In Pakistan, Baloch separatists and security forces clashed during military operations in Balochistan province. Meanwhile, Baloch and Pashtun ethnic groups staged demonstrations across the country last week, accusing the government of enforced disappearances and violence against minorities. In India, Naxal-Maoist rebels targeted security forces and construction workers in the Red Corridor. Notably, demonstrations increased in India as farmers and political parties organized demonstrations against the central government’s economic and agricultural policies. In Afghanistan,1 ACLED is currently conducting a review of sourcing and reporting of the conflict in Afghanistan from 2020. fighting between Afghan forces and the Taliban continued in at least 30 of the country’s 34 provinces. The Taliban ramped up its territorial gains despite extensive Afghan force operations and airstrikes. Last week, the Taliban captured over 10 districts across seven provinces, pointing to the wide reach of the group. Afghan lawmakers have criticized the military’s strategy, as Afghan forces state that they made “tactical retreats” to avoid civilian and military losses (TOLO News, 8 June 2021). In Faryab, Nuristan and Daykundi provinces, many soldiers surrendered to the Taliban during clashes, while in Kunduz and Badghis province, dozens of Afghan security forces defected to the Taliban. The group also used suicide bombers to attack Afghan forces in Balkh and near Pul-e Khumri city in Baghlan province, ramming an explosive-laden vehicle into a military base.

  • Repression and Revolt in Balochistan the Uncertainty and Survival of a People’S National Aspirations
    FEATURE Repression and Revolt in Balochistan The Uncertainty and Survival of a People’s National Aspirations ZEUS HANS MENDEZ ife with historical tensions, the region of Balochistan has erupted into insurrections against the Pakistani state since 1948. Convinced of being historically wronged, the Baloch view their fight as one against repression Rand for self- determination. Though residing in the same region, the ethnic iden- tity of the Baloch has remained in sharp contrast to the ultranationalism that defines the Pakistani state. Therefore, the Pakistani security forces, who see many of the Baloch nationalist groups as terrorists, have crushed any opposition or de- mand for reform. This, in addition to a deteriorating human rights scenario has further cemented Baloch opposition against Pakistan. Across the border in Iran, the Baloch face a similar fate, with extreme deprivation and marginalization by the Iranian theocracy. While undoubtedly possessing unique identities and aspi- rations, repression and ignorance on both sides of the border have resulted in a common desire for liberation. However, the fact that an international border separates two distinctive Baloch communities, one motivated by secular aspira- tions and the other by Sunni Islam, any progress toward a unified front is hin- dered. Drawing on such dynamics, this article will seek to highlight the fact that even though the fight for Balochistan is one of international significance, most observers have ignored the situation, leaving the Baloch in a drawn- out insur- gency with no support and an increased feeling of uncertainty. In this context, many have termed the Baloch freedom movement as dying or dead.
