Quartering the Vanquished Foe


18.06.2008

 By Archen Baloch
  


Asif Zardari and Prime Minister Yousif visit to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia indicated that the kingdom considering on giving Pakistan a one year oil support on credit and at the same time the US government also has conceded to giving 10 F16 jet air fighters to Pakistan. While 9/11 loan moratorium by world community to Pakistan delivered nothing in fighting terrorism. And it rather quartered the vanquished foe. Under the ISI's courtship the fugitives of Taliban took refuge in Pakistan. All the financial and weaponry hardware supports, it received from western world for the war against terrorism, are now being used against Baloch nation.  

If one care to take into account the Baloch national concerns, the Saudis and the American benevolence to Pakistan means issuing a certificate for liquidating the Baloch nation. Any economic and military hardware support to Pakistan means the compress of Baloch national struggle and a compressed or defeated Baloch national resistance means a strong Talibanized Islamic atomic power Pakistan and a strong Shiite theocratic regime in Iran, as half of Balochistan is occupied by Iran.

Pakistan has proliferated WMD to Iran regardless of GCC countries concerns and reservations towards it. There is a covert security pact between Pakistan and Iran regarding to Baloch nationalism. Pakistan does not want a weak Iran which eventually leads to an independent Balochistan. So therefore a strong Iran is in defense favor of Pakistan. Baloch political workers have frequently reported transport of heavy weapons to Iran by Pakistan and clandestine high level meetings of both countries at the boarder points. But all these reports have gone unnoticed to international media because of media - blackout maintained by Iran and Pakistan in Balochistan.

Both countries have committed human rights violence by subjecting Baloch nation under brute repression. Let alone the denial of basic amnesties to the subjugated nation, they have now started liquidating our nation. Both countries are engage in a deep rooted conspiracy in containing the secular Baloch national struggle for independent.  The World community should know its ramification to Baloch nation's survival and its implications to world peace. Pakistan's irrational existence is an irritant mark on the face of world peace.

As the current situation in Asian Middle East getting worsens because of Iran's adamant nuclear policy and Pakistan's Talibanization, the Baloch are becoming the main sufferer of it in the region. With the collaboration of Pakistani crime ridden ISI, the Iranian regime has increasingly intensified its heinous crimes against Baloch nation, who are seeking to revive their sovereignty over their own homeland Balochistan. The handover of Ghulam Haider Raisani, along with other 4 innocent Baloch youths on June 14, 2008 to Iranian regime by Pakistani military government shows how involved Both tyrant countries in subjugating Baloch nation.  

It is Sunni and Shiite fascism both in Pakistan and Iran, which is seeking the liquidation of secular Baloch nation to satiate the thirst of ultra-nationalist Punjabi and Persian predatory whim in the name of Islam by looting  the Baloch national wealth to promote the "Muslim Umma" ideology.

Religious elements as their (foot soldiers) are being used for the purpose of diluting Baloch nationalism and distracting the course of independent from Iran and Pakistan.  In Pakistan the "Tabligy  Jumaith" is  funded by crime ridden notorious ISI to promote the  Islamic ideology "the two nation theory"  and thereby to dilute Baloch nationalism. The Tabligy Jumaith, headed by Abdul Wahab in "Ray Wand" in punjab is also the centre for recruiting members for Al Qaeda and Taliban. More than Rs. 2.5 Billions are allocated to mullahs to continue the heinous crimes of Pakistani agencies to counter Baloch national ideology in the disguise of serving the Islam.

Pakistan seems to have lost its equilibrium as a country. Its economy is in a serious mess nothing seems to be working to bring back serenity to it neither military rule nor controlled democracy. Social unrest is prevailing all over the country. And now it has come to a point where unraveling of the social organization of the country would take place and Balkanization follows it soon. Pakistan's irrational existence is an irritant mark on the face.   

Baloch armed resistance has taken its toll on Pakistani economy, as it targets not only army personnel but strategic economic assets too. It has disrupted Pakistan's main supply lines of natural gas and electricity to main cities industrial zones, and this has triggered a chain of backwards trends to Pakistani economy. Almost all of its export based industries are closed because of lake of electricity and natural gas.  As Pakistan economy is dependent on gas energy, 50% of it is produced from Balochistan gas fields which are constantly under attacked by Baloch resistance forces.
   
Pakistan is in dire need of energy. Even if its need of energy is met by the kingdom of Saudi Arabia for time being, but who gives assurance that this "mullah military country Pakistan" brings peace and stability. And the kingdom's precious oil is not wasted in supporting the Talibans.
      
Baloch are fighting a war of independent against Pakistani and Irani occupation of their homeland. It is a common war, even though they are fighting for their national survival in Pakistan and Iran, yet it directly benefits the peace loving nations in the region and abroad.

An independent Balochistan benefits the world in peace and prosperity because we Baloch believe in contribution. It is our national ideological believe that only contribution counts: in peace, democracy, environment and scientific research for the well being of mankind. But Pakistan and Iran have delivered nothing except terrorism, religious extremism, poverty, illiteracy and degradation of humankind. Both countries are promoting an ideology which has no regard for culture and diversity. If anything but religious promoted, would be regarded as atheist.  

The world could take a sigh of relief of religious extremism only when In both countries Baloch position is supported in reducing the theocratic Iranian regime to Qum and the Islamic military country Pakistan to just Lahore, Provided Baloch are financially and morally supported by world community.

To get rid of mullah's religious fanatic ideology, it is immediate task of the international community to support the ideology of nationalism. Baloch nationalism is already on its way towards achieving its nation state status. And it has dismayed the mullah's whim of Muslim Umma ideology to graveyard.

In Pakistani occupied Balochistan, the current Baloch national insurgency has attained significant success in demoralizing the Islamic military country (Pakistan) of the world and it has plunged Pakistan into an energy crisis because of attacking the gas pipelines and energy installations in Balochistan and by not allowing government to build new energy producing projects in Balochistan. But the Chinese factor is highly active in defeating the Baloch resistance.

The imperialistic Chinese vested interests in the Baloch Gulf Hot Water in Gwadar have given the world powers the every legitimate right to interfere in Baloch affairs because of it geo strategic location. And Baloch recognize the fact that without the consent and compromise of world powers there it is hard to get the job done.

Time is crucial. It is high time for the peace loving nations and the world community to act now to financially support the Baloch nationalist political parties and resistance forces.  The non - parliamentary political parties have programmed themselves to interpret the true case of Baloch national struggle for independent of Balochistan. They would welcome the supports they receive from likeminded friends.

As poverty has been used as a weapon by both Iran and Pakistan in suffocating the Baloch nationalism; it would prolong and affect the national struggle unfavorably if not supported by Baloch friends. But resistance won't die down. 

The conflict– induced poverty situation has made it more difficult for political leaders and the insurgents to collect fund to facilitate the struggle. Because of intensity of insurgency, and as result of harsh economic blockade of general population, unemployment has risen to a new height.

Baloch economy is dependent on Boarder trade between Iran and Pakistan. The closer of so called Boarders, on the chest of Baloch motherland, chokes the local economy. Iranian theocratic regime has now started digging a 10m wide and 12m deep canal ditch along the so-called pak - Iranian border, which is 520 miles, to Prevent Baloch nation from interaction to each other.. 

The alternative is the neighboring countries; they also have no particular policy towards Baloch nation, even though the Baloch are the main sufferer of Middle Eastern conflict. The execution of innocent Baloch youths and religious scholars in Iran is a daily routine. Thousands of Balochs have extra judicially been killed by Iranian theocratic regime. Even a single word of condemnation of Iranian atrocities have not been uttered by Middle Eastern nations, yet the Iranian regime accusing the Baloch nation that they are a part of a wider Middle Eastern nations conspiracy against Iran.      

In abroad particularly in western countries Baloch National struggle for freedom needed to be courted by civil societies and economic forums. Proactive support of civil societies around the world is crucial for the struggle to be successful. The NGOs and international media are barred from interring into Balochistan the world community should support Baloch in voicing their plight in the media. BBC and VOA should accommodate Baloch voice in Balochi language.

The western countries have no public immigration policy particular to Baloch plight. The NGOs and international media are barred from interring into Balochistan to investigate the Baloch issue themselves.      The number of Baloch in western world is much smaller than that to the number of Balochs living in Middle East.
                                                                                                                                         
The majority of Baloch Diasporas is living in Gulf countries; cannot  draw the attention of world community towards their national problems 'collectively' and effectively. Baloch think that as Balochistan is also a part of Middle Eastern nations; should be considered as their fellow nation just like the European nations. 

Before departing from their precious national wealth the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the American government should investigate that their national benevolence to Pakistan is not being used in liquidating the Baloch nation in Pakistan….?
