#Taliban's supreme leader to Judges:
"Investigate the cases of robbers, kidnappers and seditionists thoroughly!
Those cases that have met all the Shariah conditions of #Had and #Qisas, you are obliged to implement the Had and Qisas punishments on the convicts, because this is ...

... the order of Sharia, my order and obligatory to act on it."
Note:
The Taliban are disappointed by the no recognition of their government by the international community. Meanwhile, internal pressure of hardliners, calling for implementation of Hudud, is increasing day to day.

ISKP is also criticising the #Taliban for postponing the implementation of Hudud, to satisfy the demands of foreigners (#IC).
The TB's supreme leader with such remarks& also his spokesman by sharing it on twitter, apparently want to satisfy the hardliners& convey a message to IC.

(3/22) Delivering hydropower w/o seasonality makes loads of sense from Ethiopian perspective, but overhauls natural timing of water reaching #Sudan & #Egypt. Behind many disagreements on #GERD lies downstream countries’ fear of s/o upstream having control over #BlueNile flow…
