Who are the Pakistani Taliban?

The Christians, & the innocent women and children in Pakistan continue to suffer under these rebels.  Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and the innocent.  Pray for God to show himself to those lost, pray for caring hands to care for the persecuted, and a light to shine in this darkness.

In the western world, the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, or TPP, is most notorious for its role in the shooting of Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who has since become a global icon and campaigner for education. But Malala hasn’t been the TTP’s only victim. Far from it. Over the past seven years, tens of thousands of people are believed to have been killed in the name of the militant movement, with tens of thousands more injured. And this week the Pakistani government was supposed to be taking part in “last attempt” preliminary peace talks with the militant movement that has recruited hundreds of children as suicide bombers and wants to implement sharia throughout the Pakistani state. We take a closer look.
