When Dr. Mahrang Baloch was a teenager, she joined hundreds of families across Pakistan's southwestern province of Balochistan to search for her father, who had disappeared. Activists and rights groups say thousands of ethnic Baloch people have disappeared over the past two decades, alleging many were detained by security forces, tortured and killed as part of operations against a long-running separatist movement. After three years of being missing, Mahrang's family received a call telling them that her father's body had been found. This led Mahrang herself becoming a campaigner, leading protests and marches demanding information about missing persons in Balochistan. But last year she was arrested and she has now been sentenced to life in prison. Farhat Javed of BBC Urdu tells her story. As the group stage of the World Cup comes to a close, Cape Verde, a tiny nation off the coast of West Africa, is celebrating a remarkable achievement. It's their first ever time at the tournament, but the Blue Sharks, as their team is known, have made it out of the group stage with a series of strong performances where they have held big teams like Spain and Uruguay to account. Meanwhile, in South Korea, a much more seasoned squad packed with international talent have arrived home in defeat after losing to teams their critics feel they should have beaten. The fallout has been painful. Paul Njie, journalist with BBC West Africa and Jake Kwon, Seoul Correspondent for BBC News, reflect.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Months after Operation Epic Fury, Iran's leadership is reportedly still operating from bunkers and secret hideouts, with regime paranoia and communication breakdowns now slowing negotiations with Washington. New reporting suggests Iran's supreme leader is relying on a secret courier network to communicate as fears of Israeli and American intelligence penetration continue gripping the regime. British forces are reportedly preparing for a possible mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if a peace agreement with Iran moves forward. The operation could involve autonomous mine-hunting systems designed to clear one of the world's most strategically vital shipping lanes. A devastating suicide bombing targeting a train carrying Pakistani security personnel and their families kills more than 30 people in Pakistan's volatile Balochistan province, marking another escalation in the region's growing separatist insurgency. And in today's Back of the Brief—another sign of warming relations between Washington and Caracas as the head of U.S. Southern Command visits Venezuela while Marines conduct a dramatic embassy response drill in the capital.

In Bahrain, the High Criminal Court has sentenced nine people to life in prison for collaborating with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. At least 16 people have been killed in a bomb blast on a railway track in Quetta, Pakistan. The explosion on Sunday is the latest in a series of attacks in Balochistan province, which borders Iran and Afghanistan. Syria's parliament is set to meet for the first time since the downfall of former president Bashar Al Assad, after elections were held in areas the government recently regained from Kurdish-led fighters.

VOV1 - Pakistan đã mở 6 tuyến vận tải đường bộ kết nối các cảng lớn của nước này với Iran nhằm giảm áp lực cho hoạt động thương mại khu vực trong bối cảnh vận tải biển qua Vùng Vịnh gặp nhiều gián đoạn.Biện pháp khẩn cấp này đã được Bộ Thương mại Pakistan thông báo thông qua một văn bản pháp quy, cụ thể là “Nghị định về vận chuyển hàng hóa quá cảnh qua lãnh thổ Pakistan năm 2026”, cho phép hàng hóa từ các nước thứ ba được vận chuyển quá cảnh qua lãnh thổ Pakistan bằng đường bộ để vào Iran. Quy định có hiệu lực ngay khi thông báo được ban hành ngày 25/4. Theo đó, sẽ có 6 tuyến đường kết nối các cảng lớn của Pakistan với 2 cửa khẩu biên giới của Iran là Gabd và Taftan. Những tuyến đường này sẽ đi qua tỉnh tây nam Balochistan giáp với Iran.Động thái được đưa ra sau khi hoạt động hàng hải liên quan đến Iran bị ảnh hưởng bởi các biện pháp kiểm soát và hạn chế mới trên các tuyến vận tải quốc tế, khiến khoảng 3.000 container hàng hóa bị ùn ứ tại các cảng Karachi và Gwadar của Pakistan.Giới chức Pakistan cho biết tuyến từ cảng Gwadar đến cửa khẩu Gabd được xem là hành lang trọng điểm khi chỉ mất khoảng 2–3 giờ để tiếp cận biên giới Iran, nhanh hơn đáng kể so với hành trình khoảng 18 giờ từ Karachi. Chi phí logistics theo đó có thể giảm tới hơn 50%.Bộ trưởng Thương mại Pakistan Jam Kamal Khan nhận định đây là bước tiến quan trọng đối với thương mại khu vực, đồng thời kỳ vọng sáng kiến này sẽ giúp gia tăng vai trò của cảng Gwadar – dự án hạ tầng chiến lược vốn nhiều năm chưa khai thác hết tiềm năng.Quyết định mở hành lang đường bộ được đưa ra đúng thời điểm Ngoại trưởng Iran Abbas Araghchi thăm Islamabad và có các cuộc gặp với Thủ tướng Shehbaz Sharif cùng Tổng tư lệnh quân đội Pakistan, Tướng Asim Munir. Nội dung thảo luận chính của các cuộc gặp tập trung vào tình hình căng thẳng Mỹ-Iran và các nỗ lực ngoại giao nhằm hạ nhiệt xung đột.Theo giới phân tích, việc mở rộng tuyến vận tải đường bộ không chỉ mang ý nghĩa kinh tế mà còn giúp Pakistan củng cố vai trò trung gian trong các vấn đề khu vực. Tuy nhiên, vấn đề an ninh vẫn là thách thức lớn khi các tuyến đường mới đi qua nhiều khu vực nhạy cảm ở tỉnh Balochistan – nơi thường xuyên xảy ra các vụ bạo lực ly khai và tấn công nhằm vào hạ tầng giao thông./.Đình Nam/VOV Ấn ĐộPakistan mở 6 tuyến đường bộ, cho phép hàng hóa từ nước thứ 3 quá cảnh tới Iran

Civil War in China - Full Expose | Pakistan has Lost KP, Balochistan | India - America | GenPRShankar
In late January and early February this year, coordinated attacks across multiple districts in Pakistan's Balochistan province marked one of the most intense phases of violence in decades. The Balochistan Liberation Army described the offensive as Operation Herof Phase II—a “Black Storm”—involving simultaneous strikes on security installations, transport routes, and administrative targets. For Pakistan's security establishment, the attacks raise urgent questions about control, intelligence, and the protection of strategic assets. For the region more broadly, they have revived long-standing debates about political marginalization, economic exclusion, and the unresolved history of Balochistan's integration into the Pakistani state. So what exactly is unfolding in Balochistan? Is this a turning point in a decades-old insurgency, or a sharper expression of a conflict that was never truly resolved? And what does the latest escalation mean for regional stability, foreign investment, and the prospects, if any, of a political solution?

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group's Afghanistan expert Ibraheem Bahiss and South Asia director Samina Ahmed about clashes this week between Afghan and Pakistani forces. Richard first speaks with Ibraheem about what triggered the latest confrontation, including reported Pakistani strikes on Pakistani militants, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), in Kabul and in border regions. They trace the strained relations between Kabul and Islamabad and why the Taliban authorities struggle to address Pakistan's concerns – with Islamabad accusing the Kabul authorities of sheltering the TTP and allowing cross-border attacks – even as they have reined in other foreign militants. Richard then turns to Samina to discuss the spike in militant violence in Pakistan's western regions, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, how Islamabad views possible rapprochement between the Taliban and India, Islamabad's broader foreign relations – including a defence pact with Saudi Arabia and warmer ties to Washington – and the risk of further clashes.Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

In the last two decades thousands of men have disappeared in Balochistan, Pakistan's largest region. Activists and some of their families accuse the Pakistani authorities of enforced disappearances and extra-judicial killings. The government is fighting an insurgency in the region, but denies any involvement in the disappearances. It says some of the missing men have joined militant groups or have simply left the province. Mutilated bodies have continued to turn up, including in mass graves.Farhat Javed reports on Balochistan's Women of the Vanished - the mothers and daughters left behind who are still searching for their missing loved ones.
