Free Balochistan Movement Launches Social Media Campaign Against Pakistani Military Actions

The Free Balochistan Movement (FBM) has announced a social media campaign against Pakistani military aggression, called ‘Operation Azm-e-Istihkam,’ which they claim is backed by China to target the Baloch people. The campaign will use hashtags #StopBalochAndPashtunGenocide and #ExpansionistChinaInstigatesBalochAndPashtunGenocide on platforms like ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) to raise global awareness and seek international support. The campaign starts at 4 PM on July 4.

In a press statement, the FBM said, ‘Reports from Pakistani media and other sources indicate that the Pakistani military is poised to launch a large-scale operation, ‘Azm-e-Istihkam,’ allegedly to safeguard China’s interests and investments.’ The FBM claims that this operation aims to further intensify the genocide against the Baloch people under the guise of achieving stability.

The campaign aims to expose what they describe as a major and bloody confrontation planned by Pakistan to suppress the Baloch nation’s fight for independence. The FBM has called on all Baloch people and supporters of their cause worldwide to participate in the campaign from 4 PM on July 4.
