Taliban’s caretaker cabinet is most ideal in past 50 years: Hekmatyar
2021-09-12
Pakistan approves.
[KhaamaPress] Head of Hezb-e-Islami Gulbadin Hekmatyar said that the interim cabinet of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is the most ideal one he has seen in the past five decades in Afghanistan as it does not include dual passport holders.
Hek throws em a bone. As usual, he misses
Though he himself is not part of the cabinet, he has praised the cabinet as it is free of seculars and what he called agents of other countries.

Gulbadin Hekmatyar said that the announcement of the interim cabinet was an urgent requirement since there was a complete political vacuum.

He also suggested the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
be cautious in reopening those embassies that were part of the 20 years’ war and killed over one million people in Afghanistan.

The Head of Afghanistan’s largest political party also accused the defense minister of the previous government Bismullah Muhammadi of stealing 17 helicopters and other military equipment.

He said that Muhammadi was appointed as defense minister before the US’s full withdrawal and he stole hundreds of Humvees, rangers, artilleries, and other military equipment to fight the Taliban.

On the cabinet, Hekmatyar said that it includes those who have been in Bagram and Guantanamo and have fought NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
He said that the Taliban has said the cabinet to be flexible and added that they have to be given time.
