"No peace in Balochistan without referendum"
“No peace in Balochistan without referendum”
M Hossein Bor (Witness)Dr. M. Hossein Bor is a DC-based lawyer who facilitates trade, joint ventures, investment, and project development between American corporations and their counterparts from the Gulf countries. He also is the author of “Iran and Its Nationalities: The Case of Baluch Nationalism.” Dr. Bor previously served as Energy and Economic Advisor to the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Washington, D.C. from 1982 to 1998. He was the only witness of Baloch ethnicity invited to provide testimony at the February 8, 2012 Congressional hearing on Baluchistan. He was interviewed on 2/20/2012 for this article and the views expressed by Dr. Bor do not necessarily reflect those of the interviewer, Eddie Walsh, nor Dawn Media Group.
As the sole witness of Baloch ethnicity to speak at the recent Balochistan hearing before the United States Congress, M. Hossein Bor disagrees with comments that he was not relevant to the proceedings.
Not only was he the only witness able to speak as a Baloch, he points out that he also was the only one with deep subject matter expertise in foreign trade and investment in Southwest Asia. From this perspective, he hoped his testimony would have shed light on the unrealised strategic and economic opportunities that an independent Balochistan would provide to Americans, including the ability to contain a rising China and an emerging Iran, prevent an adversarial Pakistan from achieving strategic depth in Afghanistan, and ensure Baloch-American economic prosperity through new energy and mineral resource agreements. However, with little time to prepare for the hearing and only five minutes of allotted time to provide oral testimony, many of these points were not expressed. Bor therefore looks to this post-hearing assessment as a mechanism to share publicly for the first time what he has shared privately with Baloch nationalists and their supporters. As one of the five witnesses called before Congress, it is assured that these remarks will be closely watched by all side to the Baloch debate.
Great Game 2.0
To understand Balochistan, Bor believes that one cannot look at Pakistan’s largest province through the Afghanistan-Pakistan (Af-Pak) box. In retrospect, this is perhaps one of the strongest contributions that he could have made at the hearing.

Pakistani Military defies the world community by committing killings of Balochs.
Pakistani Military stands firm to the extra-judicial killings of Balochs in Pakistani occupied Balochistan and defies the requests of American Congressional Committee`s requests and advices to avoid the brutal acts against Baloch political activists by Pakistani ISI, MI and F.C.
The tortured and dead mutilated body of Mr. Sana Sangat was found near Murgap, Balochistan.
His political affiliation related to Baloch Students Organisation and later Baloch Republican Party. While the mutilated bodies of two political activists, Mr. Baksha and Jan Mohd Marri were found near Winder, Balochistan. They were abducted a week ago from Karachi, the capital city of Sindh.
On the other sides, the decorative democracy of Pakistan is parading alongwith the Army of Pakistan by beating the bushes by declaring "Balochistan being the internal problem of Pakistan". The brutal forces in Syria, Libya, Iraq and others had already used this dirty phrase. The so-called Pakistani politicians, Human rights Organisation and the Supreme Court of Pakistan is blindly following the dictations of Pakistani Military, ISI and MI to save their seats, powers and immense corruption.
No body on earth shall get a license to kill the people to snach their liberty, wealth and right2life.
Political issue and problems should be solved through amicable dialoge.
United Nations and UNSC and the whole world community is appealed to intervene and
come forward to save the lives, honour, human rights and freedom of Baloch people who are in immense danger by the brutal forces of Pakistan.
Sadly, after the recent meetings of American Senate Committee in Washington, the temprature of Pakistani Military`s blind anger has raised very high. The world community should not be shy and afraid before the Military Gods of Pakistan but take appropriate steps and strategy to Save Balochs and Balochistan.
