Police and terrorists are carrying out one of the most ferocious and callous armed operation in the Lyari area of Karachi since 27 April 2012. In this targeted operation more than million Baloch and Sindhi people have been left to suffer and die without food, water, electricity and medicines. Thousands have left Lyari to find security. Lyari looks like a war zone. Scores have been killed. It is genocide on the pretext of war against gangsters. The international community should stop this insanity and crime against humanity.

Subject: Call for US intervention in Balochistan

Dear Sir,

We would like to draw your attention towards the atrocities and gruesome violations of human rights of the Baloch in Pakistan.

For the last 9 years, the Baloch has been facing the onslaught of the brutal military establishment of Pakistan. The Pakistani state is waging a ruthless war in Balochistan in which thousands of innocent men, women and children have been mercilessly killed, hundreds of thousands have been displaced and thousands are missing. The state security agencies have targeted and physically eliminated a large number of prominent Baloch social, intellectual and political figures.

Remembering Gul Khan Naseer

By Dr. Naseer Dashti

Early decades of 20^th century was the period when the Baloch horizons were engulf in the dark shadows of despair, frustration and a growing sense of total defeat and helplessness. It was the period when the Baloch resistance against the British and its ally the Persians, had been ruthlessly crushed. It was the period when under different boundary commissions, the body of the Baloch land had been dissected and it had been divided into various parts controlled by the Persians, the British and the Afghans.  

In Eastern Balochistan, the glorious resistance of the Baloch led by Marri, Bugti, Mengal, Zehri and Nosherwanis had ended in total defeat. Leader of the Bugti tribe Mir Ghulam Hussain Bugti had been killed by the British and his head had been put on public display. Legendary guerilla fighter Noora Mengal had been imprisoned. Sardar Noordin Mengal and Mir Azad Khan Nosherwani had been neutralized. A crushing defeat had been delivered to the Marri by the British forces. The champions of the Baloch resistance against the British Mir Baloch Khan Nosherwani and Nawab Khan Mohammad Zarakzai had been killed.
