While Pakistan’s economy continues to audition for a bailout reality show, its western province Balochistan just dropped a geopolitical bombshell.Baloch leader Mir Yar Balochhas declared thatBalochistan is not part of Pakistan, and requestedIndia to recognize it formally by opening an embassyin New Delhi.
You know it’s serious when rebels start asking fordiplomatic missions before a cricket team.
🛑 So, why is #Balochistan trending?
In a fiery video, Mir Yar Baloch accused the Pakistani state of:
- Decades ofmilitary bombings
- Enforced disappearances
- Kill-and-dump tactics
- And systemicethnic cleansingof the Baloch population
This followsyears of repression, including the recent assassination of Baloch racing champTariq Baloch, allegedly killed in a state-backed operation. It’s like Formula 1, but with zero laps and lots of landmines.
Social media has erupted with hashtags like:
- #RepublicOfBalochistan
- #FreeBalochistan
- #BoycottPakArmy
And unlike Pakistan’s economy, these trends arenot declining anytime soon.
🕊️ What exactly is Balochistan?
For those who last paid attention
in geography class during the Windows XP era:
- Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province by area
- Rich inminerals, gas, copper, and coastline
- Home toGawadar Port, part of China’s ambitious CPEC project
The problem? The Baloch population feelsexploited, marginalized, and militarized, with development happening for outsiders while locals remain stuck in infrastructural poverty.
It’s like watching someone renovate your house while locking you in the basement.
🔥 What is Operation Herof 2.0?
While you were busy watching IPL, theBaloch Liberation Army (BLA)launchedOperation Herof 2.0— a 71-attack blitz on military outposts across Balochistan.
Yup. 71.
No Netflix series is dropping 71 episodes in one season, but the BLA just did.
The attacks targeted:
- Army camps
- Checkposts
- Critical infrastructure
Pakistan’s media? Trying very hard not to cover it.
