Leading Baloch activist Mir Yar Baloch criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump for potentially empowering Pakistan by involving it in Balochistan’s mineral wealth, warning that such control would bolster extremist ambitions. He emphasized that Balochistan’s resources belong to the Baloch people, not to Pakistan, which he accused of misappropriating these assets. Mir highlighted the detrimental role of Pakistan’s ISI, citing its history of harboring terrorists and engaging in state-sponsored violence. He argued that true peace cannot be recognized through affiliations with a state perceived as a terror hub, advocating for international accountability for Pakistan’s military actions.
