Introduction
In the realm of Balochistan’s tumultuous struggle for independence, Sumaiya Baloch, known as “Sammo,” emerged as a prominent figure. As a female member of the Majeed Brigade in the Baloch Liberation Army, she dedicated her life to the cause of Baloch national independence.

Her life journey serves as a testament to the oppression faced by the Baloch people and the sacrifices made in their fight for justice.
Early Years and Tragedy
Born on August 17, 1997, in Tootak, Khuzdar district of Balochistan, Sumaiya Baloch’s formative years were marred by unrest and tragedy.

Facing Oppression

The operation led to the arrest and torture of residents, including women and children. Sadly, two of Sumaiya’s relatives lost their lives during this tragic event, fueling her grievances against the state. The aftermath of the operation resulted in the forced disappearance of over 20 individuals from her village, including her cousins, leaving a lasting impact on her life.
Resilience and Determination
Despite enduring immense hardships, Sumaiya remained resilient and determined. After completing her schooling, she continued her education and pursued journalism, using her voice to shed light on the role of women in global movements. Her social media platforms became a platform for thought-provoking columns and articles, emphasizing the significance of female empowerment in driving societal transformation.
