On
Friday, The Pakistani Taliban (also know as the TTP) has issued A cease-fire
deadline extension until April 10th. This decision came after a meeting with
the government officials of Pakistan. The government has released 19 TTP
Prisoners. The Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, has agreed to this in
hopes that it will create peace between the two parties. Sharif has been under
pressure to create peace in Pakistan so these demands were a must, to be met.
TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told CNN that the meeting was held in a
progressive sense, with both sides
wanting the best outcome. He went on to say the ultimate decision was agreed
upon for both sides to release all prisoners. It seems relations between the
two are at a positive progression, only time will tell where relations
ultimately end up.
