A Letter to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace  
Dear Sir
As a political and social worker, with great concern, I would like to inform you that we Baloch are being pushed into a religious circle by Pakistani military junta and Iranian theocratic regime in Balochistan in a unusual way: Promoting Islam among Baloch and thereby the killing of Baloch nationalism and turning it into a greater part of Islamic world.

Fanatic Mullaism is proactively being promoted by the collaboration of discarded local mullahs in Balochistan against the Baloch nationalism which seeks the restoration of its national sovereignty over Balochistan. Yesterday on July 31, a “tabligi ijtama" that is, promotional gathering for Islam, has started its gathering in Gwadar, a coastal port city in Balochistan,

Such religious activities are always taking place in all over Balochistan, and this phenomenon suggest a new conspiracy against Baloch and is seen by nationalist  as second force of Pakistani government after its arms forces.

After the failure of Paki army in crushing the Baloch Resistance movements, now it wants dilute the intensity of Baloch nationalism by mobilizing the religious elements in our society.

All these activities are funded by I S I and spearheaded by Mulana Sherani of Jumayat Ulme Islam. He is a member of Pakistan national assembly and he heads JUI in Balochistan.

The striking concern is that Iran is also involved in promoting mullahs among Baloch people. for example a common Baloch who wants to visit his relatives on the other side of the boarder the irani occupied Balochistan, has to go through harsh scrutiny by Pasdarane Inqalab, the Revolutionary Guard. But on the other hand those who want to participate in a religious gathering in Pakistani held Balochistan have to face no restrictions, they can pass the boarder without any document or "Rahdari" permit.

All these activities can be seen through satellite. The gathering is still underway for another two days.

Archen Baloch

Thanking you for your kind attention

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

  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 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

  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
