Baluchistan

Indeed, more than 55,000 Pakistani troops are in Baluchistan waging a war of their own.

Before it was split between Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, Baluchistan spread over an area slightly larger than California.

For the last nine years, they have battled secular Baluch nationalists who would like to see an independent Baluchistan.

Several roads to India have been developed through Baluchistan, but they are all dominated from Kandahar.
