Will The French Envoy Issue Derail India, Pakistan Peace Initiative Brokered By The UAE? April 23, 2021 Can the UAE-brokered peace initiative between India and Pakistan be impacted by the widespread violence by radical Islamist group, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) who have been demanding the expulsion of the French ambassador to the country? The demonstrations and violent agitations against the cartoons of Prophet Mohammed published in the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo last September created huge turmoil in France and in some Islamic countries. However, French President Emmanuel Macron, by defending it as freedom of expression and calling it an integral part of French civil and political discourse, angered radicals in Pakistan. ....
IN a brazen attack that claimed five lives, the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan targeted the Serena Hotel in Quetta on Wednesday. The high-profile hit is a frightening reminder of the group’s ability to unleash terror. The attack followed the typical TTP modus operandi: the attacker drove an explosive-laden vehicle into the hotel’s parking lot and detonated the bomb.

The attack suggests that terrorist groups remain active in the country and are still organised enough to reach high-level targets. In this case, there is conjecture the principal target was the Chinese ambassador who was believed to be staying at the hotel. Police have however confirmed that he was not at the hotel at the time of the blast and is safe. There is also conjecture about who carried out the attack. While the TTP has apparently claimed responsibility for the blast, there have been other attacks in the same city by Isis as well. Similarly, the rise in activity by terrorists in the region as the US prepares to depart from Afghanistan also promises greater instability in the future if the tactics are not adapted quickly to deal with the problem. ....
