		It is geographically the largest of the four provinces at 347,190 km² and composes 42% of the total land area of Pakistan.
		The Baloch tribes have been the most prone to rebellion in Pakistan, in part due to their fiercely independent lifestyle as well as complaints at the lack of development and attention from the central government in Islamabad.
		Due to the nature of Pakistan's parliamentary-style government, political power is often shared at various levels and the recent election of the Balochistan-born Zafarullah Khan Jamali to the post of Prime Minister is an indication of the growing role of the province in national affairs.

		They feel that Baluchistan existed as a nation, and has merely been occupied by Pakistan, a situation that the international community continues to ignore, focusing its relations with Pakistan on the war on terror, and the vexed issue of Kashmir.

		The goal of GOB (Exile) is to liberate Balochistan from the Islamic Republics of Iran and Pakistan, and negotiate amicably with the Afghan rulers to demark borders between Afghanistan and the soon-to-be sovereign Balochistan.

		Baluchistan and the Baluchis have a long history of heroic deeds in the face of its adversaries and resistance to external power.
		The British learnt their lesson after the internecine tribal wars in Baluchistan and started administering the province by dividing it into A and B Areas: ‘A’ areas were directly controlled and administered by the British (through a Regent to the Viceroy), whereas in the ‘B’ areas the British exercised proxy control through the princely Sardars.
		All such factors warrant Pakistan to tread extremely cautiously in the ‘troubled’ waters and take well considered and calculated measures for the security of the region which could only be ensured through establishing the writ of the government in the province by winning over the Balochis diplomatically and peacefully.
