    Doing Business in Pakistan

    • January 24, 2014

    TTP Talks

    • November 15, 2013

    The nomination of Mullah Fazlullah as the new head of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) does not seem to dramatically change prospects for an agreement between the TTP and Islamabad.

They have already agreed on some confidence-building measures, though unverified.
