I think he was recruited. His English so good that you’ll think twice.
If i was just listening him talk and not watch the screen. I would of thought he was an american
omg…I am surprised to see this.
this is not what I expected the Taliban to be.
Look at the Al Khara crowed cheering on the Taliban. Expected nothing better of you. Tafrikh alshaytan
RL GTA server
Anyone that did not fall in line is *Terrorist*
Simple definition.
His name means misery for his enemies. But boy looks so soft againt his name’s definition
The woman seems a bit into him..
Taliban, Pakistan – We are not terrorist ! – Biggest joke of century.
Will wait when Taliban gets to decide what Pakistani women should wear, what length , how much to cover and what category of women should server Talibani .
This guy > Biden
So hepocreate too much I see the hepocrasy yes you are you go to Kabul with arm so whats the msg on that
Mashallah ❤️
Tbh he’s charming with his words. :3
I can’t understand why these reporters always start speaking their own narratives in middle of a press conference and interviews. This man speaks good English let him speak for gods sake
Garbage
May Afghanistan prosper as a country. Amin.
Then why people are leaving Afganistan??
dollar$$$$
I can confirm that people think they are terrorists
The world cannot be saved.
when did he even learn english this good wtf lol
As long you use a fake religion to lead a country nothing will work for the citizens .but only for the leaders that fill their Bankaccounts . abusing people with religious nonsense .start to cut your own hands already because you steal freedom from your citizens
uh so anyone not falling in line is labeled terrorist and not because of the countless beheadings and murder? what a pitty!
Wow salute,,,his English spoken so ployent ,,
He sounds like he was taught English by an Australian
Bull$HiT
PLANNED
Everyone outside Afghanistan: Taliban are barbarians, barely human
Taliban spokesperson: *speaks flawless English, and makes logical points*
Everyone outside Afghanistan: Biden sucks
Jorge masvidal in the thumbnail
Me: hmm…he speaks better than trump and biden.
In my head: he cute xD
Its funny how naive people here seems to be. There is no reason to believe a word someone says who is not credible. If you base your attitude towards how they will govern on this short interview, you have much to learn young fellows.
Made in Afghanistan by Biden.
The Taliban were “forced to enter” to replace security. Who were the Taliban defending the country from once the Afghan army left?
Corn pop wins !
Propaganda at its finest
if Taliban is serious in these new implementations, then i guess it’s way better than the previous government..
This comment section does not pass the vibe check😐
Dude, scripted
Taliban are not terrorists but they are extremists. At no place Islam is interpreted as harsh as they do. And they use violence to enforce their rules onto people may or may not agree with them. They must build the country on common agreements or else they are nothing different than ISIS.
🤬🤬🤬🤬
America thought him excellent english…
I’m here that I just wonder what is the name (Taliban Speaker)? Can anybody tell me who is he?
Abdul Qahar Balkhi.
@Omar HR Well, Thank you Brother!!!
What is his accent? Almost sounds Australian or New Zealand
He is Talibani really…. 😎
Monsters
Talibans return after 21.5 years of us regime all well dressed up, full with highest quality weapons and speaking great english
*hmmm*
Let us wait and see if POWER CORRUPTS and ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY !!!!
Islamic system is not power centric, it is by definition Allah centric. In Islamic Shariah, the ultimate sovereignty only belongs to Allah.
@Sauban Sada The problem is even in Christianity, there are men who pretend to be middleman/middlemen between God and we mere mortals
sie ist eine schöne Reporterin😜
His English is perfect
We should’nt harbour any Afghanistan. I’m native English, pay my taxes and we should be looking after our own British ex-soldiers of which some are homeless, have mental issues due to their tours in Afghanistan and who went there to protect the Afghan’s in the first place. All the Taliban want, is to return the country to a pure Islamic state and not a pathetic western ideology of freedom. No western state should intervene any pure religious culture!
No western state especially USA should intervene on any religious culture! You will never defeat the Taliban and it will be vietnam all over again. America and Americans have becoming the most hated nation in the entire world and soon will have no allies and what will happen then. The US with its spending deficiet is now an under power or has no power status at all in the eyes of the world’s nation. Our freedon has become a joke.
Finally. The Talibans speak peacefully
Any white girl would like to marry that Taliban lad?
2.58 i think she fall in love with him

just kidding
It seems like Taliban won so easily because they are the only group that has the desire to rule Afghanistan as a nation… I think people in the West completely fails to understand that Afghans don’t look at themselves as one group of people, like we normally do. Their loyalty is to their respective clans, and they subordinate to whoever is the most powerful. 20 years ago it was Taliban, then it was NATO, and when they left, it was right back to Taliban.
Taliban =Terrarisum
Taliban not a ISLAM
The devil is a smooth talker, too.
So now after they make a new government what happen next.
The Zoinist’s Media need to be defeated by such out spoken people of Afghanistan.
He is highly educated man, even American or any English man can’t speak or write like him. Well done.
Not so fast–some Afghan warriors are fearlessly fighting the Taliban right now.
Are you stoopid? Talibam are also Afghan.
This will be the ISIS country
A Taliban that speaks better English than Joe Biden.
Fake govt.fake promises… Tail of dog can’t change
He has a New Zealand Accent…
ALLAHU AKBAR
Oh baised interview good going .
Bullshit new government
This guy is pretty good looking…And young too…He shouldn’t waste his life like this with this type of group…
Yea instead he should go to the west catch STDs and become drug addict, and spend the rest of his miserable life working to pay taxes to fund the government wars on poor countries
a taliban who knows
Is this all you people need to be impressed by a terrorist? Him being “well spoken”? He can be well spoken and cut the tongue out of a 6 year old at the same time, which is probably something he does in his past time.
@Abc Bbq ok whatever. This comment section has one of those AI bots that automatically delete comments with certain keywords so I cannot have a real discussion with you. Not only that but if I am logged in with my account I cannot tell if it was deleted or not. This is so ironic though. No freedom in this comment section either. Just like Islam.
@medicore0000 nice escape, just say it out loud, you’re speaking in a subject you have 0 knowledge about.
@Abc Bbq sure I do. I know its evil. That is knowledge.
@Abc Bbq you’d have to be quite slow in the head to need to read an entire book to see how evil Islam is. Ever think about that?
@medicore0000 wow so much knowledge, no wonder the average pig is smarter than a westerner
I know most of you would disagree bt ,i think we should give the Taliban’s a chance right? After all we have to admit that Taliban’s are dedicated people if you can cultivate it in a good way Afghanistan will be a better nation.
People are feeling their country, falling from planes to death, families torn apart, women raped, men executed and the English he is speaking is appreciated. Long live humanity…
Maybe it’s time to stop listening to western propaganda
He was speaking with sense until asked about woman’s rights xD I love how they like to impose their Religion on every aspect of everyone’s life, It’s Religion that’s true leader in far east not People, and that’s absolutely disgusting.
How if muslim describe liberalism as new “modern godless religion”?
@Sauban Sada I don’t know, I don’t care, but if you live by rules of an ancient book written by no one else but normal human who tried to make sense out of it, it’s disgusting 🤣 you could literally rule your country over by the rules and right of The Lords of the Rings Trilogy, that would be pretty much the same nonsense ;P
@Ernest Mazurek you only can speak like this if you know the subject
@allen walker is there something more to it then ? Is it geographic or cultural related? It doesn’t matter after allm
This is childsplay. As soon as he started talking sense about terrorism and US, they cut his world. Childsplay. Wont work
If the elites didn’t want something to happen, it wouldn’t happen.
2021: When the western medias face of the Taliban speaks better and more coherent English than the former American president.
I thought why Conor McGregor turned Talibani by that thumbnail lol 🤣🤣
“disconnect between the people of Kabul and the Taliban” “blaming it on decades of conflict”
Is it the conflict (war)? Or the extremist religious part?
Good English aside, these dudes are extremely slimy…
Nuke now
Politicians can learn from his way of speech
Wow people here are fooled easily. These people actually stone women to death for breaking medieval laws.
Check out all the Muslim Taliban fans & sympathisers in the comments 😄. A ‘tiny’ radical minority I’m sure…
İngiliz abd afgan😅😅
I wonder how the f**k he can speak english so well. I mean he is a Talib who barely knows Dari. I wonder why they send such a fu$king beautiful journalist to interview him🤦♂️😬
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)
Qur’an 49:13
hmm.. one sentence caught me.
“Security abandoned their posts and we were forced to ask our forces to enter and takeover security”.
This right here is really important tho, because ISIS and the Talibans are not in peace with each other. They’ve been at war since 2015.
And we should not forget that Al Qaeda also exists in these areas, even if they are more closely connected to the talibans. (correct me if i am wrong)
While there might be some lies, there is also a truth to what he says. If the Talibans didnt go in, then maybe some other group would have.
Edit: they most likely know more of the terror groups that exists in the areas than we do.
I dont think people belive We are terrorist 😆
He speaks very well…reminds me of Obama
I thought the Western media was good at brainwashing and then there’s this 🤣 Only gullible sheeps fall for their words.
No more future for Taliban, the world saw that what the Taliban did to women and children.😠
Tail of dog can’t be straightened
