‘Harbiyar Marri to be tried for murder of Justice Nawaz Marri’



Earlier its mentioned that Baloch youth concit deciede to move ICJ against Harbyiyar mari. Now they also decide to file a case of the murder of Justice Mohammad Nawaz Marri.





London - Declaring to file a case of the murder of Justice Mohammad Nawaz Marri against Harbiyar Marri, the Baloch Youth Council London said a senior Indian diplomat had recently organised a meeting between Harbiyar Marri and Barahamdagh Bugti to remove their misunderstanding.

Addressing a meeting of the Central Council of Baloch Youth, Chairman Waja Mir Hazar Khan Baloch said during the meeting, Barahmdagh Bugti alleged that the person behind taking his grand father late Nawab Akbar Bugti to the cave was Balach Marri, brother of Harbiyar Marri. He said the cave came down due to a blast by remote control and Balach Marri was standing just outside the cave art the time.

Baloch said an officer of Indian intelligence agency RAW was also present in the meeting between the two rebel leaders.

He said the Indian diplomat and intelligence officers persuaded both Baloch leaders to reach an understanding for a bigger cause and according to their information, Harbiyar wanted full independence to form a government in exile to which Baramdagh did not agree, because he claimed that he was an international leader. Baloch added that no one paid attention to the two Baloch self-styled leaders, so why was the Pakistani media giving them undue coverage. He said they were RAW agents and were fighting the war for their survival at the cost of the Baloch nation. He said how could a person who thronged night clubs in London and spoke against Islam become their leader.

Baloch said Interior Minister Rehman Malik could not decide the destiny of the Baloch people.

Creating Job Opportunities in Balochistan


A column already mentioned about the failure of Provisional govt in maintianing law & order issue.


An editorial of Daily Balochistan express mentioning the failure of Provinsionl govt in providing jobs, and mentioning who the govt is wasting the money .



Six universities and hundreds of colleges all over Balochistan are producing tens of thousands of graduates and post graduates annually with the hope to get suitable job on merit. But the Government is yet to come to the right expectations of the job seekers in general. On the contrary, the Government had failed to announce the second phase of recruitment after recruiting 5000 school teachers a few years ago. The Federal Government pledged to provide tens of thousands of jobs to the jobless Baloch youth and it failed to fulfil the promise to this date. However, there are few vacancies announced by different Federal Government Department for Balochistan. similarly, the Provincial Government has also plan to recruit thousands of young men in the Balochistan Constabulary and Balochistan Levies to make up the shortfall in the law enforcing agencies.
Balochistan received huge funds under the NFC Award and all the money are going waste as it were placed at the disposal of Ministers and without planning. The money is being spent on building small gutters and nullahs or erecting gates in different localities of Quetta and there is no massive plan to exploit the available resources to boost the baloch economy in a big way. Similarly, the Government had not prepared a systematic plan to construct a decent infrastructure for future development. Again, the funds is being placed at the disposal of the Balochistan Development Authority which is again going waste as no Government Department is ready to take over the schemes completed by the BDA for the reasons that official specifrications are not strictly followed. Thus all the schemes BDA completed in the recent past had gone waste and the Ministers and officials should be held responsible and accountable for wasting national wealth.
There are very few sectors on which the indigenous population strictly depends for economic returns. They are Livestock, Agriculture, Fisheries, Forests, Mineral Wealth and Irrigation. It is an irony that these sectors are completely ignored by the Ministers and officials for obvious reasons that there are less chances to get kick backs and commission. Livestock is the backbnone of the Baloch rural economy and it had never received priority for the past six decades, particularly after the Government introduced yearly planning. More than 70 per cent rural population partially depend on the Livestock and particularly Dairy products for supplement to their food. In fact, for the past 25 years, Livestock Department had been reduced to a mere salary distributing Department to its employees. Same is the case with the Fisheries on the 1200 kilometers long coastline where a few million spent on salaries. All the development programmes are financed by the donors. However, the money allocated for building jetties and fish harbours had been embezzled massively and less than five per cent spent by the Ministers in the past. Fisheries got the potentials to meet the protein requirements of the entire nation and also earn a couple of billions of dollars from export by developing the Seafood industry. Agriculture has the potentials for massive development as Balochistan has 20 million acres of cultivable land which is highly fertile. By bringing the land under cultivation, Balochistan can become the food and fruit basket of the whole region, to say the least. At the same time, there are 50 major and medium size seasonal rivers carrying floos and rainwaters to the Arabian Sea or to the Hamuns in Kharan, Chagai and Pamjgur. The massive flood can be stored by building dams and water storage facilities in all the five ecological zone of Balochistan.
All these massive development projects will ensure job for every one making the Province prosperous and develop comparing with other provinces. The Government should stop wasting money or additional funds from NFC and use it for building the baloch economy on more solid grounds ensuring prosperity and progress in all the regions on Balochistan.

Baloch Youth Council to move ICJ against Herbyar Marri for bloodshed




London  - Chairman Baloch Youth Council, Mir Hazar Khan Baloch has announced that the Council would move the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Baloch separatist leader Herbyar Marri who is involved in the killing of innocent and poor Balochis and Punjabis.
In a statement issued here, he said that Baloch Sardars were fond of telling lies but they could not continue with it, adding, that the Sardars were rubbing salt into the wounds of Baloch people. Baloch said that Khair Bux Marri, father of Herbyar Marri, ended his self exile during Nawaz Sharif government and returned to Balochistan in a military aircraft.  He said Marri, upon his arrival purchased expensive vehicles and exploited Baloch nation. Mir Hazar Khan advised Herbyar Marri to bring change first in his own family as his elder brother was a leader of Muslim League and the other was a friend of PPP chief.  ‘How come they bring change as they all are usurpers’, he remarked.  He said that the Baloch nation was aware of Sardars character.  He said that Sardar Akhtar Mengal’s group Laskhar-e-Balochistan was involved in killing of innocent people in Khuzdar district and looting of buses on national highway.

People of Balochistan want freedom from Sardars: Muhabbat Khan Mari



As a US lawmaker tabled bill in the House of Representatives, espousing self-determination for Balochistan, Pakistani media has been airing string of programmes and holding debates on the issue with several Baloch leaders sharing their views on how to redress the miseries of people of Pakistan’s southwestern province.

In an interview with a local Urdu daily published here on Tuesday, senior Baloch leader and provincial minister Muhabbat Khan Mari has said that Baloch separatist leaders were responsible for all the problems facing the people of Balochistan. He says it seems absolutely ridiculous when Baloch Sardars like Attaulluh Mengal, Akhtar Mengal, Nawab Khair Bux Mari, Barhamdagh Bugti and Herbyar Mari speak about rights of Balochis as they were who exploited the nation.

He said had there been people support for Herbyar Mari, there would have been his influence in at least three Tehseels of the province.

Muhabbat Mari claims only five percent of people have been supporting the separatists.
He says every Baloch child is ready to shed his last drop of blood for Pakistan.

When asked to elaborate situation in Kohlu district, deemed as stronghold of separatists, he said on the one side there were 180 million people of Pakistan while on the other hand only handful of terrorists and still the government of Pakistan seemed to be failed in controlling the miscreants.  “Seeking separation is not new for this Sardars,” he said and added Khair Bux Mari lived in Russia for 20 years while his son Herbyar Mari had also been living in Europe. “They have no influence in Kohlu district despite they offered Rs10, 000 to jobless youth to join them,” he said. Mr Mari added that he knew financial status of Mari separatist Sardars and they could not purchase weapons. “Now they are having weapons and living in expensive cities like London.How come deprived Balochs live such a luxurious lives”.

He said Herbayar Mari had spent time in a London jail and was released after Rehman Malik’s efforts.
When asked to comment on excesses with Baloch, Mr Mari said it was beyond any doubt that excesses were committed not other than Baloch Sardars who ruled the province as governors and chife ministers. “I ask them what measures they took for providing basic amenities, education and employment to Baloch people,”. He said Sardars were responsible for injustices as they tried to make Balochis their salves.

He recalls the past and says Nawab Mehrullah Mari, father of famous Baloch leader Khair Bux Mari, didn’t allow British government to open a primary school in his area some 95 years ago. He said the Sardars wanted to keep people away from education.

Answering a question whether Baloch separatists could achieve their goal through US intervention he said: “Even father of this terrorist will not be able to achieve this goal”. We will free people of Balochistan form the shackles of this Sardars and our children would scarify for the integrity of Pakistan.
He also denied that any military operation was going on in the province. Mari said India was funneling arms and money to terrorists in Dera Murad Jamali, Sibbi, Kohlu and Makran   through Afghanistan.

Sibi Mela 2011




Sibi Mela, which is also known as ‘Jashn-e-Sibi’, was held at Sibi in Balochistan recently under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner, Sibi Division, Naseer Ahmad Nasir. Sibi is the second largest and historical city of Balochistan; similarly Sibi Mela also has historical background. It is not only a festival for the entertainment or celebration of new season (arrival of spring) but it also generates economic activity i.e. sale and purchase of valuable livestock.

In fact, this event generates an economic activity of approximately Rs 200 million each year. Moreover, Sibi Mela consists of agricultural and industrial exhibition, programmes of Children Academy, Balochistan, circus, fireworks, Horse and Cattle Show, musical nights, movies on mobile cinemas and cultural performances.


Akhter Mengal’s conditions for talks with Government




The BNP President, Sardar Akhtar Jan Mengal, has demanded immediate withdrawal of combat troops from Balochistan, an end to the custodial killing of political opponents and release of all missing persons in custody of the Government functionaries, police or other security agencies. Only after this, he and his party colleagues will consider holding talks with the Government normalizing situation in Balochistan.

 It is natural that no Baloch nationalist will hold talks under the prevailing conditions, particularly when the detained people are killed in custody. There should be an improvement in the situation and a better and congenial atmosphere should be created for talks finding solutions to the Baloch conflict. We have been saying the same for the past many years and suggested to the Government to create a proper political climate in Balochistan for holding meaningful talks or restoring normalcy. Besides Government functionaries, officers from the defence forces, no political leader worth the name is supporting the policies of the Government in Balochistan. Even the President of Pakistan offered no comments on Balochistan situation!

 The allies of the Government had condemned the target killing by the functionaries and custodial killing of political opponents. In a way, the Government and the entire state apparatus is completely isolated on this issue and being criticized from all corners, including the allies of the coalition Governments at the Centre and in the Province of Balochistan. The Senate Functional Committee had gone a step further asking the Government to stop treating Baloch political opponents as enemies of Pakistan. In such a case, they will definitely look towards other countries for help, the Committee argued. Thus the demands from the BNP President are just and legitimate and without fulfilling those conditions, it is nearly impossible that any one will come forward and hold talks with the Government or attend the All Parties Conference proposed by the Prime Minister.

We hope that the Prime Minister will announce certain measures before holding the APC or inviting the stake holders from Balochistan to sort out political and constitutional issues of Balochistan. The Baloch conflict has nothing to do with the so-called sense of deprivation, a term hated and deeply resented by the Baloch nationalists. Backwardness is rampant in Balochistan for more than two thousands years. It is not new or discovery by the Pakistani rulers. They are rightly demanding their political and constitutional rights for which they are protesting against the hostile policies of the Federal Government.
