According to the BLF, it developed KAAD into an organised combat unit after years of training and preparation. The group said its armed struggle was linked to allegations of enforced disappearances and rights violations in Balochistan.
Baloch Leaders Thank International Media
Earlier on August 11, Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch had called on countries to recognise Balochistan as an independent country. In a statement marking Balochistan’s Independence Day, Mir said the struggle has now moved beyond celebrating independence. He emphasised that the movement now seeks legal, political, diplomatic, and moral recognition from the international community.
Describing Pakistan’s political and military presence in the region as "cancer-like”, Balochistan had thanked international media, especially Indian media, along with researchers, think tanks, writers, poets, students, lawyers, civil society members, business groups, religious leaders and parliamentarians for raising the issue of Balochistan.
