‘Republic of Balochistan’ trends on X after activists declare independence from Pakistan

  • Baloch nationalist leader Mir Yar Baloch declared the symbolic independence of the Republic of Balochistan from Pakistan on May 14, 2025, in Quetta.
  • The declaration followed decades of human rights violations, enforced disappearances, and violence in Balochistan, a restive southwestern province annexed by Pakistan in 1948.
  • The declaration reignited tensions amid recent coordinated attacks by the Balochistan Liberation Army, which targeted Pakistani military and infrastructure in a campaign called 'Operation Hero'.
  • Mir Yar Baloch urged India and the international community to recognize Balochistan’s independence and pressured Pakistan to vacate the region, stating, “Balochistan is not Pakistan” and the world "must no longer stay silent."
  • Though lacking formal international support, the declaration raised concerns about regional stability and could complicate peace efforts in Balochistan, while insurgents continue armed resistance.
