The Resurgence of Baloch Nationalism
By: Frédéric Grare Carnegie Papers January 2006
Thirty years after a bloody conflict that official sources estimate caused
more than five thousand deaths among the rebels and almost three thousand
among the Pakistan Army, Baluchistan seems to be heading toward another
armed insurrection. During the summer of 2004, there were numerous attacks
against the army and the paramilitary forces as well as repeated sabotage
of oil pipelines. According to the Pakistani daily, The Nation,
approximately 1,568 “terrorist” attacks occurred through April 3, 2005.
These attacks have not been confined only to tribal areas but have
targeted Pakistani armed forces and Chinese nationals working on major
regional projects all over the province. |
