Who are the men leading the Taliban’s new government? | Al Jazeera Breakdown

The Taliban has announced key posts for their new government in Afghanistan, weeks after the group seized control of the country.
Mullah Mohammad Hasan Akhund, who is on a UN sanctions list, was named as leader of the new government, while Taliban co-founder Abdul Ghani Baradar was named as his deputy at a news conference in Kabul on Tuesday.
The Taliban’s inner workings and leadership have long been shrouded in secrecy – even when they previously ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.
Several cabinet posts are yet to be announced.

Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford joins us live from the Afghan capital, Kabul for the latest updates.

It will be safe to not include puppets and traitors.

[ProfessorGlasgow]

The west has no right to impose their ideology on the Afghans

[akbarali-fhrb]

They fought for 40 years and why they need dictation from West? If west is so much curious then why not visit Afghanistan again? Talibans have full right to govern Afghanistan.

[ahadtuhin]

Every one of these hypocrites are saying "Why aren’t other included in Taliban's government?"

Where was this inclusivity before? Did anyone even consider to include Taliban members in the previous puppet government?

[thymelaka]

If you didn't contribute to the liberation from neo colonial invading occupiers, don't expect to have the first seat. And the rest of the west should mind its own business, taliban never told you how to run your own country.

[ibnebadr]

Blaming russia for interruption in US election and politics and now themselves which noone is noticing interfering in others politics and governments. Hypocrisy at its peak

[Zhiliang]

According to Duterte, US money always comes with strings attached...

[mehedihasane]

Movie : the Graveyard of Empires🪦
Taliban : I am a Actor
Pakistan : I am a Director
US : I am a Producer
Endia : I am just a toilet 🚽💩🇮🇳💩

Watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🤪

[abyrahman]

No women fought for the liberation of Afghanistan against the foreign occupiers. So, why should they be given a senior position in government? These guys earned it!

[bilaltilimsan]

Urgent | Chinese Foreign Ministry: We are ready to maintain communication with the leader of the Taliban and the government formed by the movement

[ellisa]

The people of Afghanistan didnt just all of a sudden 'find themselves in poverty', corruption of the foriegn appointed Government has prevented their betterment over the last 20 years...
Maybe now, foriegn aid will be able to be monitored and actually get to the people who need it.
Coward Ashraf Ghani should be held to account by the UN and coalition, have HIS accounts/assets frozen and the stolen aid money returned to the 'people of afganistan'

[aminoor]

If you care about Afghan women and children why do you stop ✋ humanitarian aid?

[jamilafatima]

Powerful military and Administration in world
Mulla Yaqooob 5 🌟 General and Defence minister 👏 👍

[kaziforge]

There’s no women among the top five posts.. boo hoo 😭😭😭😭 I can’t sleep and eat this week. Big deal

[melvimpoeta]

All male in afghan and all white in usa...whats the difference?

[danielaramburo]

Taliban: we are happy to announce our first female in the ruling council….. Brother Ahmed now identifies as female so the west must accept Brother Ahm….. I mean Sister Ahmed’s gender identity.

[samhouston]

The last one is a Tajik, there are Uzbeks and Tajikis in their government. The list is not complete and the government ministries are not all concluded, you picked the names that suites your narrative.
It’s done, It’s over, back off, stop Effing around with this country. Let them be. Not your Effing problem. SHutup…

[mohamedrahoy]

Taliban are upto the point here.i said it before puppets cannot be trusted, Taliban conquered Kabul by force but not through reconciliation....

[mahmudshiil]

These men are not corrupt contrary to the previous government.
They pay their 75 thousand army on time and they don't extort villagers like US puppet regimes.
That is why Local Afghans welcome Taliban to their towns and cities.
For women and inclusive government, the positions are not all distributed yet.

[mdsabilsarfaraz]
