The central Shura of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on held a marathon meeting for resolving its internal issues and assessing the talks with the government but failed to reach a decision.
Taliban sources said that senior Taliban leaders convened an emergency meeting of the Shura to find an immediate solution to the clashes between two feuding militant factions of the TTP in different areas of South Waziristan.
Pleading anonymity, a senior member of the TTP said the Taliban leadership was upset and worried about the serious differences and clashes between the two factions and wanted to first resolve its internal issues before holding talks with the government.
He noted that after resolving their internal issues, the TTP would ‘think’ about an extension in the ceasefire and further rounds of talks with the government.
