Pakistan losing grip on Balochistan, especially after dark: ex-Pak PM Abbasi
In a recent interview, former Pakistan PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that Balochistan is slipping away from Islamabad's grip. "After dark, the state's presence virtually disappears," he said, pointing to the growing operational confidence of Baloch armed groups. Abbasi's remarks came on May 5, a day before Baloch Liberation Army killed 14 Pakistani army personnel in two separate attacks.
