Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar (known as Abdul and reportedly Trump’s favored Taliban) told Taliban members in an internal meeting not to fear Donald J. Trump 's warnings, to maintain their morale and to trust the Taliban leadership. He also added that he himself had cut off the mobile call with Trump, not the other way around (referring to Trump as “evil” in Abdul’s words). However, after repeated warnings from Trump, Taliban members have lost morale and the group’s leaders are struggling to restore it. It is reported that following Trump’s threat to return to Bagram, some Taliban members are refusing to carry out their duties, while others distrust the regime and its leaders and have prepared their passports for potential escape. #Afghanistan #Bagram

*In this video, Mr. Gelaman saying that, he requested the Afghan authorities for passport (Nationality). He explains that he went to the concern and urged not to grant it in name of greater Afghanistan or Asadkhel area of Waziristan, instead they can put address like Paktia or Helmand of Afghanistan as he (Gelaman Wazir) supported Afghanistan and its flag and opposed Pakistan and its army. Afghan government did not pay any attention to his request that time but now people like Hamid Karzai to Ashraf Ghani are tweeting in his support.

#Taliban leader Muhammad Nabi Umati admitted that #TTP is operating from Afghanistan. However he claims that TTP has been present in Afghanistan since the Ashraf ghani era , he added that Pakistan is having border force and fences , they should stop TTP . Even if TTP infiltrates and kills your soldiers, who gave you the rights to conduct airstrikes in Afghanistan and kill civilians. He also threatened that out militants are addicted to fighting, they are praying for the start of a war

Mr. President, a quick fact-check, with the lights on while Abdul gave you an exit. First, the war in Afghanistan did not suddenly end in 2021. The lights were already being switched off much earlier with the Doha EXIT Agreement your administration signed with the Taliban after direct talks with Abdul -Ghani Baradar. Second, that agreement excluded the Afghan Republic government and forced the release of around 5,000 Taliban prisoners, many of whom returned straight to the battlefield. Third, when the final withdrawal was taking place, the United States quite literally turned the lights off and left, while the Taliban largely allowed safe passage for your Generals & troops departing under the terms of the deal. So before rewriting history, it is worth remembering who negotiated the deal, opened the prison gates, and scheduled the exit. In short: the lights didn’t go out in Kabul in 2021, they were dimmed much earlier under your administration.

.Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Released After Three Days of House Arrest, Visits Residence of Prof. Abdul Ghani Bhat in Botingoo Sopore to Offer Condolences Sopore, September 20 2025 : After three days of house detention, Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Umar Farooq was released early this morning and allowed to visit the Botingoo, Sopore residence of senior Hurriyat leader and its former Chairman, Prof. Abdul Ghani Bhat, who passed away on Wednesday. Speaking at the occasion, Mirwaiz expressed deep sorrow at Prof. Bhat’s demise, describing it as a personal loss, as the deceased leader was to him an affectionate elder, dear friend, and guide. He deeply regretted that he was not allowed to participate in his jinazah. He said that Prof. Bhat was not only a respected academic and scholar but also a visionary politician who consistently upheld dialogue and moderation as the way forward. His passing, Mirwaiz said, is an irreparable loss for the people of Jammu & Kashmir. At the residence, Mirwaiz offered his sympathies to the family — his sons Mudassir Ghani Bhat, Jahangir Ghani Bhat, and Burhan Ghani Bhat — and other family members. Fatiha Khwani for the maghfirah of the departed soul was held. He prayed that Allah grant patience and strength to the bereaved family and said that Prof. Bhat’s legacy as a scholar, visionary, and dreamer of peace will continue to inspire.

⚡️Al Jazeera journalist Taysir Allouni, who covered the American invasion of Afghanistan: “I dare to say that the Pakistani state, with its army, its intelligence, and its Ministry of Interior, brutalized the cadres of the Afghan Taliban after 2001. When the Americans entered Afghanistan, most of the Taliban leadership sought refuge in the tribal areas in Pakistan. There were hunting campaigns against the entire Taliban movement carried out by Pakistan. The number of detainees from the Taliban in Pakistan reached the hundreds, perhaps the thousands, including ministers in the Afghan government. Among them was the Afghan Defense Minister Mullah Obaidullah, who was killed in Pakistani prisons because he was sick and did not receive medical assistance, and there was also humiliation and torture for everyone. So the Taliban carry bitter memories of Pakistan. Mullah Baradar, the current Deputy Prime Minister of Afghanistan, remained in Pakistani prisons for a long period. Ironically, he was only released from Pakistani prisons through American mediation because he had an “open-minded” mentality, and the Americans viewed his release as something that could facilitate negotiations for the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

"Welcome to Taliban" This person is Muhammed Yaseen from Kerala, and he runs a YouTube channel named "Yaseen Vlogs." Here is an invitation from This Mallu Peaceful to his fellow jihadi in Kerala, asking them to join him in Afghanistan (Taliban). He is enticing them with the promise of the latest models of machine guns. In an another video, he also claimed to be traveling with a Taliban leader in a car. I’m sure His words may serve as significant motivation for dormant cells in Kerala. We know the history of Kerala, where terrorism flourishes, the history of Kerala has seen instances of terrorism, and the relatively high number of individuals joining terrorist organizations from Kerala, compared to other states, underscores the seriousness of this issue.!! The marketing of the Taliban through his videos is a concerning issue, and it need intervention from the central government and related departments need to address this matter. Certainly, a thorough investigation into his purpose of visiting the Taliban is necessary to understand the situation better.!!

Taliban Harboring 20 Terror Groups Including TTP in Afghanistan, Says NRF Leader Ahmad Massoud Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, told the annual Rencontres AV Conference in France that at least 20 terrorist groups — including Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) — are operating from Afghan soil with the support of the Taliban. He said Tehreek-e-Taliban Afghanistan and TTP are “inseparable,” sharing the same ideology and functioning as “brothers.” Massoud warned that terrorist attacks in Pakistan have surged by 500 percent since the Taliban returned to power in Kabul. Massoud added that stability in the region requires Pakistan to acknowledge its past mistakes and support the Afghan people by backing a legitimate, representative government in Kabul. #aamajnews

Captain (Retired) Fazal Ghani Mian, the Pakistani aviator who piloted the inaugural Emirates flight from Dubai to Karachi on the 25th of October, 1985, had a distinguished career spanning 35 years with Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). During his tenure, he served in various capacities, including Chief Pilot, Training Pilot, Check Pilot, and VIP Pilot. Notably, Captain Mian played a pivotal role in training pilots for Emirates airline and participated in the maiden Emirates flight, EK 601, from Dubai to Karachi. During this historic flight, he was accompanied by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed, the Chairman of Emirates. In his role as a VIP pilot, Captain Mian operated special flights, including those between Pakistan and China. He facilitated important state visits, such as Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's trip to North Korea, and even delivered relief supplies to Guatemala following the devastating earthquake of 1976, demonstrating his expertise by landing on a high-altitude runway. Captain Fazal Ghani Mian passed away on the 29th of October, 2021, in Islamabad. In a series of interviews conducted by Saima Shabbir for Arab News, his loved ones and colleagues shared heartfelt memories: - "My father was a patriotic Pakistani who cherished both Emirates and PIA until his last breath. He envisioned a bright future for PIA and considered it a venerable institution," said his daughter, Lubna Ghani Hayauddin. - Reflecting on their marriage in 1962, his wife, Touhida Ghani, recalled, "I was fortunate to be his spouse. He was a kind-hearted man who balanced his dedication to work with his commitment to family. He guided me through life's journey and epitomized the essence of family life. Despite tempting job offers from Emirates, he remained loyal to PIA, keeping Pakistan as his anchor." - Captain Kamal Al-Karimi, who shared 35 years of camaraderie with Captain Mian, described him as "a devoted Pakistani, a true friend, and a passionate professional." He urged today's pilots and professionals to emulate Captain Mian's dedication in order to restore the national carrier to its former glory.

Very Important Update Some Taliban-friendly staffers at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are quietly making changes to our legislation that is supposed to defund the Taliban. The primary staffer involved is Thomas West, who lost his security clearance in August 2025. At President Trump’s direction, the Director of National Intelligence revoked his clearance for “politicization or weaponization of intelligence,” failure to safeguard classified information, and other “detrimental” conduct. Before joining the Senate as a Democratic staffer, Thomas West served as the Biden administration’s Special Representative to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where he politicized intelligence, manipulated assessments, and whitewashed the Taliban. Thomas West joined the Democratic staff of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee only one month before the House of Representatives passed our No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act. The bill was referred to that very Committee on June 23, 2025, where Thomas West has since been allowed to block it from advancing to a full Senate vote and is editing the legislation. The current edits include removing the two most important clauses: 1. Removing mandatory reporting to Congress on U.S. dollar and Afghani cash shipments that benefit the Taliban. 2. Removing mandatory reporting on NGOs that hire Taliban members, purchase goods and services from Taliban businesses, distribute aid to the Taliban fighters, whose NGO licenses were issued by the Taliban, and whose employees were vetted by the Taliban’s intelligence. The No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act is meaningless without these two clauses. If there is no obligation to report it, taxpayer money will continue flowing to the Taliban. Thomas West is deliberately creating loopholes. He does not want to defund the Taliban. He openly advocates for increased U.S. government engagement with the Taliban. He has called them technocrats, sincere, and professionals. He continues treating the Taliban as a legitimate counterterrorism partner of the United States. Thomas West still maintains communications with senior Taliban and Haqqani Network members even though he is no longer the U.S. Representative to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Thomas West is a Democratic staffer but the Foreign Relations Committee is Republican-controlled and led by Chairman James Risch of Idaho. This should not be tolerated. The Taliban is a terrorist group. Thomas West cannot be allowed to edit a bill intended to Defund the Taliban. Personally, I believe he should not even be near the Senate building or sensitive information after his security clearance was revoked. Please help spread this. Investigate and verify every claim for yourself. I am grateful for your support. Thank you. Shawn Ryan Rep. Tim Burchett Press Office

MPC Statement on Taliban Foreign Minister Muttaki’s Remarks Regarding the Killing of Photojournalist Danish Siddiqui The Mumbai Press Club expresses deep concern and outrage over the killing of Pulitzer Prize-winning Indian photojournalist Danish Siddiqui by the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2021. During a recent press conference, Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaki expressed regret over the killing of journalists, including Siddiqui, during their conflict. While this acknowledgment is noted, it remains grossly inadequate. We demand that the Government of India take serious note of this statement and formally seek an unconditional apology from the Taliban government for the brutal killing of Danish Siddiqui, who was performing his professional duty, courageously covering the war to bring truth to the world. His murder represents not only a grave injustice to his family but also a direct attack on press freedom and the safety of journalists globally. The Mumbai Press Club also appreciates independent journalist Smita Sharma for fearlessly raising this sensitive and important issue with the Taliban leadership, keeping alive the demand for accountability and justice for Danish Siddiqui.

He said that if a U.S. base had been established there, Iran might now also be in conflict with Afghanistan. Bikdeli added that the Taliban’s refusal to allow a U.S. military presence at Bagram stems from their religious beliefs and the Islamic principle that Muslims should not enable non-Muslims to attack other Muslims.

Known as one of the key figures in the Haqqani Network, a militant group designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Haqqani played a significant role in the Taliban's military and political activities. The U.S. government had placed him on its international terrorist list and announced a $5 million bounty for information leading to his capture or death.

#Tigray Interim President ‘plotted, organized’ army ‘coup d'état’ against Getachew’s admin; time to ‘recall him now’ - Lt. Gen. Tsadikan Lt. Gen. Tsadikan Gebretensae, former deputy president of Tigray’s interim administration, has accused the region’s current interim president, Lt. Gen. Tadesse Werede, of “plotting and organizing” an army “coup d’état” against the previous leadership led by Getachew Reda. Tsadikan, who says he is now working to “change Tigray’s politics,” alleged that Tadesse ‘sabotaged” the Pretoria Agreement–mandated interim government under Getachew’s leadership, and “squandered an undeserved opportunity” since he has come to the regional presidency. Tsadikan further claimed that Tadesse not only failed to deliver on the 8-points mandate given to him by the federal government, but ignored violation related to alleged contact by members of his administration with Eritrean forces, a claim led by the federal government. Declaring that “there is no government in Tigray,” Tsadikan called on the federal government to “recall him now.” Watch

ALERT: Taliban Confirm Detention of Two Americans For First Time, Most Likely Including Afghan-American Mahmood Shah Habibi The Taliban have, for the first time, officially confirmed that two American citizens are being held in Afghanistan, most likely including Afghan-American businessman Mahmood Shah Habibi. Speaking to TOLOnews, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said: “Two Americans are still in detention in Afghanistan. They were arrested for violating Afghan law. There are ways to resolve such issues, and in my view, the matter is not very serious. It is possible that their cases will be resolved soon. Their detention is legal, and their cases are in the courts. They had legal files, and we hope the issue will be resolved.” According to U.S. officials, one of the detainees is Dennis Coyle, an American academic and researcher who traveled to Afghanistan in 2025. Details about his detention remain limited, but he is reportedly under Afghan custody. The second, Mahmood Shah Habibi, is an Afghan-American businessman and former head of the civil aviation authority under the previous Afghan government. He disappeared in Kabul in 2022, and U.S. authorities believe he may be held by Afghan officials, although the Taliban have previously denied having him in custody. The Taliban’s confirmation comes as the U.S. Department of State has recently designated Afghanistan as a country supporting illegal detentions, highlighting rising tensions over the treatment of foreign nationals in the country.
