n images released on Friday, December 13, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, leader of the Hezb-e-Islami Afghanistan, is seen next to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban's interior minister.
These images were simultaneously released by Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban's Minister of Interior; Abdul Matin Qane, the group's spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, and Habib-ur-Rahman Hekmatyar, the son of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
The leader of the Hezb-e-Islami Afghanistan has gone to Paktia to attend the funeral of Khalil-ur- Rehman Haqqani, at a time when many Taliban leaders are said to be on bad terms with him due to his past positions and actions.
After 2001, the Hezb-e-Islami, led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, fought alongside the Taliban against the republican regime in Afghanistan, and like the Taliban, members of this party even carried out suicide attacks. Until, in 2017, after the signing of the peace agreement, he came out of hiding and came to Kabul.
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar was optimistic about the Taliban regaining control of Afghanistan, but gradually became critical of the group's performance. The Taliban had previously accused him of usurping government land.
With the resumption of Taliban rule in Afghanistan and the ban on political parties in the country, the activities of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's party have also been banned.
