Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA)

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) is a separatist militant group based in the Balochistan region of Pakistan. Founded in 2000, its goal is to gain independence for Balochistan from Pakistan, which the BLA believes exploits the region’s natural resources and neglects its people. The group has been involved in armed conflict, targeting military and government installations, and has claimed responsibility for various violent acts. The BLA is considered a terrorist organization by the Pakistani government and has also received international scrutiny for its actions and human rights implications in the region.
