From the Deadly Silence of the Taliban Leader to the Sharp Response of Sirajuddin Haqqani.<\/strong><\/p>\n Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban\u2019s supreme leader, has yet to issue any official reaction or statement.<\/strong><\/p>\n This comes as targeted Pakistani attacks on military centers and urban areas in Afghanistan \u2014 including Kabul and several other cities \u2014 have intensified.<\/strong><\/p>\n This meaningful silence has heightened concerns regarding Taliban cohesion and the group\u2019s potential future response.<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban\u2019s Interior Minister, warned on Friday during a speech at the Grand Mosque in Khost province that Pakistan\u2019s continued attacks would force the Taliban into a \u201cnational uprising.\u201d He said Pakistan would pay a \u201cheavy price.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Haqqani stressed that the Taliban are not among those who withdraw from defending their country and people. He called on regional and global actors to facilitate dialogue and reduce tensions.<\/strong><\/p>\n He also stated that \u201cthe door to negotiations remains open,\u201d and that the Taliban are still prepared for diplomacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n Haqqani described Pakistan\u2019s actions as \u201cshameful.\u201d He emphasized the need for unity and alignment among Taliban members.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, analysts believe the Interior Minister\u2019s sharp stance reflects a visible difference in tone between Sirajuddin Haqqani and Hibatullah Akhundzada. The Taliban leader remains silent and has not issued direct threats.<\/strong><\/p>\n A matter that could carry serious implications for the group\u2019s decision-making toward Pakistan.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From the Deadly Silence of the Taliban Leader to the Sharp Response of Sirajuddin Haqqani.
