The Taliban have taken steps to appoint Mawlawi Abdul Kabir as the new prime minister of the Afghan Taliban government. The Taliban overthrew the US-led pro-Western government in Afghanistan and established their own government in August 2021. That was as soon as the American troops left Afghanistan.
In 2020, peace talks were held between Taliban representatives and US government representatives. It is about the future of Afghanistan after the American troops leave. The peace talks took place through the Taliban Peace Office in Doha, Qatar. 60-year-old Maulavi Abdul Kabir can be considered someone who played an important role in those discussions. Accordingly, Maulavi Abdul Kabir is considered to have good relations with Western countries including America.
When America invaded Afghanistan in 2001, Maulavi Abdul Kabir was the Acting Prime Minister of the previous Taliban government. After the American invasion in 2001, the American government also imposed sanctions on Abdul Kabir. (Reuters)
