Pakistan’s celebrations of 28 may attempt to glorify a day that for the Baloch nation symbolises displacement, environmental destruction and genocide
As the campaign of 28 May reaches its conclusion, we once again remind the world that this date is not a celebration for the Baloch nation, but a painful reminder of occupation, militarisation, and the continued suffering of the Baloch Nation. The nuclear tests conducted on Baloch land were imposed without the consent of the indigenous population, turning our homeland into a testing ground while the voices, rights and existence of the Baloch people were ignored.
Under the banners announced by Wafaq and Punjab, state celebrations attempt to glorify a day that for the Baloch nation symbolises displacement, environmental destruction, enforced militarisation, and the systematic erasure of our identity. Entire Baloch nation have suffered the consequences of policies imposed in the name of national interests, while the people of the land continue to face marginalisation on their own soil.
28 May stands as a reminder of how Balochistan has been treated as a colony rather than a homeland of its people. The ongoing displacement of Baloch nation, exploitation of resources, demographic engineering and silencing of dissent reflect a broader pattern of oppression that many Baloch identify as a slow-moving genocide.
We extend our gratitude to all students, activists, journalists, human rights defenders who raised their voices during this campaign. The struggle for truth, justice, dignity, and national survival will continue beyond this day. No amount of propaganda can erase the pain carried by generations of Baloch people, nor can it silence a nation determined to resist oppression and preserve its identity.
