Mawlawi Abdul Kabir has been appointed acting Minister of Refugees and Repatriation.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, stated that this decision was made based on a decree issued by the leader of the Islamic Emirate.

Regarding the matter, Mujahid said: "The changes in the Deputy Premiership and the appointment of Mawlawi Abdul Kabir as Acting Minister of Refugees are routine measures aimed at improving governance. This is not a new development unfamiliar to the officials of the Islamic Emirate."

Jabar Akbari, a political analyst, said: "Appointments and dismissals are necessary in all systems. One person leaves, and another is appointed. However, such changes should prioritize the national interests of the people and uphold all the values of the Afghan nation."

Although the leader of the Islamic Emirate has appointed Mawlawi Abdul Kabir as the Acting Minister of Refugees, it is still unclear who will assume the responsibility of the Political Deputy Premiership.

Over the past week, Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Islamic Emirate’s political office in Doha, was appointed acting Ambassador of the Islamic Emirate to Qatar. Additionally, Mohammad Naeem, the former acting ambassador, has been appointed as the Administrative Deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Fazl Rahman Oria, another political analyst, said: "Shaheen is a highly influential political and diplomatic figure. I believe he will have an even greater impact in his new position."

Mawlawi Abdul Kabir is originally from Paktika province and was born in the Tangai Zadran village of Nahrin district in Baghlan province. He has held various positions within the Islamic Emirate.

During the first term of the Islamic Emirate, he served as Governor of Logar and Nangarhar provinces and also headed the Eastern Zone Administration.
