Quetta, Aug 18 (NationPress) Prominent Baloch human rights advocate Mir Yar Baloch claimed that U.S. President Donald Trump jeopardized global peace by contemplating the transfer of trillions of dollars' worth of Balochistan's mineral resources to Pakistan, thereby bolstering a nation associated with terrorism.
Mir emphasized that if Pakistan were to gain unrestricted access to Balochistan's invaluable minerals and rare earth assets, it would only fuel its extremist goals. He warned that before long, its religious extremists would seek to impose their interpretation of 'Sharia' within the U.S. itself.
He pointed out that the warning signals are already evident across Europe and beyond, where every instance of extremism and terrorism consistently leads back to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
These comments followed an interview with Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir, who stated, "Pakistan possesses a treasure of rare earth minerals that will significantly alleviate its debt and soon position it among the world's most prosperous nations."
"The sixty million inhabitants of Balochistan want to reiterate to Pakistan and the global community that the mineral riches in the Republic of Balochistan do not belong to the artificial construct of Pakistan, which has only existed for seventy-seven years, but to the Baloch people, whose history and presence extend over ten thousand years," Mir tweeted.
Criticizing Munir, the human rights advocate asserted that these resources rightfully belong to the Baloch nation and not to the Pakistani government or military, which annexed the region against the will of its people.
He declared that Balochistan is a "sovereign nation," and any attempt to unlawfully appropriate another nation's natural resources represents a serious violation of international law.
Mir accused Pakistan's corrupt regime of repeatedly leveraging Balochistan's resources to secure loans from the IMF, World Bank, and other international bodies, falsely claiming ownership of these assets.
The Baloch people, he noted, have consistently warned these global institutions against providing financial aid to the bankrupt Pakistan based on resources that are not theirs.
Mir pointed out that Munir, whom he claimed draws inspiration from global terrorists like Osama Bin Laden, has asserted that Pakistan was responsible for recommending Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
He stated that a genuine Nobel Peace Prize for any American President would only be warranted if the U.S. officially recognized Pakistan as a terrorist state and held its military leaders accountable before the International Court of Justice for the deaths of 5000 American soldiers in Afghanistan post 9/11, orchestrated by ISI generals.
Mir emphasized that ISI sheltered Osama bin Laden for nearly a decade despite his involvement in global terrorism, including the September 11 attacks.
He also accused the ISI of being complicit in the genocide of 30 million Bengalis in 1971, the killings of Palestinians in Jordan in 1971, and the genocide of Afghans in Afghanistan and the Baloch people in Balochistan.
He remarked that if Trump ever receives a Nobel Peace Prize, that honor will not come from Pakistan's rogue military establishment, but from the people of Balochistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and India, nations that have suffered due to Pakistan's state-sponsored terrorism, cross-border aggression, ethnic cleansing, and military occupation.
"Accepting a Nobel Peace Prize from a terrorist, or at the behest of a terrorist state, would be akin to receiving accolades from a terrorist itself. True peace cannot be endorsed by those who perpetuate violence," Mir concluded.
