Bajaur: As Pakistan’s security forces continue their decisive counter-terrorism campaign in Bajaur, the outlawed militant group “Fitnat-ul-Khawarij” is showing visible signs of distress and disintegration. A recent audio directive from the group’s fugitive leader Noor Wali has further unveiled the extremist outfit’s hypocritical messaging and anti-state motives.
Sources confirm that on August 18, security agencies issued firm instructions to residents of Bajaur, urging them to deny shelter to any terrorists and assist the military in restoring peace to the region. In a defiant move, Noor Wali responded by instructing his followers to remain in Bajaur and resist the advancing forces — a directive security experts interpret as an act of desperation rather than strategy.
Labeling the military campaign as “oppression,” Noor Wali’s message is being widely viewed as a last-ditch propaganda attempt aimed at undermining the state’s credibility and confusing the local population.
Cracks in the Extremist Narrative
Defense analysts note a clear pattern of inconsistency and propaganda-driven rhetoric from the militant leadership. Their repeated contradictions and exaggerated claims, experts argue, reveal a group struggling to maintain influence as it loses both operational ground and public support.
Officials reaffirm that the military operation is precisely focused on last-ditchterrorist elements, with strict measures in place to ensure the safety and well-being of civilians. Authorities continue to urge residents to remain vigilant against extremist misinformation and to place their trust in national institutions working for the region’s peace.
