Operation ZirPahazag: BLA targeted Chinese convoy in Gwadar killing six Chinese nationals and three security personnel
Baloch Liberation Army’s Majeed Brigade targeted a convoy of Chinese engineers in Gwadar on Friday. These Chinese nationals were working on the exploitative China Pakistan Economic Corridor. At least 6 Chinese engineers and 3 security personnel were killed, whereas, several others were injured in this self-sacrificing attack.
Friday’s attack was part of Operation Zirpahazag, which was initiated by Majeed Brigade to protect Baloch coast and target the occupying Pakistani state and its regional partners that are involved in exploitation of Baloch natural resources.
After the successfully executed operation of Majeed Brigade, the confused and defeated enemy opened fire on the children playing in a nearby football field, killing two and injuring several others. Later the enemy forces cordoned off the area and collected the dead bodies of Chinese engineers. The enemy then cunningly tried to portray in the media that the children were killed due to the blast.
This self-sacrificing operation was carried out by BLA Majeed Brigade’s brave member Fidayee SirBuland Baloch. SirBuland was an educated young man from Parom in Panjgur. He was affiliated with BLA since last four years and voluntarily joined Majeed Brigade three years ago. Due to his young age he was given time to ponder upon his decision before carrying out any of Majeed Brigade’s operations. However, even after a long period of three years he staunchly stood by his decision and on Friday 20th August 2021 carried out a successful self-sacrificing operation. With a strong blow and inflicting heavy losses upon the occupying state and the exploitative China, he gave a clear message to the enemies that the Baloch Liberation Army has the full capability to carry out major attacks at any place of their choice. BLA salutes fidayee SirBuland Baloch on his gallantry and the ultimate sacrifice.
Baloch Liberation Army has time and again warned China and all exploitative powers to abstain from entering into any trade deals and agreements regarding Balochistan till the liberation of Baloch motherland. BLA considers all such agreements as null void, and treats them as exploitative steps to plunder Baloch resources. BLA will use absolute and strong force to stop any such activities.
However, despite BLA’s continuous warnings China has not only failed to stop its exploitative activities but has been actively supporting and strengthening the occupying state of Pakistan to counter the Baloch war of liberation. Due to these offensive acts by China, BLA has targeted Chinese nationals and its economic interests in the region in past too. These include attacks by BLA Majeed Brigade on Chinese engineers in Dalbandeen on 11 August 2018, attack on Chinese consulate in Karachi on 23 November 2018, attack on Pearl Continental Hotel in Gwadar on 11 May 2019 and attack on Pakistan’s stock exchange on 29 June 2020 in Karachi.
The attack of 20th August 2021 is a continuity of such attacks by Majeed Brigade. If China continues to support Pakistani occupying state, fails to stop its exploitative projects and does not withdraw its nationals from Balochistan then BLA reserves the right to further intensify its attacks against the illegally stationed Chinese nationals and Chinese projects in Balochistan.
