== Odd tone of article ==

Does it not appear that the article has an oddly mining industry/military strategy tone to it? Especially the economy section. Isn't the economy about how well people are doing, not about what the most recent local billion-dollar investment has been? Some changes along these lines had been made, but appear to have been all removed.

Suggested future changes:

Limit the discussion of natural resources to a single paragraph. There is much more that is interesting about Baluchistan.
When mentioning cities and people, let's avoid the use of words like "strategic". This isn't a board game.

How these changes can be made in a way that will withstand assaults from whomever removes such content:

Cite everything.
Check back again and again.

Odd tone of article

Does it not appear that the article has an oddly mining industry/military strategy tone to it? Especially the economy section. Isn't the economy about how well people are doing, not about what the most recent local billion-dollar investment has been? Some changes along these lines had been made, but appear to have been all removed.

Suggested future changes:

Limit the discussion of natural resources to a single paragraph. There is much more that is interesting about Baluchistan. When mentioning cities and people, let's avoid the use of words like "strategic". This isn't a board game.
