One of the reasons explaining why the Pakistani regime abandoned Waziristan and engineered the “Talibanization” of the frontier provinces, apart from the military casualties that it had by the insurgents and the accommodation with the pro-Taliban tribal leaders, was the rebellion in Baluchistan. Pakistani forces were re-deployed in this region, rich in resources and with 6.5 million poor, because the popular Baluchi rebellion has powerfully escalated against the corrupt Pakistani government and the ruling families plundering the wealth of Baluchistan.
The hated Musharraf dictatorship, caught between popular rebellions and imperialism’s growing suspicions sees its future, if any, bleak as never before.
