The Baloch National Freedom Movement ( ), abbreviated as BRAS or BNFM, is a united front of Baloch separatist groups aimed at the creation of a sovereign Balochistan. It includes several prominent Baloch armed groups, most notably the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF). The group was founded in November 2018 by Allah Nazar Baloch, leader of the BLF. The BRAS was formed to fight Pakistan's administration of Balochistan.
On 30 October 2017, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) announced their intention to form an alliance and coordinate joint attacks against Pakistani security forces. Baloch Raaji Aajoi Sangar itself had later emerged from this initial alliance between the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) and the Jeeyand faction of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA-J) in 2017.
In November 2018, the Baloch Raaji Aajoi Sangar was formed as an alliance of Baloch militant groups aimed at expelling Pakistan from the Balochistan region, with Allah Nazar Baloch suspected to be the mastermind behind the creation of the BRAS. . The initial members of the BRAS upon its creation were the BLA, BLF, and Baloch Republican Army (BRA). Later, the coalition was joined by the Baloch Republican Guards (BRGs) in April of 2018.
In July 2020, the Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA) announced its entry into the BRAS, marking the inclusion of a non-Baloch group into the alliance and the expansion of BRAS operations into Sindh. The SRA's entry into the BRAS also solidified the latter's claim of serving as a united front against what it describes as "Punjabi domination" in Pakistan.
In March 2025, the BRAS announced its creation of a unified military outfit, which it named the Baloch National Army (not to be confused with the defunct Baloch Nationalist Army with the same name), in addition to an intensified offensive against both Chinese interests in Balochistan and Pakistan. The alliance announced this decision to transition the Baloch insurgency from a low-level scattered campaign toward an organized effort to combat Pakistan's military and intelligence operations.
BRAS militants have also clashed with Jaish al-Adl along the IranâÂÂPakistan border. The alliance launched Operation Aas-Rech in February 2020, attacking alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba militants in Kech district.
