@Akbar_notezai @iAdnanAamir "The use of women suicide bombers may lead to divided opinions. Whether it proves to be a sign of BLA desperation or strength and whether the Majeed Brigade will keep employing new tactics combined with old ones to cause maximum fatalities remains to be seen."
- @Akbar_notezai's brilliant analysis! "With Pakistan’s greater economic dependence on #China as its economy is on a ventilator, a stronger military crackdown inside & outside #Balochistan could be the first move Islamabad takes 2 protect its all-weather friendship with Beijing."
Journalist @iAdnanAamir, who has closely followed China and its belt and route initiatives in the region, suspects: "China may continue to work on projects it has already invested in but might not invest in new projects in #Balochistan."

A very personal thread!

I am truly overwhelmed by your messages, phone calls, and DMS. I don’t share personal life events, but today's trolling is nothing compared to what I have gone through. Faced detention and suffered harassment in Gwadar and Qta in Dec 2015.
My house was ransacked in ISB in 2016. Thanks to the @guardian guy, who rescued me at 2:00 am. My telephone calls were traced, and I was pressurized to share the details of the people the former Guardian guy, and I interviewed. But I didn't. theguardian.com/world/2016/feb…
2016 was a year full of harassment and day-to-day meeting with ISI, MI, and ISPR in Islamabad. When I refused to toe their line, my name was recommended for the 4th scheduled anti-terror watch list in Jan 2017 to restrict my movement and block my bank accounts.

#حق_دو_تحریق نے بلوچ خواتین کی جبری گمشدگیوں اور ماوراۓ عدالت گرفتاری کے خلاف پورے مکران میں غیر معینہ مدت کیلیے مکمل ہڑتال کا اعلان کردیا۰

جو کام بلوچ قوم پرست جماعتوں بشمول @MediaCellBNP_ اور @NationalParty_ کو کرنا چاہیے تھا وہ @MHidayatRehman بڑی بہادری سے کررہے ہیں۰
جن لوگوں نے مولانا ہدایت الرحمان کی دیانتداری پر سوال اٹھایا اور کہا کہ وہ بلوچ نیشنل ازم کو سبوتاژ کرنے کے لیے لانچ کئے گئے ہیں وہی مولانا نے بلوچ قوم نیشنل ازم کو نئی جان دی ہے۰
اور یہ بھی اطلاعات ہیں کہ مولانا پے نور جان بلوچ کی غیر قانونی حراست کے خلاف ہوشاب میں ایک احتجاجی ریلی کے دوران تقریر کرنے پر غداری ایکٹ کے تحت مقدمہ درج کیا گیا ہے۔ اس سے پہلے مولانا کی نقل و حرکت محدود کرنے کے لیے اُنکا نام 4th شیڈول میں بھی ڈالا گیا تھا۔

ڈاکٹر شازیہ خالد جو ایک غیر بلوچ تھیں جنہیں جب ڈیرہ بگٹی میں جنسی زیادتی کا نشانہ بنایا گیا تو نواب اکبر خان بگٹی نے اُس عمل کو بلوچ روایات پر حملہ قرار دیا تھا۰ اُس واقعے کے بعد بلوچستان میں بڑے پیمانے پر شورش برپا ہوئی۰ بلوچ اپنی خواتین کے لاپتہ ہونے پر خاموش نہیں رہیں گے۔
بلوچ نوجوانوں کو غائب کرنا اور بعد میں انکی مسخ شدہ لاشیں پھینکنے کے عمل نے بلوچستان میں جاری شورش کو ڈرامائی طور پر بدل دیا اب تصور کرنا بھی مشکل ہے کہ ایک ایسے معاشرے میں جہاں لوگ اپنی ثقافت اور روایات کو لیکر جان دیتے ہیں وہاں عورت کو غائب کرنا آگ کے ساتھ کھیلنے کا مترادف ہے۰
واضح رہے کہ بلوچ خواتین کو غائب کرنا جیسے ہتھکنڈوں سے بلوچستان میں کبھی بھی امن نہیں آہ سکتا۔ ہاں ہوسکتا ہے کہ کچھ وقت کے لیے سڑکوں پر گولی چلنے کی آواز نہ آئے، اور خودکش حملے نہ ہوں، لیکن اس کا مطلب یہ ہرگز نہیں کہ بلوچ شورش ختم ہوسکتے گا۔ یہ زیادہ مہلک اور خطرناک ہوکر ابھرے گی

Spoke to Hayat Baloch, #ShariBaloch's father, via a local journalist in Kech. Here is a thread.

“My daughter was a very cheerful and kind woman. The family is still in shock. It was and is beyond our comprehension that Shari could take anyone’s life.
None of us were aware of her affiliation with #BLA. She was a happy girl, and we don’t know what forced her to do this. Neither she had any suicidal tendencies nor radical thoughts. There is a lot of propaganda about her in the Pakistani press.
Reports of her having mental problems or having differences with my family are untrue and baseless. Last we met was around three weeks ago in Karachi. Days before she committed this act, she had spoken to her siblings but didn’t mention anything like this. She looked happy.
