As long there is a military operation in the area. There can not be peace and a ceasefire.
As long there is an ongoing military operation in the area. How a ceasefire can be useful.
Although there exists several State within State from South to North of Pakistan. North Waziristan is very much declared one.
It all seems to be about ttp demands... Looks like they can't be appeases enough - they don't acknowledge the release of ttp "non-cmbatabts" but keep wanting to talk about the government not doing enouh. How about they reciprocate even what government of pakistan has done so far.
and the best way to address their "concerns" is to thrash them in absolute elimination
