Recognise Balochistan: Mir Yar Baloch urges Trump

| @indiablooms | Aug 09, 2025, at 06:18 pm

A prominent Baloch activist has written a letter to US President Donald Trump and urged him to recognise Balochistan as a free and independent state.

In his letter posted on X, Mir Yar Baloch shared the way Balochistan has suffered financially uner Pakistan's influence.

He wrote on X: "With the deepest respect, we address you on behalf of the people of the Republic of Balochistan, an ancient, sovereign nation under illegal occupation by Pakistan and Iran."

"Despite being rich in terms of rare earth minerals, oil, gas, strategic geography, air bases and sea ports, our people continue to suffer under oppressive regimes that suppress our secular and peaceful traditions," he said.

He said the time has arrived for the United States to fundamentally reevaluate its relationship with radical state of Pakistan.

"Continued blind trust in a military that exports extremism and suppresses legitimate aspirations of the 60 million Baloch people is tantamount to encourage Pakistan to undermine both regional stability and U.S. interests," he said.

Baloch further said: "We respectfully urge your administration to initiate direct dialogue with the exiled, pro-independence Baloch leadership and representatives who are committed to peace, economic development, and regional stability, under the leadership of Baloch nationalist leader Hyrbyair Marri @hyrbyair_marri
, President of the Free Balochistan Movement."
