Each time, Pakistani security forces disappear a young Baloch political worker, torture, kill and dump his body, they give a new martyr to yet another household. That said, killing one young man in official or semi-official (meaning the government-sponsored death squads) custody prepares hundreds of new supporters of the separatist movement. Each bullet-riddled dead body further ignites anti-Pakistan sentiments even among apolitical Baloch women and children. It makes it nearly impossible for moderate Baloch leadership, such as the upcoming chief minister Dr. Malik Baloch, to reach out to the disgruntled Baloch masses. By refusing to halt the kill and dump actions, the security establishment is clearly not backing a political resolution of Balochistan’s outstanding problems.
