 Why Balochistan is burning
Though the operations were ostensibly launched against Marri tribesmen in Kohlu district for their suspected involvement in rocket attacks and bomb explosions, a careful analysis of events indicate that the operation had been planned much before any of these incidents had taken place.
However, when the operations were launched, they were not in Dera Bugti district, which had been the scene of pitched battles between the security forces and Baloch nationalists in January and March, but in the neighbouring Kohlu district, which is inhabited by the most belligerent of the Baloch tribes, the Marris.
Despite having started in Kohlu district the conflict has engulfed most of Kohlu and Dera Bugti districts but insurgents have been challenging the writ of the State virtually across the entire length and breadth of Balochistan by targeting railway lines, gas pipelines and electricity and communication towers.
