 Introduction

 The nexus between security and development has become a central focus of development
thinking and practice. These two elements are interlinked. There will be no development
without security and no security without development. In the case of Balochistan, due to
various constraints previous governments could not make the desired progress in improving
security of the province and completion of development projects aimed at addressing
economic position of its people.Longstanding Baloch resentments can be traced back to the
British rule and accession of Balochistan to Pakistan. Under highly centralized policies, the
British rule ignored development, thus created socio-economic and political deprivation.

Recommendations

Effective measures are being taken for improvement of law and order situation in Balochistan
to protect lives and properties of the masses. Millions of rupees received from Sui gas fields
as royalty govt should spend on the welfare of tribesmen. Balochistan governments should
be able to help the people by weakening the Sardari system. So the people have not suffered
economically and socially under the cluster of sardari system.There are limited resources
availale for many teachers across the widely underdeveloped areas of Balochistan. Govt
should implement those steps which eliminate the hardships that teacher often face,travelling
long distances to reach the schools they teach and often have little access to helpful
educational resources.  The government should protect the life and property of the people of
Balochistan by taking steps to curb the incidents of target killing and abduction for ransom.
According to the petition, at least 5,000 people are missing in Balochistan.
 Political Measures

1. Home-grown insurgency of Balochistan is a political problem that can be handled

through political engagement, reconciliation and dialogue.
2. The Baloch leaders must be engaged by the political leadership to neutralize the
extremist/separatist segments.
3. Government must involve the political and nationalist groups in mainstream politics.

 Security Measures

1. Boost capacity and resources of law enforcement agencies.

2. Mobilize people through massive media and PR campaign to defeat nefarious
insurgents’ propaganda such as:-

i.   Propell the masses to rise against the threat in partnership with LEAs.

ii.   Every effort must be made to enhance credibile and durable relations between LEAs and
the tribes.

3. Improve security situation through competent and well trained police force.

4. Improve vigilance on Balochistan’s borders with Afghanistan.

 5. All forms of foreign interference in Balochistan including propaganda, funding, training,
arming of insurgents or succor for their leaders abroad etc., must be dealt with firmly
through coordinated and effective intelligence.

 Economic Measures

1. The way forward is not through application of security instruments alone but through
adoption of all-encompassing economic approach to defeat insurgency and terrorism.
2. Win over the tribal masses by alleviating their sufferings and ensuring sustainable
improvements in their socio-economic, psycho-political and cultural spheres of life. This
would help in bypassing the sardars and sanitizing the insurgency plagued areas, thus
leading to enduring peace.
3. Create conducive security environment for development, generate large scale
economic activity and employment opportunities to benefit the local people.
4. Ensure implementation of the 7th NFC Award, the Aghaz-e-Huqooq-e-Balochistan
Package, and the 18th Constitutional Amendment.
5. Pakistan Army should expand the recruitment drive for Baloch.
6. All stakeholders including Baloch leaders, major political parties, Supreme Court,
Armed Forces, political government, media and civil society have to combine their efforts
for a peaceful and prosperous Balochistan.
