The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has launched two targeted operations in Turbat and Kalat, killing collaborators of the Pakistan Army and intelligence agencies. These actions are part of its ongoing struggle against the oppression and exploitation of the Baloch people by Paki establishment.
The BLA spokesperson, Jeeyand Baloch, stated that on December 19, BLA fighters killed Kamran, son of Umar, in Turbat’s Meri area. Kamran, a known collaborator of the Pak military, was forming and leading an armed group under the patronage of the military. The group was reportedly involved in raids on homes, enforced disappearances, and widespread terror in the region.
The spokesperson criticized the Pak Army for using local collaborators like Kamran to further its oppressive policies in POB. “Kamran’s group supported the occupying forces in blockades and military aggression, while benefiting from immunity granted by the military to engage in drug trafficking, extortion, and other crimes,” Jeeyand Baloch said.
In a separate incident on November 30, BLA fighters in Kalat targeted and killed Hidayatullah, alias “Jari Booti,” identified as an informer for Pakistan’s Military Intelligence (MI). The BLA said that Hidayatullah was facilitating enforced disappearances, recruiting locals for the military, and aiding in raids on civilian homes.
BLA’s Actions
“Hidayatullah was deeply involved in anti-Baloch activities, working as a tool for the occupying forces,” the spokesperson said. The BLA declared that such individuals, who assist Pakistan’s military in its systematic exploitation and oppression of Balochistan, will face similar consequences.
The BLA also highlighted the Pak military’s strategy of using local collaborators to sow fear and destabilize Baloch society while shielding itself from direct accountability. These collaborators serve as pawns in a broader campaign to suppress Balochistan’s legitimate aspirations for autonomy and self-determination.
The spokesperson emphasized that the Baloch Liberation Army remains committed to defending the rights and dignity of the Baloch people, asserting that its resistance is a response to decades of exploitation, enforced disappearances, and military aggression by Pakistan.
Paki establishment’s policies in Balochistan along with the military’s actions have fostered resentment and fueled resistance movements like the BLA. The systematic targeting of civilians, the use of collaborators, and the suppression of dissent are often cited as evidence of Pakistan’s failure to address the legitimate grievances of the Baloch people. The BLA’s recent actions reflect the enduring resistance against the Pakistan’s exploitative and oppressive policies in Balochistan.
