Taliban leaders had a massive brawl after disagreeing over which of them did the most to boot the US out of Afghanistan, report says

Top members of the Taliban had a massive brawl after falling out over who did the most to secure victory in Afghanistan, the BBC reported, citing senior officials of the militant group.

The fight between two factions in the Taliban leadership took place inside the Afghan presidential palace in Kabul late last week and came after a debate over who had most to drive the US military out of their country, the BBC reported.

The parties also clashed over who should get which cabinet roles in their new government, the BBC reported.

...

Leading one side of the fight was Taliban cofounder and interim deputy prime minister Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the BBC said, while the other was led by Khalil ur-Rahman Haqqani, the minister for refugees.

Taliban sources told the BBC that the argument broke out because Baradar was unhappy about the makeup of the interim government.

I feel bad, but this made me laugh.

1. I can't help but laugh.

The factions inside Afghanistan are going to brawl like this, and maim and kill each other.

Local warlords, dope gang leaders, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and so on.

2. Too bad orange idiot doesn't take a trip out there.

3. In my best Emperor Pallpatine voice....

"Good, good."

[AZLD4Candidate]

11. Monty Burns voice:

"Excellent"

[Escurumbele]

4. They are wasting their time, this is one time when trump-the-buffoon won. He did the most to boot

the USA out of Afghanistan, he left very little choice to the Biden administration after "negotiating" with the Taliban and taking 8,500 troops out thus weakening the USA.

And like someone said, we were left with a deadline, not a plan, like everything the buffoon does, he can't think of consequences because his daddy always got him out of trouble.

9. The Con didnt win anything. He was president and left a mess

For Biden to clean up. Thats a massive failure, not a win.

[Turbineguy]

5. Yeah.

These guys know what it takes to run a national government.

6. From the BBC article

[BBC Pashto division has been around since the early 1980s]

Source-https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58560923

snip--"The Taliban have officially denied the reports."

snip--"One Taliban source told BBC Pashto that Mr Baradar and Khalil ur-Rahman Haqqani - the minister for refugees and a prominent figure within the militant Haqqani network - had exchanged strong words, as their followers brawled with each other nearby."

snip--Meanwhile, Afghanistan's acting foreign minister on Tuesday called for international donors to restart aid, saying the international community should not politicise their assistance."

more at source and worth the time IMO.

The foreign minister is totally aware, again my opinion, that the coming always hard winter will surely make the anticipated famine much much worse.

7. That's so sad

[ShazamIam]

8. It looks like they were more concerned about public perception than public health.

[abqtommy]

10. It's obvious to me that top positions in the new Afghan government should go

to tRUMP and his master sPUTIN since they did the most to put the Taliban back
into power.

12. For some reason, I get images of the three stooges in my mind.

[sdfernando]

13. Well....this is exactly what Afghanistan is...just a conglomeration of different factions

often at odds with each other...often fighting each other. It really should be just a bunch of small countries.

[brush]

15. Yep, warlords have held sway for centuries there.

Glad we're out, should've been out years ago. Let that nation's system of government evolve organically.

There just might be a civil war brewing, something not uncommon after violent government change. We as a nation haven't been exactly successful in installing democracy in places where such a system is completely foreign.

What chutzpah we've had over the last century plus to think we could just impose our system upon other nations.

[sdfernando]

16. The U.S has tried it and failed.

The USSR tried it and failed.
The UK tried it.....THREE TIMES....and failed.
Alexander the Great tried it and failed.


....apparently we don't learn!

[brush]

17. Yeah, it's like family dynamics in a way. They fight among themselves...

but fight back fiercely if outsiders try to come in.

[Martin68]

14. Was it a "brawl" or just an "argument?" Very misleading headline.

[Deminpenn]

18. Where is PPV TV when you need it?
