US-Pakistan Dialogue Criticized Over Baloch Insurgency Stance
The US and Pakistan are having a chat about fighting terrorism.
But some people think the US is being too nice to Pakistan, especially regarding the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
They say the US is ignoring that Pakistan's actions might be making the BLA stronger.
The US seems to be focusing on the BLA, along with other groups, and even expressed sadness for those killed in attacks.
Some suspect the US might be doing this to get Pakistan on its side or to go against other countries.
Critics argue that the US should be supporting the Baloch people and not rewarding Pakistan.
US-Pakistan counter-terrorism dialogue is criticized for its favorable view of Pakistan's actions.
The dialogue focuses on threats from the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), ISIS-Khorasan, and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The US expressed condolences for victims of terrorist attacks in Pakistan, including those the BLA is accused of.
Critics suggest the US is overlooking Pakistan's alleged role in fueling the Baloch insurgency.
Concerns are raised about US motivations and the potential impact on the Baloch movement.
