8Balochistan is the most underdeveloped province of Pakistan, and Dera Bugti is one of the most underdeveloped parts of this province.Faritany tsy mandroso indrindra any Pakistana i Balochistan, ary iray amin'ireo faritra tena tsy mandroso indrindra ao amin'io faritany io i Dera Bugti.
9In Dera Bugti is located Sui, the area which has come to be the backbone of Pakistan's economy.Ao Dera Bugti no misy an'i Sui, faritra izay tonga andrin'ny toekarena Pakistane.
10Natural gas was discovered at Sui gas field in 1952 and by 1955, this gas was being supplied to different parts of Pakistan.Nahitana entona natoraly tao amin'ny fitrandrahana enton'i Sui tamin'ny 1952 ary namatsy faritra maro tany Pakistan io entona io nanomboka tamin'ny 1955.
11Being discovered in the Sui fields, natural gas in Pakistan came to be called ‘Sui gas'.Nantsoina hoe ‘ enton'i Sui' ilay entona natoraly any Pakistana hita tany amin'ny fitrandrahan'i Sui.
12The two leading state-owned distribution gas companies in Pakistan go by the names ‘Sui Southern Gas Company‘ and ‘Sui Northern Gas Company.'Mitondra ny anarana hoe ‘Sui Southern Gas Company ‘ sy ‘Sui Northern Gas Company‘ ireo orinasam-panjakana roa lehibe mpitsinjara entona ao Pakistana.
13It is important to note here that the first provinces to get supply from Sui gas were Punjab and Sindh.Tsara lazaina eto fa ny faritanin'i Punjab sy Sindh no faritany voalohany nahazo ny famatsiana avy amin'ny enton'i Sui.
14On the other hand, 60 years have elapsed since the discovery and yet, only 14 townships in the 30 districts of Balochistan enjoy natural gas supply.Etsy ankilan'izany, 60 taona izay no nahitana ilay entona nefa hatramin'izao fotoana izao dia mbola tanàna kely 14 amin'ny distrika 30 any Balochistan fotsiny no misitraka ny famatsiana ny entona natoraly.
15Sui, the town which is a mere four miles from the gas discovery site, itself has no gas supply and people are forced to use wood and coal as fuel.Sui, izay enina kilaometatra sy sasany monja avy eo amin'ny toerana nahitana ilay entona aza tsy voavatsy entona akory ary dia voatery mampiasa kitay sy arina ny olona ho fandrehitra.
16Even in the provincial capital of Balochistan, Quetta, Sui gas supply came as late as 1970.Na ho an'i Quetta renivohitr'i Balochistan aza dia efa tratra aoriana tamin'ny 1970 vao tonga ny enton'i Sui.
17Then in 1990, Hub was also provided gas supply because it had become an industrial area.Avy eo, ny taona 1990, novatsiana entona ihany koa i Hub satria nanjary faritra indostrialy.
18Despite being the site of Sui gas, Balochistan continues to be shut out of the supply.Mbola tsy voavatsy foana i Balochistan na dia toerana itrandrahana ny enton'i Sui aza.
19Balochistan Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Mr. Jam Kamaal recently said, ‘We are considering the option of importing Sui gas from Iran' - meaning that he was unaware that ‘Sui gas' is a name specifically ascribed to the gas extracted from Sui gas fields, and that any natural gas imported from Iran will simply be natural gas.Vao nolazain'ny Minisitry ny Solika sy ny Harena Voajanahary ao Balochistan, Mr. Jam Kamaal, fa ” mihevitra ny hanafatra ny enton'i Sui avy any Iran isika”-midika izany fa tsy fantany hoe anarana manokana nomena ny entona vokarina avy ao amin'ny fitrandrahana enton'i Sui ny ‘entona Sui' ary ireo entona natoraly afarana any Iran dia ho entona voajanahary tsotra ihany.
20The ridiculous statement also reflects a serious problem: that the federal and provincial governments seemingly have no plans of ensuring more widespread gas supply in Balochistan and rather look to foreign imports to meet the province's fuel needs.Fa mbola taratry ny olana goavana hatrany ilay fanambarana mampalahelo : satria toa tsy manana drafitra hiantohana ny fanapariahana bebe kokoa ny famatsiana ilay entona any Balochistan ny governemanta federaly sy ny governemantam-paritra fa aleony mitodika amin'ny fanafarana avy any ivelany mba hamaliana ny filàna solika fandrehitry ny faritany.
21It is pertinent to note that Article 158 of Pakistan's Constitution reads:Ilaina ny manamarika fa izao no lazain'ny Andininy 158 ao amin'ny lalàm-panorenana Pakistane :
22Article 158.Andininy 158.
23Priority of requirements of natural gas. The Province in which a well-head of natural gas is situated shall have precedence over other parts of Pakistan in meeting the requirements from the well-head, subject to the commitments and obligations as on the commencing day.Ny laharam-pahamehana takian'ny entona natoraly Ny faritany izay misy ny lavaka iaingàn'ny entona voajanahary no voalohany tsy maintsy mahazo amin'ireo faritra any Pakistana amin'ny famaliana ny fepetra takian'ilay lavaka iandohàna, fehezin'ireo andraikitra sy fitsipika toy ny tamin'ny andro nanombohana.
24Which simply means that the discovery of any natural resources must first benefit the province where the discovery has been made.Tsotra ny dikan'izany : izay faritany nahitàna ilay harena voajanahary no tsy maintsy mahazo tombony voalohany.
25Sadly, the inverse is true in the case of Balochistan and its Sui gas field.Mampalahelo fa ny mifanohitra amin'izany no misy amin'ny tranga any Balochistan sy ny fitrandrahana ny enton'i Sui ao aminy.
26Some argue that given the scattered settlements and rough terrains in Balochistan, it is a problem to ensure gas supply to these remote areas.Hamafisin'ny sasany fa olana ny fiantohana famantsiana entona any amin'ireny faritra lavitra ireny noho ireo toeram-ponenana miparitaka sy ireo tany malalaka mikintaontaona any Balochistan.
27However, Sui gas is being supplied to some of the remotest areas of Punjab and Sindh provinces.Nefa na izany aza dia voavatsy entona Sui ireo faritra lavitra indrindra ny faritanin'i Punjab sy Sindh.
28Below are some statistics about gas consumption in Pakistan, taken from Pakistan Annual Energy Book 2007:Ireto ambany ireto misy antontan'isa momba ny fandaniana entona any Pakistana, nalaina tamin'ny Boky mivoaka isan-taonan'ny Angovo any Pakistana tamin'ny 2007 :
29According to the Energy Yearbook estimates of 2007, Balochistan accounted for 25-26% of the total natural gas production in Pakistan, down from a 56% share in 1995.Araka ireo vinavinan'ny Bokin'Angovo mpivoaka isan-taona tamin'ny 2007, dia avy any Balochistan ny 25-26%-n'ny entona natoraly vokarina any Pakistan, nidina raha oharina amin'ny 56% tamin'ny 1995.
30That same year, Balochistan consumed nearly 5.81% of this total national produce.Tamin'io taona io ihany, eo ho eo amin'ny 5,81%-n'ny vokatra avy ao an-toerana no nojifain'i Balochistan.
31Since Sui gas fields are the only gas fields in Balochistan engaged in active production, they account for the province's entire share in natural gas.Hatramin'ny naha-hany fitrandrahana entona miasa sy mamokatra ny fitrandrahana entona any Balochistan dia ry zareo no manome ny entona voajanahary ho an'ny faritany manontolo.
32Being deprived of a fair share of Sui gas for the last 60 years is one of the key grievances of the people of Balochistan.Ny tsy fahazoana anjara ara-drariny amin'ny entona Sui nandritra ny 60 taona no iray amin'ny fitarainana fototra ataon'ny mponin'i Balochistan .
33And from the looks of it, this will continue to be the case.Ary araka ny fahitana azy dia mbola ho izay ihany no zavatra hisy.
34These days, numerous promises are being made to turn the city of Gwadar into a hub of industry, trade and development.Amin'izao fotoana izao, maro ireo fampanantenana atao mba hanovàna ny tanànan'i Gwadar ho renivohitry ny indostria, ny varotra ary ny fandrosoana.
35But the sad fact is that Gwadar lacks some of the most basic amenities such as clean water.Saingy mampalahelo fa tsy ananan'i Gwadar ireo sasany amin'ny singa fototra tena ilaina toy ny rano madio.
36Not only that, only some 10% of the population enjoys gas supply while the rest wait for the fulfillment of grand promises.Tsy izany ihany, fa ny 10%-n'ny mponina fotsiny no misitraka ny famatsiana entona raha toa ka miandry ny fahavitan'ireo fampanantenana goavana ny ambiny.
37In the absence of gas supply, people in Gwadar have to buy wood, coal and petrol to meet their fuel needs.Voatery mividy kitay, harina, solitany fandrehitra ny mponin'i Gwadar ho ampiasainy ao an-trano.
38A resident of Gwadar express their views on this issue in the following words (translation is below):Tantarain'ny mponina iray ao Gwadar amin'ireto teny manaraka ireto ( eto ambany ny dikanteny) ny fahitan'izy ireo io olana io :
39Q: What difficulties do you have to face due to lack of domestic Sui gas supply in Gwadar?Q: Inona no olana sedrainareo amin'ny tsy fahampian'ny famatsiana entona Sui ampiasaina ao an-trano any Gwadar ?
40Zahid Baloch: Domestically, we have a dire need for Sui gas supply.Zahid Baloch: Tena maika aminay ny famatsiana ny entona Sui ampiasaina ao an-trano.
41In its absence, we have to resort to burning wood for household fuel needs.Noho ny tsy fisiany dia voatery any amin'ny kitay no ironanay amin'ny filànay afo ao an-trano.
42There are areas where Sui gas is available in Gwadar but these are areas where bigwig politicians and the elites reside.Misy faritra mahazo entona Sui eto Gwadar, saingy faritra onenan'ireo mpanao politika manan-kaja sy ireo olona ambony ireny faritra ireny.
43But in our homes and areas, there is no such supply.Fa ao an-tranonay sy ny faritra misy anay dia tsy misy famatsiana tahaka izany.
44Some houses along Airport Road also have access to Sui gas but again, these are households which are rich.Ireo trano sasany manamororna ny làlana mankany amin'ny Seranam-piaramanidina dia manana entona Sui, saingy mbola tokantranon'ny mpanakarena ihany koa ireny.
45On the other hand, the poor who are most urgently in need of a more affordable fuel, are the ones who are not provided Sui gas.Ankoatra izay, ny mahantra izay tena mila ilay entona fandrehitra mora vidy no tsy voavatsy entona Sui.
46Today, the Pakistani state should consider the fact that Balochistan, being the producer of Sui gas, deserves to benefit from it fairly.Amin'izao fotoana izao, tokony heverin'ny fanjakana Pakistane fa mendrika ny hahazo ny tombontsoany ara-drariny i Balochistan amin'ny maha-mpamokatra entona Sui azy.
47Steps taken towards meeting this demand would diminish the sense of deprivation that is widely felt by the people of Balochistan.Ireo fepetra raisina ho hahatanteraka io fangatahana io no hampihena ny fahatsapana ho tsy mba omena zavatra, izay efa tsapan'ny maro amin'ireo mponina any Balochistan
48On the other hand, continuing the policy of discrimination against Balochistan by depriving it of its rightful share in natural resources will only widen the gulf of distrust between the people of Balochistan and the rest of the country.Etsy andanin'izany, mampitombo ny hantsan'ny tsy fifampitokisana eo amin'ny mponin'i Balochistan sy ireo mponina hafa ao amin'ny firenena ny fanohizana ny politikam-panavakavahana atao amin'i Balochistan amin'ny tsy fanomezana azy ny anjarany ara-dalàna amin'ireo loharanon'angovo voajanahary.
