The Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) protesters persist with their demonstrations in Balochistan, despite 'successful' negotiations with the government aimed at ending the dissent.

Protests began on July 28 in Gwadar and other regions, addressing alleged rights violations, including forced disappearances, and accusing the federal government of exploiting provincial resources.

Officials have denied these allegations, attributing unrest to foreign influence. A recent agreement saw the release of 80 detained individuals, but clashes resulted in casualties, sustaining the protests.
