Pakistan's recent moves to work with the people of that area will hopefully come to some fruition and help with the situation. considering how outcast they feel by the power of Pakistan, if raids or drones go in, it would seem they need some reason to accept that. I was surprised to learn that Balochistan is 48-49 percent of the landmass of Pakistan but has under 4% of the economy, yet they have natural resources, including natural gas. And Quetta which could be a great port. The Chinese really wanted it partly to encircle India. But the movement in Pakistan to address the area and its people coming at the same time that there is talk of addressing the Taliban who use the area is interesting.
