My Washington Trip

For various reasons, I avoid being in Washinton, D.C.: I am broke, as usual; any travel involves some expenses or accepting help from some individuals or institutes which in turn may involve compromising one's principles or self-respect (izzat-i-nafs). Also, any presentation involves some preparation -- investment of time, energy etc. I have already over-engaged and over=committed myself in several things. The major reason, however, for avoiding travel to Washington is/was this: Since the 1920s, whenever the Baloch Question has made headlines locally, nationally and internationally (thanks to our martyrs, suffering activists and leaders who remained within the country and to our self-sacrificing legendary diaspora intellectual-activists such as JK (Jumma khan) Baloch whom I call Jumma Khan the Great, marhoom Nizamani, Akbar Barakzai, Waajah Ameeri, Siddiq Azat and some others) many undeserving Baloch individuals have exploited the siuation for their personal gain. Worst among them are the Baloch bureaucrats and some Baloch journalists, and those who misused the moral and material support(for the Baloch cause) of some outsiders. It is a multifaceted, long and sad story to be told at a right time. Smelling money, some of these Baloch exploiters and parasites of the Baloch cause have reached Wasington,D.C. ... and are 'well- established' !; others have linked themselves from a long distance. I do not want to see their faces. Nor do I want to be in a situation where I have to expose them or copromise my principles. (Fortunately, none of them attended the WSI gathering on Balochistan, of course for their own reasons !!!). This time however, my brother Jumma Khan the Great and this untiring old man, my brother Waajah Ameeri forced me to attend the WSI gathering. Both of them bombarded me with their emails and phones telling me that although invited by the WSI, neither they (JK and Ameeri) nor Akbar Barakzai are able to attend; so I must attend this gathering on Balochistan. I had to obey their orders. The credit, however, should go to these three legendary old men. ( Ey sayeyn piyramard ey piyraansariyaa ham na wat pa aaraam nindant u nay maneyn piyramardaa hillant ki kammeyn aaraam bikanaan). Jumma Khan Baloch, Akbar Barakzaiy, Abdussamad Ameeriy u Siddiq Azat ay paadaan-iy haak, Malek Towghi

Salam Sir I would like to thank you and every single person who supported you to attend the WSI meeting. It is a must for every Baluch to learn from these patriot Baluchs, on what troubles and hardships they passed just to provide us our rights and its really beautiful to hear that their support is still alive. I say, no matter where on earth we are located, we all should unite and spread about every news on what is happening inside Baluchistan to every big or small media and also to evry mankind around us. I once again thank every Baluch and non Baluch brother and sister for their suopport for us. Inshallah united we will never fail
