Time names Taliban's Baradar in list of 100 most influential in 2021

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Time magazine named Afghanistan’s Taliban
Taliban

...Arabic for students...
co-founder and current deputy prime minister Abdul Ghani Baradar one of the 100 most influential people in 2021 under the "leaders" category.

The magazine described Baradar as a "charismatic military leader and a deeply pious figure" who "stands as the fulcrum for the future of Afghanistan."

The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan on August 15 and shortly after announced their interim government which was made up of senior group members.

Baradar was appointed deputy PM, and there are currently reports of conflict and strife within the group over the structure of the government.

The BBC reported on Tuesday, citing Taliban sources, that the conflict was over credit for the group’s victory in Afghanistan, with Baradar believing diplomats, like himself, should get the lion’s share of the credit; while the Haqqani group — a paramilitary group run by one of the most senior Taliban figures and whose leader is the current interior minister — believes fighters achieved the most.

However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
Baradar denied the reports of an internal disagreement in an interview with state TV on Wednesday: "The media says that there is internal disputes. There is nothing between us, it is not true."
