Explore the complex and bloody history of "Fitna-e-Khawaraj," better known as the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). From its ideological roots post-9/11 to its official formation in 2007 following the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) operation, we track the group's trajectory through Pakistan’s history.
We analyze the major military operations that broke the back of the TTP—Rah-e-Rast, Rah-e-Nijat, and Zarb-e-Azb—and how the group was nearly eliminated by 2015.
However, the story didn't end there. We examine the "Rebirth" of the TTP following the Fall of Kabul in August 2021. Why did the Afghan Taliban provide a safe haven? How did US-leftover high-tech weaponry fall into the hands of militants?
