WASHINGTON, D.C - The members  of the Baloch community in United States held a highly successful protest rally in front of the White House to draw the attention of President
Obama to the ongoing Pakistani military operation, human right violations, arbitrary arrests, extra-judicial killings, disappearances and genocide in Balochistan. The protest rally was
organized by the Baloch Society of North America (BSO-NA) and Balochistan National Congress (BNC), Washington D.C chapter.

Despite the heavy rain, snow and stormy bad weather the protest was carried out to make the history. Many people flew from far away to attend the rally. Arshad Umrani, from
Balochistan Strategic Forum and President of BNC - Chicago Chapter, came all the way from Chicago with his friends to attend the rally.



Andrew Eiva, who is working with Sudanese resistance forces in Sudan came with Sudanese community members to join the rally.



The participants were chanting slogans;


PAKISTAN: STOP the human Right Violations in Balochistan
PAKISTAN: STOP Killing in Balochistan
PAKISTAN: STOP "Kill and Dump" in Balochistan
PAKISTAN: STOP Disappearances in Balochistan
PAKISTAN: STOP Genocide in Balochistan
PAKISTAN: STOP military Operation in Balochistan
OBAMA: STOP Funding Terrorist Pakistan
OBAMA: We want intervention in Balochistan
OBAMA: We want Freedom
OBAMA: Balochs want Freedom
FREE FREE Balochistan

LONG LIVE Baloch Struggle for freedom
PAKISTAN: END THE OCCUPATION of Balochistan

Speaking to the rally, Dr. Wahid Baloch, the organizer and President of Baloch Society of North America (BSO-NA) and Balochistan National Congress (BNC), Washington D.C
chapter, said that the Pakistani and Iranian occupying forces have intensified their military aggression and Baloch genocide in Balochistan. Target killings, arrests, kidnappings and
raids on Baloch houses have increased manifold and these are all being done in the name of responding to the sectarian killings, orchestrated by jihadi/sectarian groups
transplanted in Balochistan to spread Islamic radicalism, to counter Baloch nationalists. Over the past two years more than seven hundreds bullet riddled dead bodies of "Baloch
missing persons” detained without charge by Pakistani security forces have been found all across Balochistan, he said.



"There passes not a single day when a Baloch mother, father, sister or brother does not collect the bullet riddled tortured dead body of their love one", he said. He ask President
Obama to intervene in Balochistan.


"Balochistan is burning Mr. President and calls for international intervention. The international  Intervention in Balochistan is long over due in and it must be carried out to save the
lives of Baloch people in their own homeland Balochistan", he said.


"How long Baloch people have to wait for your attention and help Mr. President"? He asked.


He said that the Chinese Government have also joined hands with Pakistan to kill and dump more Baloch and loot and plunder the Baloch resources against Baloch people's will
and consent. Pakistan recently sold strategic port Gwadar to China.


"We strongly condemn, oppose and reject this unilateral decision of handing over our port to china and We warn Chinese Government to not be a partner of Baloch "kill and dump"
and disappearances with Pakistan and exploitations of Baloch Natural resources against Baloch wishes", said Dr. Baloch.


He said, Balochistan belongs to Baloch people and China or Pakistan has no right to decide about Balochistan, Baloch Coasts and resources without their consent. Only Baloch
people can exercise such right.



He said, China must leave Balochistan.



Here is the
full text of Dr. Wahid Baloch's speech.

To:


The President of Unites States of America,
Mr. Barack H. Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW  
Washington, DC 20500



Dear Mr. President,





We the Baloch community in North America, have gathered here, in front of your house, the white House, to draw your kind attention towards the ongoing Pakistani and Iranian military
aggression, human right violations, arbitrary arrests, extra-judicial killings, disappearances of Baloch people and genocide in occupied Balochistan.
























Mr. President, here we are knocking at your door for help. Today Baloch people have come to your doorstep to ask for your help.

Mr. President, today, Balochistan is burning. Baloch citizens are being kidnapped and target killed every day by Pakistani and Iranian occupying forces. Balochistan has been turned
into the killing field and the Baloch peoples are living under siege, in fear and in hopelessness in their own homeland, Balochistan.

How long this will go on Mr. President? How long will the innocent be butchered for claiming their genuine rights?

How long the Baloch people have to wait for your attention, Mr. President?

In the days of communication revolution, it is strange that the plight of the Baloch people has not drawn enough International attention.

Balochistan is a fit case for international intervention. The situation in Balochistan is worse than Kosovo. International intervention is long over due in Balochistan. In order to save the
Baloch people from extinction it is imperative for the international community to act and restore them their right to freedom and liberty.

Mr. President, no country, other than the USA in the entire world, understands the value of freedom better.

Mr. President, the US should not be selective when it comes to the issue of human rights violations around the world? If the US can intervene in Sudan, Libya and in Syria, why not in
Balochistan?

Are the Baloch people any less human, Mr. President?

Is the Baloch blood cheaper than that of others, Mr. President?

Mr. President, certain facts are to be told here. Balochistan was never a part of Pakistan or Iran, but an Independent sovereign state and was illegally occupied, divided and forcefully
annexed into these countries against the will of the Baloch people. Therefore, both Pakistan and Iran are in violation of International law for occupying Baloch land illegally against the
will and consent of the Baloch people.  

Ever since the illegal and unjust occupation of Balochistan, the Baloch people are fighting for their freedom to regain their freedom. Thousands Balochs have died in this un-ending
and unresolved conflict, and several hundred thousands are living as IDPs with no food, water and shelter, Mr. President.

The Baloch people, despite being weak and with no international support, are bravely fighting the occupying forces against all odds and have demonstrated their resolve to free their
homeland from the occupiers.

Mr. President, Balochistan is burning. Baloch citizens are being kidnapped and target killed every day by Pakistani and Iranian occupying forces. Balochistan has been turned into the
killing field and the Baloch peoples are living under siege, in fear and in hopelessness in their own homeland, Balochistan.

How long this will go on Mr. President?

How long will the innocent Balochs be butchered for just claiming their rights?

Mr. President, How long the Baloch people have to wait for your attention and help to arrive?

In the days of communication revolution, it is strange that the plight of the Baloch people has not drawn enough International attention.

Balochistan is a fit case for international intervention. The situation in Balochistan is worse than Kosovo. International intervention is long over due in Balochistan. In order to save the
Baloch people from extinction, it is imperative for the international community to act and restore their right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Mr. President, no country, other than the USA in the entire world, understands the value of freedom better.

Mr. President, the US should not be selective when it comes to the issue of human rights violations around the world? If the US can intervene in Sudan, Libya and in Syria, why not in
Balochistan?

Are the Baloch people any less human, Mr. President?

Is the Baloch blood cheaper than that of others, Mr. President?

Mr. President, certain facts are to be told here. Balochistan was never a part of Pakistan or Iran, but an Independent sovereign state and was illegally occupied, divided and forcefully
annexed into these countries against the will of the Baloch people. Therefore, both Pakistan and Iran are in violation of International law for occupying Baloch land illegally against the
will and consent of the Baloch people.  

Ever since the illegal and unjust occupation of Balochistan, the Baloch people are fighting to regain their freedom. Thousands Baloch have died in this un-ending and unresolved
conflict, and several hundred thousands are living as IDPs with no food, water and shelter.

Mr. President, The Baloch people, despite being weak and with no international support, are bravely fighting the occupying forces against all odds and have demonstrated their
resolve to free their homeland from the occupiers.

Mr. President, we want the end of the illegal occupation and re-unification of our land Balochistan.

Mr. President, we are one nation spread across three states. We have been divided by artificially drawn borders, which we do not recognize. These artificial borders are separating us
from our families and friends.

Mr. President, Our land, Balochistan, must be re-united and our families must live together in peace with honor and dignity in our own homeland, Balochistan. Like any other nation in
the world, it is our inalienable right to be re-united and to live as one Baloch Nation, in our own homeland.

Mr. President, under illegal occupation for last more than six decades now, the Baloch people are being subjected to systematic discrimination and humiliation, military aggression,
threats, harassment, intimidation, political marginalization, torture and disappearances, “kill and dump”, ethnic cleansing and Genocide by Pakistan and Iran.

The genocidal policies of Pakistan and Iran are in place ever since they illegally occupied our land. The human right violations by the Pakistan army and Iranian terrorist revolutionary
guards against the innocent Baloch people in occupied Balochistan have surpassed all limits. Not a single day passes without a Baloch mother, father, sister or brother collecting
the bullet riddled mutilated tortured body of their loved ones.

Mr. President, we have given Pakistan more than 20 billion dollars in aid and we are sending more money to Pakistan. Please stop funding Pakistan, a country aiding and abetting
terrorists and using them against us. Pakistan does not deserve our taxpayer’s money.

Mr. President, we must take note that the money and military hardware we gave Pakistan to fight Taliban and Al-Qaida terrorist have been used to conduct Genocide in Balochistan.
Pakistan is a terrorist State and should be declared as such. It has misused billions dollars of aid provided to it by the USA and built nuclear weapons, instead of feeding its hungry
people. American aid has strengthened its military power with which it has massacred the Baloch people— the real and natural friends of the US. It has also used the US aid to train,
equip and enable Taliban and Al-Qaida as Pakistan's strategic assets, who have killed many American and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

It is well known now that Pakistan military and its ISI were involved in the US embassy attack in Kabul and not to mention they hid our most wanted enemy, Osama Bin Laden next to
their military academy not very far off from Islamabad.

Mr. President, We should not give more money to a terrorist state like Pakistan, until Pakistan complies with International laws, stops it genocidal policies and military aggression
against Baloch people and withdraws its occupying forces from Balochistan.

Pakistan must be asked to honor and respect the Baloch sovereignty over their land, coasts and natural resources, to honor and respect the rights of minorities, including Hindus,
Sikhs, Christian, Hazara and Zikris, to scrape off its nuclear weapons and withdraw its support from Islamic extremists and terrorists and close the terror training camps, safe havens
and sanctuaries.

Mr. President, Chinese Government has also joined hands with Pakistan to kill more Balochs and exploit Baloch resources. Recently, Pakistan gave Baloch strategic port Gwadar to
China, bypassing the Baloch will and mandate. We strongly condemn and oppose this unilateral decision made by Pakistan and warn China to not be a part of the Baloch killing.
Moreover, Pakistan has no right to make any deal against the Baloch wishes because it about their land and resources. Only Baloch people have the right to exercise such right.
China must leave Balochistan. China's presence in Gwadar is not good for the US interests and the interests of the world community. A free and independent Balochistan would
rather welcome the US control of Gwadar port in exchange of the US helps to Baloch in their struggle for freedom and justice. The US has championed the values of freedom and
dignity all throughout history and its support for the Baloch struggle will reinforce its commitment to these eternal values once again.

Mr. President, Baloch people are fighting their war of independence. They are not fighting this war for themselves alone but for the entire region and world community against the
Pakistani and Iranian Islamic extremists and terrorists, who wants to use Balochistan as a safe heaven and use strategic Gwadar port as a launching pad against the US interest in
the region to block the strait of Hormuz with the help of China and terrorize the civilized world.

Mr. President, Baloch must win this war. Losing this war is not an option. If Baloch lose, we all lose to terrorists and extremists and Chinese expansion in the region.

Mr. President, We strongly believe that a FREE, United, Democratic and Independent Balochistan is the answer to all the problems that the US and the world community are facing in
the region. It will not only protect the US interests in the region, but will also help to secure the Strait of Hormuz from Iranian threats, help stabilize Afghanistan by eliminating and
eradicating terrorists safe heavens in Balochistan (provided to Taliban and Al-Qaida by the Pakistan's army) and it will help build peace and stability in the entire region spanning
from the Mediterranean to the Bay of Bengal and beyond.

Mr. President, we are asking for your help. Please ask the state department and CIA to reach out to the Baloch freedom fighters and help them in their fight for freedom and justice. If
we can reach out to Syrian freedom fighters why can’t we reach out to the Baloch freedom fighters in the interest of the larger cause of human freedom and liberty? If the USA cannot
do it, who else will? We must not be silent spectators and watch helplessly as an entire community is being wiped out by the inhuman policies of rogue governments.


Thank you Mr. President.
