It is wild that the conflict in Balochistan doesn't get more attention. The Pakistani military just killed a dozen militants who were allegedly looking to take hostages to further their nationalist cause. This is after violence seemed to ramp up significantly last year. The U.S. gives Pakistan, a nuclear armed country, billions of dollars to fund anti-terrorism operations. And, from what I understand, part of the Baloch insurgency is pushing back against Chinese land grabs in their homeland, so the conflict involves yet another superpower. https://apnews.com/article/pakistan-balochistan-kharam-attack-police-banks-separatists-8018f16dae4e54651ccfbae2b376a324
