I guess they haven't learned that signing peace deals, cease fires whatever will just give the taliban time to regroup. Besides the taliban vowed to fight during Ramadam. BBC
....
Pakistan's military has suspended its operations against Taleban militants in the Bajaur tribal area, in the north-west of the country.
The government said this suspension of fighting was in honour of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Taleban spokesman Maulvi Omar welcomed the announcement, but he said militants would not lay down their arms.Nor is it clear what the suspension of the military operation says about the government's counter-insurgency policy.
Our correspondent says some observers believe it fits into a consistent pattern, where the army first takes the offensive, then calls a ceasefire that allows the militants to regroup.
