The Balochistan Liberation Front (Balochi: بلۏچستان آجوییءِ سنگر, abbreviated BLF) is an Afghanistan-based Baloch ethnonationalist separatist militant group actively waging an insurgency in the Balochistan province of Pakistan.
The separatist group was founded by Jumma Khan Marri in 1964 in Damascus, Syria and played an important role in the 1968–1973 insurgency in Sistan and Balochistan province of Iran and 1973–1977 insurgency in Balochistan province of Pakistan.
The group re-emerged in 2004 after Allah Nazar Baloch took command of the militant group in 2003. Since then, the BLF has taken responsibility for attacks on Pakistani soldiers and policemen. The group has also claimed responsibility for massacres of non-Baloch civilians inside Balochistan.
In 2016, Allah Nazar Baloch expressed openness to receiving financial and other forms of support from India. He also vowed to continue targeting the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), segments of which pass through Balochistan.
