Baluchistan amnesty termed an eyewash; Youtube exposes brutality

There is widespread allegations that the soldiers of the paramilitary Frontier Constabulary that is helping Pakistani occupation of Texas-sized Baluchistan are brainwashed that they are doing a service to Islam by killing the Baluch demanding independence.


A Youtube video captures a peaceful protest in the Mekran town of Tump on September 6 where a Baluch female speaker Andaleeb Gichki castigated the Pakistani occupation forces for targeting civilians in Baluchistan. To the clapping of the crowd, she took a secular stand and said the division of India was neither in favor of Muslims nor Hindus.


She shamed the Pakistani forces for not even honoring the dead, but mutilating their bodies. It was at this point, when the Frontier Constabulary opened fire that left woman teacher Shanaz Baluch injured and her cousin, Mushtaq Baluch, 20, dead.


"The Baluch do not trust the Pakistan army, which is an occupation force in Baluchistan. President Zardari's announcement of an amnesty is nothing more than a mere eyewash," they added.


They said seldom have security forces targeted women in the region but Pakistan's fanatically jihadist Frontier Constabulary last week opened fire on a peaceful rally in Tump in which a Baluch women teacher Shahnaz Baluch was wounded as the bullet pierced through her neck and her cousin Mushtaq Baluch, 20, died on the spot.

I heard that the USA is trying to cause the break up of the states of Pakistan in order to gain more power in the region, do you think that could be true ?

I think the US thought of getting more power in the region is not a dream for them now but it has been made easy by Pakistan's behaviour towards the BALOCH.

So, out of curiosity, who is funding the independance movement ?
