We’re quite tired of hearing #PTM being called an “organic human rights movement,” because there is neither anything organic or human rights related to this movement.
.@PashtunTM_Offi is a manufactured movement to achieve specific objectives.
1) Remove the military from #FATA so the #TTP & other #terror groups can return to hold the area hostage again.
2) To create a false impression that #Pashtuns are being victimized by the #PakArmy.
The only people being harassed are those who are not #Pakistani and living illegally within our borders.
3) The claim that women were being searched by soldier when moving in #FATA.
But didn’t the same people use this as an escape tactic during #OpZarbeAzb?
When you pretend to be a woman, you make them targets for search.
Remember, before #OpZarbeAzb, #terrorists had safe haven in #Waziristan (#NWA & #SWA), with markets converted to munitions supply depots for suicide bombers and militants.
When #TTP was forced out of #FATA, into #Afghanistan, where they long had training and medical safe havens, the proxies needed a new way to incite the #Pashtuns against #Pakistan.
They launched @PashtunTM_Offi, with the help of #Afghan refugees, afraid of deportation.
As the #Taliban continue to claim moving #TTP fighters to western #Afghanistan, TTP fighters have been confirmed in northern AFG, today the head of district intelligence of the Taliban’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GID) can under attack in #Badakhshah province.
For those unfamiliar with #Badakhshah provincial borders…
Another important factor to keep in mind is the #geological value of #Badakhshah province.
This is of key importance to #China’s investment into minerals in #Afghanistan.
Some interesting reports coming out of #Afghanistan over the past few days:
- roughly 2,000 #Taliban suicide bombers have been moved to the #Iran|ian border since the end of May.
- #ISKP has also started moving their fighters to northern #Afghanistan, according to sources within an anti-#Taliban group. They are being moved to #Badakhshan, #Takhar and some others.
Apparently, there are both @CIA and #ISI fingerprints on this.
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?
This is a significant foreign policy mistake by the #US & @SecPompeo
Having a defense collaboration agreement already in place had already made regional players uncomfortable, the sharing of intelligence data with #India is a recipe for disaster in the region.
The #US alignment with the #Modi government clearly shows that they are not interested in human rights or justice with #India
Rather, the US comprehensive support with embolden @narendramodi to go further than previously imagined.
What makes this even more significant is the coming withdrawal from #Afghanistan, where the #US will want to secure their minor gains. #Indian involvement will raise the stakes for failure for #US foreign & military policy.
