Do they look like militants? They are innocent children. What is their sin? Will killing children ever bring peace?
Is this Palestine? Is this Kashmir? No. It's Balochistan.
“For colonial power, the woman’s body becomes a battlefield , through her, the conqueror seeks to dominate the whole society.”
Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism
Today in Panjgur district, a Baloch daughter Nazia Baloch and her mother were abducted from their home by security forces . Hours later, severely physically abused Nazia was brought to hospital and in few hours passed away.
This is not only about one young woman’s death. When women in oppressed regions are targeted under the guise of “security,” it is the entire nation that is attacked. Every such act aims to break a people’s spirit , to remind them that even their homes and their dignity are not safe.
Violence against women is not collateral damage; it is a weapon of control.
It tells us, again and again, that what is done to one body is done to all of us..
The words of Nazia’s story will echo as a question to every conscious individual ,
Whose security demands the body and blood of its own daughters?

🇵🇰: Every time Baloch protests take place, their demands are met with violence by security forces and mass arrests. Read more on why the repeated punitive crackdowns on Baloch protests in Pakistan must end:(https://t.co/9ix8IENH2r)
In response to the reactions from my previous post, where the cowardice outcries in the comments prove that one unarmed Baloch's tweet shook the spinless Punjabis to their core. #Pakistan has the 6th largest military in the world and the #Baloch are still not scared of them. It is the sheer determination and resolve of the Baloch people that the occupiers are afraid of.
They are stopping and shooting civilians from going to #Gwadar city to please the #Chinese, but Gwadar is not #China or Pakistan, and the Baloch people have every right to travel within their country. These chicken-hearted Punjabis are pointing fingers towards #Pashtun and claiming that it is not them,but the Pashtuns who are shooting the Baloch people. How quick they are to place the blame on others.The #Punjabis are not built to rule; throughout history they have only served foreign occupiers. The #British divided #India to weaken them and created Pakistan for their own interest, the British consented and helped them to occupy #Balochistan. The muslim Punjabis were given a country "on a silver platter" only to facilitate their pre-1947 Masters,but now they are serving all the major powers. They are continuing their historical role of serving other nations.
A reminder to the occupiers of Balochistan, Iran and Pakistan, : people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
