Announcement of Establishing USA Consulate in Quetta
The Accuracy of Earlier Mistakes OR Hoping for Success in the Wake of Obstinate Personalities

In todays condition the Americans & Western Consular roam all over Pakistan, they meet and visit all the federal and provincial personalities but no media report can be seen reporting there meetings or visits like it is the daily routine, some media report broadcast their meetings and write some old written statements or better yet write some black words under their meeting pictures and all the issues discussed are finished with those lines.

These meetings never have a bold impact over to a common men’s life that is why they are not too much important, but like these, another meeting of American Ambassador to Pakistan about the ongoing volatile situation of Balochistan happened between different immobile personalities of Balochistan with them some journalists also were invited along, this meeting got the attention of many and even still many serious organizations have not ended their discussion about the reason and showed their disparagement over this meeting and above all this report is in itself imperative that America is very much keen to open a consulate in Quetta, Balochistan on which many formed and unformed reactions have been literally seen.
  
As per their believe  which is itself not odd the religious group gave infuriated statements over to America’s decision which according to them is to keep an eagle eye over to the religious groups and the Quetta Shura(Islamic Parliament) of Taliban and a strategy against Islam but from a common Baloch to a educated and literate Baloch all seems to be content and approved this decision because according to them if America establish its consulate (Where already an Anti-Baloch state like Iran have their consulate) then it will be beneficial as per them that America would see all the ordeal and the operations going on inside Balochistan from their own views. Baloch nation have never concealed any thing that is why there is nothing to be feared If someone who should fear this decision then they are those who in the name of school, hospitals, clean drinking water and other humanitarian works along ripping the roots of Taliban and Al-Qaeda tricks America to have funds and aids which are then utilized for chemical bombs, and are served with big quantity of arms and ammunitions used for casting chaos are tested on unarmed and innocent Baloch.

In this aspect, the brief detailing of the situation of regional dilemma, the risk of Islamic extremism, the anxiousness of Pakistani government & clerics and the intensiveness of Baloch cause will assist us to get to the root cause if we take a profound look on all of them.

1.  The Situation of Regional Dilemma & the Risk of Islamic Extremism:
From 1950 to date Pakistan has never been one’s true interest or was seen as important, but the fact is this that the Pakistani government in the disguise of friendship and with the help of American & western funds created & bred such a clot and darn it with the world political and economical progress that America along with the world have been mangled with problems. From this aspect America with its interest in the land made the biggest mistake when it was irritated by Soviet Union presence which led helping Pakistan to create such an elucidated ideology which have became more radical & dangerous then the ideology of socialism and thus this did approved to be true. The American Think Tank in the easiness of helping the Islamic extremist and jihad forgot to take care of one tiny truth that Pakistan from which they were receiving help has itself been established with the ideology of “Two Nation Theory” which in turn is supported by religious radicalism, and if Pakistan was provided with resources & given chance to develop Islamic radicalism then it will surely build such a fort for its defense that it would be difficult to get close to it.

With this mistake by America the Pakistani government worked on their interest that propagated to the breeding of Jihadies and the enrichment of Islamic madarsas all over Pakistan against their arch rival India. To the date when war with Soviet Union was on its verge Pakistani supported Kashmir struggle also reinforced and with the infinite flow of funds the vagabond state like Pakistan produced its nuclear bombs. The center of American interest was to isolate socialism from the region on which it was victorious but in that time Pakistan was busy constructing plans of plunging them to crisis for which whether they were not fully aware or they were avoiding seeing that way or better they were rejoicing the defeat of Soviet Union that they forgot about it what ever the case from this mistake the world is being punished that a distrustful country like Pakistan got its nuclear weapons. The reason Iran is enthusiastic to obtain Atomic power is because of the Pakistani Atomic program and to stop this, the world and the super power are still ineffective. From the funds obtained from America and Western countries Pakistan successfully deepened the cross line between Islam and other religions and “Islamic Chauvinism” was raised to such a height that American interest for Pakistan started to decline. 

“Came late but still there’s time”, following this example the worn-out America have stopped circling, and started thinking to take the matters in their own hands which is being seen in these recent times, on which we as an oppressed nation welcome this thought because Baloch intellectuals and politicians have always been requesting to the world to stop Pakistan which is eager to convert Balochistan into a sanctuary for Taliban that is why if the world wants to save themselves they should look into our interests and needs. A protected Balochistan from Taliban and Al Qaeda is the wish of Baloch, America and the moderate world and that is why it is being seen the first time that Baloch nation and America are 100% concerned over one interest and may be this is also the first time being seen that in this region Baloch nation is the only one that can help America and all the powers of the world and also it is being seen the first time that the world powers are changing their thoughts and beliefs  about Baloch nation and Balochistan.

Like Taliban are the biggest threat to America and Europe, Baloch nation also feel this extremism terror over their heads. In only Baloch society a faction known as Zikri by religion have a population of millions has already been deemed by extremist clerics as Kafirs (Non-Muslim) and their religious heritage have been considered as non-Islamic and incredulous, and some of these clerics have by force tried to turn them and if they objected, they were legally marked to be killed. It is the Baloch heritage, Blood relationship and political and economical balance that have so far stopped this or else Zikri’s would have faced their doom.    

The second and biggest problem Baloch face by the threat of Talibanisation is that if Taliban began thriving in Balochistan and succeeded to establish their hold on it then Pakistan would calm itself from what we call as Baloch struggle and Pakistan would get its chance to counter it with ease, Because that would be the case Taliban wont be on the red mark of Pakistan and in their cloak Pakistan would target Baloch Freedom Fighters, apart from these points it should also be noted that Baloch nation will also face the threat of Islamic extremism which is now being faced by the world. Now in these situations that on one place the threat of Taliban & Al-Qaeda are dangling on the heads of the world and on the other hand a secular minded nation like Baloch are resisting with full force and are gaining new heights which caused America and Europe to take Baloch and Balochistan as a serious matter and pressure is upon them.

The big powers of this world intentionally or fully believe that such a land which comprises so many rich resources should not be left out for these crazy Irani Mullah’s and an artificial state like Pakistan. In our thoughts we believe America and Europe now realize the truth which have been hidden from them that if they lose the war in Afghanistan then it would be hard for them to balance themselves here for long which means that all those Central Asian energy resources which turns to billions will slip from their hands, the resources of Balochistan and the main Strategic post all would be left on the mercy of others and with that China with its allies will take over all these important matters which will cause a big vacuum in the world political and economical programs and America & Europe would mostly be affected with it, Which in the end will not be that easy to be put back to place for the interest of America or its allies.

Now in these aspects only Baloch freedom struggle is the light which if becomes strong and successful can be very much helpful but both Pakistan and Iran with their joint operations are trying their best to crush it with full force. It is now being considered a war over Balochistan and Baloch nation which in fact is this that both these extremist State want to rap up all the secular nations from this region so they could flourish their culture of Islamic extremism in that place which is still being resisted by Baloch nation. If Pakistan and Iran continue their wicked acts in the full view of America and all the developing countries of the world and if they succeeded in crushing the Baloch freedom struggle then after the devastation of Baloch nation the First world will be the one who bear the most damage.

2.  The Anxiousness of Pakistani Government & Clerics:
The statement given by Ms. Anne Peterson about establishing a Washington consulate have caught all the Mullah’s in surprise whom reacted vigorously because they know very well that if America succeeded in opening a consulate then all their hidden secrets would become crystal clear and with this maybe a common Baloch would also becomes aware that on what grounds these religious clerics have peace with establishment of Pakistan which is clear cut to wipe out Baloch nation from Balochistan and maybe this would also become clear that how in the name of God these madarsas are operated and how children are brain washed to be used by these jihadi organizations. Because this was seen in past years that when Taliban succeeded to hold the Government in Afghanistan then these two groups “Jamiat Ulma-e-Islam” & “Jamat-e-Islami” celebrated and rejoiced in Pakistan and when the Talibanic government was dissolved how they lamented.

The biggest proof of their anxiousness is this that when ever they perform the 5 times prayer, the Juma (Friday) prayer and the Eid prayers they always attempt to condemn America and label it as the Satan no 1 of the world in their speeches which in turn will credit those forces who are fighting against America and it is such kind of propaganda which is to be destroyed and crushed. There is a saying in Balochi “Mahzoor Dast Mators Dil” means “Staying away from Brawling and crooking then there is nothing to fear”.

It is our bad luck that these madarsas and mosques are also being used against wiping out nations. So that is why they would try to condemn all such acts which will help to recognize their bondage with this establishment and the hidden facts of their wicked deeds that they do while establishing these madarsas and mosque to keep clamping on to the oppressed nation.

3.  The Intensiveness of Baloch Cause: 
Like we in our start discussed that if America establishes their consulate in Quetta then it will help them to better understand the Baloch national movement although Baloch national movement has its own agenda and a unique policy (Which is still intact) and without any praising or criticism of America and Europe it is still moving ahead. The fact is this that it doesn’t matter if America or any other country wants to open its consulate in Quetta or any other place will have any or some effect in Baloch Movement in gaining the international views because Baloch national movement will move on its track whether American consulate be establish or the plan to it be dissolved. It is the blood of the Martyred, the sufferings of missing persons, the steadiness of internally war displaced people and the resisting of Baloch freedom fighters that have heighten the struggle to such a hilt that without noticing it would be difficult to move ahead. But still this question is important to point out that if America is eager to open a consulate in Quetta without noticing Baloch freedom struggle then how they would react when they feel and observe this struggle.

So in this connection there are only 2 opinions that are now in discussion, one is that after the opening of the consulate they would try to pursue the Baloch leadership and pressure them to accept the slavery of Punjabi and Qajar whom are on other side of the border, which in simple language can be called as to drop the slogan of freedom and arrange a negotiation meeting between Punjabi, Qajar and Baloch leadership. And the other would be to respect the Baloch need and morally support their ideology for freedom and to help them achieve a solution for it.

Most of time there seems to be no firm response or reaction from America, Europe & their allies about Baloch & Balochistan, it doesn’t matter if Pakistan tricks them or don’t play fair in the case of Taliban they are not ready to finger the artificial geography of Pakistan, without realizing the problems of Baloch nation they call it Balochistan problem and they are even not ready to even have a different look at it other then Iran and Pakistan that is why they are still not set to see the cause through Baloch nation’s perspective. May be the person who gave advice to Ms Anne Peterson also have these thoughts that is why they told her that if Brahamdagh Bugti is brought to the negotiation table then all the Balochistan (Not of Baloch nation) problem will be solved, in this case the authorities who knows the real problem didn’t mentioned it so to mislead Ms Anne Peterson in their treacherous advice which is the cause that the problem of Baloch nation have gone to the point of no return.

In the recent situation who ever gives such suggestion than there is only one thing to say about his intellectuality “That if a person possess such thinking it is better to run away from them”.  

The second path is to mend the negotiation talks by keeping the agenda of freedom from Baloch nation, which at present is hard to talk about, but by seeing the lifeless being of Pakistani government point us to a theory that America without using any method of converse about Balochistan (Including Baloch nation) is communicating profusely and everything Pakistan is doing with Baloch nation it is considered to be a tough test for the International powers & Human rights organizations. The Pakistani authorities (Who for security reason asked America to flatten the establishment of consulate) from their dreadful deeds know somehow that International power and Human rights organizations who in meantime are presenting restless, unobservant forms & showing illicit silence will in no time start shrieking over to the violation of human rights on Baloch nation and their obliteration and when that time comes when these powers start to speak about the atrocities then Pakistan caught red handed like a thief would be left with no speech to defend itself.

If the construction of this consulate is to catch the thief red handed, to find a solution to have peace in this region & to clear the obstacle for a global interest then this decision is very much pleasing and this is important as in meantime Pakistan, China & Iran are busy bonding to promote their interest which is very much detrimental to Baloch and International interest.
