Pakistan’s Struggle with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan

• TTP, established in tribal regions, is a significant issue in Pakistan, particularly in North and South Waziristan.

• TTP’s demands for autonomy in the region have led to a rise in violence and terrorism in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

• The TTP seeks to impose its writ and undo the constitutional amendment that merged the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with KP.

• The KP region faces complex issues due to its colonial legacy and the federal writ in the tribal regions.

• The TTP’s emergence is seen as a post-2001 development, but the reasons for its emergence are largely ignored.

The Rise of the Afghan Taliban and the U.S.-led War on Terrorism in Afghanistan

• The Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan sought safe havens and local support during the U.S. invasion.

• Pakistan’s political and military establishments attempted multiple deals with the TTP between 2005 and 2015.

• Despite global pressure, the Afghan Taliban did not give up on the TTP, leading to increased violence within Pakistan.

Lack of a Consistent Approach Towards the TTP by Pakistan

• The first serious TTP debate occurred in December 2014 after the attack on the Army Public School (APS) at Peshawar.

• Pakistan’s “National Action Plan” in 2014 included political, military, and institutional measures to address the militant threat.

Lack of Social/Political Players in the Tribal Regions

• Pakistan has failed to encourage alternative political players in the tribal areas that could collect and express local sentiments, especially the youth.

Blaming the TTP Threat on Afghanistan and India

• There is a national consensus that the TTP problem persists due to external support from the Taliban and India.

Internal Failure

• Pakistan has a serious problem in the tribal regions that are undergoing a social and demographic transformation.
