Taliban continues holding gatherings in Pakistan despite Afghanistan anger
2015-08-22
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan Taliban leaders continue holding gatherings in Pakistain amid rift caused due to the appointment of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor as group's new chief.

Despite the Afghan government's frustration with Pakistain for allowing forces of Evil to meet on its territory, Mullah Mansoor met with the influential holy mans in a bid to heal a rift after the death of Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.

Afghan officials slammed Pakistain for providing shelter to myrmidon groups which grabbed credit behind a series of deadly bombings in capital Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
earlier this month.

In the meantime, the group's front man Zabiullah Mujahid has said the meeting between several Taliban leaders and the holy mans ended without a conclusion to remove differences.

Mullah Mansoor was appointed as the new Taliban chief shortly after Mullah Mohammad Omar's death was confirmed, sparking differences among the senior Taliban figures, including Mullah Omar
... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality...
's son who rejected the way Mullah Mansoor was selectd.

It was expected that the holy mans council would announce their decision regarding the group's new chief on Thursday.

There are fears of further rift among the Taliban leadership if a new leader is appointed for the Taliban group and Mullah Mansoor and his supporters decline to accept the outcome.

Mullah Mansoor is backed by the Al-Qaeda and the powerful Haqqani terrorist network.
