The Taliban have named Maulvi Abdul Kabir as Afghanistan's acting Prime Minister.He replaced Mullah Muhammad Hassan Akhund on this post, since the latter reportedly fell ill, Kabul-based Khaama Press and Amu TV said on Wednesday.The move was confirmed by the hardline Islamic group's chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who said that Hassan Akhund has not been seen in Kabul since he went to Kandahar to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr in April.Though the Taliban have cited Hassan Akhund's ill health as the reason behind his replacement, the development comes only days after Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani had criticized the group's "exclusivity of power"."The system should not be that small and exclusive that only members of religious schools (madrasas) would see them represented," Haqqani said last week. "We should not make the system small and exclusive, but this government belongs to all people."Coming back to Abdul Kabir, he's among the senior-most Taliban members and was part of the group that negotiated the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in Qatar.The talks between then US President Donald Trump's special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and the Taliban led to the signing of the Doha accord between the two sides, resulting in the withdrawal of NATO troops from the war-torn nation.Hailing from the Paktika province in the eastern part of Afghanistan, Abdul Kabir also acted as Nangarhar province's governor during the Taliban's first stint in Kabul from 1996-2001.* under UN sanctions for terrorism

Amid Reports of Rift, Taliban Appoints Maulvi Kabir as Prime Minister
The Taliban* stormed back to power in Kabul in August 2021 but failed to form an inclusive government, a fact which has become a bone of contention between its various factions.
The Taliban have named Maulvi Abdul Kabir as Afghanistan's acting Prime Minister.
He replaced Mullah Muhammad Hassan Akhund on this post, since the latter reportedly fell ill, Kabul-based Khaama Press and Amu TV said on Wednesday.
The move was confirmed by the hardline Islamic group's chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who said that Hassan Akhund has not been seen in Kabul since he went to Kandahar to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr in April.
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister went to Kandahar over Eid and then he was ill and needed rest," Mujahid said.
Though the Taliban have cited Hassan Akhund's ill health as the reason behind his replacement, the development comes only days after Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani had criticized the group's "exclusivity of power".
"The system should not be that small and exclusive that only members of religious schools (madrasas)
would see them represented," Haqqani said last week. "We should not make the system small and exclusive, but this government belongs to all people."
Coming back to Abdul Kabir, he's among the senior-most Taliban members and was part of the group that negotiated the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in Qatar.
The talks between then US President Donald Trump's special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and the Taliban led to the signing of the Doha accord between the two sides, resulting in the withdrawal of NATO troops from the war-torn nation.
Hailing from the Paktika province in the eastern part of Afghanistan, Abdul Kabir also acted as Nangarhar province's governor during the Taliban's first stint in Kabul from 1996-2001.
