In a statement, the TTP group said they have “detained” the nuclear engineers, not intending to injure them, rather to negotiate Islamabad ceasing on certain demands like stopping the Pakistan Army from conducting military operations against TTP militants. Reports have suggested that the TTP militants have also robbed off a considerable amount of uranium from Pakistan’s most notorious uranium mine.Hence, this explains the reason for Instability in Pakistan.
Pakistan-Taliban ‘war’ is more accurate, the term ‘war’ more accurately describes the situation, and in recent weeks has grown, officials in Islamabad and Afghanistan said. This is especially true after Pakistan launched a e token of a series of airstrikes on January 4 against TTP militants located deep inside Afghanistan. It is noteworthy that they are desperate and considerably far deeper in Afghanistan.
On the other hand, if the militants suffered any damage((the Afghan Taliban’s Ministry of Defence) does not recognise their loss), the TTP struck with considerable force, murdering a number of Pakistani armed personnel, including a major officer, and injured many others. Its satellite channels claimed to have interviewed major TTP sociopolitical leaders and numerous fighters.
Pakistan’s War – Against the Pakistani Taliban(TTP)
The Pakistani Taliban, formally known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has its origins stemming to an organization that Baitullah Mehsud founded in the year of 2007. This organization is responsible for establishing a conglomerate of multiple Islamists arms bearers. Furthermore, this group is regarded as an affiliate of the afghani taliban and is said to have worked in unison with them during the durations of 2001-2021 when a war against the Pakistani government broke out.
The Pakistani government and its people have actively faced aggression from TTP as they have channeled their efforts and resources to prevent the outcome of a set government in place. Not only this but their main aim, for which being in war with the Pakistani state, is to foster the establishment of sharia law in place within the country. In Afghanistan the Taliban has been accused and continues to face blame of harboring TTP members, a claim which they seem to deny by stating the accusation is false.
