【BLA Central Commander in Pakistan Dies】
The highest commander of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and chairman of the Central Command Committee, Baset Zehri, died of severe kidney failure on June 26, at the age of 44.
BLA is one of the largest anti-government armed groups in Pakistan. In the ongoing battles of encirclement and counter-encirclement, attacks and resistance, both sides suffer huge casualties and property losses every year. Zehri's father, two brothers, and three cousins were killed by the Pakistani government forces, so his awareness of resistance and fighting spirit was very firm. It can be said that BLA is a chronic illness for the Pakistani government and an important factor of instability within the country.
His death is a major good news for the Pakistani government, but a significant loss for the BLA. This person had strong cohesion. After a major division occurred within the BLA in 2018, he worked hard to mediate between different factions and successfully reorganized the BLA. His death may lead to the organization's re-split! Of course, for the Pakistani military, this is the best time to launch a counterattack, win over, and create divisions within the BLA.
