The Taliban is acting as a middleman between the Pakistani government and the Pakistan Taliban, known by the acronym TTP, Afghanistan’s acting foreign minister has said.

The Taliban and the TTP are two distinct groups, with separate leadership structures and objects, although their testaments are analogous and the TTP has backed the Taliban in its fight against US- led NATO forces in the history.
Formed in 2007, the TTP is an marquee organisation of fortified groups formed across Pakistan’s northwest that seeks to put a strict interpretation of Islamic law on the country.
The group has carried out some of the bloodiest attacks on Pakistani soil in the country’s history, including a 2014 assault o

Last week, Pakistani Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry verified that a monthlong ceasefire agreement had been reached between the TTP and the Pakistani government, an apparent result of the addresses Afghan Minister Muttaqi substantiated on Sunday.
