Pro-freedom Baloch activists say Pakistan is unsuccessfully trying to assure China and the rest the world that the situation in Balochistan is feasible for foreign investment but the reality is far from it.

Baloch armed groups fighting for the independence of Balochistan continuously carry out attacks against Pakistani forces and installations run by foreign investors.

They [pro freedom Baloch organisation] are adamant to resist any attempt by Pakistan or foreign countries to exploit Balochistan’s natural resources against the will of the Baloch nation.

The pro-freedom Baloch leadership and parties say foreign investors should refrain from investing in Balochistan until the issue is resolved and Baloch become the owner of their land.
