A leading voice in Balochistan’s human rights struggle, Sammee Deen Baloch of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, accuses Pakistan of waging war on Baloch identity itself, not just armed resistance.

Speaking out on social media platform X, Baloch exposed how the Pakistani state perceives Baloch people as adversaries. This perception fuels a cycle of abuses: forced vanishings of civilians across all demographics, from infants to seniors, and brutal murders disguised as security operations.

‘The state’s quarrel is with Baloch identity,’ Baloch stated bluntly. ‘Anti-Baloch measures target everyone—men, women, youth, elders, kids—proving the problem lies in our existence, not rebellion.’

She unraveled the counter-terrorism facade. ‘This narrative hides genocidal policies and seeks global approval. Explain classifying pregnant women and teens as terrorists,’ Baloch demanded.

Balochistan’s genocide claims are routinely dismissed as propaganda by Islamabad. Yet Baloch argues this systematic erasure of an entire people’s identity qualifies as the ultimate atrocity, indiscriminate in its violence.

‘Even enemies in civilized wars protect non-combatants,’ Baloch said. ‘Pakistan’s rulers, treating Baloch as foes, have abandoned decency and human values. Laws exist only on paper.’

Reports detail long-standing state-sponsored terror in Balochistan: protected hit squads enforcing disappearances, summary executions, and illegal imprisonments. As Baloch’s message spreads, international scrutiny on Pakistan intensifies.
