Baloch leaders to meet US President Donald Trump: Report

Exiled Baloch political leaders and activists will soon be meeting US President  Donald Trump.

The meeting has been confirmed by the top leadership of exiled Baloch leaders, according to news agency ANI. 

The Baloch leaders are likely to ask President Trump to terminate  American military and economic aid to Pakistan in view of Islamabad's widespread abuse of  Baloch people.

They are also expected to highlight their concerns over the genocide of the Baloch community, including women and children, by the Pakistan Army. 

"Our demand from the US administration is to stop funding Pakistan in the name of fighting terrorism because, the funds given by the US  are being used against the Baloch instead of  terrorists." Azizullah Bugti, an activist associated with the Baloch Republican Party, said.

"President Trump should not ignore the worst human rights violations in Balochistan being committed by the Pakistan armed forces and her religious proxies," he added.

Another Baloch activist from France, Munir Mengal, said, "President Trump must curb the nests of religious terrorists inside Pakistan for which US-led allied forces need to intervene".

"Mr. Trump is a bold USPresident and he must help the Baloch people regain their sovereignty and must end Pakistani occupation. In order to fulfil the UN basic human rights laws, the US must intervene to stop military operations, aerial bombardments, enforced disappearances of the Baloch people by the Pakistani security forces,” he added.
