Public opinion is notably divided on the U.S. designation of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a terrorist organization. Many commenters vocally criticize the decision as politically motivated while expressing strong support for the BLA as freedom fighters advocating for Balochistan's independence from Pakistan. Concerns regarding U.S. intervention and the role of foreign powers, particularly India, are frequently mentioned, emphasizing the ongoing complexities in the region.

Holy sh8. This is pretty big. These guys have terrorised Baluchistan and Pakistan a lot may be now if their funding gets cut off they would be disbanded or dismembered 🤞

By the way few years back they were worshipping him

Invested power is waning. Just a few months back India was riding high on US's invested power, look how hard they are getting fucked.  And now we are celebrating being pumped up!

BLA was always a terrorist organisation and having Americans to agree to that does not change much, so I don't see much value in this, lollipop at best or optics.

Tomorrow they will just move them out of the list of it fares well for them, like how they did in Syria with al-sharra.

Better to find a permanent solution for the insurgency and unrest in OUR Balochistan.

Indian sponsored terrorist outfit gets recognized as Indian sponsored terrorist outfit globally

Jade_Rook

So much for **certain** group of people with their conspiracy theories.
Pakistan has entered a new global phase, in my entire life I have absolutely never seen Pakistan's foreign policy so strong.


This puts any lower level indian politicians, journalists or former military spokespersons who brag about BLA 24/7 on Twitter liable to US sanctions and/or surveillance.

Pakistan has always been good at diplomacy and we have provided numerous top intelligence to western countries over the years. 

In the recent case, it’s clear that Pakistan shared evidence of the BLA attacks (and a certain country that backs them) with the US at the time of, or prior to the conflict in May. Though Pak had real evidence, the spokespeople did not go shouting about it, blaming India. This was in complete contrast to the Indian strategy of attributing a domestic insurgency to Pakistan and violating international law by attacking its territory without any evidence whatsoever. 

This is why Pakistan really won the PR war, because again, evidence, logic and diplomatic tact was displayed.

What does the USA want from Pakistan this time?

StandardLet751

Credit where credit is due: this is the most coherent our foreign policy has been for years (if not decades), and it's because of the current regime.

Modi in shambles. Another great loss for India.

I thought they were already according to the US.

ComplexTell25

So does this mean the US will help us to eradicate BLA for good?

Asim Munir one handshake has put Pakistan on the global map

BassX456

I’m having mixed feelings about this. Its good that now more people can know why Pakistan is more entitled to claim Balochistan than BLA, but this also adds more to the list of terrorist organisations running in Pakistan deeming the country as unsafe…so idk

take_a_deepbreath_ok

Okay but why does it matter, USA is a genocidal country

It's slowly looking like they'll label it as Pakistani Terrorists

This is a new low on how much this govt has sold out Pakistanis for US influence. 

nashashmi

i think it’s about time we stop looking at the US as some sort of “moral compass” 
america also deemed nelson mandela as a terrorist this shit doesn’t matter

dinosrcool7

Can someone fill me in on the background of this conflict? I'd like to read up on it

The next thing you know, the soldiers got blown apart by an IED on their way to their base! Lol.

‪that was so predictable, with all that I have been reading about the situation, it’s pretty simple, trump wants to have a control over reserves in pakistan which are in the baloch region, he wants to do so that he could perhaps go against some of the middle east countries without any fear of energy crisis however, w the civil war in Pakistan it is difficult for Pakistan to have control over it thus, pakistan sort of made a deal where in Pak would be supported by US in issues against India and orherwise as well, while Pak army/govt would give them a free hand in Baloch, which somewhat is supported by the Indian government for obvious reasons

True. It's the nature of peaceful quam. 

It's unlikely that Balochistan will separate from Pakistan. The US won't let this happen.

Imaginary-Zombie3554

Yes...we are aware.

At the end of the day, these people have only one goal.

The BLA is declared as terrorist organisation by the US, EU, China and Iran. It will be a self goal to officially support them, when we have been complaining about Pak sponsored terror for decades. They are also inefficient. Their suicide bombings tend to kill only the suicide bomber.   
They made a mess of the train hijacking and the suicide bombing of the school bus. 

I did a blog post on Pakistan's terrorism problem.

Baluchistan also is in Iran too. The Iranians certainly won’t support it.

theworldvideos

Further opinion: the existence of balochistan weakens Pakistan. It is in the benefit of india to let them have their internal ethnic conflicts. If they separate then they will just turn their attention both onto india.

Signal-Grade-5047

Skepticism?

I condemn their acts. Killing children and innocent people can never be justified. Along with that, such terrorist acts reduce the credibility of your own movement.

Plus, I support the fact that our Government did not take any steps in freeing the province. Let them fight their own battle. India has to focus on its growth trajectory and human development. Getting involved in wars that is not ours will be detrimental.

And last but not the least, we must always keep in mind the muslim factor. Even though oppressed, they are still muslims. Once they will start growing as a country, pakistan will start becoming their beloved abode and Hindus will become enemies. Look at bangladesh today, they have forgotten their history and licking paki boots.

Oh please. We are fed up with everything on this subreddit being about either religion or the 56 inch tongue.

We are tired of both.
