Help IDPs From Swat, But Why Ignored the IDPs from Kohlu and Dera Bugti

By a patriot Baloch brotherSince the Start of Fresh Military operation in Swat more than 1.3 Million Civilians from Swat fled to save their lives and are forced to take refuge in other parts of NWFP. The condition of the Refugees is really bad, no water, no food, no shelter and no medicine.
The civil Societies, NGO’s Government and Common people are try to contribute in relief work for the IDP’s of Swat. I too Appealed for the help, but Question is that Why all these organization, govt officials and Civil Societies never raised the issue of IDP’s From Dear Bugti and Kohlu, even Pakistani media showed the Height of Hypocrisy regarding the IDPs of Balochistan and never showed a single news related to them, except OXFAM and UNICEF none of the NGO;s Donors or Civil Society ever tried to mobilise any help for these victims. Instead the Pakistani forces refused to Allow OXFAM and UNICEF to provide any sort of help to the Baloch IDP’s.
Even today when i asked my Pakistani friends about the issue, instead of answering my concern they tried to call me a traitor and a racist.
I had a simple question, and no one replied me. Every one shouting to help the IDP’s of Swat, but no one ever tried to focus the IDP’s of Kohlu andDera Bugti.
Should i Call it hypocrisy, Should i call the calls for help for Swat victims a business tactic, as the world focus is on Taliban and huge amount of Funds can come on the name of war on terror, Or should i call it the biased policy of Pakistanis towards Balochs, as NWFP or swat is a Part of Pakistan and Balochistan is a occupied colony of Pakistan, and Pakistanis are more concerned about the land owned by Balochs than the lives of Baloch Civilians.
This attitude shows that not only the military establishment of Pakistan but the Pakistani civil societies and general public too are against the Baloch Nation and want to get rid of the Baloch Nation and occupy their lands for ever.
Its the Time for the Baloch Nation to rethink about her status under Pakistani occupation and get united against the occupiers.
Shame to the UN(HCR)
While I woke up this fine morning, I learnt I had begun to hate the UN(HCR). The UN(HCR) has, by its deeds, proved that it is racially discriminating the Baloch internally displaced persons (IDPs). It has been almost two years that we have been continuously appealing to the international community to approach the two hundred thousand Baloch Marri and Bugti tribesmen who were driven out of their homes following a devastating military operation unleashed by the Pakistan army.
Shamelessly, the UN(HCR) deliberately ignored this serious humanitarian disaster in the Baloch areas. Worst still, we have been aggressively campaigning that the UN(HCR) should stop assisting the Afghan refugees in Quetta but repatriate them back to their country because they are criminals who have imported drugs, weapons, extremism and suicide bombing to the Baloch province. Only for the sake of pursuing its own interests, the UN(HCR) extended the stay of the Afghan refugees in Balochistan under one pretext to the other. They did not move an inch forward to help the Baloch IDPs.
Now, we see the UN(HCR) actively operating in the NWFP to assist the IDPs of the fresh conflict. If this is not racial discrimination then what else can we describe it?
Last week, I approached a few Baloch IDP settlements (not camps, because the government of Pakistan and the UN(HCR) have not recognized them as IDPs yet) somewhere in Jaffarabad. I was startled to learn that three kids, below the age of ten, had sold their kidneys because of poverty. [See pictures].
To the world community, I must say they are once again making a huge blunder by blindly approaching the IDPs of NWFP and ignoring the Baloch IDPs. This mass exodus that is moving towards Islamabad and Rawalpindi will only assist the Islamic militants from the NWFP to reach the nuclear-armed country’s capital
