The Baloch homeland is known as Balochistan. It is larger in size than France. The Baloch people are living in their natural geographical boundaries. Balochistan was intentionally divided up with pieces going to three countries: Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. In Pakistan again, this nation is cut into three pieces: Sind, Punjab, and Balochistan.
The Baloch nation, which consists of tribes, is the owner of the vast, rich natural resources of the Baloch homeland.
Due to their historical suppression and oppression, many Baloch people have left their homeland for a better future in different parts of the world: Turkmenistan, Middle East, India, East Africa, Australia, Europe and North America.
Balochistan is rich in natural resources; it has long coastlines situated next to the Middle East and the mouth of the strait of Hurmoz "hot water," that is the route of world oil tankers and ships.
Despite all this, Baloch themselves have never seen any prosperity in terms of education, development and freedom in their homeland. They have been continuously facing decades of oppression and deprivations by their occupiers: the non-democratic and fundamentalist regimes of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
They have been culturally, socially, economically, and politically stripped of their birth rights. And they are struggling for their right to self-determination (struggling to regain their sovereignty) in their homeland of Balochistan according to the United Nations Charter of Rights and International law.
Historically, Baloch people are a resilient and proud people. They have strong bonds with their geography, language, culture, and identity. They love their homeland.
