The Taliban’s defense minister, Mullah Yaqub Mujahid, visited Helmand’s Al-Azm Corps during a visit to the province yesterday. During the visit, he praised the efforts of his fighters and said, “We have won by accepting the risk of life and property. You can also have patience, courage and drive corrupt people out of your ranks.” Bring the Islamic system to victory. ”
The senior Taliban official did not elaborate on who the corrupt individuals in their ranks were or what group they belonged to.
Some time ago, Mufti Latifullah Hakimi, the head of the Taliban’s letter-clearing commission, said that with more than 2,000 people being cleared, the Taliban’s lines had been cleared of unwanted individuals.
He also announced the end of the commission’s work.
Some observers believe that Mullah Yaqub’s remarks are intended to target the Haqqani network. Recently, rumors of a resurgence of differences between him and the network have been circulating.
