- All the Baloch
areas in Balochistan are center of Pakistani military
operations
but the case with Marri and Bugti tribes is worst of all.
These raids and
operations against them are not only contained in Dera Bugti
and Kohlu but also
in other areas where families belonging to these tribes
abode. In such a
situation New Kahan, an area adjacent to Quetta where
families of Marri Baloch
are settled, has been the focal point. And now, Marri
tribe’s settlements in
Sibi and Windar have also come under ruthless attacks of
Pakistani military and
its intelligence agencies. It was witnessed last day when
Pakistani forces
besieged Marri settlements in Sibi and Winder and conducted
a massive military
operation. Several people were abducted and shifted to
unknown places. They
entered houses by breaking the doors and windows, treading
on honors and beating
up the children and elderly women and men. According to the
victims’ families,
the persons abducted by Pakistani forces, including several
children and women,
are still missing with no knowledge of their whereabouts.
They term such savage
actions of Pakistani forces unreasonable and revengeful. The
analysts say that
Marri Baloch are being punished due to the soft corner that
they hold for Baloch
struggle. Baloch civil society has been infuriated by such
ruthless acts, and
considers operations in Sibi and Windar as part of
Islamabad’s plan of Baloch
Genocide. According to Baloch intelligentsia, Pakistan wants
to suppress Baloch
national struggle with such ruthless and savage acts but
these are doomed to
failure. Such actions would result in increasing hatred and
anger against the
forces and would fuel more tension and worsen the crisis.
