Abstract
This research paper analysis challenges of fifth generation warfare to Balochistan. Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan, making about 45% of its territory. It is an important geo-strategic and geoeconomic location. The world powers have been meddling in Balochistan since it became part of Pakistan in 1947. The province has witnessed externally-abetted insurgencies followed by suicide attacks, bomb blasts and insecurity throughout its history. At present, Balochistan is at war, waged by foreign hostile forces. The province is being subjected to fifth generation warfare massively. The adversaries of Pakistan have been trying to generate chaos and lawlessness in the province in order to gain their political objectives. Pursuing their nefarious designs, the enemies are behind conspiracies against the province, targeting it with tools of fifth generation warfare. The enemies of our country are sponsoring insurgencies, abetting terrorism, sabotaging development projects, and publishing misleading and fake media reports to influence the minds of local communities and incite them against its own state and its institutions. This research paper explores challenges of fifth generation warfare to Balochistan. These challenges include foreign involvement, terrorism, externallyabetted insurgent groups, and propaganda campaigns launched by hostile forces. Data for this study has been collected through both primary and secondary sources.
