The Marri are a Balochi-speaking tribe of the Baloch people, who inhabit a large arid region in northeastern Balochistan, Pakistan. The Marri area is bounded to the west by the plains of Sibi. To the north are the Kakar and Loni tribes of the Pashtuns; to the east lie the lands of the Khetrans, to the south the Bugti tribe.[1]

Traditionally, the Marri people, like other Baloch tribes, were nomads and earned their livelihood from grazing animals and fighting and raiding.[2] Many of them hold key high positions in Pakistan both in Provincial and Federal levels of Government.
