Tensions are rising as Baloch separatist leader Mir Yar Baloch declares what he calls the “Republic of Balochistan” independent and demands international recognition. In an August 11 Independence Day message, the separatist leadership claims Balochistan was independent in 1947 and says it should no longer be described as a province of Pakistan. The statement also thanks Indian media, researchers and think tanks for highlighting the Baloch cause, while urging the United Nations, ASEAN, African Union, OIC and European nations to support its demand for recognition. The group says it is preparing institutions for a future state, including passports, currency and diplomatic missions. It also accuses Pakistani authorities of blocking Independence Day celebrations through internet shutdowns and security measures. But there is a major catch: these are separatist claims, and the so-called Republic of Balochistan is NOT recognised by Pakistan or the international community. Balochistan
