I am proud of my Muslim brothers. They will make a beacon of justice & natural human Interaction.
i hope in future we see ‘Al jazeera Afghanistan’
Everybody likes is English…educated and trained on a English speaking countrye…what Afeganistão has?
More Taliban propaganda from Al Jazeera. Sooo unspeakably depressing seeing a kiwi journalist front this garbage. Hanging my head in shame 😞
We pray to God Almighty to make your feet firm, brothers, and grant you victory over any enemy, and we are very happy and proud for you
Afghan future is going to be better than now after watching this one. –
Lying terriost! Taliban are animals.
They have men who are more expressive and can speak better English than trump and biden….😂
This is the sort of Taliban you have now … educated and mentally colonised in ENgland
I think I would be more inclined to believe him if he and his thugs had a democratic vote about their political ambitions, instead of taking cities and towns with armed militants.
We have to learn English
What a great victory by talibans 👍🏻
He is a GREAT face for the Taliban, and he lies with beautiful English and a smile. I don’t know why so many people are surprised that all the Taliban aren’t totally illiterate. They like to recruit illiterate people, they are easier to mold to their ways. Afghanistan will have to figure it out now. The dye is cast, and it won’t be long for the Taliban to again show the world who they are and when they do, believe them.
They have some hills to climb themselves. They need money, for one thing and many assets were kept over seas and are now frozen. ISIS is there and they are not friends. Three are other groups in the country and some may support them, some can be their enemies.
TO BAD HE BULLSHITING….
May be people are trying to escape because they don’t want to practice Shariya law…
Sharia law … they beat women with canes in the streets for punishment , & humiliate them , if they step out of line
Rights of men????!?!? Do you hear yourself?!? I think that you should be honest! The topic in this time is WOMENS RIGHTS!!!!
And yes, the whole world 🌍 strongly believe that the TALIBANS are terrorist- because of your actions!
The peace should NEVER be introduced by WAR and FEAR!!!
He sounds very well educated and speaks really good. He should be the face of the movement, if not the leader.
ماشاء الله طلبان❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
USA are finished now. Beginning of the end.
Maybe Boris can take lesson from that spokesman on how it’s done. 😂😂
This is a trick of taking a thorn using another thorn? Mujahideen was the name when fought with Russians. Taliban is the name to deal with China. In the process Pakistan etc. in the middle. India needs to beef up their borders.
I am impressed by his vocabulary. Talibaans have definitely learned how to represent themselves.
Educated in England I see.
They really are using all the buzzwords. The word “inclusive” gets thrown around a lot. .
anything forced is satanic. we are born to be free, freedom should be fundamental and these idiots seem to be worse than the communists.
It is disgusting that these people are being given the space to spew all these lies. It’s like listening to Satan promising that going forward he will no longer want to deceive the world
you better know that bud !! ..stay up ..evil exist
If i would see people with guns all over the place , i would be hysterical too, can he blame the people to be scared of them ?
Another Taliban spokesperson who knowing the history of the Taliban can’t understand why people would want to leave. Let everyone leave who wants to leave, by plane, by car, by foot, and in the years to come when the Taliban has proven that all that they say is true then maybe the people will come back. But people should not be forced to stay so the Taliban has subjects to rule.
We he said nobody knows what they are doing, his English is irrelevant if he terrorises the population, and he very wrong, people do think of them as terrorists, they have destroyed the infrastructure in the whole country over the years, they have like and murdered their own folk. Intentional interference didn’t help much either.
I, feel relieved, after listening to this nice young man,and Biden is our president 🤡
Fears are unfounded???
Very good speech MashaAllah
The government leading by example and being punished first? Can you guys come to my country as well? I’ll vote for you over the career politicians in a heartbeat.
This guy speak better than speaker or let say spokeman of TALIBAN realtalk
This terrorist ..or any anyone who hates America religiously, should not be allowed entry into our country ..for what , to influence some of our people to join their cult of death ? ..We need stronger borders & better ‘vetting asap! “” …People need to wake up or the worst enemies in the world will be at your doorstep ..you see what his bunch are doing over there to women , children & families !
He must be the moderate Taliban because he sounds more civil but the other faction of the Taliban is ruthless and not making the situation better so good luck China and other countries that want to do business the country is not stable by the way their citizens are treated and yes Sharia law is fine but does not sound like it with the killings.
civil ? …go do standup
@Red Skywalker truth is they aren’t and wont go anywhere for a very very long time
He is one smooth talker😊
Good negotiation guy
They not giving you choices people will never trust them
Not interested in the Taliban or anything related to them.
Joe biden impeachment pending, As more and more Americans die because of Biden’s policy failures, Democrats should worry about their future, BIDEN BEHAVIOR BUNGLES, FOX news is right. the family especially his wife, had to know his mind was slipping, shows how power hungry they are, to allow a unfit mentally person run for President. It’s not called the Biden crime family for nothing, Where are the doctors report’s to sign off ?, that this person is mentally fit to serve? The left will pay a big price for election tampering and allowing this person to continue in office. The Country is already paying a big price, look at our southern invasion of drug lords and virus infected illegals. now look at our allies and what they are saying, kooks what’s happening with stranded American citizens. Biden’s poor judgement, Biden miss judgements continue, We don’t see Joe Biden, jumping on a plane to see our troops, negotiate better withdrawal terms with the people he thinks are so honorable and highly of, in his mind. Biden caused this mess and now acts like it’s no big deal, just like the mess he caused at the border. Goes on TV and says his job only is to make judgements that no one else can make, Is this clown for real ?, what an idiot, who is he really working for??? not the American citizen.
Well of course the security forces left. If they didn’t civil war would have already broken out. It makes you wonder, perhaps these so called security forces were made up of Taliban sympathizers as well. Find out inside information, find out where the weapons are, learn English, seize them and take over the country. Islam is not ambiguous about rights of women and men, but people’s interpretation is ambiguous.
Usa Will crush u again
WHAT A BUNCH OF HORSE MANURE.
Is that why they are beating people and caning people? General Amnesty my foot! Inclusive my foot! These people are lying! Everything they’ve said “we don’t want to do”, they’ve done! Same as before, DON’T TRUST THE TALIBAN! There’s one thing he said that’s true and believed by the Taliban, there is no abiguity in Sharia Law!
Mr. Balkhi should represent Afghanistan. He is more trust worthy than the politicians of Washington DC.
Well said
He sounds legit and so does The Taliban
American lost
Are they anti vax, that’s what is most important at the moment
Nicely said .
AMERICA is afraid of the Taliban and their god .ha
Well, give peace a chance….
I believe that you are not terrorist. You guys are trying to development your country and lead people to a better life. May God give you wisdom and love~~
The reasoning behind why the Taliban chose this man to speak is clear! It is not that his English is good, obviously educated in the UK, but that he has been systematically chosen to represent the Taliban.
The naivety in the comments is baffling. There was a couple of smirks in this interview that caught my attention particularly on the words “fear and hysteria” and also “forcing laws on everyone” which might indicate he’s lying. How can you take his last point seriously? How can you lead by example if your behaviour breaches human rights? Who’s going to follow you?
Who cares how proper he speaks when he’s lying
I think it’s great the Talaban are talking directly to the world. Now we may get to he truth of who is the real terrorist and money making people in this world.
He is F.O.S.
So much focus on their talks w Americans. We want to know whats their talks and focus with their women????
I dont agree taliban branded as terrorist.
Subtitles were not at all necessary. Impressive!

A terrorist with fluent English is still a terrorist. There is a reason why people don’t trust them and try to flee the country.
I think this is a trap by USA. They want spread Taliban onto the country, and then backbite them as they did many times., Since they could not defeat them as the were grouped into specific places.
US playing games with Taliban. Is like playing with your dad’s balls🏀 🇦🇫🇦🇫✌🏾
repent accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and you will be saved, go to heaven John 3:16
Jesus is the only way to heaven John 14:6
Idk why in gods sake we are meeting/ talking with pure evil.
You seem to be rational n intelligent…i hope you walk your talk…..sir….you seem to be a respectful leader…
Northern Iraq will rise and wipe the terrorists out
I keep hearing on the news how terrifying Taliban control is and what not but I’ve also heard an awful lot how they have peace talks going on? Idk which side to take but I really really hope the Taliban is actually as tired as the west has been for the last 20 years and being the ruling force in the country I hope they prioritize the people and peace can occur in Afghanistan. Not constant brutality and violence.
His last words were surely definition of US hypocrisy when it comes to calling someone terrorist.
impressive accent and well-spoken. He should represent Taliban in all platform.
Only a super high dicipline people can acive success of beating all the superpowers
Good and good Taliban ledris
All lies, the Taliban are savages.
How can these blind terrorists have any vision?
Every loss for the US military industrial complex is a win for humanity! Al qaida is long gone and it makes perfect sense to give back the country to the Afghan people.
US being exposed
If you are so humane why not let people go?
The reports are coming out..the Taliban is still who they are.
Taliban (Terrorists) can never be trusted, they’re already manhunting innocent people. It is laughable when they say inclusive government. It is all Pushtoons that wants to governs the country and these clawns do not have the capacity to govern a country and bring peace. The only solution to bring peace in Afghanistan is to divided it into two different countries, Pushtoo speaking one country and the rest of population one country.
The next president? Good English 🤝
Don’t judge anyone by their looks…wowww English
What ever language they speak, ultimately they will implement Sharia and become barbaric
His intentions seems pure and good like his English. 😃
😚 ❤️
Hey Mashallah yeet
What he says and what will actually happen is another thing, people are fleeing as they know what to expect, to force people to adhere to shariah Law says it all, why not let people live as they want to, i agree with the Taliban about NO ALCOHOL NO SWEARING NO SMOKING but all this is contradicted by LETS SELL DRUGS TO MAKE MONEY, country is a great place people just want to earn a living and raise a family my hope for all this for them has faded
May Allah have mercy on uh
How about you dont enforce laws on anyone you religious psychopath .
This leader world was good 👍, what he thinking 🤔 don’t know
Al Jazeera does like terrorists.. Their words are quite like they r talking to somw govt
ozzie
Wow, he is very good in speaking English..
Dudes studies in USA then bangs the USA
With all these lies he’s gonna be a great politician. Rip 🇦🇫
I hope what he is saying is true, but i can’t bring myself to belive him until i see actuall change.
we need more of this guy in a callcenter!
