Baloch Insurgency from Nationalism to Islam

from Meraj’s Newsletter Podcast · host Meraj Sirajuddin

There is an Ayah in the Quran which is of great significance."لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍYou will most certainly enter one state after another.- Quran Surah Inshiqaq 84:19"When we look at Muslim movements in light of the above ayah we find that Southern Yemen was Communist back in 70's. [1] This part of Yemen which Prophet (ﷺ) said: "𝐀𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞-𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧-𝐀𝐛𝐲𝐚𝐧,Yemen They will aid Allaah and His Messenger; they are the best between myself and them." [2]"I mean Subhan Allah this specific part of Yemen Muhammed (ﷺ) talks about was communist, but now it’s a hotbed of Islamist insurgency. [3] Similarly the Azawad region in Northern Mali started out with Tuareg Nationalism which was fighting against Injustices of the South Subsaharan ethnicities, but that did not achieve anything of Significance and over the years that turn into full fledge Islamist Insurgencies and they were able to drive out the France.[4] So from National Tuareg Liberation Movement (MNLA) to Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).Similarly the generation that lost Palestine to Israel were secular they use to curse Allah azza wajal, they even took out mock funeral of good and all early Palestinian resistance Movements were all secular, PLO is a secular corrupt organization, but over the years it gave birth to Hamas.But another curious case is of the Kurdish insurgency in Northern Iraq, North Eastern Syria and North western Iran. These insurgencies remain Marxist and anti Islamic despite them being Muslim. Kurds have betrayed atleast 8 times by the US. [5] Though some from PKK, breakaway and formed Islamic groups like Huda Par, [6]but significant number of them remain Marxist in Ideology and now in post Arab Spring Arab world the American weapons and dollars started to flow in, so YPG become prominent which is basically rebranded PKK, as General Raymond Thomas, the commander of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM), said PKK were declared terrorist, so we could not work with them, so we rebrand YPG and throw something Democratic in there to make it appealing. [7]. SO just like any American backed Mercenary Kleptocracy they are corrupt, rigged numbers to chiffon dollars, like for example YPG exaggerate ISIS prisoners to get more funding for incarcerating them and for weapons, etc and pocket those dollars just like Afghan Kleptocracy, Somali Kleptocracy. [8]In Kashmir we see Similar trend from Pro Pakistan Hurriyat to Hizbul Mujahideen Islamist.Last we see Baloch liberation Army (BLA) Insurgency which is Secular Nationalist Marxist, but there are efforts underway to turn them into Islamist Insurgency, so we notice TTP (Tehreek –E-Taliban Pakistan) started to released Nasheed in Balochi Language in order to persuade Balcoh insurgents to join an Islamic cause and there are many other links between these two groups and it appears that BLA is headed that and it probably would merge with TTP in order to maximize their influence and efforts.So we find Muslim insurgencies around the world exactly going through one state after another just as Allah says in the Quran.#Baloch #Insurgency #Islam #Muslims #Separatist #Islamist #AQIM #AQAP #BLA #TTP #Taliban #Karachi #PKK #YPG #Kurds #Iraq #Syria #Iran #Turkey #Azawad #Mali #Tuareg #Algeria1)       https://orientxxi.info/magazine/socialist-revolution-in-arabia,21512)       https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/303817/army-of-12-thousand-men-to-emerge-from-aden-abyan-and-aid-the-religion3)       : https://acleddata.com/2020/12/14/the-wartime-transformation-of-aqap-in-yemen4)       https://www.eurasiareview.com/20042012-jihadism-and-tuareg-nationalism-are-not-the-same-analysis/5)       https://theintercept.com/2019/10/07/kurds-syria-turkey-trump-betrayal/6)       https://meraj2016.wordpress.com/2017/11/02/breif-talk-with-member-of-huda-par/7)       PKK rebrand as YPG:8)       https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/22/former-is-fighters-say-they-paid-way-out-of-kurdish-jail-in-reconciliation-scheme9) This is a public episode.
