In English that would be "Baluchi" -- the tribe of people who live in the border regions of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. They are known to have suffered under the Taliban, and they have great hatred for any government that tries to keep its thumb on them. At one time in the 1970s I remember there was a movement among them for an independent Baluchistan.
