📉 Economic Exploitation: The Plunder of Balochistan’s Resources
Balochistan bleeds wealth, yet lives in poverty.
🛢️ From 1948 to 2025: Loot in Numbers
For over 77 years, Pakistan has exploited Balochistan’s rich natural resources — minerals, oil, gas — while leaving the local population impoverished.
⛏️ Major Minerals Extracted – Wealth without Justice
Balochistan’s land is blessed with extraordinary mineral wealth, yet its people remain deprived and marginalized.
🪨 Natural Gas was discovered in Sui, Dera Bugti in 1952 and extraction began by 1955. With over 5+ TCF reserves, it generates an annual revenue of ₹90,000+ Crore, yet 0% has been invested in local infrastructure.
🪙 Copper & Gold mining in Saindak, Chagai, started in the 1970s and commercial extraction began in 2002, yielding over 4 million tons and earning ₹60,000+ Crore yearly, but locals see only minimal job opportunities.
⚫ Coal fields in Duki, Mach, and Harnai, mined since the 1960s, have extracted over 3 million tons, contributing ₹15,000+ Crore to the state, yet offer no improvements in local education or healthcare.
✨ Chromite in Muslim Bagh has been extracted since 1952, but poor data transparency masks its true output. Miners are exploited, with no rights or benefits.
🔋 Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and Lithium in Chagai—discovered post-2010—hold strategic global value, yet are used for exports only, offering 0% local access or gain.
💔 These figures reflect not just economic exploitation but a systemic denial of justice to Balochistan’s rightful heirs — its people.
🚨 Ground Realities in Resource-Rich Areas of Balochistan
Despite being rich in minerals and natural wealth, regions like Dera Bugti, Saindak, Mach, and Duki suffer from severe underdevelopment and state neglect.
📍 In Dera Bugti, there are very few schools, almost no health centers, scarce water resources, and zero local factories for employment.
📍 Saindak, exploited for its copper and gold by Chinese companies, lacks even a full-functioning hospital, depends on water tankers, and provides no real benefits to locals.
📍 In Mach and Duki, educational and medical facilities are extremely limited, sanitation is poor, and the only employment comes from unsafe, informal sectors.
💔 These regions, while contributing billions through resource extraction, remain trapped in poverty — without basic infrastructure, opportunity, or justice.
🧾 Key Observations:
-
Balochistan’s wealth builds Pakistan’s cities — not Baloch homes.
-
Chinese firms (e.g., Saindak, Reko Diq) extract minerals under unfair contracts.
-
Local tribal communities are denied education, healthcare, and jobs.
-
No major reinvestment in infrastructure, skill development, or economic participation.
-
🆘 Why This Matters:
The economic colonization of Balochistan is a silent war — masked in development but rooted in exploitation. We call for a Baloch Resource Audit and equitable revenue sharing monitored by international observers.
