• The All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) is an insurgent group based in the northeastern Indian state of Tripura.
• Founded on July 11, 1990, under the leadership of Ranjit Debbarma, a former Tripura National Volunteer Members group.
• 90% of the ATTF members are Hindu and 10% are Christians, according to SATP (South Asian Terrorist Portal)
• The headquarters of this terrorist group are in Tarabon, Bangladesh.
• ATTF is an armed group of NLFT (National Liberation Front Of Tripura).
• All Tripura Tiger Force ATTF is active in Tripura (Indian North East State).
• Objective: The primary aim of the ATTF is to establish an independent Tripuri state by seeking the secession of Tripura from India. The group advocates for the rights and interests of the indigenous Tripuri people and aims to resist perceived exploitation and marginalization by non-tribal communities.
• Insurgency: The ATTF has been involved in various insurgent activities, including attacks on security forces, extortion, kidnappings, and sabotage. Their operations have targeted both state and non-state entities.
• Funding: The group has funded its activities through extortion, illegal taxation, and sometimes through support from other insurgent groups and external sources.
• Counterinsurgency Operations: The Indian government, along with state security forces, has conducted extensive counterinsurgency operations to curb the activities of the ATTF. These operations have included military action, intelligence gathering, and efforts to cut off the group’s supply lines.
• Peace Talks: There have been attempts at peace talks between the Indian government and the ATTF, but these have met with limited success. The group has splintered over time, with some factions willing to negotiate and others continuing their insurgent activities.
• Decline: Over the years, the ATTF’s influence and operational capabilities have declined significantly due to sustained military pressure, internal divisions, and a lack of popular support.
• Ceasefire: Some factions of the ATTF have entered into ceasefire agreements with the government, while others remain active but less influential than during their peak.
• The ATTF is one of several insurgent groups in India’s northeastern region, each with its own distinct objectives and grievances.
• The Indian government’s approach has included a mix of military action and attempts at political reconciliation to address the root causes of insurgency in the region.
