The #TTP occupation in #Swat is significantly more than is being reported in the domestic media.

Many villages are under TTP control, and search operations have been on-going for more than 5 months.

It is no surprise that the TTP has returned to Swat for us @commandeleven.
For the past 3 years, we have repeatedly informed and warned that the TTP presence was growing and their influence was increasing.

Deaf ears.

We have repeatedly argued against the negotiating table, because it is a sign of weakness.

Why should we negotiate?
The news of Gen. #FaizHameed's deal to hand over parts of #KPK to #TTP, in return for peace for the country - that is accepting defeat and emboldening the enemy.

Is it any surprise that there was a significant uptick in violence from December onwards, when TTP walked away again?

Qamar Javed Bajwa became COAS on 29 November 2016. I was in Pakistan. I was abducted on 4 January 2017 by ISI and taken to a torture cell at Bedian Road. After 8 days transferred to Islamabad and 24th day back to Lahore cantt. I was not the only victim of criminal Bajwa.
My friends were abducted with me. Co conspirator of Bajwa was Asif Ghafoor and Colonel Shafiq. They used the media and accused us of blasphemy. Next two years were hell for my family. They had to leave the country as no court or institution was able to protect them .
That was just the beginning of #BajwaDoctrine . Mashaal Khan was murdered as consequence to the jingoist blasphemy campaign on media. We saw @Ahmad_Noorani being attacked on the orders of Colonel Liaqat Ali Waseem. @AbsarAlamHaider shot on the orders of #FaizHameed.

We often think the military is one big brain that thinks collectively. The fact is that there are always different groups within the Army that voice dissent but the nature of the institution means that once the Chief takes a decision, everyone falls behind it. However, when 1/n
the appointment of a new chief is around the corner, things become as political as you would expect in a Pakistani setting. Lobbying the political govt through connections is often at play in these times. #Musharraf was known to have lobbied for himself through Gen Iftikhar, 2/n
brother of Ch Nisar Ali Khan. In recent times when Bajwa was in the run for Chief, a few of his colleagues ran a smear campaign against him on social media highlighting his Ahmedi faith, and even releasing questionable videos with a similar looking dude. 3/n
