dbo:abstract
  • The Baloch are the majority ethnic inhabitants of the region of Balochistan in Iran. They speak the Rakhshani and Sarawani dialects of Balochi, an Iranian language. They mainly inhabit mountainous terrains, which have allowed them to maintain a distinct cultural identity and resist domination by neighbouring rulers. The Baloch are predominantly Muslim, with the vast majority belonging to the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam, but there is also tiny proportion of Shia in Balochistan. Approximately 20-25% of the Baloch population live in Iran. Estimates of the Iranian Baloch population range from 1.5-2 million to as many as 4 million. The majority of the Baloch population reside in Pakistan, and a significant number i.e. 600,000 reside in southern Afghanistan. They are also spread in other countries of the world, such as the Persian Gulf states and Europe. In Iran, the Baloch are divided into two groups: the Makrani and the Sarhadi. The cities such as Iranshahr, Chabahar, Nikshahr, Sarbaz, and Saravan are known as the Makran region, while Zahedan and Khash are known as the Sarhad region. Balochistan of Iran has been regarded as the most underdeveloped, desolate, and poorest region of the country. The government of Iran has been trying to reverse this situation by implementing new plans such as the creation of the Chabahar Free Trade Zone. (en)
  • Les Baloutches d'Iran sont des Baloutches habitant majoritairement la région du Baloutchistan en Iran. Ils parlent les dialectes Rakhshani et Sarawani de Balochi, une langue iranienne. Ils habitent principalement des terrains montagneux, ce qui leur a permis de conserver une identité culturelle distincte et de résister à la domination des dirigeants voisins. Les Baloutches sont majoritairement musulmans, la grande majorité appartenant à l'école hanafite de l'islam sunnite, mais il y a aussi une infime proportion de chiites au Baloutchistan. Environ 20 à 25% de la population baloutche vit en Iran. Les estimations de la population baloutche iranienne vont de 1,5 à 2 millions à 4 millions. La majorité de la population baloutche réside au Pakistan et un nombre important, soit 600 000 habitants, réside dans le sud de l'Afghanistan. Ils sont également répandus dans d'autres pays du monde, tels que les États du golfe Persique et l'Europe. En Iran, les Baloutches sont divisés en deux groupes : les Makrani et les Sarhadi. Les villes comme Iranshahr, Chabahar, Nikshahr, Sarbaz et Saravan sont connues sous le nom de région de Makran, tandis que Zahedan et Khash sont connues sous le nom de région de Sarhad. Le Balouchistan d'Iran a été considéré comme la région la plus sous-développée, la plus désolée et la plus pauvre du pays. Le gouvernement iranien a tenté de renverser cette situation en mettant en œuvre de nouveaux plans tels que la création de la zone de libre-échange de Chabahar. (fr)
