Buffer Zone, Colonial Enclave, Or Urban Hub?
Working Paper no. 69 - Cities and Fragile States - BUFFER ZONE, COLONIAL ENCLAVE OR URBAN HUB? 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). -

Evaluating Urbanization Impact on Stressed Aquifer of Quetta Valley, Pakistan
Desalination and Water Treatment 222 (2021) 103–113 www.deswater.com May doi: 10.5004/dwt.2021.27068 Evaluating urbanization impact on stressed aquifer of Quetta Valley, Pakistan Faizan Dawooda, Malik Muhammad Akhtarb,*, Muhsan Ehsanc aDepartment of Civil Engineering, Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering and Management Sciences, Quetta, Pakistan, email: [email protected] bDepartment of Environmental Sciences, Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering and Management Sciences, Quetta, Pakistan, Tel. +92 335 445 7067; email: [email protected] cDepartment of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Bahria University, Islamabad, Pakistan, email: [email protected] Received 14 February 2020; Accepted 16 January 2021 abstract This research is focused on the land use/land cover (LU/LC) changes impacts on the groundwater table and urbanization trend of Quetta valley for a period of 10 y. The land cover changes are occur- ring locally, regionally, and worldwide, which results in the expansion of urbanization trend and groundwater table depletion. Population growth leads to fast change in land use patterns, which increases the demand for basic needs. Urbanization and climatic impacts on depleting groundwa- ter resources in Quetta need to assess and find a scientific solution using applications of the latest software. This study investigated the land cover changes in three categories, which were barren land, vegetation, built-up area by using maximum likelihood classification (MLC). Water table depletion was defined in five ranges from very low to very high by using the Kriging Method. It is inferred that the built-up area was increased the most in the last 10 y, that is, 2008–2018 as com- pared to other classes. -

Arbitrary detention of journalists b. Harassment and ill-treatment of journalists c. Journalists subjected to enforced disappearance and extrajudicial execution d. Journalists subjected to enforced disappearance and released, reports of torture e. Journalists subjected to targeted killing f. Journalists inadequately protected while covering violence 2. Human rights abuses inflicted on lawyers in Balochistan 3. Human rights abuses inflicted on human rights activists in Balochistan 4. Recommendations to the Federal Government of Pakistan and the Provincial Government of Balochistan Executive summary Human rights defenders, i.e. persons who uncover human rights violations, bring them to public knowledge and campaign for redress for victims through peaceful and non-violent means, were in December 1998 placed been under the special protection of the international community when the General Assembly adopted the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. It was the first UN instrument that explicitly recognizes the importance and legitimacy of the work of human rights defenders and lays down their right to effective protection. This commitment has not been honoured in Balochistan. Human rights defenders - be they journalists investigating and documenting wrongdoings of state agents, lawyers representing victims of human rights abuses in court or human rights activists campaigning to end human rights violations – have been subjected to a range of human rights violations themselves. They have been harassed, arbitrarily arrested and detained, subjected to enforced disappearance, torture and extrajudicial killings. -

Baloch Resistance During Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Era: Causes and Consequences
South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 29, No. 1, January – July 2014, pp. 321-331 Baloch Resistance during Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Era: Causes and Consequences Gulshan Majeed University of the Punjab. Lahore. Rehana Saeed Hashmi University of the Punjab. Lahore. Abstract Rising insurgency in Balochistan is one of the most serious threats to the federation of Pakistan. The Baloch tribal homeland is a vast area of desert and mountains. Geographically the province of Balochistan is considered the largest province of Pakistan while demographically it is smallest. Balochistan is the most underdeveloped province of Pakistan and this under-development reveals the alarming situation .Since 1947 Baloch have been facing different forms of deprivations and this sense of deprivation amongst Baloch has become one of the major reasons to give birth a number of uprisings against the federal government. Political arrangements under long military rules added doubts in the minds of Baloch people who had a scant representation in military and civil services of Pakistan. This situation has become a major source to strengthen sense of nationalism among the people of Balochistan. This study will highlight various causes of third Baloch insurgency during Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's era and its impacts on Pakistan. Key Words Insurgency, Nationalism, Deprivation, Coercive Means, Confidence building measures. Introduction In a federation powers are distributed among federal government and federating units according to the constitution. Bothe federal and provincial governments perform their functions within their prescribed limitations. A federal system can be more successful and stable when there is smooth functioning of federal government and federating units. -
Regional Political Parties 1 This Article Is Not to Be Cited Until the Final
Regional Political Parties This article is not to be cited until the final version is uploaded Regional Political Parties: Challenge to Political Stability in Pakistan By Amna Mahmood Asst. Prof. Department of Politics & IR International Islamic University Islamabad REGIONAL POLITICAL PARTIES: CHALLENGE TO POLITICAL STABILITY OF PAKISTAN 1 Regional Political Parties National integration have been a challenge to Pakistan, a federation. Regional political parties have played a critical role to add up to the misery of situation. The regional parties have their vested interests and they do everything to achieve those interests. The leadership is mostly low profile and parochial. Since it is not possible for them to achieve some prominent place in the national politics, they appeal to the regional sentiments of the masses and aggravate the provincial and ethnic issues to stay in news headlines. They contest elections on basis of regional issues, and traumatized later to make people feel scared about the threats to the community’s interests and even to its survival. They win a few seats in elections and start blackmailing the government on the matters of national interests. Some of them have no recognition among the masses but they continue to haunt the process of national integration. No doubt the regional discrepancies and deprivations remained there and the allocation of scarce resources had been the source of conflict in Pakistan. The absence of representative institutions and the prolonged periods of military rule further complicated these issues but the strong articulated political parties could have consolidated the feelings of oneness among the people of Pakistan.
