The Government of Balochistan in Exile formed
Tuesday, April 18, 2006

BSO-NA recently learned that  The Government of Balochistan (GOB) in Exile have been formed  
and on its
website the first post reads as follows:
"Today is an important day for the entire Baloch (Baluch) nation as we embark on establishing a
secular entity, The Government of Balochistan in Exile. Our goal is to use the power of the Internet
to liberate the Baloch nation. To achieve sovereignty, we are going to structure our Government to
emulate other sovereign nations.
Respected Balochi noblemen have unanimously agreed to nominate the Khan of Kalat, His Highness Mir Suleman Dawood Khan, as the
King of Balochistan. They have also selected the red, blue, green flag with a white glowing sun as the Flag of Balochistan (as shown
above).

Our War of Independence has begun. Baloch warriors have launched a low-level guerrilla-style insurgency in the Iranian province of
Sistan O Baluchistan and the Pakistani province of Balochistan. Military forces of both Iran and Pakistan are battling with us on many
fronts. Sadly, the Iranians and the Pakistanis are playing dirty by conducting extra judicial arrests and murder of noncombatant, innocent
Baloch citizens.

Representative of our Government have contacted political leaders of numerous countries and presented them with evidence of
systematic human rights violations committed by the ruthless Iranian and Pakistani government forces on Baloch citizens. We have
initiated the process of forming cordial relations with the governments of Afghanistan, India, Israel, Russia and USA.

In these columns, we will also try to respond to all the state sponsored propaganda against the Baloch by the Iranian and Pakistani
governments.

The territory of Balochistan (Baluchistan) is presently occupied by Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. On April 18, 2006, the noblemen of
Balochistan decided to establish The Government of Balochistan in Exile and nominate His Highness Mir Suleman Dawood Khan as the
King of Balochistan. The current headquarters of the Balochi government is temporarily established in the holy city of Jerusalem, Israel
with the blessings of our Jewish Baloch brothers.
Marginalized Baloch of Pakistani (a.k.a. Punjabi) Occupied Balochistan

The total population of Balochistan is 6.5 million, of which 3.25 million are Baloch, 2.75 million are
Pashtuns and 0.5 million are other races.

The Pakistani government has systematically marginalized the local Baloch population. Below is a
list of institutionalized injustices directed specifically at the Baloch:
The 33,000 strong Balochistan Constabulary has only 900 serving Baloch;
The 12,000 strong Coast Guard has only 90 Baloch on its rolls;
The famous Baluch Regiment of Pakistan Army does not recruit Baloch officers/soldiers among its ranks;
Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL), a semi-government company that is responsible for the extraction and distribution of natural gas from
Balochistan does not give jobs to Baloch youth as a matter of policy (a few hundred Bugti tribesmen, a major tribe of Baloch, are on the
its roll of daily wagers just to appease the local administration);

There are no senior level Baloch bureaucrats;
And, the list of injustices goes on.
No wonder why the Baloch suffer from a sense of neglect, injustice and deprivation. Poverty in Balochistan is twice as high as in other
provinces of Pakistan.

Natural resources of Balochistan are being exploited and looted by the Pakistanis for the benefit of non-Baloch. Army troops, weaponry,
helicopters, jets, etc. are being used in Balochistan against the Baloch.

The Pakistanis are conducting a systematic “ethnic cleansing” in Balochistan and pushing the Baloch out of their ancestral land.

There are more Baloch now living in other parts of Pakistan than in Balochistan. There is a sizeable Baloch population in Sind,
especially in Karachi. Dera Ghazi Khan district, Muzaffargah district, and Rahim Yar Khan district of Punjab are heavily populated by
ethnic Baloch. And, in NWFP, Dera Ismail Khan district has a large population of displaced Baloch.

Dialogue with the Pakistanis over the last 58 years has produced no positive results for the Baloch. Therefore, the only way to end this
blatant injustice is to secede from Pakistan.
Nation-building Role

The post-World War II nation-building of Germany and Japan and the current challenging
prospects faced by the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq proves that nation-building
requires an extensive commitment of financial, military, and political resources for a long
time.The Baloch Freedom Struggle is based on our conviction that if we persist, then one day we
will be free from being slaves of the Persians and the Punjabis. We understand that our
freedom will require us to shed sweat and blood. Even though we have meager financial and
military
resources,we are hopeful for a bright and beautiful future for Balochistan.

The Government of Balochistan (GOB) in Exile is not affiliated with any political party. We are a loose group of Baloch nationalists
around the world who have decided to structure a skeleton of a sovereign Balochistan state (later to be filled and controlled by Baloch
political groups) to emulate other sovereign nations to gain legitimacy among the member states of the United Nations. We believe
that this is a very important step if we are to deal and negotiate with other countries.


To achieve this goal, we have the following agenda on our list of things to do:


  • Establish the GOB in Exile [DONE]
  • Nominate Head of State [DONE]
  • Choose Flag [DONE]
  • Write National Anthem [PENDING]
  • Organize military force [ON GOING]

  • Design currency [PENDING]
  • Design postage stamp [PENDING]
  • Structure a Form of Government [PENDING]
  • Create Internet presence [DONE]
  • Combat Persian/Punjabi propaganda [ON GOING]
  • Bring awareness to the global community about the plight of the Baloch [ON GOING]
  • Start a grassroots movement among the population of Afghanistan, European Union, India, Israel, Russia and USA to gain
    their support for the Baloch [PENDING]
  • And numerous other activities in our quest for nation-building

Please provide us with your constructive suggestions on how to end the slavery of the Baloch people.
