Pakis about to get a winter of peace

The government and the TTP had agreed to a truce earlier this year after Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers took a prominent role in brokering peace talks, but negotiations made little progress and there were frequent breaches. The Express Tribune had reported that the talks reached a deadlock as the terror group refused to budge from its demand for the reversal of the merger of erstwhile Fata with the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

"We... have shown our continued patience so that the negotiation process is not sabotaged," the TTP said in the statement. "But the army and intelligence agencies do not stop and continue the attacks, so now our retaliatory attacks will also start across the country." The TTP claimed that there have been constant operations on its militants by the security forces and they have not been stopped despite the "patience" shown by it. "Wherever you find an opportunity to attack, do proceed," the statement urged its terrorists.

How polite,

Islamabad fears that if the TTP or its splinter groups join Da’ish, it would multiply Pakistan’s security challenges. Pakistan is also concerned that this scenario will be exploited by external players including India.

Oh no wouldn't that be terrible

Yes hello Doval ji

Analyst Saad Khan, a Peshawar-based retired brigadier, played down the significance of the TTP statement saying the ceasefire was barely observed anyway. "The Afghan Taliban have assured the whole world that they will not allow their territory to be used against any other country," he told AFP. "It is important to initiate serious negotiations with the Afghan Taliban on this issue and make them aware of the seriousness of the matter."
