Baluch People's Liberation Front, also known as Baluch Awami Azadi Mahaiz or BPLF, was a militant group formed by Mir Hazar Khan Marri, a prominent Baluchi leader in 1976, led by Sher Mohammad Marri. The group is currently believed to be inactive, as it hasn't carried out any attack against the Pakistani Army and Government since 2006.
The People's Fighters Front (Persian: جبهه مبارزین مردمی, romanized: Jabheh-yi Mubarizin-i Mardumi, abbreviated as PFF or JMM), is a Baloch nationalist militant organization mainly operating in the Sistan and Balochistan province in southeastern Iran. It was founded in late 2025 as a merger of several Sunni Baloch militias, including Jaysh al-Adl, and has been a participant in the Sistan and Balochistan insurgency. The PFF's masked spokesperson is Mahmud Baloch. Following the onset of the 2026 Iran war, the PFF vowed further conflicts against Iran and had repeatedly clashed with Iranian personnel with multiple casualties reported on both sides since June 2026.
The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF; Balochi: بلۏچستان آجوییءِ سنگر) is an Afghanistan-based Baloch ethnonationalist separatist militant group actively waging an insurgency in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The separatist group was founded by Jumma Khan Marri in 1964 in Damascus, Syria and played an important role in the 1968–1973 insurgency in the Sistan-Balochistan province of Iran and 1973–1977 insurgency in Balochistan province of Pakistan. The group re-emerged in 2004 after Allah Nazar Baloch took command of the militant group in 2003. Since then, the BLF has taken responsibility for attacks on Pakistani soldiers and policemen. The group has also claimed responsibility for massacres of non-Baloch civilians inside Balochistan. Like other Baloch separatist groups, it has been supported by India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), and is allegedly used in the insurgency against Pakistan. It has also been used to target the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), segments of which pass through Balochistan.
On 16 January 2024, Iran conducted a series of missile strikes in Pakistan with the stated aim of targeting militants of the Baloch separatist and Islamist extremist group Jaysh al-Adl in the Pakistani province of Balochistan. The attack occurred a day after a similar series of Iranian missile strikes in Iraq and Syria, which the Iranian government had stated were in response to the Kerman bombings by the Islamic State on 3 January. Pakistan's government condemned the strikes as an "unprovoked violation" of Pakistani airspace. Two days later, on 18 January, Pakistan conducted a retaliatory series of missile strikes in Iran, asserting that it had targeted militants of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) in the Iranian province of Sistan and Balochistan. Iran's government condemned the strikes and stated that nine people had been killed, including four children. Pakistani airstrikes marked the first known instance of a foreign country launching attacks on Iranian soil since the end of Iran–Iraq War in 1988. Communicating through diplomatic channels on 19 January, both countries agreed to de-escalate and cooperate along the Iran–Pakistan border. Pakistan recalled the Iranian ambassador to Islamabad and reinstated the Pakistani ambassador in Tehran. Foreign Minister of Iran Hossein Amir-Abdollahian visited Pakistan on 29 January 2024 at the invitation of Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani in a push to diffuse the standoff.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
