Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has said that the military operation in Balochistan has been stopped, Dawn reported. Addressing the Balochistan cabinet in the provincial capital Quetta on May 2, the Prime Minister asked the federal and provincial Governments to withdraw all cases registered against former Chief Minister Sardar Akhtar Mengal so that he could be released. “I asked the military to stop operation in Balochistan until I am briefed by the new provincial Government on the ground realities in the province,” he said. “It has been decided that no army action will be carried out in the province until a strategy is formulated in consultation with representatives of the provincial Government to deal with the issue of law and order in the province,” he stated. The Prime Minister also reportedly ordered the provincial Governments to use all available resources to trace the ‘missing people’ of Balochistan and other provinces.

The federal Government has decided to withdraw Frontier Corps (FC) from Gwadar and Quetta and hand over the responsibility of managing the law and order to police in the two cities, Dawn reported. FC troops were reportedly seen withdrawing from their positions on May 4-evening. APP reported that FC sources said more than 600 FC troops had been withdrawn from 28 check-posts in the provincial capital Quetta, adding that about the same number of troops had also been recalled from the Gwadar district. "The Government has decided to withdraw the FC troops from Gwadar and Quetta," a senior official of the Frontier Corps, Balochistan, told Dawn. He said that the FC personnel would gradually vacate all posts in the cities. Sources said that the Chief Security Officer of Gwadar, who belonged to the FC, had been replaced by a Deputy Inspector-General of Police. The provincial Government had set up more than 40 pickets, jointly manned by personnel of the Frontier Corps, Balochistan Constabulary and police, following deterioration in the law and order situation in Quetta. However, sources in the FC said that paramilitary troops were being withdrawn because "there is no longer any need to keep them in the two cities", adding that the FC personnel were being recalled under an understanding reached with the Balochistan police chief. Contingents of the newly-established Balochistan Constabulary and police were reportedly taking over control of Quetta and Gwadar. A senior police officer said that posts previously manned by FC personnel in Quetta and suburbs would not be abolished. Instead, they would be handed over to the combined force of the constabulary and police. However, officials said that FC troops would remain stationed in troubled areas like Dera Bugti and Kohlu to protect sensitive installations, including the Sui gas plant and the pipeline network supplying natural gas all over the country.

A policeman was killed and two others sustained injuries in an attack by the insurgents in Quetta, capital of Balochistan, on May 13, according to Daily Times. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) claimed responsibility for the killing. It also reportedly warned the people of Balochistan to quit working for law-enforcement agencies or "the BLA will kill them". BLA spokesman Bibarg Baloch told Daily Times that Baloch people should quit their jobs in the army, Frontier Corps and police, adding that people should also refrain from seeking jobs in the law-enforcement agencies. He also asked the people not to stand near police or security check-posts, to avoid collateral damage that might result because of the BLA’s plans to target security forces. "Regular attacks will take place on government installations and policemen. The BLA feels sorry for innocent people who are often killed in attacks on security forces," he said.

Clashes erupted on May 28 between the security forces and militants in Dera Bugti and rockets were fired in Kohlu district. Officials said that militants attacked a check-post with heavy weapons and rockets in the Sangsella area, about 20 kilometers from the Dera Bugti town and the ensuing exchange of fire continued for more than an hour. The militants had earlier attacked the same area on May 27-night. However, neither side reported any casualty. In the Karmo Wadh area in Kahan, militants fired several rockets on a Frontier Corps check post. “The militants fired 10 rockets, but all of them exploded at places away from the post,” officials said. Two 32-KVA transmission lines were blown up in the Marwand area in Kohlu district, suspending power supply. A man claiming to be the spokesman for the outlawed Baloch Liberation Army said his organisation had carried out the attacks on security forces in the Karmo Wadh, Sehagri and Seha Aap areas in Kohlu. Identifying himself as Beebarg Baloch, he claimed that at least six soldiers had been killed and several others injured in the attacks.

The chief organiser of the Baloch Republican Party (BRP), Nawabzada Bramdagh Bugti, has refused to hold talks with the Government within the framework of the federation, according to Dawn. Addressing a press conference on phone from an unspecified location on May 30, Bramdagh Bugti, grandson of the slain Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, said that resistance movement was aimed at protecting the land and resources of the Baloch people. The BRP, formally a faction of the Jamhoori Watan Party, was launched recently with a new flag and manifesto. Bramdagh Bugti said: "We are owners of our land and resources and there is no need to talk with others on our resources. Talks will be held only with those who accept our right on Balochistan’s resources." He said the Government’s rhetoric about reconciliation was nothing but an attempt to deceive the Baloch people. The Government talked about reconciliation, he added, but it continued military operations in the province. The BRP leader said he did not support the killing of settlers, but said that it was a reaction to the military operations in the province. In his first telephonic press conference since August 26, 2006 when his grandfather was assassinated, he extended "100 percent support" to all the militant groups operating in Balochistan, saying the only way forward for the Baloch was to stop ‘begging’ for provincial autonomy and jobs from the central Government, Daily Times reported. "We are in a constant state of war… The Baloch issue has moved past constitutional compensation. We refuse to be a part of any reconciliatory efforts in the province. Why does the government talk of reconciliation when it is still engaged in a full-fledged operation against the Baloch people," he said.

According to The Post, the Balochistan National Party (BNP) on May 31 refused to participate in the Government-sponsored talks aimed to establish peace in the Balochistan province, saying that Islamabad should first halt the ongoing military operation. "We will not participate in the talks until the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Government stops the military operation in the mountains of Balochistan, frees all the political prisoners and withdraws [the army] from the province," Sardar Akhtar Mengal, president of the BNP, told a news conference in Karachi. Mengal alleged that thousands of people had been displaced because of the military crackdown in several districts of Balochistan, particularly Dera Bugti and Kohlu. Talks made no sense until the displaced people were brought back to their homes, he said.
