Hibatullah Akhundzada

Hibatullah Akhundzada is a very important person in Afghanistan. He is like the main leader of the country, called the supreme leader. Imagine a school principal, but for a whole country!

He was born a long, long time ago, in 1967. He is known for making important rules and decisions for the Taliban, the group that leads Afghanistan right now. He doesn't like to be in pictures or on the internet very much, making him a bit of a mystery!

Hibatullah Akhundzada became the leader of the Taliban in 2016. Before that, he was an Islamic judge, which means he helped decide what was fair according to religious laws. He didn't fight in battles like some other leaders.

Instead, he was known for his smart thinking about rules. One of his sons was a fighter who sadly died in a special kind of attack. This shows that even though he didn't fight, his family was involved.

One super interesting thing about Hibatullah Akhundzada is that he is very private. He has hardly any photos of himself online, and you can only hear his voice on recordings. It's like a superhero who keeps their identity a secret!

He is famous for making 'fatwas,' which are like official opinions or rulings on important matters. These rulings guide the Taliban and affect many people in Afghanistan.

Hibatullah Akhundzada led the Taliban when they took control of Afghanistan again in 2021. This was a huge change for the country. He has made rules that have changed how people live, especially for girls and women. For example, he made a rule that stopped most teenage girls from going to high school. This has made many people around the world worried about fairness and rights.
