Safia Baloch, Vice President of the Baloch National Movement (BNM) Germany Chapter, addressed the BNM seminar held in Berlin, Germany, on the occasion of November 13, Baloch Martyrs’ Day. Paying tribute to the sacrifices of the martyrs, she stated that “their blood is still flowing in our veins today.”
Safia Baloch said that they have gathered not in silence, but with full strength and power to remember those personalities who sacrificed their lives not for power or fame, but for the freedom of the nation and the dignity of the homeland.
The Vice President of BNM Germany declared the day to be very close to her heart, saying that it reminds her of the courage, pain, and sacrifice that defines the Baloch nation. She emphasized that on November 13, they do not just remember, but renew their pledge.
She stated, “We renew our promise that your sacrifice was not in vain. Your dream of a free, just, and dignified Balochistan is still alive — through us.” She also quoted a famous saying: “You can kill the dreamer, but you can never kill the dream.”
Safia Baloch, paying tribute to the martyrs of the Baloch struggle, said that countless men and women chose death over silence and sacrifice over surrender by standing up against injustice. According to her, the Baloch martyrs were ordinary people like teachers, poets, students, and farmers who did extraordinary things.
Describing the hardships of the martyrs, she said they faced prisons, torture, and bullets, but never gave up their dream of a free and peaceful Balochistan. “They became the voice of the voiceless, the light in the darkness, the heartbeats of a nation that refused to die.”
She reminded the audience that the martyrs’ blood is still flowing in our veins today and their courage echoes in every corner of our land. She added that our duty is not just to remember them, but to continue what they started.
Concluding the speech, Safia Baloch presented a poem titled “They Live Through Us” dedicated to the martyrs—those who left their homes for the sake of the homeland and embraced death for a life of dignity.
