Fight against Taliban: Supreme Leader Mulla Akhundzada assassinated, Mulla Baradar hostage

Kabul, Ta. 21

The internal conflict in the Taliban has now reached a climax after gaining power in Afghanistan. In a power struggle, the Taliban have assassinated its own supreme leader, Akhundzada, and taken a hostage from Deputy Prime Minister Mulla Abdul Ghani Baradar, a British magazine has claimed. Pakistan is the root cause of the internal conflict in the Taliban's Islamic Emirate government in Afghanistan. The group of Mullah Mohammad Yaqub, son of Taliban founder Mullah Omar and current defense minister, does not want Pakistani intervention in Afghanistan while the Haqqani network wants to operate under Pakistani domination.

A British magazine has claimed that Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Taliban's Islamic Emirate government, has not been seen for some time and his message has not been made public. The ongoing internal conflict within the Taliban has never been seen before. Even in such times, Akhundzada's absence has raised many questions.

The Kandahari faction of Mullah Yaqub, the Taliban's defense minister, does not want any interference from ISI, Pakistan's spy agency in Afghanistan. While ISI wants to keep Afghanistan as a Pakistani occupied territory. The ISI dominates the Haqqani network. As a result, Yakub's group is operating from Kandahar, while Haqqani's group is gaining control of Kabul. ISI's slave Haqqani network does not want to share power with any other society in government. He has already rejected the participation of women in his government. Currently, the Haqqani network is operating entirely at the behest of the ISI.

On the other hand, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who played a key role in the peace deal to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan, is pushing for an inclusive government by respecting agreements with the United States, Qatar and Britain, representing minorities and women in government. He believes that the formation of such a government will only give recognition to the Taliban government at the international level.

The Taliban, meanwhile, has announced new ministers and deputy ministers by expanding its interim cabinet. However, despite international pressure to form an inclusive government with the inclusion of minorities and women, the Taliban have only included men in the government, exposing their radical mindset. The international community has also made it clear to the Taliban that it will consider recognizing its government based on how it treats women and minorities.

The crisis over girls' schooling has remained high since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan. The Taliban initially banned girls and young women from attending school-universities. The Taliban said earlier this month that Afghan women would only be allowed to study at universities if they studied separately from men. However, with the announcement of the new ministers on Tuesday, the Taliban spoke of allowing girls to go to school in Afghanistan soon. However, contrary to its claims, the Taliban has banned the broadcasting of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the country. The Taliban has warned the Afghan media against broadcasting the IPL, citing the presence of female spectators in dance and stadiums involved in the IPL.
