Taliban chief Hibatullah Akhundzada appears publicly for the second time in six years, telling worshippers celebrating Eid al Fitr that the Taliban has achieved freedom and security since seizing power last year
This year, Afghans mark Eid al Fitr in the backdrop of a series of deadly attacks in the final two weeks of the holy month of Ramadan.
"Congratulations on victory, freedom and success," he told thousands of worshippers at the Eidgah mosque in the southern city of Kandahar. "Congratulations on this security and for the Islamic system." It was Akhundzada's second known public appearance since taking control of the Taliban in 2016. His public profile has largely been limited to the release of messages during Muslim holidays from his office in Kandahar.
Washington seized billions of dollars of Afghanistan's assets after it withdrew in August, deepening a humanitarian crisis in the country.
