This study looks at how Baluchistan's political instability and lack of progress are reflected in tweets. It shows that the majority of these tweets are from activists and non-governmental organisations that use social media to advance their political and ideological objectives. The study carefully looks at content on Twitter to see how stories about Baluchistan are made, shared, and even exaggerated. It also uses important communication theories, such as the Propaganda Model, Agenda-Setting Theory, and Framing Theory, to explain how content is selected and formed online. Despite difficulties, including confirming the veracity of sources, language barriers, and misleading material on the internet, the study underlines the importance of thinking critically about how the media affects our perception of combat zones. By showing how media messages and power influence the narratives surrounding regional instability, this study generally advances the science of mass communication.
