Options for increasing Balochistan security

[sparten]

I think personally that
1) Increased deployment of troops to the province as FATA commitments wind down.
2) Better intelligence infrastructure, including better signals gathering
3) More use of UAV and air assets.

 

[I.R.A]

How about .......... depoliticize the police, make it an autonomous, functional centralised force with a well accounted for budget. Stop recruiting their officers from CSS exams and construct Forces' style Academy to train and groom their officers. Military style training?

 

[Rashid Mahmood]

Whatever measures are taken, will be meaningless, unless the status quo of corrupt leadership is not changed.

 

[El_Swordsmen]

few months back more than 730m Rs were recovered from Balochistan's finance secretary's residence, when these corrupt politicians keep on looting gov. funds any measures taken will not be effective !!

 

[Chauvinist]

Seal the border of Chaman,
Throw Afghanis out.
Then raise your internal security standards..and much of insurgency will be lessened what I deem.

 

[sparten]

Thats a long term issue. I am talking about immediate measures.

FATA is not drawing soon in the short or medium term.
What's exactly do you mean by better signals gathering??
You can't possibly survey the entire province or even the few hotbeds using all the air assets at our disposal.

The one thing we need is political will. The problem in Baluchistan is more political then military. Fat kunts in Islamabad need to get off their rear and do something for the country as a change

Better training and equipment for FC Balochistan and Balochistan police

 

[R Wing]

The FC's specal ops Wings are pretty well-trained and equipped. Overall training and discipline is also improving.

Effective policing is the real key. Some members have already mentioned this. I would add an effective and swift judicial system.

The other thing I would add is external: covert operations (assassination and sabotage) of terrorist leadership in Afghanistan, as well as against the NDS and RAW network supporting them. Otherwise, we will keep dealing with the brainwashed teenagers the handlers send to blow themselves up --- without addressing the root cause.

It's like fighting clones coming out of the factory without destroying the factory.

A new Corp Command is needed near Gawadar area this will boost the security of the province & the project, but it is also very important to seal the border & monitoring of the border with armed drones. What is the point of having armed drones when they cannot be used to monitor the borders, PA should seriously consider changes in their tactics against rented terrorists who are easily able to cross the border & get full protection from bastard people like Achak Zai.

Our biggest problem today is, corrupt & treacherous politicians who are stopping PA & Intel Agencies to perform their task or operation against rented terrorists openly. Zarb E Azb cannot be won in the presence of corrupt & treacherous politicians, not even a single terrorist group can be defeated in the presence of corrupt & treacherous politicians.

1) FATA needs garrisons. The large formations which took part in Zarb e Azb, not so much.
2) More SIGINT assets in Balochistan
3) More UAV mointoring of approaches from Afghanistan.

 

[Sipahi]

Give more power to local police intelligence, IB and FIA and it will surely escalate the standers of security.

 

[Lurch Adams]

For every Baloch insurgent who is terrorized into surrendering to Pak Army and claimed as a victory, there are 10 others who know how that was achieved and silently wow to never surrender.

Pakistanis never fail to point out this obvious fact about the insurgency in Kashmir - stop terrorizing the people and they will stop hating you. It is time to learn from your own sermons.

And all of this needs money and political will, which we don't have atm.
FATA needs something more direly than it needs garrisons things like schools, roads, insfratrucrure and acceptance into the national mainstream.
SIGINT assets are of little use if no one acts upon the Intel, Intel reports suggested that an attack in Quetta was imminent yet no extra security measures were taken.
UAVs are not the Excalibur of reconnaissance like the media portrays them to be, the Pak Afghan border is too long and rugged to be surveyed using aerial assets practically because neither do we have enough UAVs or the financial and resources to back such actions indefinitely.

To cut the story short, the Army is not the thaikadar of this entire mess, the government and bureaucracy need to pull their own weight.

No one is terrorizing them; this attack also had nothing to do with the Baloch insurgency. Baloch insurgents are hated by their own people, disowned by their own families and hunted by members of their own tribe. It's a disintegrating and near-dead insurgency. The only ones that have not surrendered or died yet are old men living in some unknown isolated cave, starving and begging for foreign help.

The security forces in Balochistan are primarily Baloch themselves. Why would they "terrorize" their own people?

This thread was made to address the terrorist attacks that come from Afghanistan.
