ABSTRACT
The comprehensive analysis on “Security Challenges and Insurgent Movements in Balochistan” covers the province’s convoluted socio-political and security dynamics. The abstract refers to Balochistan’s historical struggle against insurgency, calling for political autonomy and control over local assets. Balochistan’s strategic location worsens its perilous environment, serving as a hub for transnational insurrection and smuggling. The paper underscores the Pakistani military’s role in suppressing insurgent behavior and controversies surrounding its operations, such as accusations of human rights violations. Notably, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) could transform Balochistan’s socio-economic landscape but also raises issues about distributing economic advantages equitably. The document emphasizes the importance of a nuanced tactic addressing Balochistan’s difficulties, merging security efforts with socio-economic progress, political inclusion, and respect for human rights. The goal is achieving sustainable peace and advancement through collaborative cooperation between the government, civil society, and Balochistan’s inhabitants.
