    Baloch Martyrs Day: Free Balochistan Movement held references in Balochistan and abroad
    Wednesday, November 15th, 2017


    Afghanistan

    BW News Report: The pro-freedom Baloch political party Free Balochistan Movement has held Baloch Martyrs Day events in several regions of Balochistan and many cities of the world on Monday to pay tributes to the fallen heroes of Balochistan’s freedom struggle.

    According to details, activists of the Free Balochistan Movement conducted wall chalking in different cities of Balochistan including the capital city Quetta, Turbat, Pasni, Jiwani and other areas to pay homage to Baloch martyrs and demanded from Pakistani forces to withdraw from Balochistan.

    The FBM activists also held memorial gathering and references in Karachi and Quetta on 13 November to praise the sacrifices of Baloch Martyrs and to assure their families that the mission of their loved ones will be carried on and fulfilled.

    Apart from Balochistan, FBM activists also held Baloch Martyrs Day programs in Afghanistan, Germany, Sweden, Canada and Netherlands. The Baloch and other human rights activists strongly condemn Pakistani state atrocities against Baloch people and vowed to continue their peaceful and democratic struggle till the liberation of Balochistan.

    In Afghanistan, the Baloch Unity Council of Afghanistan and Free Balochistan Movement organised a joint program to pay tributes to Baloch Martyrs. The speakers said that Pakistan was carrying out indiscriminate attacks against innocent Baloch people.

    They also said that Pakistani forces have arrested and disappeared thousands of innocent Baloch including women, children and elderly.

    In Netherland’s Hague city FBM activists organised a brief play in front of the International Court of Justice in which an activist wore an outfit painted with blood colour and held a placard that read “Shhhh be silence International Court is Sleeping.” The play attracted the attention of many passersby who stopped to take pictures and inquire about Balochistan.

    In Sweden also, activists of Free Balochistan Movement organised a candlelight vigil and exhibit the pictures of Baloch martyrs killed by Pakistan during indiscriminate military attacks and as part of the ongoing kill and dump policy in Balochistan.

    In Canada’s Vancouver city FBM activist Waja Aziz Baloch and other members of Baloch Community of British Columbia organised a memorial gathering to pay respects to the martyrs of Balochistan. Ayesha Baloch, Khoda Bakhsh Baloch and Aziz Baloch addressed the participants and spoke extensively about Pakistani state atrocities in Balochistan.

    The speakers said that Pakistan was violating all international laws and UN conventions in Balochistan but still there was no action from either the UN or rest of the international community.

    In Germany, the Free Balochistan Movement workers held a program in Dortmund city whereas the speakers included Rohail Marri son of late Balach Marri, Claudia Heidelberg, Christine an activist of Amnesty International, Sindhi nationalist Salim Sanai, Nobat Marri, Sameer Baloch, Beebgar Baloch, Fateh Baloch, Mahgonag Baloch and Azum Noor Baloch.

    Rohail Marri said Pakistan was not only an enemy to Baloch nation, but it was an enemy for the whole world because Pakistan is bringing barbarity throughout the whole region and more so globally.

    He said, “whether the international community recognises it or not a scandalous ethnic cleansing is going on in Balochistan and innocent people are losing their lives as we speak.”

    Mr Azum Noor Baloch read out his poetry about Baloch martyrs whereas other speakers talked about Pakistani state brutalities in Balochistan and urged the international community to take notice of Pakistani crimes against the Baloch nation.

    Nobat Marri an activist of Free Balochistan Movement said, “Baloch martyrs sacrificed their present for our future. They sacrificed their lives so that we and our coming generations can live in peace and dignity in our free homeland.”

    He said that the best tribute to martyrs is to regain Balochistan’s independence because that is the “mission of our martyrs we must fulfil.”

    He said that it was the responsibility of those Baloch who are living abroad to inform and educate the world about the true history of Balochistan. “The world must know that we are a nation with our own unique culture, language and traditions.

    “We existed long before Pakistan and Iran came into being. We were an independent nation until the British carved out the fundamentalist Muslim Punjabi state from India and imposed it on us.”

    Talking about the silence of International Community Nobat Marri said, “The UN and other International Human Rights Organisations’ silence has encouraged Pakistan to get away with murder, disappearances and rape of millions of Bengali people. Hence, today Pakistan is repeating the same crimes against humanity in Balochistan.”

    The speakers also stressed on Baloch unity and said that Pakistan cannot break the will of the Baloch nation by killing innocent people.

    “The only component our current struggle lacks is unity and disciplined struggle. The day Baloch nations achieved Unity and discipline among their ranks, that will be the day of victory for the Baloch nation,” Nobat Marri added.

      What about all the innocent non-Baluch civilians who are murdered by BLA terrorists simply because they belong to a different ethnic group?

          What are the areas of concentration of Baluch in Afghanistan, except Nimruz. Some maps show the desert region of SOuth Helmand and Kandahar provinces as Baluchi speaking. Is that right??

            Yep. Even some Brahuis live in southern Kandahar. There are also around 100,000 Baloches that live in Turkmenistan that are descended from Baloches that migrated there in the early 1900's.

              Yes, i know about them, as far as i know they were cooperating with the new Soviet Union and then got stuck there in Mary and Bayramali.
              Among them are Brahuis as well, but as often Brahui tend to be assimilated among the Baluch




              Somhow i heard however that Baluch from Turkmenistan were from Chakhansur area and from Iranian Sistan. Maybe i was wrong

                Could you elaborate on the details, especially regarding the Soviet Union part? This is all new and interesting information for me.

                  What i can say isn't all proved and aren't 100% facts as some i hear just from other people , some i read on the web, so You shoud prove certain aspects before taking it as ultimate fact.


                  As far as I know droughts in the Sistan basin urged Baloch and Brahui to migrate to the north. Many started settling in nowadays Golestan region of Iran. During the first years of the Sovit union movements of urging for a unification of the Baloch appeared.

                  Baloch had problems with the states in the area that were mostly against such an idea (The Shah of Iran, Brits, Amir of Afghanistan).

                  During the first years of SU the soviets were fightingi n Central Asia with the so-called Basmachis (mixed groups,partly not united, consistingof islamists,panturkists, nationalists, monarchists, russian white officers.....). Many Basmachis used border region to disappear and reappear.
                  This kind of civil war was horrible for the populations,that didn't at point know whom to trust because both sides were equally cruel while coming on searching one for the other.

                  As far as i heard some Baluch groups had a kind of deal , they helped to fight the Basmachis on the Turkmenistan-Iran border regions, and hoped for help from the SU for the Baluchistan cause (i think specially against the Shah, that had campaigns against the Baluch).

                  But Afghanistan was the first country to recognize the new SU and after creating new relations,the Amir of Afghnistan, who knew about this agreement apparently asked in change of any favours from his side to stop supporting the Baluch cause,that he was seeing as a threat to his SW border regions.Further soon the SU leadership changed and the supporters of early communists have fallen all into dislike by the new leadership. Baluch so faced problems. On the other hand some very active fighters were worried about the happenings in their homelands and returned to thir areas (after what fewis known about them. Among them was one of their leaders, i think his name was Karim Baluch or so).

                  Others preferred to stay, and after a period of time borders got completely closed, so hey had no other choice.

                  They became soviet citizens, settled in the region of the Mary oasis (Mary, Bayramali..), an area with mixed population of other minorities who settled for various reasons in that region (with minorities i mean not Turkmen, who are the majority).

                  Those Baluch and Brahuis lived an isolated life, as usually Soviet society was, people with traditional views didn't mix that much and didn't mingle so much with others.
                  Baluch were mostly simple landworkers in the pastures, keeping animals, doing agricultural jobs. And where a rather humble population. After partition , with the crazy reforms of Niyazov, it got harder for them to live there. Like for most not Turkmens, but still many stay there, because of lack of any other possibilities and because it is their new motherland.

                  That is as far as i know. But i may have heard wrong things. There is a book on the Baluch dialect of Turkmenistan, that i can check, maybe it provides better data in the introduction (i once posted it here i think).


                  But as i told, don't judge errors in my text, rather if You are interested deepen your knowledge and maybe share things that are wrong.
