Pakistan Train Hijack: What Is Baloch Liberation Army (BLA)? Militant Group Behind Train Hijack

Описание: Pakistan Train Hijack: What Is Baloch Liberation Army (BLA)? Militant Group Behind Train Hijack

Who are the BLA?

The BLA accused the Pakistani government of a forceful takeover of Balochistan by forcing their former king Khan of Kalat to sign the instrument of accession in March 1948. The militant group, designated by the US and Pakistan as a terrorist organisation, has been engaged in a decades-long insurgency against the Pakistan government, seeking independence for the natural resource-rich province.

The militants have been accusing the central government of exploiting the least-populated region's oil and mineral wealth while the ethnic Baloch minority of the province faces discrimination and battle poverty. Security forces battling insurgency have been accused of human rights abuses and forced disappearances by the Baloch minority.

“Pakistani military generals and their Punjabi elite are looting these resources for their luxury. The valuable natural resources in Balochistan belong to the Baloch nation,” the BLA statement after the Tuesday attack said.

Militancy in the province gathered momentum since China, Pakistan's strategic ally, began implementing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in the region.
