Hibatullah Akhundzada, leader of the Taliban group, has summoned senior officials including governors and commanders to Kandahar for consultation regarding the fate of Bagram Air Base. The meeting began on Saturday, October 3rd, and is scheduled to continue for three days.
Sources confirmed that Akhundzada had previously discussed Trump’s request for reclaiming Bagram Air Base with some ministers and the Taliban’s chief justice, but wants to address this issue more comprehensively. In addition to Bagram, other topics will also be discussed during this meeting.
Donald Trump, the US President, has repeatedly emphasized reclaiming Bagram from the Taliban and described the 2021 withdrawal as a free gift to the Taliban. This issue has created concerns among the Taliban group and forced them to make decisions about this strategic military asset.
