Aerial bombardment against Baloch people is disproportionate and against International laws: Hyrbyair Marri

By Archen Baloch



London: Expressing his view about IG FC (Inspector General Frontier Corps) visit to Iran, the Baloch leader Hyrbyair Marri has said that the visit was aimed to discuss strategies, share information and experience on how to eliminate the Baloch Nation. Iran and Pakistan, like in past, want to join hands in their evils designs against Baloch freedom movement. It is pertinent to mention that in 1973 Iran and Pakistan has carried out joint air strikes against Baloch people and killed & injured thousands of Baloch men, women, elderly and children. To paralyse the Baloch economically peoples’ live stocks were bombarded and crops were set on fire.

Hyrbyair Marri further said that as soon as the IG FC came back from Iran he asked the federal government to allow using air strikes in Balochistan because Iran and Pakistan in order to strengthen their occupation over Balochistan are finding new ways to unite and expand their atrocities and genocidal policies against the Baloch people. “Baloch are not living in 70s, they know their enemies very well. Iran and Pakistan should not be under the illusion that by committing atrocities against Baloch people they can crush the Baloch struggle for freedom.”

The Baloch leader said that keeping in view the collusion of Iran and Pakistan the Baloch people of occupied Balochistan [by Iran and Pakistan] should also intensify their efforts and bring unity in their ranks against the twin enemies (Iran and Pakistan). Hyrbyair Marri said if two different nations, Punjabi and Farsi who speak different languages and their traditions and identity are also different, can unite to keep their occupation – then why cannot the Baloch nation unite to protect their national identity and existence. If today we do not unite and lose this opportunity, then we can give nothing but slavery to our future generations. “I am hopeful that Baloch have learned a lot from their past mistakes and instead of being silent they will raise their voice, according their capability, against Iranian and Pakistani occupation.”

The Baloch patriot leader said Pakistan has been indiscriminately carrying out Air Strikes along with ground forces – some time back one the Air Marshals of Pakistan has admitted using aerial bombing in Balochistan. “Pakistan is still trying to conceal her disastrous acts from the International Community and that is why Balochistan has been declared a no go area for International media. Pakistan is trying to hide her black deeds in a similar fashion as in 70s she tried to hide the genocide of Bengali people in Bangladesh until the last minute but now Pakistani military and the FC are openly talking of using Air Force in Balochistan.”

Mr Marri said Pakistan says that it will not hesitate to render any sacrifice to protect her integrity but in Balochistan it is committing atrocities to hide her crimes, not to protect her sovereignty. “Baloch nation is also adamant to offer physical and financial sacrifices for their motherland, natural rights, National identity and regaining their freedom. History has witnessed that Baloch nation has given enormous sacrifices against the illegal occupation of their land. Baloch are still continuing their courageous struggle against occupying forces and for protection of motherland.”

The Baloch leader said that the UN and the International Community should not turn a blind eye on Pakistani atrocities against Balochistan by terming it an internal issue of Pakistan because no country has carried out aerial bombardment to resolve their internal disputes. Air Strikes are used against an enemy state or against an occupied territory. Balochistan is an occupied land which Pakistan has occupied in 1948 by violating the international laws and to continue the occupation Pakistan has been indiscriminately using aerial bombardment, cluster bombs, napalm, and phosphorus weapons. “Pakistani military and FC has laid thousands of anti-personnel mines in several areas of Kohistan Marri including Nisao, Karmo Wadh, Kahan and Siyah Gari; innocent children, women, livestock and civilian are becoming victims of these landmines.”

Hyrbyair Marri said the use of fighter jets in Balochistan is disproportionate use of power and against the international laws. UN and International Community should to take notice of such atrocities and intervene in Balochistan to save innocent lives. Pakistan claims that Kashmir is her Carotid Artery and openly advocates for it on national and International level but India has never used fighter jets against Kashmir because it [India] respects the proportional use of power and International laws; whereas, Pakistan has been violating the international laws since 1948 to keep her dominance. For violating these international war laws the world Community should break their silence about Pakistan.

Pakistan has always tried to deceive the International community, said Mr Marri adding that giving sanctuary to Osama bin Laden near Kakol Military Academy is proof of Pakistan’s double cross. Sentencing the man, Dr Shakil Afridi, who helped found Bin Laden for 3 years and accusing him of being a supporter of extremist groups is a message for America that if you [America] can find and kill the leader of our [Pakistan’s] Jihadi movement, then why cannot we [Pakistan] accuse your friend [Shakil Afridi] of having links with extremist groups and sentence him to jail. “This, in a way is equal to rubbing salt to American’s wounds”, Mr Marri said.

Hyrbyair Marri further said that “If Pakistan can deceive or lie to a super power like America, then imagine what it has been doing in Balochistan to Baloch Nation from past 65 years. Over 14000 Baloch who have been made victims of enforced-disappearances but Pakistan says there are only couple of hundred forced-disappeared Baloch. Pakistan abducts Baloch youth and then lies that they’ve gone to Afghanistan and Dubai but few month later Pakistani military dump their mutilated and bullet-ridden bodies in deserted areas of Balochistan which according International laws is a serious crime against humanity.

“International Community should understand the seriousness of Balochistan situation, immediately intervene, recognise the Independence of Baloch land and give the Baloch Nation an opportunity to play their role in bringing peace and prosperity in the region.”

The bloody Black Friday: British Still on the Wrong side of Baloch History

By Archen Baloch
  By Archen Baloch  On Friday, 30th Sept 2022 Iranian forces killed more than 60 unarmed peaceful Baloch protesters and injured more than 275 people in the streets of Zahedan, the capital city of Iranian occupied Balochistan. The protest was a spontaneous uprising by its nature, because, apparently no political party had given the call for it. According to confirmed reports, widely available on social media in Persian and Balochi languages, the protests across Iranian-occupied Balochistan erupted when the news emerged that the police head of the coastal city of Chabahar, Colonel Ebrahim Kochzai, had raped a 15-year-old Baloch girl Maho Baloch on 27th September after arresting her for investigation. This ugly act of rape of a Baloch girl had taken place at a time when entire non-Persian nations, the Kurds and Ahvazi Arabs were protesting the murder of Kurdish girl, Mahsa Amini across Iran. Further information suggests college and university students across Balochistan have also come out

The Slogan of – Pakistan Quit Balochistan

By Archen Baloch
By Archen Baloch On 27th March 1948 Pakistan army invaded the sovereign state of Balochistan and forced the legitimate ruler, Khan of Kalat, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan to sign the merger agreement with Pakistan against the will of the Baloch nation. Baloch, under the leadership of Khan’s younger brother, Agha Abdul Kareem resisted this aggression but they were weak and the International community, especially the neighbouring countries, Afghanistan, Oman and India didn’t support them. The British Raj left Baloch at the mercy of religious Pakistan and in fact, British were instrumental in nudging and forcing Pakistan to occupy Balochistan. Our weakness was that the British, under the divide and rule policy, had antagonized the heads of almost all tribes against the Khan of Kalat. This antagonism among Baloch tribes always rendered the federal character of Kalat extremely weak. The British Raj also never allowed Balochistan to have its own formal defence force, except a light levy force for

The Enemy at the Gates: The Baloch Perspective

By Archen Baloch
  22nd August 2020 Photo credit: Arnica Kala / The Quint By Archen Baloch It suddenly emerged that China would pour a whopping amount of $ 400 billion into Iran for a 25 years’ strategic security and economic deal! This huge amount of money in the neighborhood is not only mouthwatering for the cash stripped Pakistan, but also it has raised security alarm for peaceful Gulf States, India, Israel America and the Baloch nation as well. The cash stripped Pakistan is now eyeing for a jackal’s share in this China-Iran-Nexus deal, despite the fact that it had already got its lion share from Belt and Road initiative of China in the form of China Pakistan Economic Corridor at the cost of Baloch blood.  However, to win Iran’s confidence for the jackal’s share, Pakistan has now started to distance itself from Saudi Arabia by blaming it that it is not supporting Kashmir’s cause. In fact, for quite a time, Riyadh has been trying to keep Pakistan away from the Iranian sphere of influence by offering
