Pakistan Taliban

The Pakistan Taliban, also known as Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), is an Islamist militant group fighting to establish a strict Islamic state in Pakistan. Originating in 2007, they share ideological ties with Afghanistan's Taliban but focus on Pakistan’s internal issues. They use violence, including attacks on military, government, and civilian targets, aiming to impose their interpretation of Islamic law. Their activities have led to significant instability and loss of life in Pakistan. Despite several military operations against them, they remain a major security challenge, operating in tribal regions and bordering Afghanistan.
