IEA appoints 43 governors, police chiefs around Afghanistan
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) appointed 43 of its members to key roles including provincial governors and police chiefs on Sunday.
It is the first large-scale round of appointments announced since the cabinet was formed in September.
The IEA released the list of its members’ new roles, including Qari Baryal to serve as governor of Kabul and Wali Jan Hamza as the city’s police chief.
The previous commander in charge of Kabul’s security, Mawlawi Hamdullah Mukhlis, was killed this month in an attack on Afghanistan’s largest military hospital in the city center.
