NEFA Foundation: Taliban Dismisses Mansour Dadullah as Top Military Commander
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has obtained and translated a new communiqué from the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban) announcing the sudden dismissal of Mansour Dadullah as their top military commander. According to the statement, "Mansour Dadullah has refused to obey our orders
and has carried out acts that are not compatible with the aims of the Islamic Emirate. Due to this, we have decided the following: to remove Mansour Dadullah from his post as military commander and immediately revoke his authority to perform all major tasks, and to remove him from any position of responsibility within the Islamic Emirate. Nor should anyone recognize him as a leader or official from the Islamic Emirate."
An English translation of the communique can be downloaded from the NEFA Foundation website.
