TBP infographics: Comparing United Balochistan to what was left after the British left. A visual representation of how the region has been divided and conquered over the years. 1/6
Balochistan is a region that is dissected by international borders, dividing one country into three parts - Iran, Afghanistan, and modern-day Pakistan all have a piece of Balochistan. 2/6
Explaining the separation of different parts of Balochistan such as Karachi, Gwadar, Derajat, Khangrah, and MirJaveh, these locations have played significant roles in the development of the region over the years. 3/6
Just in last 24 hours there have been over 20 attacks in Balochistan against Pakistani military, election candidates, and natural resources exploration companies.
These attacks are in addition to BLA’s attack on Mach city and adjoining areas.
In Quetta four attacks were carried out against security forces and election candidates.
Four attacks in Kalat against exploration companies and election candidates.
Two attacks in Khuzdar against security forces and at an office of an election candidate.
Attempted attack on an office of an election candidate in Hub Chowki.
Three attacks in Turbat against Pakistani military camps and outposts.
Thread: Earlier today BLA announced conclusion of its operation Dara-e-Bolan. Few key points from BLA’s unprecedented attack:
- It was the largest attack by an armed group in Balochistan’s history.
- It was first time in Balochistan’s history that an armed group took over control of a town, only 60km away from Balochistan’s capital. This is a town that has nearly a dozen military camps and installations and the high security Mach jail.
- It was first time in Balochistan’s history that an armed group carried out a conventional military style attack.
- Operation Dara-e-Bolan exhibited BLA’s very strong military capabilities. Many believe BLA is now led/trained by professionally trained/ex-military individuals.
Yesterday three dead bodies were recovered from a well near Barkhan in Balochistan. The bodies were taken to hospital, where they were identified as Granaaz Marri and her two sons Mohammad Nawaz and Abdul Qadir.
Granaaz Marri and her children were detained in a private jail by Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran since 2019.
Khetran is a leader of BAP, a party formed and catapulted into government overnight under alleged patronage of Pakistani intelligence agencies.
Abdul Rehman Khetran is considered very close to Pakistani military leadership.
He and his sons are believed to head a death squad, armed groups allegedly formed/supported by military and intelligence agencies to counter Baloch “pro-independence” organisations.
