Peace talks initiative by Govt fuel the prevailing situation among TTP factions. TTP mehsood tribes supporting peace talks because they are displaced due to operation an agency while TTP chief and Momand faction opposing talks. Mehsood’s had a view that all those opposing talks are not facing the consequences as they are all including Mullah Fazal is hiding in Afghanistan’ noorastan and kunnar provinces and all mehsoods are leading IDP s life in Tribal areas.

Govt was actually negotiating majorly with mehsood tribe and convinced them to not to fight against Pak Army and be part of talks to bring peace in region. Mehsood elders agreed with Govt and tried to convince TTP leadership but failed. The ongoing clashed between TTP groups in Waziristan was the result of the same conflict.

Removal of Mehsood chief Khan said sajna fired up the whole tribe and strong resentment was seen in agency against Mullah Faz Lullah. Khan refused to obey the order that was big blow to TTP and its chief as well.

Now I think peace process will carry forward with mehsoods and peace will prevail in NWA and fight and operation will be launched against other splinter groups of TTP and Govt might bring them on table by force.
