- Iran is feeling the heat of possible
repercussion of its misdeeds on Baloch nation. Only within last
week, Iran has taken a lot of preventative measures to contain
Baloch from possible insurgency. The reasons are obvious: The first
thing that comes in our mind while thinking about these new measures
is that Iran has done a lot of troubles to Middle Eastern nations,
particularly to GCC countries. Supposedly, these Middle Eastern
countries can use Baloch nation’s anger against it. Persian regimes
and rulers have hardly left a chance for Baloch People in the known
history to utilize their cultural and natural resources to develop
themselves.
Rather, it has ruthlessly persecuted Baloch nation in the name of
Ashrar, smugglers,atheists and traitors, whenever Baloch wanted to
assert itself as a cultural nation on its Homeland!
To detract the world attention towards its internal contradictions
of different
nationalities, Iran has spread its tentacles of religious terrorism
around the
Middle Eastern peaceful Arab countries without any reason.
Particularly the peaceful GCC countries are its prime targets. On
Thursday last week Iranian president, Ahmadi Nejad during

- his visit to Zahidan, the Capitol of
Western Balochistan, has accused the Middle Eastern nations and
Western Powers of being ignorance and arrogance. During meeting with
some of provincial officials in its occupied southeastern
Balochistan he said that “the enemies of the Islamic Iran want to
change Seistan and Balochistan Province into an insecure place.
People of this province played a key role in protecting Iran’s
identity, independence, dignity and territorial integrity”.
Prior to Nejadi’s statement, Iranian ambassador to Pakistan,
Mashalla Shakeri has told Pakistani press that Iran was willing to
share Copper and Gold Refinery technology with the Pakistani
Occupied Balochistan and it also offered a 1000 megawatt electricity
line to Balochistan to overcome its shortfall. According toShakari
Iran would help Baloch people to develop themselves.

- But contrary to above mentioned
wooing efforts of appeasing the disgruntled Baloch, Iran has now
started building a concrete fence along the arbitrary border Between
Iran and Pakistan, from Taftan to Mand which is more than 700 miles.
This arbitrary border divides Baloch homeland. The excuse is that it
wants to stop the movement of so called terrorists from Pakistani
occupied Balochistan into Iranian controlled Balochistan. This
concrete fence is 10 feet high and 3 feet thick. It is worth
mentioning here that a few weeks ago it was reported that Iran was
vigorously establishing military cantonments and garrisons across
Balochistan. Iranian defense minister Brig Gen Ahmad Wahidi has said
that “the fence is to prevent villains from crossing into the
Islamic republic”. Baloch economy is entirely dependent on Border
trades on both sides of the Occupied Balochistan. If Iran succeeded
in Building this fence and Baloch’s only source of income was
straggled, than the world has to prepare itself for another hunger
stricken Africa in the form of Balochistan.
Thousand of political and non political Baloch people have been
arrested without any reasons. A large number of them have been
hanged in public, and more of them are waiting to be hanged! What
harm Baloch has done to Persian people? No one can explain it!
Hafeez Hassanabadi, the renowned Baloch Writer, has rightly
questioned that “what is the relationship between Iran and Baloch
nation? One has to explain it! Now coming to the relationship
between the Arab and Baloch people, as a neighboring nation, Baloch
have tremendously contributed to the peace of almost all countries
in GCC except Saudi Arabia. Without the presence of Baloch manpower
in security forces
in the Gulf countries, current prosperity would not have been
achieved, given the 60s, 70s and 80s political structure of the GCC
countries. British Empire heavily relied on Baloch to man the
security forces from ancient Baloch communities living in Gulf
countries as a neutral force.

- What Iran and Pakistan are doing
against Baloch nation is understandable, but why our Arab brothers
have become the silent spectator of blatant massacre of Baloch
people by the hands of Iran and Pakistan is far beyond our
comprehension. The GCC countries intellectual and human rights
campaigners never say a single word against
the blatant violation of human rights and genocide of Baloch nation
at the hand of theocratic regime of Iran and the Security State of
Pakistan, let alone their rulers. Instead, they are showering
Pakistan with their free oil. However, this apathy of their natural
allies did not deter Baloch nation from struggling for the freedom
of their homeland. Fighting in solitude, Baloch are paying a heavy
price for the freedom of their homeland in terms of human live.
The enemies of Baloch, both Pakistan and Iran, are collaborating
with each other on security issues, sharing information and carrying
out joint operation against Baloch freedom fighters, the Sarmachars,
on daily bases. Pakistan transferred centrifuges to Iran using
Baloch air, land and sea. And Baloch political forces time and again
informed the world community that Iran and Pakistan are engaged in a
sinister kind of Business. But no one listened to it. Pakistan’s
interior minister Rahman Malik is highly active in coordinating in
between Iranian and Pakistani security forces to crush Baloch
insurgency on both sides. He constantly shuttles between Tehran and
Islamabad!
Now the stark question is that, why, despite knowing the fact that
Iran has an
antagonistic history with GCC countries, Pakistan proliferated
nuclear technology to Iran? The predicament of Baloch nation
is that the majority of Diaspora Baloch living in the Gulf countries
are unable to voice their anger against Iranian and Pakistani
atrocities because of the host countries’ political system. They are
extremely respectful of Arab hospitality, even under immense
pressure they refrain from voicing their anger against Iranian and
Pakistani atrocities.

- This large number of Baloch People
living in gulf countries are sufficient to turn the earth against
their persecutors and draw the attention of world community towards
the plight of their nation persecuted by Iran and Pakistan on daily
Bases.If the volatility of Middle Eastern nations had any positive
impact on any nation
other than the Arabs in the region that would be none other than the
Baloch! In the neighborhood of GCC countries, Balochistan, occupied
by both Iran and Pakistan, increasingly getting highly volatile.
Baloch nation is already engaged in guerilla warfare with both Iran
and Pakistan. However, they are not getting Arab media and
public attention as much as they deserve to. Last word! To get
rid of Iranian religious extremism and reducing it to only to Qum,
and to allow the peace and prosperity to flourish in the region,
Baloch is a determining factor to deter Iranian extremism and
terrorism in Middle East. It is high time for Middle Eastern media
to allow a space for Baloch journalists to voice their anger against
Iranian and Pakistani atrocities. Arab intellectual’s
Interaction with pro freedom Baloch intellectuals and writers would
bring in a better understanding of Baloch national question.
