Why Allah Nazar Baloch’s Call for Women to Take Up Arms Reflects Desperation, Not Strength
In a recent audio message, Dr. Allah Nazar Baloch, the chief of the banned Baloch Liberation Front (BLF), urged Baloch women to “take up weapons” and join the fight against the state of Pakistan.
“If women can fly planes, they can also fight,” he declared — a statement that exposes not power, but deep frustration and moral decay inside the terror movement.
Experts say this call highlights the declining strength, fractured leadership, and desperation of Baloch militant networks that have suffered severe setbacks in recent years.
A Weakening terrorist Movement
Security operations in southern Balochistan — especially in the Makran region — have drastically reduced the BLF’s ability to carry out attacks.
Many commanders have been neutralized, hideouts dismantled, and financial networks disrupted.
As their strength fades, militant leaders like Allah Nazar are turning to new, dangerous recruitment tactics — including the exploitation of women and students — to keep their ideology alive.
The Rise of Female Militancy
Banned outfits such as the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and its Majeed Brigade have already weaponized women in recent years:
-
2022: Shari Baloch attacked Chinese nationals at Karachi University.
-
2023: Samiya Qalandrani targeted security forces in Turbat.
-
2024: Mahil Baloch carried out a suicide attack in Bela.
These incidents reveal how militant groups are using women to fill recruitment gaps and attract attention — a strategy born of desperation, not ideology.
From Social Mobilization to Exploitation
For years, Allah Nazar Baloch relied on digital and social platforms like the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) to push his narrative under the guise of rights activism.
But as public sentiment shifted toward peace and development, these groups lost credibility and ground support.
Former terrorist commanders like Gulzar Imam Shambay and Sarfaraz Bangulzai have since exposed how such organizations exploited youth and women, sending them into violence while leaders stayed abroad.
Women Leading a Different Fight
Ironically, while Allah Nazar calls on women to pick up arms, Baloch women are already leading a far more powerful revolution — in education, governance, and public service.
Figures like Deputy Commissioner Humeira Baloch, Deputy Commissioner Ayesha Zehri, and Deputy Commissioner Sana Mahjabeen Umrani symbolize the real empowerment taking root across the province.
These women are shaping a future grounded in education, dignity, and peace, not violence.
A Cry of Desperation
Allah Nazar Baloch’s appeal is not a sign of empowerment — it is a cry of despair from a fading insurgency struggling to stay relevant.
Once seen as a powerful militant leader, he now resorts to emotional rhetoric and failed propaganda.
Former Banned outfits commaders like Gulzar Imam Shambay and Sarfaraz Bangulzai have since exposed how such organizations exploited youth and women, sending them into violence while leaders stayed abroad.
The Baloch people, particularly its women, are no longer swayed by violence. They are choosing the path of peace, education, and development, rebuilding the province one classroom and office at a time.
Allah Nazar’s call for women to fight does not mark a new phase of the insurgency — it marks its collapse.
When a movement turns to women not to empower them, but to use them, it has already lost its purpose and future.
Balochistan’s women are no longer the fuel of conflict — they are the leaders of change.
