Balochistan Declares Independence, Seeks Global Recognition

Baloch leaders have declared independence from Pakistan, announcing the formation of the 'Republic of Balochistan' and seeking diplomatic recognition and support from India and the United Nations. Prominent activist Mir Yar Baloch has called on India to recognize a government-in-exile and potentially host a Baloch embassy in New Delhi. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has escalated its campaign, carrying out coordinated attacks and claiming control over key provincial infrastructure, marking a shift to full-scale rebellion. The new Republic has introduced symbols of statehood, such as a national anthem and emblem, and is actively seeking international recognition and aid. These actions have heightened regional tensions, especially between India and Pakistan. Despite the turmoil, some efforts continue to highlight Balochistan's natural beauty and cultural diversity.
