Flag of the Baloch people

by Thanh-Tâm Lê, 28 January 1999

At the site at http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Quad/3034/ there is a representation of a flag for Balochistan. As many of the links on that site seem spurious, there is some doubt as to the existence or authenticity of this flag.

The flag internationally recognized is at this site where you can get a link and all the meanings of the flag and information about it.. The old flags are no longer used. The flag with light sky blue, white star and green over red is the international flag of Baluchistan, including the Baluch people of Baluchistan, Iran, Balochistan, Pakistan, Baluchistan, Afghanistan, and Baluchistan, Turkmenistan. The flag was invented on 27 January 1982 by the Baloch United Movement which is now the government of Baluchistan.
