🧵: "Who Created the Monster of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan?"

THREAD 🧵: "Who Created Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan?"<br />To understand who made the TTP, you have to go back to the 1980s — the Afghan Jihad era.<br />The US, Pakistan’s ISI, and Saudi Arabia built, trained, and armed thousands of fighters to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.<br /><br />After the Soviet withdrawal, those fighters didn’t disappear.<br />They evolved into the Afghan Taliban, created and supported in the mid-1990s by Pakistan’s security establishment to ensure a “friendly government” in Kabul — one aligned with Islamabad’s regional goals.<br />Fast forward to 2001:<br />The US invades Afghanistan.<br />Taliban flee across the border into Pakistan’s tribal belt — especially Waziristan.<br />There, many regrouped and reorganized under new leadership, blending with local militant groups.<br />When Pakistan joined the US War on Terror, launching military operations in its own tribal areas under US pressure, these militants turned their guns inward.<br />They saw Pakistan’s army as an “agent of America.”<br />Thus, in 2007, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was officially born under Baitullah Mehsud.<br />Initially, many of these groups were once seen as “strategic assets” — used to influence events in Afghanistan and Kashmir.<br />But those same assets soon became Pakistan’s worst internal threat, carrying out deadly attacks against civilians, schools, police, and the military.<br />So, who “made” them?<br />They were the by-product of decades of proxy wars — supported by powerful states when convenient, and condemned when they went rogue.<br />In short: the monster was made to fight someone else, but ended up attacking its own creator.<br />And who gave journalists access to them?<br />Often, it wasn’t random.<br />Access was facilitated through intermediaries — local tribes, intelligence handlers, or groups with vested interests.<br />Nothing in that region happens without layers of approval.<br />Today, TTP remains active along the Pakistan-Afghan border — reorganized, rearmed, and sometimes quietly tolerated by the same forces that once denied their existence.<br />History has come full circle.<br />The truth is uncomfortable:<br />Those who proudly called themselves liberal or secular in the West helped fund the jihad that birthed the Taliban.<br />And those who used religion for politics in the region nurtured them for power.<br />Both are responsible for the chaos that followed.<br />In summary:<br />The Taliban weren’t born in a vacuum.<br />They were manufactured, trained, used, and then abandoned.<br />And now, everyone’s paying the price.<br />قرآن و حدیث، اسلا می تعلیمات، دعا و اذکار
