Worst Violence in Years Hits Baluchistan Leaving Hundreds Dead

What Happened?

During the past several days, the Pakistani province of Baluchistan has been hit by waves of violence, including bomb and gun attacks, which have left hundreds dead. In response, Pakistani security forces have killed at least one hundred and forty-five attackers, according to Baluchistan’s chief minister.

According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Grenade and gun attacks in the provincial capital Quetta and cities and towns across the province targeted hospitals, schools, banks and markets, Pakistan's junior interior minister Talal Chaudhry said. ‘In each case, the attackers were dressed as civilians and indiscriminately targeted ordinary people working in shops,’ he said.

Why it Matters

BBC reports have indicated the violence took place in several towns and villages across the southwestern portion of Baluchistan. While sporadic violence is not uncommon in Baluchistan, such widespread, systematic attacks are unusual.

The Baluchistan Liberation Army issued a statement saying it had launched a coordinated operation it referred to as Herof, or ‘black storm’ against security forces, and claimed to have killed eighty-four members of the security forces and kidnapped a further eighteen.

In terms of landmass, Baluchistan is one of the largest provinces of Pakistan, accounting for nearly half of all of Pakistan’s total territory, but is home to only about five percent of Pakistan’s population.

The region shares a border with Iran and Afghanistan, and contains significant amounts of natural resources, including coal, iron ore, and natural gas. The sparsely populated province is one of Pakistan’s poorest, with widespread poverty and poor infrastructure. 

The province is named for the Baluch tribe, which is the largest in the region. Since Pakistan became an independent nation in 1948, there has been a movement in Baluchistan to resist Pakistani rule and to form their own, independent nation.

At times, that resistance has turned violent, though the level of violence seen in the past week is far above the normal average.  Pakistan often blames India for providing insurgents with money or weapons, but direct proof has been lacking. 

Pakistan’s most important and most powerful institution is the Army, and Pakistan’s Army tends to leave remote provinces like Baluchistan alone unless violence there gets out of hand, as it has in the past few days.

Pakistan is a nuclear power, and its nuclear arsenal is under the control of the Pakistani Army. If the insurgency in Baluchistan were to win significant victories against Pakistan’s Army, it could destabilize the country and encourage other provinces to revolt against Islamabad, threatening the integrity of the whole country. 

How it Affects You

Pakistan is a nominal U.S. ally, but one that faces a host of serious domestic challenges. With a burgeoning population, sputtering economy, and underdeveloped infrastructure, Pakistan could become a failed state if the Army were to lose control of the provinces.

The danger posed by such a large increase in violence in Baluchistan is that it could intensify and spread to other parts of Pakistan, which could in turn destabilize all of central Asia. When faced with similar situations in the past, Pakistan’s Army has usually regained control, but sometimes at great cost in human lives and expenses.
