Mullah Baradar headed the Taliban Doha unit and Haqqani network, a semi-independent Taliban terror outfit operating in eastern Afghanistan and the Kandahar faction. Taliban took control of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021; subsequently, US-led NATO forces left the war-torn country before August 31.
Sources said that Pakistan has been working out a compromise formula to anointing Mullah Akhund as prime minister. Mullah Baradar and Mullah Yakub, son of Mullah Omar, are likely to serve as Mullah Akhund’s deputies. Siraj Haqqani of the Haqqani network is expected to become an interior minister in the new government.
Mullah Hassan Akhund served as a minister in the Taliban-controlled Afghanistan government before the US-led army announced war against the Taliban.
