American Friends of Balochistan
Right to National Self-determination is a Sacred Must.
December 2, 2011
The Honorable
General John R. Allen
Commander
International Security Assistance Force
Kabul, Afghanistan
Dear General Allen:
Thanks for your untiring crusade to make the world a safer place.
However, we are anguished over the uncalled for killing of two Baloch civilians at the hands of NATO soldiers in Bibijan area of Helmand province on Thursday.
The victims were identified as Abdullah and Mohammad Usman.
You might be knowing Pakistani military, Frontier Corps, Military Intelligence and Inter-Services Intelligence are killing Baloch youths and students in a genocidal fashion.
Thousands of Baloch have been killed in Balochistan since the forced annexation of the France-sized territory by Pakistan since March 1948.
We regret to note that over the decades U.S. gunship helicopters and other weaponry were used against the people of Balochistan.
You might also be well aware that Pakistan military long-term objective is the defeat of the U.S. and N.A.T.O. troops in Afghanistan.
Secular Baloch people, their leadership and organizations such as the Balochistan National Party, National Party, Baloch Republican Party and Baloch National Front are a thorn on the side of Islamabad.
The Baloch people have been engaged in a David-and-Goliath struggle against Islamabad's brutal oppression.
We call upon the NATO leadership to tender an unconditional apology to the Baloch people and leadership that includes Brahumdagh Bugti, "Baloch Nelson Mandela" Sardar Akhtar Mengal, "Pride of Balochistan" Senator Malik Baloch, Mehran Baluch, Khan of Kalat Mir Suleman Daud Ahmadzai, Dr. Jumma Marri, Hyrbyair Marri, and other stakeholders.
We also urge you to announce compensation for families of the two victims and open unconditional talks with the aforementioned leaders to avert such incidents in the future.
A strategic undertsanding between the Baloch and NATO is the need of the hour.
Under the prevailing circumstances, killing of secular Baloch nationals at the hands of NATO soldiers defeats the very objective of your presence in the region.
Baloch people look upon the NATO leadership with great expectations and do not desire to see their blood on your hands.
We shall appreciate a confirmation you received our missive.
Sincerely,
Rashid Baloch of Dallas,
Malik Baloch of Houston and
Zahid Mir of Columbus
