The terror of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in Pakistan is constantly increasing. It is the strongest rebel group active in the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The BLA has been continuously increasing its fear since the attack on many high profile people recently, from hijacking the Jafar Express going from Quetta to Peshawar. In such a situation, it is necessary to know what is the military power of BLA actually?
Baloch Liberation Army wants independence of Balochistan. Balochistan is in the southwest of Pakistan, its northern border is bordering Afghanistan and the western part is bordering Iran. The BLA alleges that the Government of Pakistan is captured by exploiting the rich gas and mineral resources of Balochistan.
The Baloch Liberation Army was formed in the 1970s. But in the middle, this organization disabled for some time and once again raised itself again in 2000. Many people in Balochistan believe that after India-Pakistan partition, he wanted to live as an independent country, but without his will, he was included in Pakistan.
How much is the strength of Bla?
According to an estimate, the current military strength of BLA is said to be 6000 fighters. Majeed Brigade is a special suicide squad, which has more than 100 suicide attackers. The number of women in these is also good. The BLA adopts the guerrilla war strategy. It attacks Pakistani army, police and government establishments. Especially Bla is against the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Under this, China has invested heavily in Balochistan.
The BLA created its military and naval base in 2022. The organization also started appointing women suicidal attackers. In recent weeks, a section of BLA (Azad) has become very active.
The BLA usually damages security and their infrastructure in Balochistan. His target is Pakistan’s Army and China’s projects. Bla wants to liberate Balochistan from the Pakistani government and China. He believes that he has the right to the resources of Balochistan.
Experts say that the BLA is constantly increasing its military capacity and is recruiting for this. They have state -of -the -art weapons and military equipment. But the most dangerous wing of the BLA is his fideline Majeed Brigade, which carries a suicide attack. The US and Britain declared BLA a terrorist organization in 2007. According to the report, BLA has more than 10 thousand fighters.
What is the importance of Balochistan?
Balochistan is an important part of the China Economic Corridor scheme of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Project. This is an investment plan of $ 65 billion. Here China operates gold and copper mines.
