From Jihad Unspun
According to Sana News, a spokesman for Taliban in southern Afghanistan, Maulvi Mahmood Ullah Haq Yar has said that the reports of divisions amongst the Taliban are false and that Mullah Mohammad Omar remains the supreme leader of Taliban. He said that the Taliban leadership has been organized in such a fashion that a 10 member Shura Committee is in charge of Taliban activities with Mullah Mohammad Omar leading the Council. The Shura appointed Hamid Agha as the main spokesman for the Taliban while Said ul Adil has been appointed Agha's representative. The Taliban have have different spokesman in each region who get authorization from Agha before releasing reports. The Shura can reorganize the Taliban leadership every six months and have the power to and fire or remove any Taliban commander other than Mullah Omar. This practice was in place even during the time the Taliban government ruled Afghanistan. The next meeting of the Shura will be next month and future policies are expected to be sanctioned at that time. Maulvi said that all thanks is to Allah that the Taliban is now organized and better equipped to continue its struggle against Kufr in the country. He also said that Maulvi Wakik Ahmed Mutawakkil, who was recently released from Cuba has not established direct relations with Taliban. He went on to say that should the Karzai government persuade Mutawakkil to join their government that it would have no effect in the Taliban struggle and should not be taken as the Taliban accepting the regime of Hamid Karzai. |
