2023 Baloch separatist leader Gulzar Imam arrested, disrupting BNA, leading to a turning point in insurgency and amnesty offer.

Former Baloch separatist Gulzar Imam, a key figure in militant organizations in southern Balochistan, completed a year of working with the Pakistani state. His arrest in April 2023 through a lengthy intelligence operation disrupted the leadership within the Baloch Nationalist Army (BNA) and led to internal conflicts. This year marks a turning point in the insurgency and has led to an offer of amnesty from Pakistan.
