Re: Infighting begins amongst TTP groups
In the current situation, these internal conflicts within the militant organization are a cause for concern especially in regards to the Peace Negotiations. On one hand there are pledges of ceasefire, and on the other, according to recent reports; close to a hundred tribesmen were captured from the FATA region. Not much is known as to the reason behind these kidnappings, neither has the violence stopped. Does that indicate that there are factions within the TTP who do not want Peace Negotiations to take place or even worse, do they want to continue terrorizing the population and kidnapping people all across Pakistan? It would be interesting to know the real objective behind this internal conflict. Hopefully, it would put an end to the violence and separate the violence-prone militants from those that want to give peace a chance.

Re: Infighting begins amongst TTP groups
All those guppies touting the theory that TTP is under RAW/Mossad/CIA control and are the bad Taliban while Afghan Taliban are the real deal good Taliban, can you explain this news story? Why are the good Taliban helping the bad Talibn? Ho come they appear to have a great deal of influence in ending the in-fighting of the bad Taliban but appear to have zero influence to stop them from killing Pakistanis?
Afghan Taliban broker ceasefire between rival TTP factions – The Express Tribune
****MIRANSHAH: The Afghan Taliban claimed on Friday they have brokered a ceasefire between two rival factions of the Pakistani Taliban, halting a fresh wave of infighting that had killed more than 60 people.
The deadly bout of violence erupted earlier this month between supporters of commander Khan Said Sajna and followers of the late Hakimullah Mehsud in the restive tribal areas of North Waziristan.
Both factions are part of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) umbrella group.
Pamphlets distributed on Friday in Miranshah, the main town of North Waziristan, noted that the ceasefire would hold until August 12.
Written in the native Pushto language, it said the ceasefire was brokered by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the formal name of the Afghan Taliban’s 1996-2001 government in Kabul.
A senior commander of one of the Pakistani factions confirmed the deal.
“We will strictly follow the ceasefire,” the commander of the Khan Sajna group told AFP.
The infighting began after Sajna, a senior commander, was rejected for the TTP leadership following the killing of then-leader Mehsud last November, militants say.
The TTP has long been riven by infighting.
Sajna had been seen as a strong candidate to become TTP chief following Mehsud’s death.
But the movement’s ruling council at the last minute elected Mullah Fazlullah, who hails from Swat and is believed to be hiding in Afghanistan.
Friday’s announcement follows a similar announcement earlier in April where a jirga had reportedly brokered a month long ceasefire between the two groups.
