Baloch people in Afghanistan

The Baloch of Afghanistan (Balochi:افغانستان ءِ بلوچ) are Baloch people who live in the southwestern of Afghanistan, Balochistan Afghanistan along the border with Iran and Pakistan. The number of the Baloch in Afghanistan is estimated at 1 million people or roughly 2% of the population of Afghanistan.

They are the majority in Nimroz Province. Baloch also have a presence in Helmand, Faryab, Takhar, Herat, Kandahar, Badakhshan and other parts of Afghanistan. However, due to the prolonged Afghan conflict, most Balochs in Afghanistan fled the country to sought refuge in neighbouring Iran and Pakistan. The Taliban has often been accused of having an anti-Baloch bias.
