The funeral of the Baloch Liberation Army’s (BLA) Fidayeen fighters, Osama Umar Baloch and Ahkamuddin Baloch, who were involved in the Jafar Express attack, was attended by a large number of mourners in their native village, Teri, Mastung. The funeral was held with full honors, as emotions ran high and grief enveloped the region.
A somber atmosphere prevailed during the funeral prayer, with men, women, and children gathering to pay their respects. Tears welled in every eye as the martyrs were laid to rest. Flowers were showered over their bodies and graves as a tribute to their ultimate sacrifice. The local community stood united in honoring their courage and commitment to their cause.
Earlier, the bodies were handed over to their families at Quetta Civil Hospital. However, the handover was not without turmoil, as Pak Army reportedly subjected the grieving families to violence, further aggravating their pain. Despite the hardships, the remains of the fallen fighters were transported to their ancestral village, where they received a hero’s farewell.
It should be noted that Quetta Civil Hospital had recently received around 23 bodies, most of whom were reportedly involved in the Bolan operation. Even now, grieving families remain stationed outside the hospital, desperately searching for their loved ones and awaiting identification.
BLA Martyrs Laid to Rest
Both Osama Umar Baloch and Ahkamuddin Baloch played a significant role in the Jafar Express attack in Bolan, an operation that also involved taking Pak Army personnel hostage. The BLA, while releasing details of the two fighters, emphasized their bravery and commitment to the movement.
Osama Umar Baloch, known as Salal Baloch, was a 21-year-old from Sefaid Bulandi, Laki, in Mastung. He joined the BLA in 2022 and, after years of dedicated struggle, sacrificed his life in 2025. His journey from a young recruit to a martyr of the cause has left an indelible mark on the resistance.
Ahkamuddin Baloch, also known as Badal Baloch, belonged to Major Chowk, Mastung. As per the organization’s statement, he was a fearless commander in the Bolan region, where he played a crucial role in resisting opposing forces. He joined the BLA in 2021 and, within a year, pledged himself to the elite Majeed Brigade. His selfless dedication and leadership have ensured that his name will be remembered as a beacon of inspiration for future generations of the resistance.
Their funerals have once again ignited strong sentiments within the Baloch community, who continue to bear the brunt of conflict. The sacrifices of these martyrs have left a lasting impression, further strengthening the resolve of their supporters. The grief-stricken yet resilient community stands firm, honoring the fallen and vowing to keep their memories alive.
