Petition for Free Balochistan

Availing the opportunity of German democracy, protection and respect for human rights and freedom of expression, many Baloch political activists sought political asylum in Germany. However, they are often regarded as either Iranian or Pakistani due to lack of information about Balochistan’s illegal occupation by Pakistan and Iran. The members of Free Balochistan Movement embarked upon a signature awareness campaign to inform the German public as well the government that ‘Balochistan is neither Iran nor Pakistan’.

The campaign is also to protests against the daily human rights violations in Balochistan perpetrated by both Iranian and Pakistani armies with blanket impunity from international community’s scrutiny. The fanatic states of Iran and Pakistan are not only involved in human rights violations and war crimes in Balochistan but they are also promoting religious fundamentalism around the world.

The voice of Baloch general public against injustices of tyrannical colonial rule of Pakistan and Iran has been muzzled by media blackout in both occupying countries. But in German democratic society, seeing a window of opportunity of freedom of expression, activists of FBM are doing their best to let the world know what is the relationship of the Baloch nation with Iranian and Pakistan.

Currently, the activists of free Balochistan Movement in Germany didn’t limit their activism against only to human rights violence, but they’re highlighting the real objective of the Baloch national struggle for freedom that says we refused to be called Pakistanis or Iranian nationals because our country has been colonised by military means.

“We want to restore our lost sovereignty over our homeland, Balochistan. Currently, our country is arbitrarily divided into two parts between Iran and Pakistan. We are striving to convince German people that Baloch are a separate nation than Iranians and Pakistan. We are separate in every aspect from language to culture, food, music and traditions. Overall we have nothing in common with Punjabis and Persian,” one of the organisers Mr Elahi Bakhsh told Balochwarna News.

“It has been more than a month our signature campaign, titled ‘Balochistan is neither Pakistan nor Iran’ has been continued in almost all German cities. Our objective is to educate the German nation about the cause of our struggle that both Pakistan and Iran have occupied our country by military aggression. Therefore, it is the moral duty of all freedom-loving nations to come forward and lend their supporting hands so that our nation’s sovereignty is resorted over our motherland, Balochistan”, Mr Bakhsh added.

These campaigners of “Balochistan is neither Pakistan nor Iran” are reporting their activities on their Party page in Facebook, Free Balochistan Movement and other Baloch media outlets. In one such reported they emphasised on Balochistan’s occupation and the consequent division by the British Empire, “English Rulers divided Balochistan by drawing the artificial lines of “Gold Smith” and “Durand” and then provided the chance for the occupiers [Pakistan and Iran] to invade the sovereign state of Balochistan, and it is alarming and has to be denounced.”

On Friday 3rd May 2019, FBM’s activists held two signatory Campaigns simultaneously. One was held in German capital city of Berlin in front of US and France embassies and the other was held in the German city of Wuppertal of Northern Province of Westfalen. The campaigners said Germans and nationalities of other countries overwhelmingly supported and signed their petition of ‘Balochistan is neither Pakistan nor Iran’.

The campaigner also called on their former colonial ruler, the British Raj to correct their historical blunder which denied the Baloch of their sovereignty, in these words, “This will remain a debt on the history and evolution of Great Britain. This has become now the responsibility of Great Britain to support Balochistan’s independence struggle so that the “blunder” they committed is corrected so that the democracy-loving British public is not regretting”.

Mr Hyrbyair Marri, the head of Free Baloch Movement, recently asked the international community especially the US and the western world that “Pakistan and Iran should be blacklisted and given a stern warning to end the Balochocide (Baloch genocide) and their support for terrorism in the world.”

Baloch is a secular nation, striving for their basic rights for freedom and dignity and they think without their own the sovereign independent country of free Balochistan, they will be degraded and their national resources will be exploited by extremist countries, Pakistan and Iran for their nefarious designs.

The Free Balochistan Movement’s awareness campaign is a true representation of Baloch national aspirations and the Baloch narrative that Pakistani and Iranian media has been negatively portraying. It is the moral and national responsibility of all pro-freedom Baloch activists in exile to support and promote the petition of FBM to inform the world about the illegal occupation of Balochistan and Baloch struggle against again occupation.

Neutralise Pakistan’s Scarecrow of Nuke Threat

By Archen Baloch

On 14 February a terrorist attack on Indian troops in Pulwama town in Kashmir, India claimed 41 lives of Indian CRPF Jawans. This deadly attack was reportedly carried out (responsibility accepted) by a Pakistan based religious terror group, Jaish-e-Mohammad, JeM.

Baloch nation, also a victim of Pakistan’s rogue army and its religious proxies, has always been supported by sincere Indian people on moral grounds, on all occasions, they rendered support to Balochistan’s just cause for independence in Indian media. However, the Indian government has never moved beyond lip service in terms of substantial diplomatic and political support at the international level in the face of war crimes perpetrated by the aggressive Pakistan army in the occupied Balochistan.

Baloch perspective in terms of policy matter with respect to Pulwama attack on Indian troops in Kashmir is clear. Mr. Hyrbyair Marri, the patriotic Baloch national leader and head of Free Balochistan Movement, in his tweet on Pulwama attack said, “Pakistan is playing with India like a basketball, and if it was the other way around, with Pakistan being the size and having the same strength as India, and India being the size of Pakistan, then India would have been a game of ping pong for Pakistan. My question is, for how long India is going to tolerate being bashed by Pakistan and turning the other cheek? ”.

If we go through the country study of Pakistan’s political structure, we will find that Pakistan’s dominant province, Punjab is the Serbian character of former Yugoslavia in Pakistan. This province of Pakistan is exclusively micromanaging Pakistan’s entire affairs through its army dominance over other nationalities under its colonial rule and its so-called civilian governments have always remained smokescreens where terrorism is being sold to world’s peaceful nations. This is the main reasons why Baloch, Pashtuns & Sindhi want to liberate themselves from the clutch of Punjab’s ultra-nationalism.

They loot the natural resources of other nationalities under its colonial rule & develop the swarming population of Punjab cities. Punjabi Generals think, and rightly so, that they cannot sustain their dominance over other nationalities without Kashmir being a part of Pakistan & Afghanistan without a pro-Pakistan Taliban regime.

Let us also not forget the fact that the majority Bengali people of former East Pakistan were subjected genocide, torture, and rape and pushed asked the wall for only for not following the dictations of Pakistan’s Punjabi nation. People of free Bangladesh – today – are lucky that they have rid themselves of a parasite like Pakistan’s Punjabi army. Soon, the Baluch, Pashtun and Sindhi will be free from the clutches of Punjab because their freedom is investable but a helping hand from their neighbours will make is possible earlier and perhaps with less bloodshed.

We better describe this rogue province of Pakistan as Pak-Punjab, as there is another peaceful Punjab in India and this Pak-Punjab is the only nation that has taken the path of enmity towards India, Afghanistan, America, Baloch and Pashtuns with two scarecrow deterrents – Taliban Mujahid & dirty nukes, with these two deterrents it has blackmailed India, America, Europe and wreck havoc in Afghanistan, Balochistan Kashmir, Sindh and Pakhtunistan.

However, Pakistan cannot use its nukes against India for one obvious reason: as we hinted earlier that Pakistan is exclusively and solely micromanaged by Punjab, for Punjab’s economic well-being & its micromanagers are extremely ultra-nationalists, albeit in the garb of Pakistanihood and Islam. The micromanagers of Pakistan know very well that Punjab is well within the reach of Indian nukes and within the reach of India in case of a war.

In order to neutralise Pakistan’s nuke threat, India needs to train its Nukes at Pak-Punjabi cities & tell its micromanagers, the Punjabi army Generals that if sanity betrayed them, all cities of Punjab will turn into ashes! This is the only way to get rid of South Asia of terrorism. Baloch, Pashtuns and Sindhi people have cordial relationships and mutual respect for Indian people and they are fed up with Pakistan.

If a war breaks out between Indian and Pak-Punjab, the other nations named above will refrain from being part of this war. In fact, India must hold talks with the leaders of the Baloch freedom movement, Pashtuns and Sindhis to assure them that Pak-Punjab and their proxies are our common enemy. They have killed thousands of innocent Baloch, Pashtun, Sindhis and others.

It is in the interest of the entire region including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Balochistan, India and other regional stakeholders to rid themselves of Pakistan and its terrorist outfits. The rest of us can co-exist peaceful, respecting our mutual interests, and work for the peace, stability of regional and international peace. The world is better off without Pakistan and for this reason, the world must support Baloch.
