Read this long piece by @Akbar_notezai on the long and arduous struggle of Baloch women for justice. Young Baloch women are courageously challenging state oppression in Balochistan, and I am proud to stand alongside thousands of brave voices.

This (oil trade) is the Baloch people’s source of livelihood, and they do it out of poverty. Despite it, they are killed for just earning a livelihood.

an additonal info: an award-winning journalist in Islamabad too worked as a grade 16 officer at the C&W department in Turbat, responsible for constructing the same Turbat-Buleda road. He received his salary for 10 years, even after joining a well known international publication.

Until or unless there is an alternative source of income for these people who are poor and have no other source of livelihood, oil trade will continue to fester. #Balochistan

جس پاکستان میں اس انداز سے ایرانی پٹرول سمگل کر آرہا ہو، اس میں افغانستان سے عسکریت پسندوں کا آنا کیسے روکا جارہا ہوگا؟۔ اندازہ کریں؟ یہ پاکستان ہے یا سمگلستان ؟۔ کچھ تو خدا کا خوف اور پاکستانی قوم پر رحم کریں۔ کیا کبھی قبر میں نہیں جانا؟

. @UmarCheema1 is a kind and humble friend, and I have met his beautiful children at his house in Islamabad. But I think I am more aware of grounded realities since I spent two and a half years on Buleda story. Umer has never been to Buleda; heard about it after reading my story.

There are no longer any ideologically-driven parties in Balochistan; people vote not for parties, but for individuals who bend in the wind whenever there is an upheaval. #Balochistan

B.M. Kutty told me once he urged Mir Saheb to document his life and politics, so that the younger Baloch generation could learn about him. Bizenjo finally agreed. Eventually, the autobiography was published. Kutty also wrote extensively about Bizenjo, Baloch politics in his book

Despite Arundhati Roy’s scathing criticism of the government, her book is available to buy in India’s bookshops. Juxtapose that with what happened in Pakistan to a translation of @mohammedhanif ’s novel.

Interestingly, a senator who has been very vocal in criticising Sardar Khetran and who has helped the Marri family appear before the Senate to present their case, is himself said to be guilty of detaining Bugti tribesmen in his own private jail.
