KABUL: The Supreme Leader of Tehreek-e-Taliban Mullah Hassan Akhund has appointed Maulvi Abdul Kabir as the new Prime Minister of Afghanistan.
According to Arab media reports, the resignation was submitted to Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of Afghanistan. According to Iran Press/Asia, the appointment of Maulvi Abdul Kabir as the new prime minister has been officially confirmed.
As the Taliban assumed power in Afghanistan, Maulvi Abdul Kabir was in charge as the political deputy of the Taliban prime minister. This Taliban official added that Mullah Hassan Akhund resigned as prime minister due to illness.
The 72-year-old was introduced as the prime minister of this group just 24 days after the Taliban entered Kabul. Last April, the movement’s official spokespersons and media personnel were ordered to move from Kabul to the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.
It should be noted that this decision has been taken by the Taliban leadership at a time when there are differences between the top leadership of the Taliban and Sirajuddin Haqqani.
