In a bold move, Baloch nationalist leader Mir Yar Baloch has declared the symbolic independence of the Republic of Balochistan from Pakistan. In a bold message on X, he urged India and the United Nations to recognize Balochistan as a sovereign nation. He denounced Pakistan’s decades-long oppression of Balochs and called out global silence. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) also pledged support to India after the Pahalgam terror attack. This marks a major shift in the region’s geopolitical dynamics.
