Islamabad, July 18, 2021: Good news has come at last. The leader of the Taliban Hibatullah Akhundzada has given today the best news ever. He blessed the resolving of the Afghan issue through peaceful means. A slap in the face is given to the militant. Haqqani network is now doomed. Saif ul Adil could probably be packing his luggage somewhere else. Perhaps, he would opt for Mu Ko Thong islands.

Akhundzada is no ordinary person. He is also a religious scholar. He had been the head of the Taliban’s Islamic courts. Nobody should be better in the fatwas. Thus everyone should face his verdicts and toe line and adapt.

With his activation, there is a glimpse of hope that we are knocking on the doors of stability in the region.
