The end of a disintegration process of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) (DIEEEO121-2014)

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the formidable and foremost Pakistani terrorist group since its foundation in 2007, is reaching the end of a disintegration process started in 2009, after the death of its then leader, Baitullah Mehsud. Internal disagreements, in good measure based on tribal differences and aggravated after the death of Baitullah’s successor, Hakeemullah Mehsud, in 2013, and the growing Pakistani military pressure in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, have nearly finished the TTP. This paper analyzes the evolution of the terrorist group since the appointment of Maulana Fazlullah as its new leader in November 2013.
