JSMM seeks global support for Sindhi self-determination and human rights

In a bold move, Jai Sindh Muttahida Mahaz (JSMM) President Shafi Burat has formally presented the case for the independence of Sindh, also known as Sindhudesh, before the foreign ministers of 119 countries. The letter, sent via email, outlines the political, economic and cultural grievances of the Sindhi people under the rule of Pakistan, which it condemns as an “irresponsible” and “fascist” state.

In addition to human rights concerns, Burat highlights the economic exploitation of Sindh, particularly the controversial China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The Sindhi nation condemns the project, which it argues is a form of economic imperialism, as it further strengthens Pakistan’s control over the resources of Sindh and Balochistan.
