Balochistan: Fight between people and army

 





As of May 19, 2025, Balochistan continues to experience significant unrest, marked by escalating violence, separatist declarations, and human rights concerns.

🧨 Recent Attacks and Security Developments

  • Car Bombing in Qillah Abdullah: On May 18, a car bomb exploded near a market in Qillah Abdullah, Balochistan, killing four people and injuring 20 others. The explosion also damaged nearby shops and a paramilitary building. While no group has claimed responsibility, suspicion falls on Baloch separatists, who often target civilians and security forces in the region. AP News+1The Times of India+1

  • Extrajudicial Killings: Renowned Baloch car racer Tariq Baloch has reportedly been killed in what has been condemned as part of Pakistan’s controversial "kill and dump" policy in the troubled region of Balochistan. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) has vocally denounced the act, describing it as part of a disturbing pattern of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings used to silence dissenting Baloch voices. @EconomicTimes+1Wikipedia+1

  • Train Hijacking by BLA: On March 11, 2025, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) hijacked the Jaffar Express, a Pakistani passenger train traveling from Quetta to Peshawar. The attackers detonated explosives in tunnels and on the train tracks before opening fire on the train, halting it in a mountainous terrain. The organization issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Baloch political prisoners to be released or they would execute hostages. The Pakistan Armed Forces launched an operation, codenamed Operation Green Bolan, to raid the hijacked train, eventually releasing 354 hostages and killing the 33 BLA insurgents.

🗣 Political and Separatist Movements

  • Declaration of Independence: On May 14, 2025, Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch declared that Balochistan was never truly a part of Pakistan, citing decades of suffering under what he described as "air bombings, enforced disappearances, and genocide" perpetrated by the Pakistani government. In his statement, he emphasized the Baloch people's distinct identity separate from Pakistan, asserting their right to independence. He also made a specific request to the Indian media, urging them not to refer to Balochs as "Pakistan's Own People," in order to acknowledge and respect their separate national identity and ongoing struggle for self-determination.

⚠️ Human Rights and Civil Unrest

  • Protests and Civilian Casualties: In a disturbing incident in Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistani security forces have been accused of opening fire on women, children, and other civilians during protests. The firing resulted in the deaths of at least five Baloch citizens, including children. The tragedy sparked widespread protests, with both men and women, including children, participating. As tensions escalated, Pakistani security forces responded by using batons to suppress the protests, resulting in violent clashes. Images have surfaced showing security forces brutally attacking the protesters. The anger in Balochistan has been rising in recent weeks, particularly after a series of events involving the capture of a train by ISIS militants and Pakistani forces. Despite this, Pakistan's security forces continue to crack down on the region, with reports of further arrests and the detainment of key Baloch leaders like Dr. Maharang Baloch. ABP Live

📌 Summary

Balochistan remains a volatile region, with ongoing separatist activities, military operations, and significant human rights concerns. The situation continues to evolve, and international attention remains crucial to address the underlying issues and promote stability in the region.

THE DARK MATTER (A MYSTERY).

  Dark matter is one of the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in the universe. It is a substance that makes up about 27% of the universe’s total mass and energy, yet remains entirely invisible and undetectable by conventional means. We know it exists because of its gravitational effects on ordinary (baryonic) matter, but its exact nature remains elusive. Here’s a detailed exploration of dark matter:                                                                  1. Observational Evidence for Dark Matter Galaxy Rotation Curves In the 1970s, astronomers observed something puzzling about the way galaxies rotate. When measuring the rotational speeds of stars in spiral galaxies, they found that stars at the outer edges of galaxies were moving much faster than would be expected based solely on the visible matter (suc...
