The deputy commander of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), who have been waging a four-year war against the government in Islamabad, confirmed the two sides were in peace talks, a move that could further fray the US-Pakistan relationship.
“Our talks are going in the right direction,” Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, the commander of the Pakistani Taliban in the Bajaur tribal agency and the No 2 commander overall, told.
“If negotiations succeed and we are able to sign a peace agreement in Bajaur, then the government and the Taliban of other areas such as Swat, Mohmand, Orakzai and South Waziristan tribal region will sign an agreement. Bajaur will be a role model for other areas.”

  1. In tribel areas k baray mein Quaid k paigham ko sam’nay rkha jata to aj hamara ye hal na hota.aj bhi itna kuch honey k bawajud woh khud ko pakistan mantey hain aur pakistan k dushman ko apna dushman.

  2. Irrespective of the content of this news post don’t know why 2nd degree pakistani media love to post this picture of a nutcase from swat holding a dagger and a sword most of the time?? you ppl should be more concerned with the quality and credibility of the news instead of posting such pictures. btw there are 100’s of other Taliban pic’s available which can be used..

  3. Well said Khalid Afridi. I fully echo the feelings and the thoughts of the writer,

    A picture speaks a thousand words.

    PAKISTAN TODAY please refrain from presenting a section of disenfranchised Pakistani society in this manner.

    There are very complex dynamics at work and I am sure they will be soon within the fold of mainstream Pakistani society. InshAllah

  4. It is good if they are doing that. TTP's leadership must know it well that Pakistan, at present, is in circle of enemies. On one side is America and on the second side is India. Both are ready and looking to an opportunity, on every front, to take Pakistan down. TTP must work to strengthen Pakistan, not the vis versa. They must stop exploding bombs in Pakistan and wage jehad against Americans in Afghanistan and Indians in Kashmir . By operating within Pakistan only to kill Pakistanies they are becoming handy to the evil none muslim forces.

  5. They should remember killing one is like killing the whole,why you kill?the only way to preach or to spread your message in the world should be dialogue,we have to impress the nonmuslims by our good practice and good deeds ,not to annoy people by bad practices and killing those who are innocent and 'kalmago' ,and one thing more islam teaches peace and does not allow to kill children and women of even nonmuslims in wars then why u kill muslim children and women,along with muslim men,when u dont know who and who is being killed .At the time when pakistan cAme into existance our forefathers were killed by nonmuslims,today our brothers and children are killed by our own muslims.So one and the only way to go is by DIALOUGE.
