Kabul Vows to Continue Mediation between Pakistan, TTP

The Islamic Emirate says it will continue to act as a mediator between the Pakistani government and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an insurgent group in Pakistan, with the aim of ensuring stability in the region.
 
“Based on its main and permanent policy of supporting security and stability in the region, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has continued to mediate between the Pakistani government and the Tehrik-i-Taliban and is still continuing its efforts and hopes for good results,” said Inamullah Samangani, a spokesman for the Islamic Emirate.

After the arrival of more than 50 ethnic leaders from seven Pakistani tribal regions in Kabul, TTP issued a statement, urging the Pakistani government to withdraw its soldiers from the tribal areas to negotiate a ceasefire.

TTP also sought the entire liberation of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s tribal areas from the Pakistani army. 

“They want the release of all their prisoners (102 prisoners). They mentioned this at the beginning of the talks that include their elders. They also called for the reverse of the cases that have been forged against them,” said Tahir Khan, a Pakistani reporter.

In recent months, the Islamic Emirate has often mediated between the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and the Pakistani government, but Pakistani tribal elders have stated that their trip to Kabul is intended to agree on an extended ceasefire with the assistance of the Islamic Emirate.

“Pakistan wants to give the group international credibility and then use the talks as a bargaining chip to lift international sanctions against the group if it agrees,” said Asadullah Nadim, an analyst on military affairs.

In the last 14 years, TTP has consistently asked for the repeal of stringent laws, the release of its members by the Pakistani government and a reduction in Pakistani military presence in tribal areas.
