In yet another example of Pakistan Army’s oppressive tactics in POB, Pak Army opened fire in the Duk Nokundi area of Chagai, injuring several individuals, including Afghan nationals and local residents. A young girl tragically lost her life in the unprovoked attack, adding to the growing list of human rights violations perpetrated by the Army in the region.
The incident occurred early Monday morning when Pak forces targeted travelers in the area. Among the injured is Maulvi Ahmed, a resident of Chagai Sheslar, along with several other Afghan and local civilians who were simply passing through the area. The young girl’s death has sparked outrage among locals, as the Pakistan Army is perpetuating a reign of terror in POB.
For the past 20 days, Pak forces have reportedly imposed draconian restrictions on Afghan travelers in the Duk area. Multiple drivers have been detained in military camps, and their vehicles have been confiscated without any justification. The Army’s high-handedness has left many stranded, further fueling resentment among the local population.
This incident is yet another reflection of the Pakistan Army’s colonial mindset in POB, where they have consistently sought to silence and oppress the region’s residents. By targeting innocent civilians and creating a climate of fear, the military is attempting to suppress both Baloch nationalist movements and the flow of information about their atrocities.
