Baloch Liberation Army (BLA)

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) is a militant organization based in the Balochistan region, primarily seeking independence or greater autonomy for Baloch people from Pakistan. It advocates for Baloch nationalist goals through armed resistance, including attacks on military and government targets. The BLA is designated as a terrorist organization by Pakistan, while some other countries and groups consider it a guerrilla movement fighting for Baloch rights. Its activities highlight ongoing tensions over regional control, resource management, and ethnic identity in southwestern Pakistan and neighboring areas.
