Balochistan

The recent decision to extend CPEC into Afghanistan is a boost to regional cooperation. But geopolitical rivalries cloud hopes.

While Balochistan is widely known for enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings, far less attention is given to how anti-Baloch repression manifests in other parts of the country.

In confirming the presence of its bases in Pakistan, ISKP made a significant admission.

The controversial law will undermine restive Balochistan’s rights over its mineral reserves.

With growing operational capacity, BLA is targeting Chinese projects, blocking highways, and briefly taking over control of remote towns.

The peaceful resistance she leads is hamstrung by limited financial resources and global networking opportunities to mount an international campaign.

Pakistan may seek China's assistance in exerting pressure on Baloch militant sanctuaries located in Afghanistan.

Located in the sparsely populated Gwadar district of Pakistan’s insurgency-wracked Balochistan province, the airport’s economic viability is doubtful.

Looking for a culprit, there is a real possibility that Pakistan may view counterterrorism cooperation with Iran with increasing suspicion.

Rallies, demonstrations, sit-ins, and protests are ongoing in various parts of Balochistan despite crackdowns by the government. 

Pakistan's peripheral regions – like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – are highly strategic locations. They are also home to ethnic minorities who feel increasingly marginalized by the center.

Beneath the rugged terrain, sandy expanses, and arid deserts of Chagai lies one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold and copper reserves.
