Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri dies
All NAP leaders, including Mr Marri, were arrested the following year in what came to be known as the Hyderabad conspiracy case. They remained in jail until Mr Bhutto's government was overthrown by another military leader, General Ziaul Haq, in
Meanwhile, thousands of Baloch insurgents joined the Marri tribesmen in an increasingly violent insurgency against the army, which forced much of its leadership across the border into Afghanistan.
After his release from jail in , Mr Marri flew out to Europe on a brief visit before choosing to exile himself to Afghanistan, where most of the Baloch insurgents were based, and where by then a "friendly" communist regime had seized power in a coup.
He returned to Pakistan when the Najibullah administration began to crumble in the face of Islamic resistance, and had lived since then in Karachi.
Although Mr Marri never admitted this, many say he actively inspired the current Baloch insurgency back in when the government of yet another military leader, General Pervez Musaharraf, contracted some international firms to explore oil and gas in Kohlu region.

The controversial election results and the manner in which they have come about have sparked widespread protests across the province.
Balochistan — Pakistan’s largest province by land area as well the most mineral-rich — has nearly been at a standstill for around three weeks as thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, intermittently blocking main highways, cities, and roads since the February 8 general elections.
Almost every major city and town in the province — from the Makran coast near the Iranian border to Chaman next to Afghanistan — has witnessed demonstrations and political rallies as Baloch and Pashtun ethno-nationalist parties, along with minority Hazaras, have taken to the streets, decrying what they term as “stealing the public mandate”.
But this is probably news to you. For even as the fire rages across the province, there has been little mention of it in the mainstream media, whose entire focus has been the election of the Punjab chief minister, the fate of the independents backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), and the wheelings and dealings of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) as they join hands to
NAWAB Khair Bakhsh Marri, who had to be in coma before death finally overpowered him some days ago, had been living for the better part of his life with a broken heart. Nobody could prevent him from struggling for the right of his people but he was never allowed to serve them the way he wanted to.
Greater than his personal tragedy was the inability of the Pakistani state to benefit from his capacity for opening a new chapter in the Baloch people’s history.
He was barely three years old when his father, Nawab Mehrullah Khan Marri, died and his estate was taken over by the Court of Wards. The one good thing that resulted from this arrangement was that he was sent to Lahore’s Aitchison College. Although he acquired some princely habits, such as socialising with men and women of intellect and beauty, he found better companions among the heroes of revolutions he read about.
Khair Bakhsh Marri was optimistic about his goals.
By the time he was dragged into politics by the Ayub regime’s plans for prospecting for gas and oil in the Marri area, he’d been recognised as a scholar who invoked socialist axioms to resolve the contradictions he encountered in his personal life or polit

Khair Bakhsh Marri’s eldest son, Nawab Balach Marri was allegedly killed by Nato forces in Afghanistan near the Pakistan border in
