Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Taliban group, during his sudden two-day visit to Kabul, held meetings at the Ministry of Interior, the Ex Presidential Palace, and the Supreme Court of the Taliban with officials of this group.
Initially, in a three-hour speech at a meeting with governors and Taliban police commanders in Kabul, attended by Minister of Interior Sirajuddin Haqqani, Minister of Defense Mullah Yaqoob, and Director of General Directorate of Intelligence Abdul Haq Wasiq, he emphasized the importance of obedience, stating that obedience to the Amir is a fundamental pillar of Islam and obligatory for all.
Moreover, he urged them to prioritize the promotion of faith and beliefs. He stressed that government employees should not shave their beards under any circumstances, wear Islamic (Afghan) clothing, memorize verses and hadiths, and constantly encourage people to pray and be faithful.
Examinations usually inquired from religious sciences, even from technology and engineering experts.
He also instructed his governors, “There should be no distinction between the Persian and Pashto languages. If anyone violates this, they will be brought to court and punished.”
This verbal decree comes at a time when Persian aversion has peaked, and Persian has been removed from most government documents. Directives, laws, writings, and official correspondence that are exchanged by the authorities of this group, including its leader, are now exclusively written in Pashto, and visitors are required to speak in Pashto, as some officials of this group are not proficient in Persian or deliberately feign ignorance of it.
Additionally, during this visit, Akhundzada emphasized the collection of beggars and the prevention of begging, with the Ministry of Justice of this group officially publishing it in a decree.
Akhundzada has prohibited healthy individuals, labourers, and those who have their daily sustenance from begging, as well as banned the use of children, disabled individuals, and impaired persons for begging.
This is happening while due to poverty and unemployment in the country, the presence of beggars in urban areas is noticeable, and yet this group has not designed a detailed policy to control and support the livelihood of beggars, merely resorting to issuing orders to prohibit begging without creating opportunities for the people.
Many women and children who provide for their families through begging in the streets, extending their hands and begging from passersby day and night to feed their families, raise the fundamental question of what will become of those who sustain their families through this means, and who will address the challenges that grip them. Will it be the international community, led by the USA, or Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the number one figure of the Taliban group?
