Civilians in danger in Pakistan, Afghanistan: Red Cross

PESHAWAR: The International Committee of the Red Cross warns that the humanitarian situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan will remain difficult in the coming months. In a statement issued here Monday, the committee said that the armed conflict in Afghanistan was intensifying and affecting more areas of the country, while fighting and a volatile security situation were causing severe hardship to civilians in the north-west of Pakistan. Ahead of the international conference on Afghanistan and neighbouring countries that would take place in The Hague on Tuesday, ‘the ICRC calls on the participating states to consider the plight of civilians as a matter of urgency,’ said Jacques de Maio, the ICRC's head of operations for South Asia. ‘In recent months, the armed conflict in the north of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province has forced many people to flee their homes,’ said Mr de Maio. ‘'We have also seen a steady influx of weapon-wounded patients as a result of the armed conflict and volatile security conditions in North West Frontier Province and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas,'’ he added. The ICRC has stepped up its operations in order to help civilians and the injured, and has more than doubled its current budget for Pakistan, from 24.1 million Swiss francs to 52.6 million. In Dir, on the Pakistani side of the border, the ICRC is currently delivering aid to over 40,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) who do not yet feel safe returning to their home communities. ‘The ceasefire in the Swat district has enabled us to provide much-needed help to displaced people and returnees,’ said Mr de Maio. After distributing food to some 42,000 people in Swat uprooted by military operations and insecurity, the ICRC now wants to tackle health problems in the most affected areas and is also ready to work in Bajaur Agency, north-west Pakistan. In Peshawar, the ICRC has set up a 60-bed tented hospital to perform emergency surgery on a growing number of injured civilians and fighters. Since the Bajaur crisis in Aug 2008, the number of weapon-wounded patients has increased significantly, most of them with shrapnel, bullet and blast injuries. At the same time, the ICRC has begun to renovate an ICRC hospital that will provide improved emergency treatment and surgery in the future. The ICRC is coordinating its operations on both sides of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. ‘In both Afghanistan and Pakistan, it is expected that the political and military dynamics of the conflict will further endanger the lives and livelihood of civilians in the short term. ‘Their safety and welfare will depend on enhanced respect for international humanitarian law, including for provisions protecting detainees, and on a stronger neutral and independent humanitarian response,’ concluded Mr de Maio.

Baluch leader to return to Pakistan

The last time Akhtar Mengal tried to protest against the military clampdown on Baluchistan, he was arrested on dubious terrorism charges, held in solitary confinement and stood trial while locked in an iron cage. Almost a year after Pakistan’s civilian leadership secured his release from prison, the leader of the Baluchistan National Party is again trying to put on mass rallies in his native province. Mr Mengal, a prominent politician who served in the late 1990s as chief minister of Baluchistan, Pakistan’s largest but least developed province, intends to hold rallies at cities across the province with party loyalists in April to bring attention to their conflict. “My aim, and my party’s aim, is the same as when we tried to organise our protest in 2006, which is to show the world that this injustice against the Baluch people is still taking place, and yet the whole world is silent,” said Mr Mengal, 46, who has spent much of the past year receiving medical treatment abroad for a rare lung disorder. Europe and the United States “bother about injustice in other parts of the world,” he said, “but why are they silent about the Baluch?” While Taliban and al Qa’eda militants in Pakistan grab headlines fighting near the Afghan border, Baluch nationalists and local tribes have for years clashed with Pakistani military and intelligence services. Culturally and linguistically distinct from their Pakistani compatriots, Baluchs have long agitated for more autonomy. Among their grievances are a heavy-handed military presence in the area and a too-small share of the spoils extracted from their resource-rich land. Mr Mengal, leader of the largest political organisation in the province, said he hopes he can mend differences among nationalist and tribal leaders. Some analysts think the timing of his arrival could help bring much-needed political authority to the area, fractured after years of hostilities with the military and intelligence agencies. “The Baluch nationalists have a serious leadership vacuum,” said Shahzada Zulfiqar, an independent analyst in Pakistan who has studied the issue. “Akhtar Mengal is capable of bringing together the disparate groups, and can quickly rally public support for a campaign that focuses on human rights issues, particularly the recovery of missing activists and withdrawal of criminal cases against the falsely imprisoned.” But when he returns this week, Mr Mengal faces a different Baluchistan since his arrest in 2006, when the province was paralysed by a near-war situation with Pakistani forces. After killing off prominent insurgent leaders, the military and intelligence agencies, which effectively control the province, have scaled back their presence. The ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has apologised for the government-sponsored military operations during the rule of the former president, Gen Pervez Musharraf. PPP officials in the province say they are working to persuade military and intelligence officials to release thousands of people who are either believed to be in custody or “missing” since the peak of fighting. In some cases, they say, Baluch tribal chieftains have refused to co-operate. Some human rights groups credit reconciliation efforts of the Pakistani president, Asif Ali Zardari, with helping to pacify militants. “There has been a substantial improvement with the current civilian government’s policies, as opposed to the previous military government,” said Ali Dayan Hasan, a senior researcher for South Asia at Human Rights Watch. “The insurgency has virtually ended over the last year; it’s picked up a bit, but not much.” But Mr Mengal says there is simmering resentment because Mr Zardari’s policies have yielded marginal, if any, improvements. “Every ruler who comes to power announces publicly that they’re sorry for whatever happened in the past, like Zardari did,” he said. “But when Musharraf came to power, he said the same thing, and look what happened. “Simply releasing me and other people who were jailed isn’t the solution to 60 years of Baluch problems. My great-grandfather was arrested, then released. My father was arrested, then he was released. The same process goes on and on with other political activists, and this shows it’s not a solution to the problem.” For one thing, he said, intelligence services such as the Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, have continued to kidnap, intimidate and sexually abuse people deemed part of the Baluch insurgency. Some Pakistani authorities have also warned against abuses in Baluchistan. In February, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan issued a statement urging the creation of an independent commission to help find people who had gone missing in Baluchistan. “In this situation the government cannot sit with folded hands. Every effort must be made to assuage the Baluch people’s feeling of outrage,” the commission’s statement said. At the same time, the Baluch political leadership has frayed. A growing number of splinter nationalist groups have formed, including an organisation that has claimed responsibility for kidnapping in February the representative of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to the province, John Solecki. There are also indications that Taliban and al Qa’eda elements, displaced from fighting US and Pakistani forces on the Afghan border, are settling in Baluchistan. US officials are considering expanding attacks with unmanned aerial drones to counter the Taliban arrivals, The New York Times reported this month. Mr Mengal says he is sceptical of how useful dialogue with Islamabad can be. Efforts to talk with civilian authorities have proved futile after being throttled by hardliners in the military and intelligence establishment, who have accused Baluch fighters of being funded by Iran and arch-enemy India. “Baluchistan is 100 per cent run by the military and the intelligence,” he said. “Every time you try to shake hands with them as a brother and friend, they chop them off. I’m sorry to say that we don’t have any hands left to shake with them.” Asked if Baluch nationalists would take funding from such foreign forces as India or Iran, he responded: “If the devil from hell wants to offer us help, we won’t say no, because Pakistan has turned our soil into hell.”

The interview of Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri The Sunday Indian ( India's Greatest News Magazine)

˜Drone attacks will turn our wounds into cancer Veteran politician and a respected Baloch leader, Khair Bux Marri spoke exclusively to TSI's Shahid Husain about Obama administration' s threats to use drones to wipe out alleged Taliban sanctuaries in Balochistan province, its impact on the Baloch nationalist movement and the fate of kidnapped UNHCR official John Solecki. Excerpts follow: President Obama is considering covert operations in Balochistan against alleged Taliban and al-Qaeda sanctuaries. What will be the consequences if such an operation takes place? I don’t know what will be the consequences. I can’t make predictions. I am not aware how the people who are vying to see Balochistan independent view Obama’s threat. Our homeland has become a turf of war. Baloch areas in Balochistan are already being bombed. We would not like drone attacks in Balochistan but we don’t have the capacity to stop these attacks if Obama goes for it. We are still engulfed in a war with the stooges of imperialism. I am not aware whether or not such attacks would take place with the collaboration of the Pakistan government. The situation is similar to the well known fable that an Arab gave some space to his camel and it occupied the entire tent. Is it true that there are Taliban sanctuaries in and around Quetta? I don’t know. Even if I knew, I would not have talked about it. I don’t work for an intelligence agency. How will an attack on alleged Taliban sanctuaries in Balochistan impact the relationship between Pakistan and the United States? I am not aware to what extent the relationship between the master and the slave will be affected, whether the master will impeach him or merely quarrel. Balochistan Chief Minister Mohammad Aslam Raisani has warned Washington against launching drone attacks inside Balochistan and has said that such actions could tarnish the Obama administration’s international image. What are your comments? We are already suffering from a military operation. The weapons provided to Pakistan government to fight al-Qaeda and Taliban are being used against the Baloch population. I can’t properly forecast the impact of the use of drones inside Balochistan. It will be bad, of course, but I can’t say with certainty how bad it will be. We don’t have the power. On the one hand is America, on the other are its slaves, the Punjabis. We only feel helplessness. We should learn lessons from the US invasion in Afghanistan. I can only say that this additional strike by the US will turn our wound into cancer. As far as Raisani is concerned, he tells lies. He thinks people have short memory. I wonder if he enjoys any support in Balochistan or can handle any problem, but he is negotiating with Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader Nawaz Sharif. He denies that a military operation is going on in Balochistan and his statements are nothing but a pack of lies. We must not forget that the US administration has revealed that drone attacks against the Taliban and al-Qaeda are being made from within Pakistan and with the consent of Pakistan government. Your son Harabyar Marri has appealed to the abductors of UNHCR official John Solecki to release him. Will you also make such an appeal? I will try for some give and take. The government definitely will not release all our people, but I am not aware to what extent I will be able to convince the abductors of John Solecki. The entire Baloch nation is displaced. We have been condemned to live on the hills. We don’t own our own natural resources and minerals. We are displaced since Pakistan government Kalat. They are throwing dead bodies of Baloch people from helicopters. They call themselves Muslim but are making our women sex slaves. They did the same to the people of Bangladesh. They talk about changing the entire race. Today, we are fighting with guns. It’s time to improvise our weaponry.

An Unknown Nation and an Unknown Country

An Unknown Nation and an Unknown Country We are writing this letter with a motive of having your voice for a suppressed Nation who has very few people to speak for, a Nation which is not very well known in this world, a Nation which is facing a systematic genocide and is certain to loose not only its identity but also has an extinction threat from Pakistan and Iran, two countries which have no rules for humanity, no freedom of expression and no regard for innocent death tolls. Both the countries are never questioned about the atrocities they do against this weak Nation. This weak Nation is known as Baluch Nation, living a miserable life with a population of above 20 million around the world. The colonial policy of drawing up the state boundaries in 19th century disregarded Baluch claims and divided an otherwise contiguous geographical terrain—spanning from Bandar Abbas in the west to Jacobabad to the east and from the Makuran coast to the south and from the Toba Kakar range in the north --- Among three states, i.e. Iran, British India and Afghanistan. The colonial cartographic adventure succeeded basically because the Baloch state had existed all through the history as a weak confederacy which could not unite into a power to challenge the Colonial Might and thus the Baloch rights were ignored without much concern-The Baloch land was divided into three parts by the British Colonial rulers by their forward policy, one part was given under Iran’s control in 1871, the part which was divided by a line which is known as the Gold Smid line to make Iran ally against Russia, the other part to Afghanistan in 1893, known as Durand Line, Balochistan was divided without any sort of consent by the Baloch population – After the Partition of British India into India and Pakistan, the Baloch sought complete Independence, but they were soon overtaken by history and the Pakistani Leadership, which was caused by direct pressure of Colonial rulers, so that this new weak State may not get influenced by the Communist Russia, which at that time was forwarding towards the Arabian Sea, Pakistan like the colonial predecessors, forced the annexation of Baloch State, known as Balochistan- Ever Since the Balochs have not accepted the forcible annexation of Balochistan The popular disaffection has simmered from years and Balochs have fought until yet four wars of Independence against Pakistan since March 1948, the month when Balochistan was occupied by Pakistan. The Pakistani state in view of its critical dependency on the natural resources of Baluchistan has used every possible way to suppress the voice of Baluch People, However the co-ercive state apparatus, on the other hand, has increase the wish among the Baloch people to regain their Independence and they have surfaced like the phoenix from the ashes again and again, moving into higher levels of resistance in each successive appearance. The ways used to suppress this highly moralized struggle Pakistani state has been breaking Humanitarian norms and has shown no concern for the Human Rights in Balochistan, so far thousands of innocent children have lost their lives, thousands been displaced and living without shelter, thousands of mothers waiting for their sons to be shown up, thousands of elderly people becoming victims of aerial bombing and chemical weapons, thousands of sisters seeing the dead bodies of their brothers, hundreds of brothers helpless in releasing their sisters from the captivity of Pakistan army and Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Whoever raises voice against the atrocities and illegal occupation of Balochistan has to face all kinds of torture that may not be called as humanistic and the stories are quite painful to be heard by every human being around the world. As Pakistan, Iranian state forces never change their policies towards Baloch, whether it be Shah’s Regime or Khomeini’s, which continues till very day, as recent murderous acts of arbitrary killings, summary executions and hanging of innocent Baloch youths in Iran. Baloch people overwhelming majority of whom live in Balochistan have not only been deprived of their basic rights, but also have been subject to blatant repression, systematic discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity and religion. The Baloch genocide in year 1973 – 1977 after dismissal of elected Baloch Nationalist government, Pakistan and Iran combinedly imposed war against Baloch nation and started aerial Bombardments on Baloch civilians, during war Iranian Gunship Helicopters joined Pakistan to attack Baloch civilians, and even in the current on going war of independence, the Iranian and Pakistani official meet time to time to assure collaboration in suppressing Baloch Nation to the extent that Baloch Nation may not be capable to claim their basic rights, land and resources. Baloch issue is not a problem of Pakistan, Iran or Balochs only, it has become a humanitarian issue, and we would be pleased if you serve humanity by highlighting the Baloch Cause and helping us to make a better and peaceful world.

Pakistan could collapse in six months: Kilcullen

WASHINGTON: The Pakistani state could collapse within six months if immediate steps are not taken to remedy the situation, warned a top adviser to the US Central Command. David Kilcullen, who advises CENTCOM commander Gen. David H. Petraeus on the war on terror, urged US policymakers to focus their attention on Pakistan as a failure there could have devastating consequences for the entire international community. In an interview with The Washington Post (Sunday Edition), Kilcullen, who is credited with the success of the US troop surge strategy in Iraq, warned that if Pakistan went out of control, it would ‘dwarf’ all the crises in the world today. “Pakistan hands down. No doubt,” he said when asked to name the central front in the war against terror. Asked to explain why he thought Pakistan was so important, Kilcullen said: “Pakistan has 173 million people, 100 nuclear weapons, an army bigger than the US Army, and al-Qaeda headquarters sitting right there in the two-thirds of the country that the government doesnít control.” He claimed that the Pakistani military and police and intelligence service did not follow the civilian government; they were essentially a rogue state within a state. “Were now reaching the point where within one to six months we could see the collapse of the Pakistani state, also because of the global financial crisis, which just exacerbates all these problems,” he said. “The collapse of Pakistan, al-Qaeda acquiring nuclear weapons, an extremist takeover — that would dwarf everything we’ve seen in the war on terror today.” Kilcullen, an Australian anthropologist who advises governments on Muslim militancy throughout the West, disagreed with the suggestion that it was important to kill or capture Osama bin laden. He discussed two possible scenarios for catching the al-Qaeda leader. Scenario one is, American commandos shoot their way into some valley in Pakistan and kill bin Laden. This, Kilcullen said, would not end the war on terror and would make bin Laden a martyr. The second scenario: a tribal raiding party captures bin Laden, puts him on television and says, “You are a traitor to Islam and you have killed more Muslims than you have killed infidels, and we’re now going to deal with you.” They could either then try and execute the guy in accordance with their own laws or hand him over to the International Criminal Court. “If that happened, that would be the end of the al-Qaeda myth,” said Kilcullen. He said that three lessons learned in Iraq could also apply to Afghanistan. The first one is to protect the population. “Unless people feel safe, they won’t be willing to engage in unarmed politics,” he argued. The second lesson is to focus on getting the population on America’s side and making them self-defending. And then a third lesson is to make a long-term commitment. Kilcullen said that the Obama administration’s policy of reaching out to moderate elements of the Taliban also had several pitfalls. “If the Taliban see that we’re negotiating for a stay of execution or to stave off defeat, that’s going to harden their resolve,” he warns. “I’m all for negotiating, but I think the chances of achieving a mass wave of people turning against the Taliban are somewhat lower in Afghanistan than they were in Iraq.”

BRA women claim carrying out bomb attack in Quetta

QUETTA: Four people were injured when a bomb exploded in a cafe in the busy Liaquat bazaar here on Tuesday, and the women’s wing of the Baloch Republican Army claimed responsibility for the attack.

UNHCR appeals for Solecki’s release

GENEVA: The UN refugee agency on Tuesday appealed for the release of John Solecki, an official who was kidnapped 50 days ago by Baloch insurgents. “The last we heard, John’s health was deteriorating and we are increasingly worried about his medical condition,” Ron Redmond, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told journalists. “As we mark this international day of solidarity (March 25) with missing staff members, we again appeal to those holding John to release him immediately so he and all his colleagues can continue to carry out their vital humanitarian work,” he added. Redmond stressed that Solecki, a US citizen, had committed his life to helping uprooted people. afp
