Islamabad: Taliban militants in Pakistan expressed the end of a series of ceases for a month governed by the help of the Afghan Taliban, accused the government of violating the provisions including detention release agreements and the formation of the negotiation committee.
Pakistani Taliban, or Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), is a separate movement of the Afghan Taliban and has struggled for years to overthrow the government in Islamabad and rule with their own brand of Islamic Islamic law.
Last month’s ceasefire, which was always run until Thursday with the possibility of extending if both parties agreed, was the latest in a series of attempts to mediate the settlement to end thousands.
The Taliban Afghan surprise overthrew the Western-supported government in August gave a fresh impulse of the conversation but TTP accused Islamabad because it failed to respect the ceasefire agreement.
It was said that the government had not released more than 100 prisoners as promised and had not appointed the negotiation team to hold talks.
It was also said that security forces had carried out an attack while the ceasefire was valid.
“Now let Pakistanis decide whether it is TTP or the army and the establishment of Pakistan who does not obey the agreement?” The group said in a statement.
“In this situation, it is impossible to advance a ceasefire,” he said.
Most famous in the West because of attacking Malala Yousafzai, a school student who then won the Nobel Prize for his work promoting the education of girls, TTP had killed thousands of military personnel and civilians for years in suicide bombings and attacks.
Among his attacks was the 2014 attack in a military managed school in Peshawar, near the border with Afghanistan, which killed 149 people including 132 children.
