The leader of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, recently said that in Afghanistan there is no need for Western laws and that democracy was dead if the laws of Sharia were effective.
“There is no need for the laws that come from the West. We create our own laws,” Akhundzada said, spoke in Pashto and emphasized the importance of Islamic laws, reported.
Hibatullah Akhundzada made comments in sermons during Eid al-Fitr in the southern city of Eidgah Kandahar Mosque. The main spokesman for the Taliban government, Zabihullah Mujahid, shared a 50 -minute sound message on X.
Taliban dominates in Afghanistan
Since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in 2021, Akhundzada took a stronger hand in politics management, although some officials initially promised a milder rule.
The Taliban version of Sharia has resulted in the prohibitions of Afghan women and girls, which reduced their approach to education, many jobs and most public spaces. These measures wereolated by the Taliban at the international level, despite their diplomatic relations with countries such as China and the United Arab Emirates, show recent reports.
“US joined in hostility against Islam”
Akhundzada criticized the West on Sunday and said that the unbelievers had joined Muslims and that the US and others were linked to their hostility to Islam, quoted the war of Israel Hamas in Gaza, and AP reported.
Democracy ended in Afghanistan and Sharia was actually, he added the Taliban leader, and said that supporters of democracy were trying to separate people from the Taliban government.
The Taliban has no credible opposition inside or outside the country, but some higher characters in the management criticized the decision -making process of leadership and concentration of power in Akhundzad’s circle.
Some Taliban wants more engagement with the international community and the elimination of harder policies to attract more external support. In recent months, however, there has been an increased engagement between the Taliban and the US under President Donald Trump, mostly because of the exchanges and release of prisoners, AP reported.
Taliban’s Islamic Government
After the Brutal Civil War, the Taliban founded a strict Islamic government, but in 2001 it was excluded in 2001 by the US -led invasion. After downloading the US in 2021 they quickly gained power.
While the war officially ended with their takeover, the Taliban now faces ongoing attacks by the Islamic State and the uprising against the Taliban in some regions.
