Who are the Baloch?

Baloch militants are an ethnic group from the Balochistan region, which spans Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province, but it is also one of its most sparsely populated and poorest. The Baloch people have a unique language (Balochi), culture, and tribal traditions. Their identity is distinct from other ethnic groups such as the Punjabis, Sindhis, and Pashtuns.

Issues and Conflicts

Political Grievances: Many Baloch people claim political marginalization, lack of autonomy, and unfair treatment.
Baloch Insurgency: Several Baloch nationalist and separatist groups, such as the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), have been fighting for greater autonomy or independence from Pakistan since the early 2000s.
