — to join him in the struggle for the creation of an independent "Greater Balochistan." The Prince was a member of the royal family and the former governor of the Makran province.



Second conflict (1958-59 led by Nawab Nowroz Khan)
Nawab Nowroz Khan took up arms in resistance to the One Unit policy which was perceived by some in Balochistan to be designed and initiated by the federal government to turn Baloch in minioroty in their own land. He and his followers started a guerilla war against Pakistan. Noroz khan & followers were charged with treason and arrested and confined in Hyderabad jail. Five of his family members (sons and nephews) were subsequently hanged. Nawab Nowroz Khan later died in captivity.[2]


Third conflict 1963-69 (led by Sher Mohammad Bijarani Marri)

After the second conflict the Federal government sent the Army to build new military bases in the key trouble areas of Balochistan to resist further chaos. Sher Mohammad Bijarani Marri led like-minded militants to start a guerrilla warfare against the establishment of these posts by creating its own posts of insurgency spreading over 45,000 miles (72,000 km) of land from the Mengal tribal area in the south to the Marri and Bugti tribal areas in the north against the Pakistan's act of altering the population of Baloch & their miniority. The insurgents bombed railway tracks and ambushed convoys. The Army retaliated by destroying vast areas of the Marri tribe's land. This insurgency ended in 1969 when Yahya Khan abolished the "One Unit" policy and the Balochs agreed to a ceasefire [3]. This eventually led to the recognition of Balochistan as the fourth province of West Pakistan (present-day Pakistan) in 1970.



Fourth conflict 1973-77 (led by Nawab Khair Baksh Marri)
For more details on this topic, see Baloch Insurgency and Rahimuddin's Stabilization.
In 1972, major political parties from a wide spectrum of political ideology united against the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (the then President of Pakistan) and formed the National Awami Party NAP and demanded more representation for the ethnic Baloch in the government. This allegedly did not sit well with Bhutto's approach as he was representative of establishment who never wanted the Baloch to come in iger position or live better lives, seen by some as elitist and authoritarian[citation needed]. In February 1973, in the presence of news media in Islamabad, the police opened a consignment of Iraqi diplomatic pouches containing arms, ammunition and guerrilla warfare literature(which was never proved even Iraqi claimed that it was not for Balochistan it was for Iranian Baloch to fight against Iran). The Pakistani intelligence agencies claimed these arms were en route to the Baloch (Marri) insurgents of Balochistan. Citing treason, Bhutto was looking for such reasons for a ling time, subsequently he dismissed the provincial government of Balochistan and imposed governor rule. [4]

Dismissal of the provincial government led to armed insurgency. Khair Bakhsh Marri formed the Balochistan People’s Liberation Front (BPLF) which led large numbers of Marri and Mengal tribesmen into guerrilla warfare against the central government.[5] According to some authors, the Pakistani military lost 300 to 400 soldiers during the conflict with the Balochi separatists& baloch lost about 90,000 lives & 12,000 are still missing,[6] while the Balouch lost 7,300 separatists, during this period are estimated at 8,000.[6] Bhutto was deposed by General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in 1977, and the conflict formally ended when new martial law administrator General Rahimuddin Khan declared a general amnesty for belligerents willing to give up arms.[7] Shortly thereafter, Rahimuddin oversaw a complete military withdrawal.



Fifth conflict 2004 - to date (lead by Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti and Mir Balach Marri)
In 2005, the Baluch political leaders Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti and Mir Balach Marri presented a 15-point agenda to the Pakistan government. Their stated demands included greater control of the province's resources, protection for the Baluch minority and a halt to the building of military bases. [8]

Some political party members, students, doctors and tribal leaders are alleged to have been detained by government security forces, many disappearing for years, majority is still missing mainly due to their links to foreign agencies and terrorist activities.

On 15 December 2005, Inspector-General of Frontier Corps Maj Gen Shujaat Zamir Dar and his deputy Brig Salim Nawaz (the current IGFC) were wounded after shots were fired at their helicopter in Balochistan province. The provincial interior secretary later said that "both of them were wounded in the leg but both are in stable condition." The two men had been visiting Kohlu, about 220 km (135 miles) south-east of Quetta, when their aircraft came under fire. The helicopter landed safely. [9]

In August 2006, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, 79 years old, was killed in fighting with the Pakistan Army in which at least sixty Pakistani soldiers and 7 officers were killed. He was charged by Pakistan's government of a series of bomb blasts, killings of his own people and the rocket attack on the President Pervez Musharraf. It is said that the Pakistani army wanted to nab him alive, but he blew himself up with explosives to avoid capture which caused the heavy army casualties mentioned above [10]

In April 2009, Baloch National Movement president Ghulam Mohammed Baloch and two other nationalist leaders (Lala Munir and Sher Muhammad), were seized from a small legal office and were allegedly "handcuffed, blindfolded and hustled into a waiting pickup truck which is in still use of intelligence forces in front of their lawyer and neighboring shopkeepers." Five days later on April 8 their bodies, "riddled with bullets"[11] were found in the countryside, sparking "rioting and weeks of strikes, demonstrations and civil resistance" in cities and towns around Balochistan[12]. (See Turbat killings).
