A highly shocking piece of news has emerged for Pakistan. On Tuesday, Balochistan declared itself an independent country, causing turmoil within the Shehbaz Sharif government and the Pakistan Army. A statement is rapidly going viral on social media, in which Balochistan has claimed its independence.
……………..
Claim of Control Over 85% Territory
………………………………………………………
In the viral statement, a major claim has been made that the Balochistan army has now taken control of 85 percent of the region. Along with this, Balochistan has also announced the implementation of its own separate flag, national anthem, currency, and a complete administrative system.
……………….
Baloch human rights activist Meer Yaar Baloch, posting on the social media platform ‘X’, stated that Balochistan is now fully entitled to international recognition. He claimed that the Republic now has full control over gold-copper mines, more than 150 active gas fields, and over 1,200 coal mines.
………………..
Control Over Minerals and Resources
………………………………………………………
The letter going viral on social media states that the new government of Balochistan has full control over all major natural resources of the area. Furthermore, the letter also claims that many local people working in Pakistani security agencies are quitting their jobs and joining the movement for Balochistan’s freedom.
……………
It is worth noting that Balochistan is Pakistan’s wealthiest province, possessing vast amounts of mineral wealth. Local people have long alleged that the Pakistani government and the army exploit their natural resources heavily, but the benefits never reach the common Baloch public. Because of this, violent clashes often occur between organizations like the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Pakistan Army.

Trouble Increases for Pakistan, But Awaiting Confirmation

Anti-Pakistan protests have been ongoing in Balochistan for a long time. The public there often chants slogans against Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir. Now, declaring itself independent has further increased Pakistan’s difficulties. However, this viral claim has not yet been officially confirmed by any international organization or country, nor has any country recognized it.
…………………..
History

According to information, violent incidents in Balochistan have increased significantly over the past few months. Baloch rebels and terrorists from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are continuously targeting security forces. If reports are to be believed, 109 terrorists have been killed in this region since July 5, which has kept the situation very tense.
