Balochistan Terrorism Watch

[aurelianpilled]

This doesn't sound right.

Why would people from Punjab and those too barbers, go as far as Iran border ?
heck, they could have opened a shop in their home city and made several times more money.

This does not sound right.

I will paraphrase what the victims' relatives said regarding this incident:
1) Pichle 2 saal se wahan woh kaam kar rahe thhe, in total 5 larke ek choti se makaan me Saloon khol kar
2) Kisi pending payment ke chakar se wahan gaye aur udhar he unke ID cards nikaal kar unka qatal kar diya gya...

hit the leadership and the handlers . they are low in number but their elimination will have much bigger impact. do it nicely and precise with plausable deniability. start with Afghanitan and UAE and then follow the trail where ever.

"Hit the leadership, they are low in number" .... that logic could have worked on the old insurgency, the sardari one.... Marri and Mengal tribesmen fought because their chiefs commanded them... Pacify the chief and you took the tribe... That's one reason why the state ran Balochistan through sardars for a hundred years (the Sandeman "sardar-sarkar" arrangement)....


That movement is dead.... What's fighting now is centered in Makran..... Kech, Panjgur, Gwadar .... the part of the province that never had a sardari system... the most urban and literate region, with its own universities..... The cadre is students and graduates who organize horizontally as equals, precisely because there was never a chief to speak for them.... It's leaderless resistance by design... there's no head to cut...


The record proves it.... Bugti killed 2006 = escalation..... Aslam Baloch, who built the Majeed Brigade, killed 2018 = the suicide program grew... 20 years of "high-value" removals bought more violence, because leaders are replaceable and grievances aren't......


And "precise, plausible deniability, hit the handlers" isn't a new idea... it's the current policy.... Furthermore, disappearances and "kill-and-dump" are the number 1 recruitment driver on record...... The Turbat killing that started Mahrang Baloch's whole movement is the proof..... You are prescribing more of the medicine that caused the disease.


Doing it in UAE and Afghanistan just internationalizes their cause and hands them the exact grievance we accuse India of..... You can't decapitate a movement built specifically on having no head.... The tribal one you could kill.... This one you have to outgovern....

Softness is weakness. Families of terrorists need to suffer the consequences. The villages from where terrorists come need to be made in to concentration camps. Start zarb e azb in Balochistan or they will continue to kill.

State is ultimate monster, behave like one or keep getting ambushed like imbeciles. You can literally eradicate this fitnah in few years. Confiscate assets of Akhtar Mengal and other pro terrorist politicians to start with.

Only Sarfraz Bugti types need to breath in Balochistan.

Collective punishment is prohibited under the plain text of Islamic law (Qur'an 6:164) and under international humanitarian law ..... For a state whose entire claim over Balochistan rests on being a legitimate sovereign rather than an occupying force, discarding that principle forfeits the one advantage it holds over the separatists' narrative, and actions.....

Crucify the BLA terrorists all you want, but the ordinary Baloch aren't a fitnah to be eradicated... They are citizens with a grievance the state has spent decades answering with the exact brutality you are now demanding more of... That's not softness that failed us.... It's cruelty and indifference that failed us, and you want more of it...

incompetence or indifference take your pick or even worse complicit behaviour to let the situation go bad so that the scripted statements of condemnations are made and then an operation can be launched with scripted claims of killing X number of terrorists.

some senior leadership in Quetta needs to be sacked and reprimanded, not lower or mid tier ranks but senior ranks. BLA and TTP now allegedly has satelitle intel provided but that doesnt excuse the inaction. the soliders at that post ran out of amo and died waiting for the the reinforcements that never came for hours.
cross border black ops are needed to target senior leadership which will greatly reduce the appitite for terror attacks since killing these worthless minions means nothing for the likes of harbayar Merri and Brandagh etc.

Heads definitely need to roll and business cannot carry on as usual. People in jobs are far too complacent.

Our interior minister is on a whirlwind global tour on the Chief's jet. There were calls to make Gen Tariq the interior minister, but unless a complete overhaul is done, singular changes won't do.

There's a limit to how much you can hide behind the concept of martyrdom, and your soldiers will start to question you too once they this state of affairs. Officer ranks are already despondent if you talk to them.

You, sire, are confusing disagreement with delusion.....

Not every nationalist claim is correct... but not every grievance is fictional either..... Sui gas being historically undervalued compared to other fields is a well known example....

For years, Sui gas was priced at around Rs 47/MMBTU, while in Sindh, Mari was around Rs 171 and Qadirpur around Rs 240.... Since royalties are calculated on the wellhead price, Balochistan repeatedly argued (hardly without reason) that it was receiving less than it should...... Even OGRA acknowledged before the NFC that Sui's wellhead price remained unusually low compared to other fields....

You can call them delusional all day long.... It still doesn't explain why so many people(not just separatists) believe they got a raw deal...

The real problem is that your entire explanation boils down to "millions of people are idiots" .....That's not a serious argument.... it's an intellectual shortcut...

More importantly, Alienation isn't measured on a balance sheet, and calling people stupid doesn't make it disappear....

Well congratulations. They asked for "fair price". Got it. And saw their competitive advantage evaporate. It was literally cheaper fro industry to buy gas from overseas and build an enormous gas terminal at Port Qasim. Got control iof their resources. And promptly made it useless.
Of course, Thar coal is now used for making syngas for fertiliser instead. Nuclear power meant that its role in power generation was reduced.
Economics doesn't give a shit about your nationalist slogans.

Dumbasses reduced their own leverage.
