New Taliban Faction Emerges In Paktika
[Tolo News] A new faction of the Taliban has reportedly emerged in Paktika...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... province of Afghanistan - a faction that claims it will wage war against foreign-funded groups. Mullah Obidullah Hunar is believed to be the leader of newly formed group and claims that Mullah Akhtar Mansour is funded by Pak intelligence and therefore they do not recognize him as their leader. The newly emerged Taliban faction said that after this they will conduct Jihad against groups funded by Pakistain intelligence. "Our judge and court stay hidden in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. . For this I don't accept such judge and court and they cannot select our leader," Hunar said. "I will not become a Pakistain slave and I will not let my tribe become one either. I do not accept such Talibs who are funded by Pakistain and get their orders from Islamabad," he said. After the news emerged last year of the death of the Taliban leader Mullah Omar ... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality... , Mullah Akhtar Mansour was announced as his successor. This move has been faced with much criticism and the Taliban as a group has split into a number of factions. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-16 |
