The problem of terror in Pakistan
In Pakistan, terrorist attacks are especially often occurred in the provinces of Haibert Pakhtunhih and Belujistan, bordering Afghanistan.
In both provinces, armed groups under the pretext of protecting the rights of Pashtunov and Beluja, are attacked by Pakistani security forces and civilians.
Islamabad claims that the Pakistani Taliban are deployed in Afghanistan and organize an attack on Pakistan from there. The authorities of Afghanistan deny these statements.
In Belugistan, attacks of the group “The Army of the Liberation of Belujistan (AOO)” also take place, which strives to ensure that the Belujistan province is separated from Pakistan and transferred to the Office of the Beluji nationality.
Belujistan is the richest province of Pakistan in terms of resources, but the region is less developed than the rest of the country.
From time to time, AOO is attacked, especially to security forces, civilians who come to work in Belujan, and to companies leading in the business.
