I struggle to understand why Balochistan within Pakistan suffers from these kinds of attacks, whereas Balochistan within Iran is relatively more peaceful, despite Iran being much more harsh to the population living on its side?
Why is Chabahar port better linked up by rail/road than Gwadar? Why is Iran's territory more stable and conducive for transit trade? Pakistani strategic planners have been bragging for a decade now about the importance of Gwadar, and yet there is nothing to show for it?
I think agencies need to get their act together. Russia, China, Iran are much more severe in punishing dissidents and yet they have no attacks. Meanwhile Pakistan has all sorts of separatist groups running freely - BLA, PTM, TTP, etc. Without stability, Pakistan has no economic future.
Please do not tell me that there are foreign hostile agencies creating chaos. Russia, China, Iran all suffer from the same and yet they don't have anywhere near the amount of attacks Pakistan faces.
