Baloch activist considers entrusting its mineral wealth to Pakistan, violation of international law

 
Leading Baloch human rights defender Mir Yar Baloch has said that United States President Donald Trump gambled with peace by considering entrusting trillions of dollars’ worth of Balochistan’s mineral wealth to Pakistan, empowering the terrorist country. Mir stressed that if Pakistan gains unchecked control over Balochistan’s trillion-dollar worth of critical minerals and rare earth resources, it would only accelerate its extremist ambitions. He added that the mineral wealth found in Republic of Balochistan are the legitimate inheritance of the Baloch people and not of the Pakistani government or army, which has forcibly annexed the region. Emphasising that Balochistan is a free nation, Mir said, any attempt to unlawfully seize another country’s natural wealth constitutes a grave violation of international law. He accused Pakistan’s corrupt establishment of repeatedly mortgaging Balochistan’s resources while securing loans from the IMF, World Bank, and other international financial institutions, deliberately misrepresenting ownership of these assets.
