Balochistan's Hidden Economy: How Proxy Groups, Frontier Corps Exploit Resources & Fund Ops

The Pakistan Army has been accused of using illegal sources of money to curb the Baloch Movement, with proxy groups operating parallel economies alongside the Frontier Corps and exploiting Balochistan’s porous borders with Afghanistan and Iran, which have become a hub for opium and methamphetamine trade. These proxies impose taxes on smugglers and use the proceeds to finance their operations.

The United Nations estimates that $2–3 billion annually flows through Balochistan’s drug routes. Additionally, the smuggling of Iranian diesel into Pakistan via Balochistan generates $500 million yearly, with Frontier Corps checkpoints taking a cut.
