The Pakistani state defeated the group militarily in 2015, and while the TTP [Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan] has been resurgent in recent months, the Pakistani army clearly has the ability to tackle them again. The terms of negotiations would have the terrorists granted amnesty in exchange for laying down arms.

It would also set a terrible precedent for other militant and terrorist groups in the country, as well as would-be terrorists.
