The political landscape in Balochistan has seen a significant development as a coalition of opposition parties decided to halt their province-wide protests, a move described as a 'goodwill gesture' amid the current security and political situation. According to Dawn, this decision was made after a meeting on February 5, 2026, between an authorized government committee and an All Parties delegation, which included representatives from the Awami National Party (ANP), National Party, Pakhtunkhwa National Awami Party (PkNAP), and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI). The government, in response, agreed to release all government employees who were recently arrested while attempting to enter the 'Red Zone'. This agreement aims to de-escalate tensions in the region, highlighting the collaborative efforts between the government and opposition to address the pressing issues in Balochistan.
