## Bio

Born 19 October 1967, Akhundzada rose not through combat but through Islamic jurisprudence, serving as a Sharia judge during the Taliban's 1996–2001 government. When the Taliban insurgency began, he was chosen to lead its shadow court system, issuing fatwas that shaped the movement's religious backbone. In May 2016 he was elected supreme leader, a position reinforced when al-Qaeda's Ayman al-Zawahiri backed him as Amir al-Mu'minin. In 2019 he appointed Abdul Ghani Baradar to lead peace talks with the U.S., culminating in the 2020 Doha Agreement that set the terms for American withdrawal. While that withdrawal was still underway, Akhundzada directed a 2021 military offensive that toppled the Afghan government and made him Afghanistan's absolute ruler. Under his orders, the Taliban administration has barred most teenage girls from secondary school and imposed sweeping restrictions on women's work and education—actions that led the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for him in July 2025.
