TTP declares three-day Eid ceasefire in Pakistan
The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) declared a three-day ceasefire in Pakistan for Eid al-Adha.
The TTP stated that this ceasefire was in response to the requests of the Pakistani people but warned that their fighters would defend themselves if security forces took any action.
The TTP announced this ceasefire amid a recent increase in attacks by the group in various parts of Pakistan.
The Pakistani government and military blame the TTP for orchestrating terrorist attacks against border forces within Pakistan and for the recent attack on Chinese nationals in the country.
Pakistani officials allege that the Taliban’s support for the TTP has led to increased militant attacks since the Taliban took control of Kabul. This accusation has strained relations between the two countries.
Amidst the dire situation in Afghanistan, Pakistan has begun forcibly deporting Afghan refugees, worsening the humanitarian crisis. These deportations have added to the tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The increased militant attacks and the forced deportation of Afghan refugees have escalated tensions, complicating diplomatic relations. Both countries are struggling to address these security and humanitarian challenges.
