Pakistani Forces have seized water
supplies in Kashaf, Bor, Bashali, Sabzal Bazar, Katris
and adjoining areas in Makauran, Baluchistan.
The Baluch
residents are not allowed to fetch water and anyone trying
to fetch water is shot at. There are reports of the Pakistani
Forces contaminating the water resources as livestock and
wildlife died of poisoning after drinking water from a
well in Kashaf. The well poisoning incident comes after
news of intense fighting between the Baluch Resistance
and Pakistani Occupation Forces in Southern Baluchistan.
Contaminating water resources seems to be a standard tactic
of the Pakistani forces, earlier this year the Pakistani
Forces also contaminated water resources in Wadh, which
resulted in the deaths of many civilians.
The Pakistani
Forces also contaminated the water resources in August
2006, Chalgiri, Dera Bugti before engaging the Resistance.
The Battle was the legendary Akbar Bugti's
last. This latest offensive is said to have Dr.Allah Nazar
Baluch, ex-chairperson of the Baluch Students Organization
Azad as a primary target. The Pakistani Air Force is also
conducting bombing sorties in the area. Experts suspect
high altitude bombing and US supplied F-16s to be employed
in the bombing raids.
Eyewitnesses said that the jets can't
be spotted with the naked eye and that they have very loud
sound. The Pakistani onslaught has resulted in dozens of
civilian deaths.The Pakistani Forces are also conducting
humiliating and violent door to door searches. The Pakistani
Forces abducted 11 men from Turbat this morning following
a rocket attack on a Pakistani Frontier Core post. Meanwhile
the Resistance killed six Pakistani FC Soldiers in Khuzdar
and another three were injured in an attack on an Pakistani
FC vehicle in Khuzdar. The BSO-Azad has condemned the Pakistani
Forces and censured Nationalist Parties for their silence.
The BSO-Azad has also appealed to
the the Human Rights Groups and the International Community
for their intervention. It
must be noted that water is necessity of life and over
seventy percent of Pakistani Occupied Baluchistan doesn't
have access to potable water. Such measures by the Pakistani
Forces are evidence to Pakistan's genocidal policies
against the Baluch.
