This article investigates the significant implications for peace and security in the southern region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan, of the resurgence of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The paper endeavors to analyze the factors that contributed to the TTP’s resurgence to elucidate the intricate dynamics that facilitated its acquisition of power, despite prior counterinsurgency efforts. This paper employed a qualitative philosophy-based explanatory approach. This study provides the root causes and hurdles behind the positive peace and security in Southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We find that core ideological tenets and intricate organizational frameworks are indispensable for the development of effective counterterrorism policies and the promotion of enduring stability in regions affected by terrorism. This study suggests enhancing intelligence cooperation between national and regional security agencies and enhancing control over borders, especially from the Afghanistan side.
