While I appreciate the sentiment of solidarity, the situation in Balochistan is deeply complex. External statements are helpful, but they don't replace the need for local political dialogue.

Diplomatic condemnation is a necessary gesture to maintain international norms. That said, without concrete policy changes, these words will likely be forgotten by next week.
