On the 63rd anniversary of Baluchistan's declaration of independence, Hayrbyar Marri, a prominent leader of the Baluch cause, speaks in an exclusive interview about one of the world's most forgotten conflicts. "There is only one point to negotiate with Pakistan—insists Marri—and that's the unconditional withdrawal of all occupation forces."

Mr. Marri's manner is slow and reserved and he stares directly into the eyes of his interviewer. One may feel somewhat uncomfortable initially, but soon realizes that his attitude is not defiant, rather it reflects the style of traditional Baluch leadership. In fact, we've seen him smile before the interview when he told us about his recent fatherhood, and again when he expressed regret over not having brought a certain copy of the New York Times along—the very one that announced Baluchistan's declaration of independence 63 years ago today.

Since illegal occupation at the hands of imperial powers and their colonies Baluchistan and Baluch Nation have lived under oppression and repression for 63 years. Unfortunately, Baluchistan since losing her sovereignty has remained under the yoke of Punjabi and Gajar slavery due to Baluch leaderships and political parties’ disunity. Pakistan, which is armed with nuclear weapons and Iranian regime that is feverishly pursuing nuclear weapons brazenly want the Baluch peoples’ annihilation. States’ agencies and their agents are brutally abducting Baluch activist and killing them in cold-blood. Hundreds of thousands of Baluch men, women and children have been killed and thousands have been abducted.

Cold-blooded murder of Baluch youth at the hand of Pakistan's Intelligence Agencies is continuation of genocide of the Baluch people. Baluch Nation has to unite and show their strength instead of making appeal to International Community.

The occupying force are repeating the brutal history of Chile and Argentine's “Dirty War” against their political opponents and oppressed people of Baluchistan. In the 60s and 70s the Chilean and Argentinian military and Para-military [police] forces' “death squads” have extra judicially disappeared and brutally murdered thousands of people who were asking for their rights.
