Pakistan on Brink of Disintegration: Sindh, Baloch, Pashtun Movements Intensify
- •Pakistan faces severe internal unrest with Balochistan, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) pushing for separation.
- •Balochistan is in a 'final war for freedom' due to alleged forced occupation, resource exploitation, and over 20,000 'missing persons'. BLA launched 'Operation Herof 2.0' with major attacks in January 2026.
- •Sindh's rebellion is driven by cultural and linguistic identity concerns, water allocation issues, and the 'Sindhudesh' movement gaining momentum with large rallies and calls for UN recognition.
- •KPK sees rising Pashtun nationalism, human rights abuses, and the banned PTM gaining international support. TTP, operating from Afghanistan, is escalating attacks and coordinating with BLA.
- •Punjab, though dominant, faces isolation and potential internal fissures if other provinces secede, weakening the entire nation.
Why It Matters: Deep-seated ethnic and regional grievances are pushing Pakistan towards a potential four-way split.
