Balochistan conflict

The Balochistan conflict is a longstanding struggle in Pakistan's largest province, Balochistan, involving local nationalist groups seeking greater autonomy and control over the region’s resources. Balochistan is rich in natural resources but the local population feels marginalized and exploited by the central government. Armed insurgencies, military operations, and human rights concerns characterize the conflict, which has led to significant violence and displacement. The situation is complicated by ethnic tensions, economic disparities, and geopolitical interests, making it a challenging issue for stability and development in the region.
