QUETTA: Dr. Sabiha Baloch, the central leader of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC), did not mince words in a video message addressed to the nation, speaking directly and without restraint about what she described as a deepening crisis on Baloch soil.
In the video, which has circulated widely across social media, Dr. Sabiha said that state forces and their associates have been moving through Baloch homes with impunity killing, harassing and spreading fear in communities that she says have been stripped of their basic humanity in the eyes of those in power.
She painted a picture of a people under siege, not just physically but psychologically. Families do not know who might be taken next. Doors are opened by force. The sense of safety that any community deserves has, in her words, been methodically dismantled.
What struck the sharpest nerve was not only the allegations of violence, but her warning about what prolonged suffering does to a people over time. The killings and enforced disappearances have become so routine, she argued, that many have simply stopped reacting numbed by a grief that arrives too often and too fast to process. That condition, she said, is precisely what those responsible are counting on.
“We must count every act of oppression committed against our people,” she urged. “It is human nature to remember.”
Dr. Sabiha went further, accusing the state of pursuing what she described as a Pakistani systematic erasure of Baloch identity not just through physical violence but through a broader campaign designed to silence, erase, and demoralize an entire nation. She called on communities in Balochistan and abroad not to let exhaustion win, and not to allow grief to harden into indifference.
The video message closed with a direct appeal to the Baloch people to hold on to their voice, their memory, and their resolve framing resistance not merely as a political act but as a deeply human one.
