Dr. Nazar said that the workers of private, non-government organisations or international bodies, such as the United Nations, would be welcomed by the rebels. It is beyond one’s understanding why the state is afraid of allowing NGOs and international organisations to initiate relief activities in the earthquake-devastated areas of Balochistan. Having seen the destruction and death toll in Awaran, Pakistan should have called for international support, but not only it is not allowing international aid, the local volunteers and Balochistan-based organisations are not permitted to help the victims in Awaran. There could have been the pretext of not permitting NGOs and international aid agencies in Balochistan if there had been any threat from any Baloch militant organisation, but the Baloch militant leader, Dr Allah Nazar, in his media talk, welcomed the help of international and private organisations It goes without saying that the people in Awaran have bitter experiences of military operations on their populations, and a large number of youth from this area has been forcefully abducted, killed and dumped. Therefore, the presence of the military in a huge number not only upsets the population but also creates hurdles for the already disturbed communities
