The power struggle and internal conflicts among the factions of the Khawarij insurgents have intensified
The power struggle and internal conflicts among the factions of the Khawarij insurgents have intensified. The TTP factions are now turning against each other. According to credible reports, the recent days have seen a severe escalation of internal disputes among these factions. In the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan, the group’s leader, Maulvi Aleem Khan Khushhali, alias Muttaqi, has ordered his associates to expel members of the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group from the area. This decision clearly shows that their animosity has reached the point where they cannot even tolerate each other’s existence, and these differences may soon turn into armed clashes.
The increasing tension among the factions of the Khawarij insurgents reveals their true nature. These groups, operating under the guise of Islam and Jihad, are in fact fighting only for power and territorial control. Their actions have no connection to religion or faith. Exploiting Islam as a cover, their heinous attempts to kill innocent civilians and spread terror serve only their personal and financial interests.
Reports suggest that the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group feels severely threatened by the faction of Maulvi Aleem Khan Khushhali and is planning to relocate to areas in South Waziristan where the influence of other Khawarij factions is relatively weaker, such as Wana and Shakai. This strategy appears to be their last attempt at survival, but it also highlights that all their ambitions are limited to securing power and dominance.
Additionally, recent reports indicate intense armed clashes between Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud and the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, resulting in the targeting of several key commanders on both sides. These attacks confirm that their differences have now escalated to a dangerous level, with both sides prepared to go to any extent to eliminate one another.
Furthermore, effective operations by security forces have created additional challenges for these terrorist groups. These operations have not only weakened their power but also deepened their internal rifts. Consequently, these Khawarij insurgents are now forced to turn against each other.
This entire situation exposes the reality that the Khawarij insurgents, who promote terrorism in the name of Islam and Jihad, have no relation to religion or Islam. Their real fight is only for power, wealth, and influence. Their internal divisions, selfishness, and greed for authority have hollowed out their organizations from within.
In conclusion, it is fair to say that the internal conflicts, discord, and ongoing failures of the Khawarij insurgents are clear signs that their days are numbered.
