First Rapid Assessment Report Of Flood Affected Eastern Districts of Balochistan By: Balochistan Boy Scouts Association Emergency Response Unit Balochistan Boy Scouts Association: Provincial Headquarter Balochistan Boy Scouts Association Hali Road Quetta Ph: 081-9201477 Fax: 081-9201477 Email: [email protected] District Profile: Northern Balochistan – Barkhan The name Barkhan is derived from Baro Khan, the founder of the Barozai family of Pannis. The Pannis have historically either ruled this area or owned it. The livelihood of the people in this district is based on agriculture and livestock and the mineral deposits in the area are not explored. Wheat, fodder, vegetable, jawar, onion, garlic, and melon, as well as apples, almonds, plums, apricots, pomegranates and peaches are grown here. The district is devoid of any manufacturing units and big industries. However, smaller enterprises employing a small number of the population do exist. Barkhan is also the home of Sardar Anwar Jan Khetran, the chief of Khetran tribe, as well as being the hometown of Nasreen Abdul Rehman Khetran, the first lady to be elected to the Balochistan Assembly in the 2002 election on a general seat. Emergency Response Unit Balochistan Boy Scouts Association: Provincial Headquarter Balochistan Boy Scouts Association Hali Road Quetta Ph: 081-9201477 Fax: 081-9201477 Email: [email protected] District Profile: Eastern Balochistan – Sibi Known as the “hot spot” of Pakistan where temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius in summer, district Sibi has a mixed Baloch and Pashtun population and they are the main political entities here. Sibi has a distinguished place in the modern history of Baloch as it was the hometown of Mir Chakar Khan Rind, revered in Baloch history as a warrior hero. Marri, Domki, Khosa, Rind, Khajjak, Barozai and Jamote are the main tribes. JUIF, the PkMAP, the ANP and different Baloch nationalist groups have a strong presence here. No mainstream liberal political party has even won any of the two provincial assembly seats falling under this National Assembly constituency. Only in 2002 did a PMLQ-backed candidate, Bakhtiar Khan Domki, win the Balochistan Assembly seat. Constituency: NA 265: This constituency is spread over three Balochistan districts: Sibi, Kohlu and Dera Bugti. However, never has a non-Bugti won this seat. Though Kohlu district is a stronghold of the Marris and Sibi district of the Domkis, Rinds and Khosas, the tribes could never forge a strong alliance to challenge the monopoly of the Bugtis over this constituency. Emergency Response Unit Balochistan Boy Scouts Association: Provincial Headquarter Balochistan Boy Scouts Association Hali Road Quetta Ph: 081-9201477 Fax: 081-9201477 Email: [email protected] District Profile: Eastern Balochistan – Kohlu Though from time to time Marri, the main tribe of district Kohlu, has been participating in the political process, on the whole it has preferred bullet over ballot to claim what it calls the rights of the Baloch. Nationalist sentiments here grew strong, more so after the arrest of the Khan of Kalat in 1958. The arrest triggered a small-scale guerrilla war by the tribesman against the government. After the dismissal of the first elected government of Balochistan in1973, Kohlu saw a second Baloch uprising and the government’s announcement after the military coup in 1999 to build a cantonment in Kohlu and other parts of Balochistan gave birth to a third uprising in Balochistan with the Marris at the forefront yet again. Constituency: This constituency is spread over three Balochistan districts: Sibi, Kohlu and Dera Bugti. However, never has a non-Bugti won this seat. Though Kohlu district is a stronghold of the Marris and Sibi district of the Domkis, Rinds and Khosas, the tribes could never forge a strong alliance to challenge the monopoly of the Bugtis over this constituency. Emergency Response Unit Balochistan Boy Scouts Association: Provincial Headquarter Balochistan Boy Scouts Association Hali Road Quetta Ph: 081-9201477 Fax: 081-9201477 Email: [email protected] Current Situation: The torrential rains have caused severe damage to Barkhan, Sibi, Kohlu, Naseerabad and Jaffarabad districts, where vehicular traffic and train service remain suspended. Work is underway to repair the section of rail line that was damaged by the flash floods. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has started providing relief goods to the displaced people. However, local people said they had not received any aid. On Saturday, a man was killed when the roof of his house collapsed due to rains in Dera Murad Jamali. A four year-old girl and her six-year-old brother died due to water-borne diseases in Nari tehsil of Sibi.

Baloch people live a nomadic life through the history. The Clash with other tribes are people his blessed him with unity and strengthen within hemselves. That is why when Prof Abdullah Jan Jamaldini was asked about those wows and promises which were made by notable persons of his age, and even all of them tested through very harmful examination but they all proved to be men of words. He said, “this was the age of war and bravery. All the respectable Baloch were warier, all of them were generous to his guests, allmost all were poet and beloved Sumaries. Now it was not easy to prove himself superior then other one, so they made these wows and difficult promises to be more prominent figure is society” Introduction Baloch tribesmen are prone to make trifles of terrors.

QUETTA :BETWEEN FOUR REGIONS AND TWO WARS Haris Gazdar, Sobia Ahmad Kaker, Irfan Khan Collective for Social Science Research February 2010 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © H. Gazdar, S. Ahmad Kaker, I. Khan, 2010 24 Crisis States Working Paper Buffer Zone, Colonial Enclave or Urban Hub? Quetta: Between Four Regions and Two Wars Haris Gazdar, Sobia Ahmad Kaker and Irfan Khan Collective for Social Science Research, Karachi, Pakistan Quetta is a city with many identities. It is the provincial capital and the main urban centre of Balochistan, the largest but least populous of Pakistan’s four provinces. Since around 2003, Balochistan’s uneasy relationship with the federal state has been manifested in the form of an insurgency in the ethnic Baloch areas of the province. Within Balochistan, Quetta is the main shared space as well as a point of rivalry between the two dominant ethnic groups of the province: the Baloch and the Pashtun.1 Quite separately from the internal politics of Balochistan, Quetta has acquired global significance as an alleged logistic base for both sides in the war in Afghanistan. This paper seeks to examine different facets of Quetta – buffer zone, colonial enclave and urban hub − in order to understand the city’s significance for state building in Pakistan. State-building policy literature defines well functioning states as those that provide security for their citizens, protect property rights and provide public goods. States are also instruments of repression and the state-building process is often wrought with conflict and the violent suppression of rival ethnic and religious identities, and the imposition of extractive economic arrangements (Jones and Chandaran 2008).

    A Solar Developer's Guide to Pakistan

    A Solar Developer’s Guide to Pakistan IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: Acknowledgements This Guide was developed as part of the IFC Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Renewable Energy Development Support Advisory program, funded by AusAid, Japan, and The Netherlands for activities in Pakistan. The overall goal of this multi-year program is to enhance the scale up and development of renewable and clean energy in MENA by supporting developers and investors in MENA markets, increasing overall market awareness and understanding, and facilitating public-private dialogue. The Guide was prepared under the overall guidance of Bryanne Tait, IFC’s Regional Lead for Energy and Resource Efficiency Advisory, Middle East and North Africa. We acknowledge the significant contributions of Sohail Alam, IFC Energy Specialist and Alice Cowman, Renewable Energy Specialist, who has been commissioned by IFC to carry out the desk research, drafting and interviews. We would like to thank the Pakistan Alternative Energy Development Board, National Electric Power Regulatory Authority, National Transmission and Distribution Company, the Province of Punjab and the Province of Sindh, who contributed greatly to the research and study for this guide through interviews and provision of information and documents. IFC would also like to express its sincere appreciation to RIAA Barker Gillette, Ernst & Young, and Eversheds, who contributed to the drafting of the guide. Solar resource maps and GIS expertise were kindly provided by AWS Truepower and colleagues from the World Bank respectively, including support from the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). Certain mapping data was obtained from OpenStreetMap, and copyright details for this can be found at http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright.
