💨 Abstract

The article discusses the historical and modern conflicts in Balochistan, a region in Pakistan, focusing on the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and its fifth insurgency against Pakistani rule. The BLA, formed by educated urban Baloch youth, seeks to undo the loss of Baloch independence to the British Empire and the nation-state that followed. The violence caused by the BLA provides the Pakistani military an opportunity to suppress democratic movements for change.
