WASHINGTON (US): Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar – Deputy Prime Minister in the New Taliban Caregiver Government who was just announced and the top figure in the DOHA agreement – has been named among the 100 most influential people by Time Magazine.
Mullah Baradar leads the Taliban in negotiations with the US during a peace agreement.
Baradar is considered a calm and secret man who rarely gives public statements.
He represents a more moderate current in the Taliban.
In February 2020, when US special representatives for Afghanistan reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad officially signed a peace agreement in Doha, Baradar was the main face of the Taliban.
Recently, when the Taliban gained power in Afghanistan, it was in the provisions of Baradar negotiated.
He was said to make all the main decisions, including the amnesty offered to members of the previous regime, lack of bloodshed when the Taliban entered Kabul and contacts of the regime and visits with neighboring countries, especially Chinese and Pakistan magazines.
In 2010, Baradar was arrested in Pakistan by the country’s security forces and released in 2018 when the US intensified efforts to leave Afghanistan.
However, despite the founder of the Taliban and has played a major role in negotiations with the US, it is believed that Baradar has been given a relatively lower position in a briefing government.
