- Acting Prime Minister, Mullah M. #Hassan_Akhund, as the 1st speaker, offered his speech:
"People who have ruined our nation& our country in the past two decades& moved to foreign countries, still create problems for our people even though we do not make any troubles for them."

- Acting Prime Minister: "Now the #Islamic_system has established, we must do all we can to strengthen it. The IEA is making efforts in all areas to respond to all miseries. There may be #problems in some fields, but whoever shares them with us, we will take steps to solve them."

"Ulema& tribal elders should strengthen unity&all should keep away from divisions& differences.

Sayed Nasrullah Waezi, a Shia scholar from Bamyan to the participants of the Ulema conference in Kabul:
"One of our biggest responsibilities is to ensure unity and harmony. Colonizers are trying to divide our country, but we should foil their agendas with our unity."

Another speaker, Mawlawi Mujib-u–Rahman Ansari told the participants of the Grand Assembly:
"The Ulema here should make/issue a joint Fatwa that anyone who stand against the IEA or even take a small action against the Islamic Emirate, should be #beheaded."

No live video coverge for the Kabul gathering but the state-run @BakhtarNA is reporting:
"Sheikh Mohammad Saeed Hashemi from #Balkh said, the #IEA has done two great actions. One that it fought valiantly against the #invaders& the second was #pardoning enemies after its victory."

As I already warned, the Taliban's big gathering in Kabul was targeted by an unknown group. TB's spokesman, as always, denied the #attack&called it the security forces' firing at a suspecious target but a pro-TB twitter account released photos, showing 2 dead bodies of armed men.

#Taliban's acting Defense Minister and deputy to Amir-ul-Mominin, Mawlawi #Yaqub_Mujahid, told to the participants of the #Ulema's gathering in Kabul, that the IEA officials, including him, need the #advices of Ulema and respect their views and advices.

#Taliban spokesman:
"The Islamic Emirate would try to implement all the suggestions& demands of Islamic scholars."
Note:
This event is apparently a symbolic consultative Jirga. Ulema&Tribal Elders will announce their support to IEA&advise TB's leadership.

#Taliban's Spokesma:
12,000 IEA security forces are assigned to ensure #security of the #Afghanistan_Ulema_Gathering.

Second Day of the #Afghanistan_Ulema_Gathering:
Deputy PM Mawlawi Salam Hanafi said, "#poppy_cultivation is #banned in the country. His Highness Amir ul-Mu'minin has decided that no poppy will be grown in the country anymore.
Five million Afghans are addicted& it needs to stop."

As expected, the #Taliban's Supreme Leader, Sheikh #Hibatullah_Akhundzada, appeared in the Afghanistan #Ulema_gathering in Kabul.
"The Supreme Leader of the IEA joined the Islamic scholars’ conference.
He would speak to the conference in a while," state-run @BakhtarNA reported.

Sirajuddin #Haqqani:
"When the #Doha_Agreement was signed, the backers of invaders here became very uncomfortable& unsure of their future.
But thank God, the Amir of IEA announced #general_amnesty for all& delivered his message of kindness& mercy to all our people."
@BakhtarNA

Sheikh Hibatullah:
"We ask #traders to return, there is no fear for them, they can open factories&to invest in their country, because foreign aid cannot build our economy, rather, it would make us more dependent. Get united. Don't allow oppression, bullying& security disruption."

Sheikh Hibatullah:
"I #forgave oppressors of the former regime. I don't hold them accountable for their past actions& if anyone created troubles for them, without committing new crimes, I will #punish them. However, forgiveness doesn't mean to bring them to the govt."
