Pakistan running Taliban-ruled Afghanistan government through Haqqani Network

This was the very first indication of the influence that the HQN was going to play in post-US withdrawal from Afghanistan. 

New Delhi: As soon as the Taliban took over Kabul on August 15, a new security chief was appointed by the outfit to control the city and its chaotic airport. The new security chief, Khalil-ul-Rehman Haqqani, a prominent commander of the Haqqani Network (HQN), soon took to the streets of Kabul along with his fighters and seized the entry and exit points to the Kabul airport.  This was the very first indication of the influence that the HQN was going to play in post-US withdrawal from Afghanistan. A similar indication was reflected when another top leader, Anas Haqqani met Dr. Abdullah Abdullah to accelerate the process of transferring powers to the Taliban. Currently, he has been entitled with the responsibility of negotiating with the stakeholders for the formation of Taliban led government in the country. Besides, Abdul Aziz Abbasin, who happens to be the son of HQN founder Jalaluddin Haqqani, is managing the supplies of weapons and ammunition to prepare for a continued battle with the ‘Panjshir Resistance’ forces and to silence the dissenting groups across Afghanistan.
