Many Pak generals have cosied up to US presidents. So, this version isn’t surprising. Deals, like on cryptocurrency, cringe-worthy flattery, and Pak-Saudi-Türkiye-Egypt emerging quad have made Munir the go-between. But, any peace talk is good for India

Pakistan is grappling with a severe surge in terrorist violence, with terrorism-related deaths skyrocketing to 4,001 in 2025, the highest in over a decade. The report highlights the nation as a hub for numerous armed groups, many designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan bearing the brunt of the attacks.

Pakistan faces a strategic crossroads, caught between alliances and regional conflicts. Past involvements in foreign wars, driven by external powers, have led to domestic instability and blowback. Now, a new defence pact with Saudi Arabia and escalating conflict with Afghanistan highlight the nation's struggle to balance relevance with long-term stability, risking further entanglement.

A senior Baloch nationalist leader warned that Balochistan would not "remain with" Pakistan if extra-judicial killings and excesses by security forces in the restive province were not stopped immediately.

The Baloch National Movement (BNM) has accused the Pakistani forces of abducting and killing three Baloch youth as part of their efforts to exert control over Balochistan. The BNM alleges that the Pakistani army is the primary perpetrator of human rights violations and enforced disappearances in the region. They have called for international organizations and journalists to take immediate action and bring attention to the ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan. The BNM emphasizes that the narrative presented by the Pakistani army and authorities should not be solely relied upon.

Pakistan is gearing up for a full-scale military operation in Balochistan to counter a surge in attacks on civilians and foreign nationals. The operation targets separatist groups, including the Majeed Brigade, BLA, BLF, and BRAS, who are accused of undermining Pakistan's security and economic progress at the behest of hostile foreign powers.

Razzak Baloch from the Baloch Human Rights Council condemned Pakistan and China for exploiting resources in Balochistan during a protest in Geneva. He demanded their removal to ensure peace for the people of Balochistan, Sindh, and Pashtunistan. He accused both nations of human rights violations and resource exploitation, calling Pakistan a failed state.

Balochistan is witnessing a surge in militant activity ahead of Pakistani elections. Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and Baloch Balochistan Liberation Front are involved in violent clashes with security forces. Balochistan is rich in natural resources like gas, minerals, and gold and also plays a crucial role in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Demanding an end to Pakistan's "forceful" occupation of Balochistan, Baloch-Americans and leaders from the restive Pakistani province held a peaceful protest in front of the White House to seek US intervention and deployment of NATO troops in the region.

In a statement they strongly condemned the "Pakistani state policy" of repressing the voice of political dissent in Sindh resulting in mass enforced disappearances, targeted killings, forced conversion to Islam of Hindu girls and brutal sectarian violence deliberately targeting Sufi shrines and places of worship of religious minorities.

The story of Mazdak is similar to thousands of Baloch who have sought asylum in different parts of the world after being hounded by the Pakistan army.

Pakistani security forces abandoned their border check posts after violent protests erupted in Brabchah, Balochistan, on Wednesday, the local media reported. Thousands of protestors pelted stones at the Pakistani security personnel forcing them to retreat and abandon their border posts. The protestors also destroyed and torched buildings of the military establishment.
