2014-03-26
[DAWN] The government and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) Shura will not meet today to pursue peace talks on account of bad weather conditions, DawnNews reported.
Clearly these are not serious people. Have they not heard of roofs? One stands under a roof, and the bad weather causes no trouble whatsoever. By the time Noah built the ark they were considered old hat and rather boring.

...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law.

Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
, Ibrahim said the negotiation on prisoners between the government and the Taliban would be very beneficial for peace talks.

He also said the situation in Pakistain was still perilous and that hidden hands were taking advantage of it.

Ibrahim said the ceasefire between the government and Taliban was a major breakthrough and a proposed meeting of the government's negotiators with the Taliban Shura would be a second major breakthrough.

Ibrahim said the government nor the Taliban had presented any list of demands.

He, however, said the Taliban had assured that groups opposing dialogue would be encouraged to join the grinding of the peace processor.
