The Shura (political council) and negotiations committee of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) met at an undisclosed location in North Waziristan Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) for the second consecutive day on February 9 and produced 15 demands to be put forward to the Government’s negotiation committee, reports Daily Times. TTP Shura had been meeting since February 8 under its Deputy Ameer (chief), Sheikh Khalid Haqqani. Professor Muhammad Ibrahim Khan and Maulana Yousuf Shah who are in Waziristan for a meeting with the TTP Shura are likely to convey these points to the committee formed by the Government for mediation. The points are as follows: Stop drone attacks; introduce Sharia law in courts; introduce Islamic system of education in both public and private educational institutions; free Pakistani and foreign TTP held in jails; restoration and remuneration for damage to property during drone attacks; hand over control of tribal areas to local forces; withdrawal of Army from tribal areas and close down check posts; all criminal allegations against the TTP be dropped; prisoners from both sides be released; equal rights for all, poor and rich; families of drone attack victims be offered jobs; end interest-based system; stop supporting the US on the war on terror; replace the democratic system of governance with the Islamic system; end all relations with the US. Meanwhile, the TTP ‘commanders’ and the members of their committee formed to holds talks with the Government kept changing the venue of their meeting amid continued flights of unmanned US drones in the tribal area, The News reported on February 10. The committee members had reached North Waziristan Agency in a military helicopter to apprise the TTP’s political Shura of the demands put forth by the committee representing the Government. The sources, however, said that the Shura and committee members had to change the venue many a time due to the drone flights. Further, the Federal Minister of Interior, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on February 9 that any external attempt to sabotage the dialogue process will be considered as hostility against Pakistan, reports The News. According to sources, he was speaking to Maulana Samiul Haq, leader of the TTP committee for peace talks.

The political Shura (Council) of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said on February 10 that it gave a “positive response” to the Government’s list of demands, which had been handed over to it by the Taliban team during a meeting at an undisclosed location in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reported Daily Times. “After in-depth deliberations over the demands a positive response was given,” Shahidullah Shahid, the ‘spokesman’ for the TTP said in a press statement to media houses sent via email. Professor Ibrahim, a member of the Taliban team, and Maulana Yousafzai, special emissary of Maulana Sami-ul-Haq, had met the TTP political Shura in North Waziristan. Meanwhile, Parliamentarians in the Senate on February 10 strongly reacted to the TTP’s stance of not holding peace talks under the constitution of Pakistan, reports Daily Times. Opposition senators claimed that it was decided that there would be no terrorist activities during peace negotiations but the recent incidents clearly revealed that “third forces” are involved in such acts. Now it is duty of the Government to ascertain the third force, they said, and demanded that the Government hold talks with TTP under the constitution of Pakistan.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on February 16 claimed to have killed 23 Frontier Corps (FC) personnel kidnapped in June 14, 2010 from Shoonkri Post of Mohmand Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Daily Times. According to reports, the TTP Mohmand Agency ‘spokesman’, Omar Khurasani said that the kidnapped FC personnel were killed as revenge because the Government was continuously killing their men in different parts of the country, including Karachi, Peshawar and Swabi. He said if the Government does not stop killing the TTP supporters, they would also continue to kill Security Forces’ personnel. After the TTP claim, it was decided that the Government committee and TTP negotiators will not be meeting on February 17, reports The Express Tribune. Senior journalist Rahimullah Yousafzai, who is one of the members of the Government committee, said it was necessary to discuss the killings with the Government before the state committee meets TTP negotiators. TTP also confirmed that the meeting, which was scheduled to take place at 11am today, will not be held.

At least 40 militants were killed on February 20 as fighter jets targeted suspected insurgent hideouts in Dattakhel, Shawal and Mir Ali tehsils (revenue unit) of the North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), reports Dawn. The bombardment comes a day after Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) said a ceasefire can be negotiated upon if the Army stopped targeting its members. Other military sources said that the militants involved in the Peshawar cinema blast (February 10) and killing of an Army officer (February 18) in frontier region Peshawar two days ago were targeted in their hideouts situated in Khyber Agency. Improvised explosive device (IED) making factories and prepared explosives were also destroyed in the strikes. After being convinced by the top Army leadership, Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif gave a go ahead for the airstrikes, reports Dawn. High level civil military consultations continued for three days which culminated on these strikes. Army Chief, General Raheel Sharif and intelligence heads briefed the PM over rapid developments in the tribal areas and also shared images of militant hideouts procured through their own spy drones. Authorisation of the PM was sought for more strikes at other locations, which according to the sources has been granted. The News adds that Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Pervaiz Rasheed, on February 20 said the TTP in unequivocal terms commented “If you talk with us, we will respond with greater enthusiasm. But, if you would strike once, we would strike twice”. Pervaiz Rasheed said in a statement, soon after the Federal Minister of Interior Chaudhary Nisar announced that PM Nawaz Sharif in consultation with the military leadership has linked the peace talks to a halt to the bloodshed. Further, referring to the talks with the TTP, Federal Minister of Interior Chaudhary Nisar said, “Dialogue and violence cannot take place side by side. The military has been asked to retaliate in self-defence, which is their right. This [self-defence] is the right of the armed forces, which cannot be taken away from them,” he said. Members of the government’s peace committee were also consulted in this regard, the interior minister added. “We have burnt the midnight oil,” he said, explaining how the Government had worked overtime on how to resolve the issue. Meanwhile, Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief and member of the TTP talks committee Mohammad Ibrahim on February 20 condemned the shelling in North Waziristan Agency and Khyber Agency and described it as an action against innocent citizens, reports Dawn. In a statement issued by the JeI, he said that the air strikes would further complicate the situation, adding that the ultimate sufferers would be the innocent people because random firing and shelling could never prove useful for restoration of peace.

The Government on February 25 decided to continue surgical strikes against Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) alongside efforts to engage the terrorists in peace dialogue, reports Daily Times. The cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif, told the militants to announce and implement an unconditional ceasefire if they were serious in resolving the issue through talks, as the Government reiterated its commitment to establish writ of the state in the troubled areas at all costs. The Federal Cabinet also passed National Security Policy. Under the new security policy, a joint intelligence directorate will be set up to make the exchange of information more effective on federal and provincial levels. The National Counter-Terrorism Authority (NACTA) will act as the focal organisation for national security. Heads of the armed forces will also be among members of the authority. The meeting decided that all decisions regarding fight against terrorism will be taken at the highest levels. Meanwhile, the TTP on February 25 rejected the Government’s call for an unconditional ceasefire, reports Dawn. “If this is what we have to do, we would have done it 10 years ago,” TTP’s central ‘spokesman’ Shahidullah Shahid said. “It is the government which has waged a war against us and it is for the Government to end it now. Let the Government hold fire and we shall follow suit,” he added. He blamed intelligence agencies for February 24’s killing of its senior ‘commander’ Asmatullah Shaheen Bhittani. Further, Shahidullah on February 25 said that TTP were ready for the consequences of military operation, reports The News. In a statement, he said military operation will incur less loss to TTP and that the rulers must fulfil their will for compiling the statistics. Separately, the Pakistan Ulema Council (PUC) on February 25 asked all the militant outfits including TTP to immediately stop suicide attacks and bomb blasts and demanded that Sharif play his role for the success of dialogue with the TTP, reports Daily Times. The PUC made this demand at a peace conference which was held under the chairmanship of PUC Chairman Tahir Ashrafi. It was attended by more than 28 religious and political parties as well as representatives of the minority community.

He said that after the report from the Taliban committee, a decision would be taken on how to take forward the talks process. Irfan Siddiqui said after the report it would be clear whether the Taliban would hold direct or indirect talks.

Direct peace talks were held between the Government and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Orakzai Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) on March 26, reports The News. The talks were mainly focused on an extension in the ceasefire and release of non-combatant detainees. The face-to-face meeting lasting seven hours was held in the Bilandkhel area in Spin Thall in the Orakzai Agency near the boundary with North Waziristan and the Kurram Agencies. Sources said a consensus could not be developed during the talks on the host of issues that were discussed. Five TTP central Shura (council) members took part in the talks, although the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-S) head Maulana Samiul Haq, who is head of the TTP-nominated negotiations committee, said eight Shura members were present. Maulana Samiul Haq also attended the meeting. The four Government negotiators led by Secretary Ports and Shipping Habibullah Khan Khattak and the three TTP negotiations committee members headed by Maulana Samiul Haq were first flown in two separate helicopters to Thall town in Hangu District and then driven in vehicles to Bilandkhel in Orakzai Agency. The three other government negotiators were Fawad Hasan Fawad, an Additional Secretary in the Prime Minister’s Office, Additional Chief Secretary FATA Arbab Muhammad Arif and Rustam Shah Mohmand, a retired bureaucrat who served as chief secretary of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and ambassador to Afghanistan and is a nominee of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the committee. The TTP-nominated negotiators Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, who is provincial head of the Jamaat-e-Islami, and Maulana Yousaf Shah, who is an aide to Maulana Samiul Haq and is coordinator of the committee, also attended the talks. The TTP Shura was represented in the talks by Qari Shakil, who belongs to Mohmand Agency, Azam Tariq, who is from the Mehsud tribe in South Waziristan, Qari Bashir, Hussain, who is a pharmacist and cleric, and a fifth person whose name could not be ascertained. Maulana Yousaf Shah and Prof Ibrahim had earlier said that Maulana Zakir too would be representing the TTP Shura, but it wasn’t clear if he attended the meeting.

The talks between Government and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have hit a stalemate and unless some quick decisions are taken, it will be difficult to prolong the ceasefire, Dawn reports on March 28. The ceasefire is to expire on March 31. According to an insider, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has set two conditions for continuation of the peace talks. One is the creation of a demilitarised peace zone in mountainous Shaktoi in South Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), to allow freedom of movement and two, the release of non-combatants. The insider said the five-member militants’ committee sought written guarantees before they could commit to an extension in the month-long ceasefire. “For nearly seven hours, we talked to them about the destruction wrought by over a decade of violence, the loss of lives and property and displacement of people. We said ‘let bygones be bygones, let’s bury the hatchet and make a new beginning’,” the insider said. “Nothing seemed to appeal to them. I have come back really disappointed. The chances of success and continuation are not terribly bright. This is a non-starter,” he said. “We couldn’t offer any written guarantees. It was not our mandate, so we came back without winning any commitment either for an extension of ceasefire or the release of non-combatants in their custody,” he said. “The militants have tied the continuation of the peace talks or extension of ceasefire on acceptance of their demands.” He described the situation as a stalemate, adding it was now for the federal government to reply. He said that militants had handed them over a list of 250 non-combatants. The list includes names of women, children and the elderly. The military has already denied they have women, children and the elderly in their custody. “We told them we will investigate the matter,” the insider said. The militants’ committee also handed the committee representing the state a list of some seven hundred combatants for a possible release.
