This study will open the discussion on the Baloch people from
South Central Asia and their role in the Persian-Arab Gulf and in
East Africa during the nineteenth and twentieth century. The
major motivations to Baloch movements were originated from
environmental issues as well as from socio-economic and political
conditions in their land. These conditions implied numerous
consequences such as the expansion of lawless habits throughout
their region, enslaving by external powerful groups, and the
progressive creation of new roles in the Gulf region and in East
Africa such as the military one.
