The Crisis in Balochistan (U.S. Institute
of Peace)
Balochistan, a vast yet
sparsely populated province in southwestern Pakistan, has been a source of
conflict and instability for decades.
The Baloch people inhabit a poverty-stricken area rich in natural
resources straddling Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. Clashes between the
government of Pakistan and local leaders over autonomy, wealth
distribution, and the sheltering of insurgents have risen dramatically in
intensity in the last year, with implications for regional stability and
the war against Islamic militancy.
