Dr. Sabiha Baloch, the central leader of BYC, addressed her nation and stated that the Baloch people must look around and realize how the fire of genocide, ignited to erase them, is rapidly spreading, consuming their happiness, homes, and lives. She emphasized that these efforts are aimed at eliminating them from their own land, and the root cause behind this oppression is their identity, the very identity inherited from their ancestors, which makes them rightful heirs of the land.
She reminded the nation not to forget the cases of those who have gone missing, including Mahjabeen, a polio patient missing for nearly a year; Nasreen, a young child; and women like Haseena, Khadija, and Hair-un-Nisa, who were taken without any crime proven against them.
Dr. Sabiha Baloch questioned why such brutality and cruelty are being inflicted upon the Baloch people, stating that it is because they once had the courage to resist and speak. She said that this courage and dignity are now being targeted in an attempt to humiliate the nation and demonstrate power by taking away their loved ones, including the vulnerable and elderly.
She reminded the Baloch nation of their past strength, how they filled Shahwani Stadium in Quetta beyond capacity, how they led the Baloch National Gathering march from Quetta to Gwadar, enduring hardship and oppression, and how they pledged unity from Nushki to Panjgur against genocidal forces. She questioned where that unity has gone today, asking why the people have become divided and silent.
Highlighting the current situation, she pointed out that Khadija Baloch’s parents have been sitting at BMC in Quetta for eight days, waiting and raising their voice, yet the people have not shown up to stand with them. She said this silence reflects the growing helplessness of the nation.
She strongly criticized those who label victims as “terrorists” without any legal process, stating that no law permits such accusations without due trial. She asserted that the real terrorists are those who forcibly take people, disappear them, and kill them without evidence.
Dr. Sabiha Baloch stated that while people are willing to plead before such forces, they are reluctant to stand up with their own courage and speak out. She stressed that raising one’s voice against oppression and genocide is a duty for every individual.
She called on every family whose loved ones are missing to come forward and speak, and urged every Baloch to stand with those parents who are protesting for their children and youth.
She specifically appealed to the people of Shal to go and sit with Khadija Baloch’s family at BMC and become their voice. She also urged the people of Makran to join the protest at the Hoshab–CPEC road, where the family is currently demonstrating.
In her concluding remarks, Dr. Sabiha Baloch warned that silence and inaction will remain a lasting stain on their history. She urged the nation to raise their voices, step forward, write, and resist, emphasizing that this is the time to act and not remain silent.
