Killing of women and children is totally unacceptable Baloch unity conference must be called urgently.
I strongly condemn this heinous state crime against our Baloch people especially against women and children and send my condolence to Brahamdagh Bugti, Bakhtiar Khan Domki and the entire Baloch nation. Such killings must not be just condemned but there must be consequences for enemy to deter them from such crimes in future; we have to carefully plan out responses for such crimes. I call for a Baloch national unity conference and call Baloch nation to unite and struggle as one.
Unfortunately we still remain divided on petty issue and cannot see the harm which we are inflicting on ourselves by remaining divided. I strongly urge for Baloch unity conference to ch... details >>

Dr Jumma Marri’s speech at Baloch international conferences Washington DC 30.04.2011
Respected Ladies and Gentlemen,
Balochistan people’s struggle for their right to self-determination and independence, from the states a present occupying and exploiting areas and resources belonging historically to Baloch, is danger of being overlooked and forgotten because of larger conflicts in the region.
The war in Afghanistan and uprisings in the Arab states are overshadowing the Baloch struggle not because the Baloch struggle is weak or unimportant but because the world tends to be enamored to its interests or the glamour and apparent glory in supporting and tending high profile struggles.

Reply to Sher Mohammad Bugti’s statement
Read an unfortunate statement on behalf of my younger brother Brahamdagh Bugti regarding me and the Baloch international conference in Washington, I understand the reason and timing of the statement.
I would like the ask Sher Mohammad Bugti where Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti’s top lieutenant and their families took refuge in 2005 when army declared operation in Dera Bugti, spitting on the palate you eat is very unwise, if you forgot I can remind you or you ask your lieutenants who protected them and gave them safe passage to Afghanistan, who risked their own families and shared their piece of bread with them in their difficult times?

Pakistan is more a geographical expression than a nation
By Dr Jumma Khan Marri
The Baloch and Pushtuns tell here Punjabi jokes especially against the Punjabi-dominant Pakistani army.“The Pakistan army has glorious record,” they say they lost in Kashmir and they lost in Bangladesh. But they have conquered Pakistan four times; they are refereeing to military coups and martial law regimes of Ayub Khan, Yahiya Khan, Zia-ul Huq and Musharraf. “Whenever something goes wrong in Islamabad, it’s off with the heads of the Baloch”.
Pakistan is more a geographical expression than a nation, with no common culture, ethnicity or language; it merely derives from an anagram based on territorial provinces.

An analysis of Balochistan’s facts, yesterday, today and tomorrow
By Dr. Jumma Khan Marri
On 4th August 1947, a tripartite agreement was signed between Pakistan, the British and Balochistan called The Standstill Agreement in which the sovereign status of Balochistan was accepted. The Khan declared Balochistan independent on 12th August 1947, two days before the independence of Pakistan. The Khan affirmed his intention to build Balochistan as a prosperous sovereign country in which Baloch could retain their identity and live in accordance with their traditions and establish relations through treaties of friendship with neighboring states of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan as well as with India and outside world.

$260 billion gold mines going for a song, behind closed doors
Special Report By Shaheen Sehbai
WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD: Quietly, and below the media radar, some 20 top corporate bosses and lobbyists of two of the world’s largest gold mining groups have been meeting President Asif Zardari, Prime Minister Gilani, Governor State Bank and others in Islamabad throughout last week, pressing them to quickly hand over one of the world’s biggest gold and copper treasures found in Balochistan at Reko Diq, worth over $260 billion, to their companies, and for peanuts.
Before these highly enticing visits of the mining tycoons to clinch the deals, which followed intense behind-the-scene negotiations and bargaining through middle men, some highly bizarre dev... details >>

The shocking neglect of Baloch flood victims
Dr Jumma Khan Marri on the pathetic conditions of the flood-affected people of Balochistan.
The unprecedented monsoon clouds which seemed to have become static over Balochistan created unparalleled havoc with lives, properties and livestock. Oddly the droughts here are equally severe but they certainly are not because of the US program HAARP with which it is alleged they can control weather patterns. A lot of people believe that this program was responsible for the rains and consequent destruction.
Older people say that whenever there is a late monsoon which begins around the end of July is always severe and tends to continue into September as well. Why this happens is for scientists to... details >>

If Yes to Kosovo Why not Balochistan?
By Dr. Jumma Khan Marri
Until 1989, the Kosovo enjoyed a high degree of autonomy within the former Yugoslavia, when Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic altered the status of the region, removing its autonomy and bringing it under the direct control of Belgrade. The Kosovar Albanians strenuously opposed the move.

Weakening Pakistani Hold In Balochistan
Monday, 02 August 2010
Written by B. Raman
The Pakistani hold in Balochistan continues to weaken. Despite ruthless suppression by the Pakistan Army headed by Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), the Baloch freedom fighters are making headway. Their significant success has been not only in ground actions through their guerilla armies against the Pakistani security forces, but also in successfully spreading the ideology of an independent Balochistan amongst the Balochs. Those among the Balochs as well as the non-Balochs, who try to speak for the State of Pakistan, find themselves increasingly isolated. The Pakistani flag is disappearing from Government buildin... details >>

The question of Balochistan
Tuesday, June 01, 2010
By Urooj Zia
If you see the flag of Pakistan in Balochistan, you are either on the Balochistan University campus in Quetta or at the provincial assembly – or, more alarmingly, within metres of a checkpost manned by the Frontier Corps (FC), the paramilitary force that controls the province. Nowhere else in this, the country’s largest province by area, will you see the national flag. On the contrary, flags of Azad Balochistan are a dime a dozen, adorning shops, houses, streetlights and random poles. Schools in the province – even those administered by the government – start their day not with ‘Pak ser zameen’ (the national anthem), but with ‘Ma chukki Balochani’, the... details >>

Editorial: Not the mango season in Balochistan
If Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani does not understand the politics of Balochistan then he cannot accurately assess the magnitude of his success notched on Saturday by meeting with veteran Baloch nationalist leader Sardar Attaullah Mengal. In fact, Mengal’s willingness to meet the head of Pakistani government is a much bigger progress than even the presentation of Aghaz-e-Haqooq-e-Balochistan Package which was unveiled in November last year.
Irrespective of Sardar Mengal’s contributions, if any, to the ongoing armed struggle in Balochistan, the very meeting on Saturday has staggered everyone in Balochistan. Preparation of development or constitutional packages for Balochistan has not been... details >>
