Taliban Leader Warns of Internal Divisions

Taliban Leader Warns of Internal Divisions

The leader of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, is worried about people within his own government fighting each other.

He thinks this could cause big problems for the Taliban, who took control of Afghanistan in 2021.

A secret recording of his speech was shared by the BBC.

He believes that if the Taliban don't work together, they might lose power.

This shows that the biggest threat to the Taliban might not be from outside, but from inside their own group.
