Abeg, make we yarn wetin dey happen for Balochistan wey don scatter our people wahala.
Na so e be say around 190 people don buy ticket for the other side after coordinated attacks from separatists wey no gree rest. E happen for plenty places, including Quetta, wey na the capital of Balochistan. Troops dey comb the area, looking for those wey like trouble.
As e stand, many sites wey dem attack don seal off, and the thing get as e dey affect our people wey dey waka for road. Mobile networks don jam for more than one day, and Quetta wey dey usually bustle don turn ghost town because people dey fear to come out. Innocent civilians dey run for cover, as fear dey catch dem say wahala fit meet dem anywhere.
Hamdullah, one shopkeeper wey dey Quetta, talk say “Anyone wey leave house dey risk am. No certainty say you go come back safe.” E don make sense small for dem wey no wan hear gunshots again.
The chief minister, Sarfraz Bugti, don talk say dem don clear all the districts wey get wahala, but him dey vow say dem go catch all those wey dey cause trouble. Him say “Our blood no dey cheap, we go chase dem until dem hideouts.” Na strong words o!
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), dem dey among the strong separatist group, don claim say na dem cause the attacks, with style wey include gunfire and suicide bombers. The group na number one target for Pakistan wey the US don tag as terrorist organization. Dem dey yell say dem dey fight for Baloch rights, because the government dey chop the resources without giving the locals anything.
Interior Minister na Mohsin Naqvi, wey just land for Quetta, also dey talk say India dey support these attackers. E no show any proof, but e dey insist say dem go grab all the terrorists involved. Nigeria sef don see this kind drama before – accusations everywhere, no one fit prove anything.
As the gists dey unfold, Balochistan wey no dey get enough support for education and jobs, dey suffer from neglect. Wahala for ground dey show say the fight no go finish anytime soon. Major highways dey block, while road and train services don scatter. Normal day for Quetta don turn scary adventure.
With this kind bold attacks wey happen in broad daylight, the hope say peace go return be like say e dey far. Analysts dey call am alarming say dem fit coordinate attack reach capital, and we no fit ignore the involvement of women insurgents too. Time go tell wetin go happen next, but one thing be clear; Balochistan need help.
