Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan not only in terms of land but also in terms of coastline and resources. Despite all this, the economic crisis, unemployment, hunger, illiteracy, and innumerable other serious injustices like these are at their peak.
This is tragically happening since the country became independent. We have been caught up in these problems, and the conditions there in the mineral-rich province are worsening; in addition, there are a number of other serious issues that are directly linked to the humanitarian crisis, including forced disappearances, daily sit-ins, scandals like UOB’s and hunger camps which the list continues. The media blackout and lack of internet transmission in Balochistan, have aggravated the anger of its youth.
It is an urgent need of the hour. The government should address these issues as soon as possible. The highest on the priority list are problems with the restoration of the Internet throughout Balochistan, the complete drug trafficking in the province and unannounced bans on political activities in Balochistan.
