Balochistan is burning—literally and politically. In a dramatic escalation of the region’s unrest, angry protesters torched a police station while a deadly blast shook Quetta, sending shockwaves through Pakistan’s already fragile internal security.
What Happened?
Reports from local sources and international agencies confirm that a violent uprising broke out in parts of Balochistan, following weeks of unrest over military oppression, forced disappearances, and targeted killings of Baloch civilians.
The people have had enough.
In a rare show of defiance, protestors in one district stormed a police station, setting it ablaze and reportedly taking control for hours before military reinforcements arrived.
Meanwhile in Quetta:
A powerful bomb blast rocked a high-security zone in Quetta, the provincial capital, killing at least X people and injuring dozens more. No group has officially claimed responsibility yet, but fingers point to Baloch separatist outfits, frustrated with Islamabad’s iron-fisted rule.
Baloch Activists Speak Out:
“This isn’t terrorism—this is rebellion. This is what happens when a nation within a nation is silenced for decades,”
said a Baloch student leader in exile.
Pakistan’s Balochistan Problem: Boiling Over
- Balochistan has been demanding autonomy, justice, and human rights for decades.
- Thousands of activists have either disappeared or been silenced.
- With increasing international attention on Pakistan’s internal human rights record, these events might be the tipping point.
Global Watch:
The international community, including India, has often highlighted Pakistan’s hypocrisy—while it cries foul over Kashmir, it crushes Baloch voices with brute force.
