Sistan and Baluchistan

Sistan and Baluchistan is a large, largely desert region in southeastern Iran, bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is known for its ethnic diversity, mainly inhabited by Baluch people who speak Baluchi and practice a mix of traditional and religious lifestyles. The area is underdeveloped, with a harsh climate and limited infrastructure, leading to economic challenges. Despite its rich cultural history, it faces issues such as poverty, insurgency, and political marginalization. The region's strategic location makes it significant for regional trade and geopolitics, but its residents often experience underrepresentation and economic hardship.
