The Taliban condemned on Sunday a 'baseless and biased' report from the U.N. Security Council highlighting rifts within the group's ranks. The last seven months have seen a greater shift of power from the capital Kabul to the southern city of Kandahar, a Taliban heartland and the base of the group's supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada.
The Taliban condemned on Sunday a "baseless and biased" report from the U.N. Security Council highlighting rifts within the group's ranks.
Key figures, such as the Taliban's main spokesman, have set up offices in the south of Kandahar. Monumental decrees such as those excluding women and girls from education and work were issued from the city instead of Kabul. Rumours of disagreement between the group's leaders are a continuation of the propaganda of the past 20 years, he said. "The publication of such biased and baseless reports by the Security Council does not help Afghanistan and international peace and security, rather, it increases worry among the people ."
