PRESS RELEASE:
KALAT, Balochistan – Today, the Government of Balochistan (GOB) in Exile has sent letters of
appeal to various humanitarian organizations around the world to help the Baloch Refugees
in Pakistani-occupied Balochistan. Mir Azaad Khan Baloch requests the readers of this blog to
become proactive and contact any organizations, political groups, government departments,
etc. that they perceive will assist the displaced Baloch people.
The following letter was sent out to the list of organizations that are listed below:
"SUBJECT: Baloch Refugees Need Immediate Humanitarian Help!
Dear Sir or Madam,
This is an urgent appeal for immediate humanitarian help required for the Baloch Refugees of Pakistani-occupied
Balochistan where the Pakistani military regime is presently conducting "Ethnic Cleansing".
then, the Pakistani fighter jets, gunship helicopters, heavy artillery, and over 60,000 troops have relentlessly military
blockade imposed by the Pakistani forces on Baloch areas. Majority of these deaths were caused by military
blockade imposed by the Pakistani forces on Baloch areas. Majority of these deaths were caused by starvation,
thirst, and non-availability of medical assistance.
starvation, thirst, and non-availability of medical assistance.
More than 300,000 Baloch are forced out of their homes in occupied Balochistan. These Baloch Refugees are now
scattered in neighboring territories of Pakistan. They are living under extremely harsh conditions, and they are in
dire need of assistance. Unfortunately, the Pakistani regime has imposed restrictions on all Pakistani humanitarian
organization to offer any help to the Baloch Refugees.To get an idea of the plight of the Baloch Refugees, please
read the article, "When pride stands in the way of tears" by Bahzad Alam Khan, published in the prestigious English
daily newspaper of Pakistan, the Dawn, and also on our Blog.
The Government of Balochistan (GOB) in Exile pleads to your esteemed organization to urgently investigate this
humanitarian crisis in Pakistani-occupied Balochistan, and make immediate arrangements to send emergency aid
to help the Baloch Refugees. We need to setup refugee camps for the displaced Baloch nationals. We must
establish field hospitals to treat the sick and injured civilians, and offer makeshift schools for the Baloch children.
Friends of GOB (Exile) who have visited various areas in Balochistan have identified and recommended the
following locations for these refugee camps:
- Kashmore-Jacobabad-Sibi areas
- Rakhni-Barkhan-Fort Munro areas
- Quetta city
Each camp must have access to off-road vehicles, ambulances, landmine clearing vehicles, and rescue
helicopters to reach the displaced Baloch nationals. The camps must be equipped with medicine, tents, clothing,
blankets, water, foodstuff, milk powder, veterinary medicine, food for animals, and etcetera to sustain the Baloch
Refugees and save their livestock.
It is imperative that your organization understands that "Ethnic Cleansing" is taking place in occupied Balochistan
by the Punjabi-dominated Pakistan government forces, and therefore, the Baloch Refugees do not trust anyone of
Punjabi ethnicity who works for you. The refugees prefer to deal only with foreigners and ethnic Baloch, Pashtun
and Sindhi nationals. Please be cognizant of this fact and avoid hiring Punjabis to assist the Baloch Refugees.
Your involvement to establish refugee camps will certainly minimize the sufferings of the affected Baloch Refugees.
Furthermore, your presence in Balochistan will expose the atrocities being committed by the Pakistani military
regime on the oppressed Baloch people. These camps will facilitate visits by international journalists so they can
witness the suffering of the Baloch Refugees and investigate the ground realities in the conflict-ridden areas of
occupied Balochistan.
Furthermore, GOB (Exile) can facilitate your operation in Pakistani-occupied Balochistan. We can appeal to all the
ethnic Baloch people in the region to step forward and assist you to help their fellow Baloch nationals.
If you are in a position to forward this appeal to other humanitarian organizations, we would greatly appreciate your
help. But, please take this urgent matter under serious consideration, and propose a plan of action at your earliest
convenience.
Meanwhile, please feel free to contact us for any clarifications or details. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mir Azaad Khan Baloch
