The end of a cease-fire between the Islamist militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Pakistani government has led to a series of security challenges for General Asim Munir. Tune into this episode with RAIA writer Ksenia Kumanina where we discuss Pakistani politics, focusing on the growth of the TTP under the leadership of Noor Wali and the strength of the network within the country’s tribal areas. We further explore how General Asim Munir’s interests will be tackled given the country’s current economic situation and given the lack of resources to fight the TTP. Lastly, we look into how the TTP’s resurgence is connected to the current Taliban-controlled Afghanistan following the withdrawal of US troops.
