Tensions escalate as Baloch activist Mir Yar Baloch beseeches Norway to deny platform to Pakistan’s Anwar ul Haq Kakar and Balochistan CM Sarfaraz Bugti amid their upcoming February 15-17 trip. Accusations of heinous crimes have turned what might have been a standard junket into an international flashpoint.
From Quetta, Baloch’s Friday missive accuses the leaders of ISI collusion in abducting and eliminating Baloch dissidents, burying evidence in mass pits, and exploiting provincial wealth. Their terror funding—Al-Qaeda, ISIS—and IRGC ties allegedly extend to rub-outs of critics, threatening world order.
Dubbing their Oslo foray a peril to anti-terror efforts, Baloch insists on disinvitation for these ‘sellouts and jihadist patrons.’ Pakistan’s military-terror nexus demands vigilance, he argues.
Preceding this, BNM’s Naseem Baloch decried the visit, citing their culpability in vanishings, killings, and collective torment—hallmarks of genocide. Mengal’s militia links under army patronage seal their infamy.
Norway, exemplar in rights advocacy, must probe: Why no reckoning for killers? Why militia impunity? Activists rally civil society to demand answers on graves, squads, and bereft families.
Balochistan’s struggle against erasure gains global ear. Norway’s response could galvanize action or embolden oppressors, etching a chapter in the fight for Baloch dignity.
