A Follow-up
I had written a post on 23rd January 2005, Titled; The Coming Storms, about what Pakistan might chose to do to the Baloch . Here, i try to follow-up on what i had said earlier. The Italics are from the original post.

I have strengthened my belief that the military operation in Balochistan might be limited, and specific. But, it will be very high on spy lane.
very true. Many people have been abducted, and nobody is aware of their whereabouts. A clear ISI mark.

I think in the coming weeks and months the government;

- will bring out the dissidents in Bugti/ Marri areas.
Ever knew of existence of Ahmadan Bugti, Khan Mohammad Kalpar, Hazar Khan Bijarani, etc before? Now you do.

- will buy smaller nawabs, and sardars for royalties, and commissions in return of loyalty.
Musharraf himself said that 73 baloch sardars are with his government.

- will activate the 'pashtoon card' i.e. threatening Baloch that Pathans can be used against them.
The people agitating against the rockets attacks, and showing happiness at marri camp operation, shown at PTV, are always pathans.

- will ignite baloch /brohi divisions.
No evidence of that yet, other than almost all brohi chiefs being with the govt.

- will assassinate smaller student leaders.
Many BSO leaders have been arrested.

- the paki media will be brining out how bad sadars are, the foolish baloch customs, the un-islamic baloch character, etc.
It is everywhere. Paki media has told us that sardars have private jails and torture cells, that baloch are lazy and anti-development, etc.

It shouldn't take much time. Hopefully, in a few weeks, we will be hearing of royalties paid to sardars, the job-ratio and water-distribution ratio among provinces and so on.
You actually now know how much nawab Bugti gets annually, his airfare, kitchen costs, etc.

Fasten your seat belts.
Please do.
