TTP has unilaterally withdrawn from ceasefire

.
Afghanistan don't even recognise the durand line. You wasted so much of your political leverage for Afghanistan and this is your reward. Can we just celebrate Musharaf one more time?

PTI should send them flower galas to please them.

do you recall the days PTI used to start its rallies against Musharraf from Lal Masjid? I have always seen PTI pro Pak army stance with suspicion.
originally more radical Jamat Islami voters joined PTI because Jamat Islami was not radical enough and didnt offer open support to religious terrorist organisations.

Brother be careful, your exposing the real terrorists and their sympathisers. Unfortunately Pakistan army higher ups always make the wrong decisions, they should have fully backed the anti terrorist lashkars and pro Pakistan Islamic groups but instead they failed to protect and fund them. Now they are bending over backwards in front of the same terrorist who they considered RAW agents. Hilarious.

Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan accused the government of not honouring the truce and failing to release 102 of their fighters.

Taliban militants in Pakistan declared an end to a month-long ceasefire arranged with the aid of the Afghan Taliban, accusing the government of breaching terms including a prisoner release agreement and the formation of negotiating committees.

"Now let the Pakistani people decide whether it is the TTP or the Pakistani army and establishment that is not abiding by the agreements?" the group said in a statement.

"In these circumstances, it is not possible to advance the ceasefire," it said.

Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) accused Islamabad of failing to respect the ceasefire agreement.

It said the government had not released more than 100 prisoners as promised and had not appointed negotiating teams to conduct talks.

It also said security forces had carried out raids while the ceasefire was in force.

Well, this is the latest news on TRTworld, no news coming on Pak channels yet. But if its true, its not a surprise was bound to happen. Just crush the TTP once and for all!
 
. . . .
Now would be a very good time to deploy our UCAVs and tear those TTP to pieces. Also give us some footage of it as well. Quality, satisfying footage of these terrorists being ripped and torn apart
Yep, Wish they had technology to implant the tracker onto the prisoners they were about to release. Find the nest and bingo!

ISI agents should infiltrate every ttp group. Send hundreds of ISI agents to join ttp. Use the info from those agents to do targeted drone strikes on ttp leadership, ammunition deports, safe heavens and ttp financiers. Bring ttp to its knees with drone strikes in both Pakistan and Afghanistan than launch a major clean up operation in tribal areas to get rid of their sleeper cells. Use isi and ssg to attack ttp cells in Afghanistan. Come clear with afghan Taliban that if it wants to use our ports or do trade with us it must crackdown on ttp or if not crackdown than allow us to eliminate ttp deep inside Afghanistan. After breaking ttp’s back do rapid development in waziristan, set up industries there and open schools so people are employed and educated and don’t turn to extremism.

PESHAWAR: The banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Thursday declined to extend the month-long ceasefire with the government, accusing it of failing to honour the decisions reached earlier. The announcement has put the nascent peace efforts into the doldrums.
A statement issued by the TTP late in the evening gave out details of the six-point agreement that it said it had reached with the government under the aegis of the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” (IEA) on Oct 25, 2021.
The two sides, according to the agreement, had accepted that the IEA would play the role of a mediator and that both sides would form five-member committees each which, under the supervision of the mediator, would discuss the next course of action and demands of each sides.
Both sides, it said, had also agreed to observe a month-long ceasefire from Nov 1 to Nov 30, 2021 and that the government would release 102 “imprisoned mujahideen” and hand them over to the TTP through the “IEA and that both sides would issue a joint statement regarding the ceasefire on Nov 1, 2021”.
Group’s 12 ‘de-radicalised’ foot soldiers released
According to the statement, the government not only failed to implement the decisions reached between the two sides but to the contrary, the security forces conducted raids in Dera Ismail Khan, Lakki Marwat, Swat, Bajaur, Swabi and North Waziristan and killed and detained militants.
“Under these circumstances, it is not possible to extend the ceasefire,” the TTP said.
Earlier in an audio, Mufti Noor Wali Mahsud announced an end to the ceasefire and asked his fighters to resume attacks past 12am. The ceasefire had come into effect on Nov 9.
In the audio, Mufti Noor can be heard as saying that since the TTP has not heard back from the mediators or the government, therefore, past midnight, his fighters reserve the right to resume attacks wherever they were.
The TTP decision to end the ceasefire is a big setback to the government efforts to secure a peace agreement with the militants waging war against the state for decades.

Official sources had earlier said that both sides had agreed to initiate “formal talks” and had finalised five names of negotiators each. The government negotiating team included two senior civil officers with good experience of having served in conflict zones. While the TTP said it had formed a five-member committee for negotiations, the government, it appears, took time to notify the committee.
A lot of informal discussions had taken place between the two sides before and during the ceasefire and certain confidence-building steps had been agreed upon to reassure each other, these sources said.
Afghan Taliban are playing the role of principal mediator between Pakistan and the outlawed militant conglomerate comprising several factions.
Government officials say Afghan Taliban have offered Pakistani authorities several options but that they prefer that the TTP be engaged through negotiations and persuaded to return to their country in a peaceful manner.
Ceasefire impact
Ceasefire or cessation of hostilities has remained enforced with no major violations. TTP-led militant attacks inside Pakistan which had seen a dramatic spike in the immediate aftermath of Afghan Taliban’s takeover in mid-August have seen a steady decline, according to data available with Dawn.
These attacks saw a further decrease of 28 per cent since October, when the ceasefire came into effect, according to official statistics of the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The only notable exception to the ceasefire violations have been 24 attacks mounted by Hafiz Gul Bahadar (HGB) and TTP-affiliated Aleem Khan Khushali (AKK) in North Waziristan. HGB is not part of TTP and had reached a separate ceasefire agreement.
Release of de-radicalised militants
One particular step was the release of some foot soldiers. The government has agreed to release close to one hundred militants being held at ‘de-radicalisation centers’. The first batch of around 12 has already been released. The second batch is expected to be freed in the next few days, to be followed by more in the days and weeks to come.
The ‘de-radicalised’ militants have been screened and made to report to police stations of their areas every two weeks while their movement would be monitored “to ensure they don’t return to what they have been doing in the past”, another source said. “No hard core militant will be released,” this source insisted.
Red lines
The sources say that during the informal talks, it has been made clear to the other side that there are certain redlines which are not open to negotiations. “Pakistan is a constitutional democracy and they have to accept it and abide by it. There will be no grouping or re-grouping, safe-havens, movement of armed troupes or carrying weapons.”
The TTP, however, has set its own conditions which among other things include enforcement of Shariah and restoration of tribal areas to their pre-merger status.
“They know it and they understand it. Tribal areas are now merged districts and they know that there is no going back and that much water has flown under the bridge. Conditions are no longer conducive for them to operate, survive and sustain,” the sources maintain.

Sappan de putar yar ni ban'day chunnian dudh piyayey..
TLP,TTP,SSP,LEJ,LET,BRA,BLF and the likes should never be offered a peace deal from the position of weakness. Lets arrange their meetings with their Maker soon.
 
.
They took that time to build links with the TLP - any attempt on TTP will be met with protests and threats by the TLP variety as the self proclaimed king makers.

It didn't came off as a surprise, as they did that in past (SWAT) but at that time at least our Military leadership used that time to create their own intelligence network which help them a lot in future operations, right not I have full confidence at current Civil/Military leadership that they will give them (TTP) time to regroup, gather fighters, recruit, hoard weapons and on our side it will be just Apne bache, ache bache.
