In 1948, Soon after the creation of Pakistan, Pakistan invaded the
sovereign independent state of Balochistan and forcefully annexed it
into Pakistan. Balochistan, rich in oil, gas and minerals with a 900
miles of strategically located warm water coastline is under the
Pakistani illegal occupation for the last 60 years. Ever since, the Baloch
people have fought and are still are fighting against the illegal
occupation of their land and the exploitations of their resources and to
restore their freedom back. Thousands Baloch have died in this war.
Many are missing and thousand Baloch families including women and
children have been made homeless due to Pakistani bombardments
and they are living under harsh conditions.
Shortly after the murder of top Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar
Khan Bugti by Pakistani military in Aug 2006, Khan of Kalat Mir
Suleman Dawood Khan called upon the "Grand Balochi Jirga", which
was attended by all Baloch tribal leaders, Political activists, and
students. The Grand Balochi Jirga (gathering) denounced the
Pakistani military operation in Balochistan and extra judicial killing of
Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti and they unanimously made a declaration to
challenge the illegal occupation of Balochistan at the International
Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague.
