Thousands of people have been killed and similar numbers have been injured, displaced, arrested or have gone missing due to the conflict in Balochistan. Despite this, the province remains an enigma for most Pakistanis who do not live there. Official history books are riddled with inaccuracies, and the mainstream media rarely covers the conflict with much depth. The aim of the Balochistan Series at T2F is to encourage open and informal dialogue about the Balochistan conflict, and especially to bring you voices that are generally not heard. Join us in our discussions with academics, activists, and journalists to get a range of views about what is happening in Balochistan. --------------------------------------------------------- Session 1: A Brief History of Baloch Nationalism (1920s to 2004) --------------------------------------------------------- Did you know that from August 11, 1947 until March 1948, Pakistan officially recognized the State of Kalat as an independent sovereign state? Did you know that TV presenter, Najam Sethi and journalist, Ahmed Rashid were among a clandestine group of students from London who joined the guerrilla movement in the mountains of Balochistan in the 1970s? Part of the problem in any discussion about the Baloch conflict is the lack of awareness or availability of credible information on the history of the movement. In the inaugural session of this series, we will discuss the history of the Baloch nationalist movement from its inception in the 1920s up until 2004 (prior to the start of the current insurgency). Dr Syed Jaffar Ahmed is the director of the Pakistan Study Center at the University of Karachi and has written extensively on the subject of federalism in Pakistan. Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur is a columnist for the Daily Times newspaper. He is an advocate for Baloch rights and was among those who joined the guerrilla movement during the 1973-1977 conflict. Nazish Brohi has been working in the development sector for 14 years in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. She has led research projects and has published on impacts of conflict; women and land politics, on various forms of violence, and on the religious right wing in Pakistan. With our moderator, Nazish Brohi and the audience, our two guests will have an informal discussion about the rise of Baloch nationalism and the major features of its history. Anyone interested in doing some reading ahead of the session can find links on our website at: http://www.t2f.biz/balochistan The next three sessions of the Balochistan Series will focus on: - Understanding the current insurgency (2004 to present) - Women in the Balochistan conflict - The impact of the conflict on non-Baloch citizens in Balochistan Date: Friday, 18th May, 2012 Time: 7:00 pm Minimum Donation: Anything you like. Please support our vision of intellectual poverty alleviation by donating generously. Venue: T2F Seats are limited and will be available on a "first come, first served" basis. No reservations.

Balochistan movement or Greater Balochistan is supported by only 3 out of 70 Baluch Sardars.The rest of the Sardars want to be part of Pakistan.And these 3 Sardars that are sitting abroad and running Azad Balochistan movement from Switzerland and England because obviously they dont have public support in Balochistan.The majority of people in Balochistan are Pashtuns and not Baluch contrary to public knowledge.And Pashtuns are on the verge of suing these Sardars because they definitely are loyal to Pakistan.These 3 Sardars are actually underworld drug barrons and illegal arms dealers.So if you are supporting them then you are supporting criminals unknowingly.Also watch this video Brahamdagh Bugti openly accepted that they take aid from not only RAW but also ready to take aid/money even from satan. Brahamdagh Bugti busted and blasted by Kashif Abbasi in this exclusive interview.Watch and decide for yourself what these 3 Sardars are upto.

Watch this video.Its a lesson for all those supporting so-called “Azad balochistan ” that who are they fighting against ? When Mubasher Lucman asked from grandson of Khan of Qalat that why his grandfather joined Pakistan in the first place if today they are so against it he replied : Holy Prophet Muhammad pbuh gave direct orders to Khan of Qalat in a dream that a holy land Pakistan is coming into being and you are trying to hinder it ? So on Hazrat Muhammad saw orders he joined state of Qalat with Pakistan. http://voiceofmiddleclassbaloch.blogspot.com/2012/04/grandson-of-khan-kalat-talking-to-media.html

Stability and peace is very much needed in Balochistan right now, as many anti Pakistan and foreign funded terrorists and so called intellectuals are trying their best to break it away from rest of it. The activities of miscreants are rarely discussed in mainstream media that is why the enemies of Pakistan does every propaganda against its defenders the Pak Army and even non baloch who served their whole lives in Balochistan and loved their birth place, are maligned and even executed by terrorist of BLA. Many local warlords are involved in anti state activites mentioned in this news here by some authentic people there. http://dailysada-e-ghazi.blogspot.com/p/interviews-of-people-politcians.html The work of enemies of Pakistan is elaborated here in the news below. http://dailysada-e-ghazi.blogspot.com/2012/05/dailysada-e-ghazi18thedition-18052012.html

I dont unsderstand why some people are so much blind or don't want to know what reality is. There are thousands of CIA workers doing their illegal dirty job in Balochistan at the moment to make dirty and greedy people do propaganda and spread disinformation by bribing them so that the countries like America and Israel would disintigrate Pakistan so that its nuclear weapons could be taken out so that nobody in the world could have been there which would be able to stop and threaten Israel to wage wars against more Islamic Nations. And Israel knows very well that Pakistanis have the potential and courage to destroy Israel if Israel martyrs millions of innocent people in near future which it has done in the past as well. So, to achieve this dirty object Israel always plays these sort of dirty tactics of breaking up of big Muslim powers through america by purchasing traitors within those states. And three to four the names mentioned above are very good example of how 3 to 4 traitors are promoted and given coverage in the zionists media while how other thousands of patriots are ignored like they don't exist.

On an interesting note, Israhell's puppets Qatar and UAE are organizing, funding and promoting Baloch separatists instead of helping solve real problems of Balochistan. A couple of months back, a Qatari official visited Balochistan and "lost" millions of dollars while doing hunting! Lol, doesn't that smell fishy? To whom did he "lose" those dollars? See this video. Baloch separatists being trained and organized in these slave nations of Israhell, chanting the so-called Free Balochistan anthem.

This is sheer propaganda. The inside story of Balochistan is a bit different and those who have been living there for the last 30 years know it first hand. Check this. It might help you get a deeper understanding of the issues faced by common Baloch Muslims: http://pakistancyberforce.blogspot.com/2012/02/baluchistan-inside-crosshair-untold.html
