  • Pakistan: Violence Vs. Stability
    PAKISTAN: VIOLENCE VS. STABILITY A National Net Assessment Varun Vira and Anthony H. Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy [email protected] Working Draft: 5 May 2011 Please send comments and suggested revisions and additions to [email protected] Vira & Cordesman: Pakistan: Violence & Stability 3/5/11 ii Executive Summary As the events surrounding the death of Osama Bin Laden make all too clear, Pakistan is passing through one of the most dangerous periods of instability in its history. This instability goes far beyond Al Qa‟ida, the Taliban, and the war in Afghanistan. A net assessment of the patterns of violence and stability indicate that Pakistan is approaching a perfect storm of threats, including rising extremism, a failing economy, chronic underdevelopment, and an intensifying war, resulting in unprecedented political, economic and social turmoil. The Burke Chair at CSIS has developed an working draft of a net assessment that addresses each of these threats and areas of internal violence in depth, and does so within in the broader context of the religious, ideological, ethnic, sectarian, and tribal causes at work; along with Pakistan‟s problems in ideology, politics, governance, economics and demographics. The net assessment shows that these broad patterns of violence in Pakistan have serious implications for Pakistan‟s future, for regional stability, and for core US interests. Pakistan remains a central node in global counterterrorism. Osama Bin Laden was killed deep inside Pakistan in an area that raises deep suspicion about what Pakistani intelligence, senior military officers and government officials did and did not know about his presence – and the presence of other major terrorists and extremist like Sheik Mullah Omar and the “Quetta Shura Taliban.” Pakistan pursues its own agenda in Afghanistan in ways that provide the equivalent of cross- border sanctuary for Taliban and Haqqani militants, and that prolong the fighting and cause serious US, ISAF, and Afghan casualties.

  • The Baluch Insurgency: Linking Iran to Pakistan by Zia Ur Rehman
    Report May 2014 The Baluch insurgency: linking Iran to Pakistan By Zia Ur Rehman Executive summary The Sistan and Baluchistan Province of Iran has long been associated with instability and armed conflict. The two million largely Sunni Muslim Baluch living in the province have suffered sustained racist persecution and discrimination in predominantly Shia and Persian-speaking Iran. Analysts claim that lack of development and cultural and religious repression in Sistan and Baluchistan have encouraged popular support for the insurgency among the Baluch community. Iran claims that the main bases of the two main Baluch insurgents groups, Jundullah and Jaish-ul Adl, are in Pakistan’s Baluchistan Province, which shares a 1,165-kilometre border with Iran. Iranian forces are increasingly carrying out cross-border attacks against these groups, straining relations between Iran and Pakistan and possibly fuelling sectarian violence in both countries. Pakistan is battling its own Baluch separatist insurgency. It is feared that the mistreatment of the Baluch community on both sides of the border could lead to an alliance between religiously motivated anti-Iranian Sunni militant groups and the various secular Pakistani Baluch separatist groups. Iranian Baluch militants groups are not only causing an increasing internal security crisis in Iran, but are also threatening to become the key to the survival of the Taliban on the Iran-Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The Baluch in Iran and Pakistan: Persian state in Iran that enshrined ethnic suppression, historical context forcing the Baluch community to fight to protect their rights The Baluch are the indigenous people of the Baluchistan under Iranian rule (UNPO, 2010).

It argues that the Iranian theocratic political system uses an assimilationist approach and tries to assimilate the Baloch-Sunni into Shia Persain dominated ethno-religious group; but, this policy has been resisted by different strata of the society. The study finds that although there is a general consensus among the Baloch Sunnis to uphold their ethno-religious values, each segment of the Baloch Sunni society is combatting the central government’s ethno-religious policy on its own way depending on the means available, ranging from cultural efforts to political and military activities. keywords: Baloch Sunnis, Ethno-Religious Assimilation, Islamic Republic of Iran, Shia * Dr., Al-Madinah International University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, orcid.org/0000- 0002-3924-8113, [email protected] ** Dr., Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, TR, Department of International Relations, orcid.org/0000-0001-7804-5741, [email protected] 55 Türkiye Ortadoğu Çalışmaları Dergisi ISSN: 2147-7523, E-ISSN: 2630-5631 Cilt: 6, Sayı: 1, ss. 55-84 Geliş Tarihi: 14.11.2018 Kabul Tarihi: 14.05.2019 DOI: 10.26513/tocd.482859 Beluci sünnilerin İran İslam Cumhuriyeti’nin etno-dini Politikasına karşı Tepkilerinin İncelenmesi * Hadi Gamshadzehifar & ** Abdolmoghset Banikamal Öz Bu çalışma, Beluci-Sünni etnik azınlığının İran İslam Cumhuriyeti’nin asimilasyon temelli yaklaşımına karşı tepkisini incelemektedir.

  • The Impact of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Central Asia
    Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia June 26, 2012 i US AND IRANIAN STRATEGIC COMPETITION: The Impact of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Central Asia By Robert M. Shelala II, Nori Kasting, and Anthony H. Cordesman June 26, 2013 Anthony H. Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy [email protected] Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia June 26, 2012 ii Acknowledgements Sam Khazai and Sean Mann made important contributions to this analysis. Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia June 26, 2012 iii Executive Summary Security and stability in Central and South Asia are driven by regional tensions and quarrels, and the internal instability of regional states. Weak governance and corruption are major problems in every state in the region, along with state barriers to economic growth and development and – in most cases – under investment in education, health, and infrastructure. Very young populations face major unemployment and underemployment problems and income distribution is badly unbalanced, and on sharply favors the ruling power elite. Ethic, tribal, and sectarian tensions compound these problems, and in many cases, so do internal and external threats from Islamic extremists and the growing tensions between Sunni and Shi‟ite. The tensions between the US and Iran have been peripheral to these forces and are likely to remain so – particularly since the US is largely leaving Afghanistan and has steadily declined strategic interest in Pakistan and Central Asia as well. The one exception that might sharply increase US and Iranian competition would be a contingency where a major confrontation or conflict between the US and Iran that began in the Gulf – or outside Central and South Asia – led Iran to be far more aggressive in attacking or challenge UDS interest in the region.

  • Sunni Militants in Iran: Activities, Ideological Sources and Political
    International Research Journal of Social Sciences______________________________________ ISSN 2319–3565 Vol. 4(3), 79-87, March (2015) Int. Res. J. Social Sci. Sunni Militants in Iran: Activities, Ideological Sources and Political Strategies Noraiee Hoshang Hoshang Noraiee Taught International Political Economy-University of Westminster, London, UNITED KINGDOM Available online at: www.isca.in Received 27 th December 2014, revised 31 st January 2015, accepted 5th March 2015 Abstract In this article the activities, ideological and strategic characters of militant Sunni groups in Southeast Iran will be investigated. It will be argued that their ability to survive and their capacity for popularity and action, to a large extent, is associated with strong sense of alienation among the Sunnis in the area, as well as their ethnic and religious networks which exist across borders. These factors have strengthened their positions in the wake of turbulent conditions in adjacent countries, particularly in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The militant groups in the area are not homogeneous and vary from quietists and ethnic-religious nationalists to sectarian and global-oriented Jihadists. Nearly all these militants in the marginal corner of Southeast Iran have adopted a strong anti-Shia approach, which was influenced politically and ideologically by radical Deobandis as well as Wahabbis and Salafists. Their strategies have shifted overtime but mostly focused on near enemy. With serious threats imposed by ISIS along western borders, the Shia regime in Iran has become more aware of the dimension of problems in Southeast Iran, particularly the area of Sistan and Baluchistan Keywords: Iran, Afghanistan, Sistan and Baluchistan, Pakistan, US, NATO, Taliban, al Qaeda, jihadist, Jondollah, Jaish-e- Adl, Sunni, Shia, Laskar-e- Janguhi.

  • The Stability-Instability Paradox and the Effect of an Iranian Nuclear Weapon on Pakistan‘S Domestic Stability
    The Stability-Instability Paradox and the Effect of an Iranian Nuclear Weapon on Pakistan‘s Domestic Stability Mehreen Ahmed University of Colorado at Boulder Program in International Affairs IAFS 4800-001 Honors in International Affairs April 10, 2013 Committee Members Vicki Hunter ǀ Program in International Affairs Gregory Young ǀ Dept. of Political Science (advisor) Jerry Peterson ǀ Dept. of Physics Abstract Sectarian conflict is a recent phenomenon in Pakistan‘s history. Pakistan lost its secular nature when it underwent a process of Islamization during Zia-ul- Haq‘s rule, which created extremist Sunni militants. The Iranian Revolution and Saudi religious donations also caused the Pakistani population to become more religious and the target of a Saudi-Iranian proxy war. In this thesis, I explore how the stability-instability paradox helps explain why the Saudi-Iranian proxy war will lead to domestic instability and increased sectarian conflict in Pakistan once Iran acquires nuclear weapons. The Saudi-Iranian proxy war has manifested itself in sectarian terms in Pakistan because both countries fund religious schools and militant political organizations. Because Iran and Saudi Arabia are competing for regional hegemony, they have turned Pakistan into a battleground between pro- Saudi Sunni forces and pro-Iran Shiite forces. When Iran acquires nuclear weapons, Pakistani Shiite groups will become aggressive and Iran will become emboldened in its support of unconventional warfare thus leading to domestic instability and increased sectarian

  • 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.
