Abdul Kabir, the Taliban’s acting minister of refugees, hosted Taliban Siraj Haqqani, Taliban’s acting interior minister who was absent from Eid prayer gatherings, and other senior Taliban officials at the Sapidar Palace during Eid al-Adha celebrations. The meeting was centered on security coordination and governance matters, signaling Kabir’s influence within the Haqqani faction of the Taliban and highlighting their internal rifts .
Kabir welcomed Haqqani and several provincial police commanders into the lavish palace — a venue increasingly identified as his political base. Though nominally in charge of refugee affairs, Kabir used the gathering to discuss matters beyond his official remit, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
