Independence of Balochistan: Rights of Baloch Nation

By Aziz Baloch

” I have been frequently visiting Punjab Province and try to pursue the leaders of Punjab and asking them to read the writing on the wall, I have been pleading with them to join the struggle of smaller nationalities legitimate right rather to presume the lead winning the confidence of smaller nationalities, the apathy shown by ruling class sometime leads me to think that the position taken by my comrades, which I have been dismissing as subjective, is perhaps not so; on the contrary I now tend to ask myself am I the victim of flawed line of thinking? Is it a sense of frustration that lives in me from correctly evaluating the reality driven stand point (independence of Balochistan) of my comrades.” These are the words from prominent Baloch parliamentarian leaders late Mir Ghaus Bakhsh Bizenjo. He said this prior of two month in his death. “In search of Solutions: The Autobiography of Mir Ghaus Bakhsh Bizenjo”

میں ایک بچے کو جانتا ہوں وہ کچھ سال پہلے تک اسکول کا بستہ اپنے کندھوں پر اُٹھایا کرتا تھا، پر قسمت کا بھی کیا کہنا جی! تمام تر حالات و واقعات سے باخبر ہونے کے باوجود اُسکا گُذر اُسی ’’برموداٹرائینگل‘‘ سے ہوا، جہاں سے اکثر لوگ اپنے پیاروں کے گُم ہوجانے کے قصے سناتے ہیں۔ اُس بچے کی خوش قسمتی یہ تھی کہ وہ خود تو اوتھل زیروپوائنٹ کے بدنام زمانہ’’برموداٹرائینگل‘‘ سے بچ نکلا۔۔۔۔۔ مگر بدقسمتی سے اُسکا والد اُس بے رحم ’’برمودا ٹرائینگل‘‘ کی نذر ہوگیا، اور اُنکی چار سالوں سے کوئی خبر نہیں ہے۔قدرت سے خفا یہ بچہ اسکول کے بستے کوگھر کے ایک کونے میں پھینک کراپنے گمشدہ والد کی تصاویریں اُٹھا کر اُنکی تلاش میں چل پڑا۔۔۔۔۔۔ مگر نتیجہ کچھ نہیں نکلا۔وہ چھ سالہ لڑکا اب دس سال کا ہوچکا ہے۔ قدرت کو شاید بچے کی چار سال پہلے خفا ہونے والی وہ بات ناگوار گذری تھی، اور قدرت ’’برموداٹرائینگل‘‘ پر اس قدر مہربان ہوگئی کہ زمین کا کیا ہلنا تھا نہ اُس بچے کا اسکول بچ سکا اور نہ ہی گھر کی چاردیواریاں، اور تو اور،اُسکے والدکی تصویریں ملبے میں دھنس گئیں۔۔۔۔۔ پھر رہی سہی کسر ’’برموداٹرائینگل‘‘ کے پھیرے داروں نے پوری کردی۔۔۔۔۔۔۔ اب نہ باہر سے اندر کوئی اِنکی مدد کو آسکتا ہے اور نہ ہی یہاں کے لوگ اپنی جانیں بچا کر باہر نکل سکتے ہیں۔

Fear & loathing in Awaran

by NAZIHA SYED ALI

IT was a surreal setting. The ruins of a village in Awaran, Balochistan, bathed in the light of the nearly full moon.

A tiny mosque was the only structure, it seemed, that had been left standing here after two earthquakes in late September killed an estimated 400 people in the sparsely populated Awaran and Kech districts.

In this particular village, there were close to 60 casualties, including about 20 deaths.
