Those who advice surrender must quit Balochistan – Banuk Karima Baloch

Occupied Balochistan:The central chairperson of Baloch Students Organization (Azad) and Baloch pro-independence women leader Banuk Karima Baloch said those who advice Baloch Sarmachars to surrender must quit Balochistan. Baloch didn’t occupy Punjab or Khyber-Pakhtunkuwa, they are defending their own land and fighting against the occupying forces of Pakistan and enforced occupation of their motherlandland.

She said that even free nation bear weapons to protect the borders of their lands than why shouldn’t we Baloch as we are an occupied nation. Those who talk of negotiation and suggest Baloch to surrender are actually trying to push died vehicle of the state some further. They must first take a look at their falling economy, corruption and other social and ethical evils; they will surely know their reality that their own state is on the top on the list of failed states of the world from last many years. The state whose own guards are pinching its own citizens on every step must not consider other nations, like itself, corrupt and baseless on their struggle of freedom because the power the state is addressee with, is the Baloch national force and Baloch national force is not like the forces of occupying state who consider their institutions as business and land as business market. States can not survive on the funds received from the world in the name aid for natural tragedies (i.e. earth quakes and floods).

She further said that forces of occupying state with the labels of local groups are speeding up the genocide of Baloch nation to see themselves successful but all their efforts to keep the Baloch enslaved remain failed. Recovery of bullet-riddled bodies cannot prevent us from struggling for freedom. In contrary, Baloch youth is now facing the cruelty of imperialist forces more bravely.

Baloch movement cannot be suppressed by barbarism of occupy state, bribable Sardars and Nawabs conspiracies and Fatwahs of Mullas and Mosques.

Banuk Karima concluded saying I urge respectable elder Sardar to listen to the voices of Baloch mothers and sisters before trying to dishearten the Baloch youth from Baloch liberation movement, all his personal ego against Baloch Liberation movement will automatically fade away.

648 days of protest camp for recovery of Baloch Missing persons yield no result

Karachi:It is the 23rd day of the sit-in protest outside the Karachi Press Club against enforced disappearances, and 11-year-old Nabeela from Pullabad, a village in Balochistan’s Turbat District has been here for all of these days.

She sits, cornered by the grown-ups, in a camp shrouded with portraits of missing persons and what the protesters call “martyrs of the Baloch cause”. Her face is covered in a purple dupatta, and she speaks only Balochi. It was August 9, 2011, when her brother, Karim Jan Baloch, a 22-year-old student, went missing. Two months later his tortured body was found in some woods in Turbat, along with the body of 17-year-old Arfat. He too was a student.

Nabeela remembers seeing the dead body, so does her mother who sits beside her. But the family claims that “killing the Baloch sons will never drown the movement, it will only make it stronger”.

“I have given one son for my soil, and I’ll not hesitate giving my two other sons.”

Summi Baloch is another young girl among the protesters. Her cousin Zakir Majeed Baloch went missing on June 8, 2009. She claims he was abducted by intelligence agencies. Three years later, his whereabouts are still unknown.

Zakir Majeed was a 27-year-old student, and a leader of the Baloch Students Organisation.

“Yes, he did speak for the rights of his people, since when is that a crime? You talk about an independent judiciary, if he is accused of treason try him in your independent courts. Who gives security forces the right to pick up our people without a warrant?”

There are others who liken the Balochistan situation to the then East Pakistan. “The Bengalis were deprived of their rights, their resources were exploited, their voice silenced. Look what happened a couple of years later. Balochistan is history repeating itself,” says one protester. The camp has moved around various press clubs of the country, and today is the 648th day of the countrywide protest.

The protesters claim that 14,362 Baloch have gone missing till date and 370 dead bodies have been found. “In 2012 alone, 23 Baloch disappeared, and January has not ended yet,” Majeed Baloch claims.
