Publication from 1904: The Baloch Race. A Historical and Ethnological Sketch, by M. Longworth Dames, London, 1904

This document contains the pictures of Baloch missing activists, Baloch Jailed activists who have been Jailed for crimes they did not commit, their biggest crime is that they are Baloch.

We have also included the pictures of those Baloch victims of torture who have been imprisoned, tortured and later release without charges. Many of these Baloch are now either very traumatized or they are not even able to do anything.

We are publishing this document to exposed Pakistan's crimes against humanity. We want the International Community to take notice of such inhuman crimes of the Pakistan and its Punjabi army. Baloch are also human and they too deserve freedom.

We would like to request the Baloch Nation, political and student parties to help us collect more information regarding Human Rights violation in Balochistan.

Thanks BalochWarna Team

This document contains the pictures of Baloch Martyrs who have sacrificed their lives while defending their homeland against foreign occupiers. This is however, not a complete list of Baloch martyrs. Hundreds of thousand of Baloch have been martyred by both Iran and Pakistan.

We have so far been able to collect a few pictures of Baloch heroes.

We are still collecting information regarding Baloch martyrs and we appeal to Baloch Nation, Baloch student and political parties to help us collect pictures, information and other necessary details of Baloch martyrs.

Thanks BalochWarna Team

A small document about the ongoing pak-Iran joint military operation in Thump, Kullbar Vally and surrounding areas.

Baluch nationalism is a reality that Islamabad cannot pretend to ignore forever or co-opt by making promises of development that are rarely kept. For the moment, with little certainty about the conclusion of an agreement between the central government and the nationalist leaders,44 the province is likely to enter a new phase of violence with long-term consequences that are diffi cult to predict. This conflict could be used in Pakistan and elsewhere as a weapon against the Pakistan
government. Such a prospect would affect not only Pakistan but possibly all its neighbors. It is ultimately Islamabad that must decide whether Baluchistan will become its Achilles� heel.

Special Report, Center for International Policy

April, 2009 – Pakistan is viewed in U.S. foreign policy debates almost entirely in terms of the terrorist threat posed by the growing Islamist forces there to the international community, to Afghanistan, and to the stability of the Pakistani state. This single-minded focus ignores a broader and more fundamental issue that cuts across the struggle between Islamist and secular forces: whether the multi-ethnic Pakistan federation, torn by growing tensions between a dominant Punjabi majority and increasingly disaffected Baluch, Sindhi and Pashtun ethnic minorities, can survive in its present form without basic political and economic reforms.

Book Description

Pakistan has emerged as a strategic ally of the United States in the "war on terror." It is the third largest recipient of U.S. aid in the world. But how stable is Pakistan? Ayesha Siddiqa shows how the military has gradually gained control of Pakistan's political, social, and economic resources. T his power has transformed Pakistani society, where the armed forces have become an independent class.

The military is entrenched in the corporate sector and controls the country's largest companies and large tracts of real estate. So Pakistan's companies and its main assets are in the hands of a tiny minority of senior army officials. Siddiqa examines this military economy and the consequences of merging the military and corporate sectors. Does democracy have a future in the new Pakistan? Will the generals ever withdraw to the barracks. Military Inc. analyzes the internal and external dynamics of this gradual power-building and the impact that it is having on Pakistan's political and economic development.

Introduction

This book examines counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan following the overthrow of the Taliban regime in 2001. It is based on repeated trips to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. It focuses on the early stages of the insurgency—from 2002 until 2008—and examines why and how the insurgency began. It also draws lessons from the broader literature on counterinsurgency warfare and provides recommendations to help the United States develop capabilities and improve performance in future counterinsurgency operations. The focus of this research is on the U.S. military. However, since the actions of other U.S. government agencies, countries, international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are obviously important, they are discussed where appropriate. The results should be of interest to a broad audience of policymakers and academics concerned with counterinsurgency and the related issues of state-building, nation-building, and stability operations. This research was sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and conducted within the International Security and Defense Policy Center of the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Department of the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community.
