- Baloch National Movement leader Qazi Rehan claims Balochistan will never accept Pakistani rule.
- Operation Baam marks a strategic uprising against Pakistan’s military across key districts.
- Rehan calls for international recognition of Balochistan’s right to self-determination.
In a striking escalation of Baloch resistance, the Baloch National Movement (BNM) launched Operation Baam, a series of synchronized attacks targeting the Pakistani military in Panjgur, Surab, Kech, and Kharan.
Rehan stressed that BNM’s complete boycott of Pakistan’s political system sets it apart. The group refuses to settle for partial autonomy or token representation.
We Reject Pakistan’: Baloch Nationalists Launch Operation Baam for Freedom and Justice
Operation Baam, meaning “Dawn,” was not merely a military maneuver—it was a statement of intent. By launching simultaneous attacks across multiple districts, the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) and affiliated groups signaled their readiness to shift from isolated acts of defiance to coordinated resistance. The operation’s scale and precision challenged Pakistan’s narrative of control over the region.
Rehan described the shift from tribal-led insurrections to people-powered movements as crucial. He explained that past efforts through Pakistan’s parliamentary route only led to cultural erosion and continued marginalization. The BNM’s decision to boycott elections was a deliberate rejection of a system designed to pacify rather than empower the Baloch population.
Technology and strategic training now underpin the modern Baloch resistance. Young fighters are adopting guerrilla tactics and digital intelligence to counter Pakistan’s conventional military might. This evolution reflects a conscious effort to match ideological commitment with tactical capability, Rehan said.
Appealing to global powers, Rehan warned that silence from the international community only emboldens state-sponsored violence. He urged the world to recognize Balochistan’s cause not as a separatist insurgency but as a liberation movement seeking justice, dignity, and autonomy.
Operation Baam has reignited the call for Baloch sovereignty, reshaping the narrative from rebellion to resistance. As Baloch leaders assert their demand for independence, the global community faces growing pressure to acknowledge a conflict rooted in history, identity, and unyielding resolve.
