BLA’s systematic abuse of Baloch boys continues unabated, with fresh evidence highlighting the group’s ongoing exploitation of underage children in Balochistan. Under the guise of nationalism, the banned terrorist organisation known as Fitna al-Hindustan (BLA) is deliberately targeting young boys, subjecting them to drug addiction, psychological manipulation, and militant indoctrination, while much of the world remains silent.
Sources confirm that the BLA deliberately targets vulnerable, impressionable boys, often from impoverished or displaced communities, coercing them into drug addiction as a tool for psychological manipulation. Once mentally destabilised, these minors are sent into remote mountainous regions, where they are trained as suicide bombers or used in dangerous sabotage missions involving grenade attacks and weapons transport.
Adding another layer of depravity, several cases have surfaced where Baloch women were blackmailed using compromising videos, recorded without consent, and coerced into supporting BLA operations or remaining silent. These tactics reflect a calculated effort to dismantle the moral and social fabric of Baloch society under the pretense of “freedom struggle.”
Despite arrests and FIRs against underage fighters, some advocacy groups continue to shield them under the guise of child rights, only to see them recycled back into militant ranks—rearmed, re-radicalised, and re-abused.
The question remains: why do self-proclaimed human rights defenders and civil society voices turn a blind eye when the victims are Baloch children and women?
While FAH leads this wave of cruelty, Fitna al-Khawarij (FAK), the banned TTP, has employed similar strategies in tribal areas. It is well-documented that FAK not only brainwashes children for militant activity but also engages in sexual exploitation of boys, particularly in isolated training camps.
Disturbingly, there is increasing evidence of sexual exploitation of young boys within the camps of Fitna al-Khawarij (FAK), the banned TTP. Several recent incidents suggest that rival factions within the group have clashed over control of these exploited minors, highlighting a disturbing trend of abuse and dehumanisation. These revelations expose not only the moral collapse within FAK ranks but also the group’s systematic use of coercion and violence to break down individual dignity in pursuit of its extremist agenda.
The time has come to expose and confront this double standard. These aren’t isolated crimes, they are part of a calculated campaign to rob a generation of its future, its identity, and its humanity.
