Balochistan Liberation Front

The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) is a separatist organization advocating for the independence of Balochistan, a region spanning parts of Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. It seeks self-determination for the Baloch people, often using armed resistance against the Pakistani government to address issues like political autonomy, economic neglect, and cultural rights. The BLF considers itself a liberation movement, but its activities have sometimes led to violence and instability in the region. The group’s goals and methods are controversial, with different perspectives on their role in regional politics and security.
