(August 19, Islamabad, Sri Lanka Guardian) Defining Baloch national policy regarding the foreign policies of foes and friends towards Balochistan, the Baloch national leader, Hyrbyair Marri, in a press statement said that any collaboration between America and Pakistan over Balochistan was totally unacceptable. Highlighting the main reason why Balochistan has been the Centre of imperial interests, He said that Balochistan was an ultra-strategic importance to entire world community generally and to Indian subcontinent particularly, therefore they used power to subjugate Baloch nation to continue their colonial rule over Balochistan. But, he said that Baloch never bowed before any powers and their colonial rules.

Drawing the attention of world community towards Baloch history he said that Baloch are trying their best to convince International Community that Balochistan had been occupied by Pakistan forcefully against their will and it is imposing its decision on Baloch nation at gun point. Therefore, the Baloch leader explained that Baloch are totally different from Pakistanis on every aspect [language, culture and way of life], Hence, Pakistan had no right to represent the Baloch national interests. He said that the sovereign independent Baloch homeland had been divided into different parts under morbid interests and conspiracies. Mr. Marri said that the colonial powers had committed genocide of Baloch nation by exploiting the vocabulary of terrorism and attributing it to the freedom and peace loving Baloch.

Expressing his dismay the Baloch national leader said that despite being well aware of the facts about Balochistan situation, the international community had, so far, maintained a policy of “see and ignore - hear and forget”. The Baloch have rendered numerous sacrifices to regain their sovereignty and they are adamant to continue their struggle till the ultimate victory. Despite the cruel tactics of the enemy, there is no dearth of sons of soil for sacrificing their lives for the freedom of the nation.

Expressing his views about America’s intention of opening a Consulate in Quetta Hyrbyair Marri said that he become aware this news through media sources; he said that if they want to open a consulate in Quetta, they can do that according to international laws as such law already exist. However, he said that Pakistan has no right to decide the destiny of Baloch nation. Historically Baloch are a sovereign nation and owner of an Independent country. There is no harm if world communities, including America want to establish their foreign Missions in Balochistan but America and other nations should acknowledge the sovereign status of Balochistan and should allow us (the Baloch) to open our embassies in their respective countries, because Pakistan’s embassies around the world do not represent Baloch and Balochistan.

He made it clear that America and other nations should keep in view [respect] the Baloch national sovereignty, integrity and the Independent status of Balochistan while making any decisions/bonds with Pakistan. “We would never tolerate any Nation that collaborates with Pakistan against the will of Baloch people and decides our destiny. We Baloch as an independent and separate nation would want to establish relationship of mutual interests with International community”.

Hyrbyair Marri said that International Community has been suffering from the terrorism and religious madness/extremism promoted and abetted by Pakistan from past one decade but the Baloch Nation has been facing these [terrorism and religious extremism of Pakistan] from 64 years. Pakistan is exploiting the religion for its vested interests. Besides its own interests this fundamentalist state has no concerns about world peace and sovereignty. It is high time that International Community become realistic, recognize the independent status of Balochistan and join hands with Baloch people to accelerate their efforts for a more peaceful and safer world and save it from not only incidents like 9/11 and 7/7 but more sever and destructive occurrences in future.

The patriot Baloch leader said that the main reason behind Pakistan’s reluctant to allow the US to establish a consulate in Quetta is because the presence of American staff in Balochistan will witness Pakistan’s military operations and atrocities against Baloch people. An illustration of Pakistan’s hesitant is the limiting the activities of foreign NGOs to Quetta only and putting restriction on their movements anywhere else in Balochistan. They are not allowed to help three hundred thousand Marri, Bugti and other Baloch victims of Pakistan’s military operations. Balochistan has been declared a ‘No Go’ area for International observers and media. “Pakistan does not want the International Organisations and media to visit Balochistan and see the ground realities for themselves and bring the occupying forces brutalities to the world’s attention. It’s [Pakistan’s] state sponsored media has adopted the policy of ‘all is well in Balochistan’ in order to mislead the world about factual situation of Balochistan. The International Community should know that this outrageous state is trying to hide its atrocities Baloch people by dubbing Baloch nation as terrorists.

Hyrbyair Marri said that slave-minded Baloch ministers who praise their Punjabi masters are not the representative of Baloch people; they represent their own vested interests and personal gains. They have forgotten the great country of Balochistan and they are dishonoring the sacrifices of our fallen heroes because these ministers have been tasked to promote the concept of Pakistani slavery in Balochistan. They should be well-aware of the fact how history has treated National traitors.

The participation of these selfish-minded so called Baloch, worshipers of Pakistani parliament, to one of the darkest day in Baloch history [14 August] and hoisting the flag of enemy’s country, which was only confined to military cantonments, is tantamount to collaborating with the Baloch enemy.

On August 11 the Baloch Nation has held reference with regards to “Balochistan’s Independence Day” and pledged that their main goal is to free Balochistan from the occupation of alien Pakistani forces. Hyrbyair Marri said that we all have to prove practically that we are the voice of Baloch people that are struggling to defend the Baloch land. He called upon all Baloch unite to defend the national honor and identity of the mother land and take forward the struggle for freedom.
