From the heart of Quetta, Baloch Yakjehti Committee leader Sammee Deen Baloch delivers a stark warning: Pakistan’s Balochistan crisis boils down to identity erasure, far beyond any armed struggle.
Baloch, a fearless human rights defender, claims the state vilifies all Baloch as threats. This toxic view drives nonstop violations—snatching away unarmed civilians, slaughtering the vulnerable, from pregnant women to preteens.
Her X post cuts deep: ‘Every Baloch is a target. Disappearances and killings span genders and ages. It’s not resistance that bothers them—it’s who we are.’
Baloch shreds the terrorism pretext. ‘It’s a veil for anti-Baloch agendas, polished for the world stage. Where does abducting innocents fit in counter-terror ops?’
Genocide accusations from Baloch voices get branded fake news. Baloch counters: ‘Targeting an identity without mercy is genocide defined.’
She condemns the regime’s barbarity. ‘Wartime codes protect women and kids, but Pakistan’s ‘civilized’ state has none left. Constitutions and treaties? Empty words in this land.’
Balochistan suffers chronic state terror: shielded assassins prowling for disappearances, kangaroo court deaths, wrongful jails. Baloch’s bold stand rallies global attention to the unfolding tragedy.
