From "We are at war with Pakistan because Musharraf helped the infidel Americans" to "Hey, Humanitarian America, please help us against Pakistan".

Uturn of the century by TTP. Even bigger than distancing itself from APS attack which they claimed on video. Khwarij indeed!
Also, it's hilarious that TTP on one side calls Afghan Taliban their inspiration but here they warn America to not trust Pakistan because of "doghla pan". Clearly hinting at Pakistan supposed "help" to Taliban. The desperation is palpable

All not well in the paradise?
While begging for American help is new, TTP's attempt to mainstream itself in western eyes and use of Pashtun & Baloch cards are few years old now. And it's because they know their "jihad" has failed so they have been piggybacking on PTM & turning it into war of ethnic "rights".

It's always fun to read Western tourist analysts & reporters cite Pakistan's "duplicity" but forget to mention how the US stabbed Pakistan in back over and over again. Called #Pakistan an ally but NEVER treated it as one. History doesnt start in 2001.
Where were SEATO/CENTO in 1971 when the Soviet Union covertly and its ally India overtly were helping a rebellion against America's surrounded "Ally? Where is that US aircraft carrier that was supposed to come to Pakistan's aid? It's been 50 years, we are still waiting.
Who abandoned AfPak as soon as their agenda was met when the Soviets left? US was keen to buy back stingers from Mujahideen but unwilling to mediate between factions and dumped it all on its "ally" Pakistan & walked away into the sunset. Some Ally.

Prayers for the 53 men crew of the missing Indonesian navy submarine.

We in #Pakistan still remember the solidarity #Indonesia showed us during the 1965 war.

Below is a thread with few extracts from the book "The First Round" by the late Air Marshal Muhammad Asghar Khan. (1/7)
On 10 September during the war, Air Marshal Asghar Khan arrived in Jakarta to seek help in Pakistan’s ‘dire’ need to which Indonesian President Suekarno replied: "Your dire need? It is our dire need. India has attacked Indonesia" (2/7)
AM Asghar Khan writes "Pakistan will remember that when we were in ‘dire’ need, Indonesia gave Pakistan the key to their arsenal. . . . . . I have often wondered if Pakistan will ever be able to repay this debt". (3/7)

#MajorChangezi was supposed to go on leave days ago. Nevertheless, he stayed behind. Casually walking along the new fence, he was shot multiple times by Afghans. Not a battle but cold-blooded murder. An Ambush. The next day on June 14, 2016, he succumbed to his injuries. #Torkham
Major Ali Jawad Changezi was the son of Brigadier Khadim Changezi, who was the first Commissioner for Afghan refugees & worked tirelessly to facilitate them in Balochistan. Hamid Karzai served as his interpreter

They murdered his son bcz he was building a gate on #Pakistani soil
Afghan army border posts, their Bazaar & their "leaders" billboard were all targetted with accurate mortar fire & destroyed. They abandoned them all. No further loss on our side! #Torkham

Pashtun soldiers avenged a Hazara Major bcz Pakistaniat trumps ethnicity! #FrontierCorps
