Tara Chand from the Baloch American Congress urged President Donald Trump to address Pakistani military abuses in Balochistan through a formal correspondence. The regional leader detailed systematic oppression that has affected the area for decades through forced disappearances, torture, and unlawful executions. Chand emphasized that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor exploits regional resources without obtaining approval from indigenous populations.
The letter requested Trump to acknowledge Baloch self-determination rights under international law, and it asked the administration to avoid strategic agreements with Pakistan that involve Balochistan without local consultation. Chand called for investigations into alleged genocide, and he urged Western businesses to reject investments in projects lacking community consent. The appeal stressed that Gwadar Seaport development has brought military expansion rather than benefits to residents.
