The situation in Balochistan today is exactly similar to the Chilean and Argentinean ‘dirty wars’ of the 70s and 80s. The only difference is that there the generals conducted them while here, theoretically, parliamentary democracy is supreme. The atrocities in Balochistan are just as bad as Indian atrocities in Kashmir or Israeli atrocities in Palestine. While those are vehemently condemned here, the silence on this dirty war is truly deafening.
