Pakistan is the place of a less-known conflict between Baluch national movements and federal government in Islamabad, which bear deeply on geopolitics in the region. Pakistani federal forces have been trying to suppress Balochi national movements for more than 50 years. Its aim was to replace Baluch identity with Pakistani, or at least muslim one, by force. The goal hasn’t been reached so far, with most attempts being counter-productive in its re-sults. Moreover, the conflict made national movement switch from mainly political one to national insurgency. The main factor of the conflict is Pakistani government and military’s disregard for Baluchis economical, political and cultural aims.
