Balochistan insurgency
The Balochistan insurgency refers to a series of conflicts in Pakistan's Balochistan province, primarily involving Baloch nationalist groups seeking greater autonomy or independence. Rooted in historical grievances over resource exploitation and perceived neglect by the central government, these groups accuse Islamabad of marginalizing the Baloch people. The conflict has led to violence, human rights abuses, and significant military responses. While some Baloch factions advocate for peaceful negotiations, others resort to armed struggle. The situation is complex, with underlying issues of ethnicity, resource distribution, and national identity contributing to the ongoing tensions in the region.
