The Islamic Emirate of Waziristan (Urdu: اسلامی امارات وزیرستان)^{[citation needed]} is a rebel organization, in Waziristan, Pakistan that some commentators claim gained de facto recognition from the Government of Pakistan when it was named as party to the Waziristan Accord, the agreement reached between Islamabad and local tribesmen to end the undeclared Waziristan War on 5 September 2006.^[1][2] [1][2][3] However the name Islamic Emirate of Waziristan is not claimed by any organization and not a single source can be found to show that there exists such organization.
