The Taliban leadership has appointed Mawlawi Abdul Hakim, the chief justice of the group, as head of their 21-member negotiating team in Qatar, making the former chief negotiator Abbas Stanekzai his deputy.

Sources close to the Taliban said that most of the fatwas (rulings) of the group, particularly on war, are issued by Mawlawi Abdul Hakim and that he will attend the negotiating table with full authority.

Afghan senators, who held their first session since the end of the summer recess on Sunday, called on the country’s political leaders to end their dispute on the structure of the High Council for National Reconciliation and warned there wlll be tragic consequences if the disagreements remain unsolved.
