Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada marked the fourth anniversary of their return to power by warning Afghans of "divine punishment" if they are ungrateful for the group's rule. Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada warned Friday that God would severely punish Afghans who are ungrateful for Islamic rule, marking the fourth anniversary of the group's return to power with threats against those who oppose their governance.

Akhundzada, who is seldom seen in public, said in a statement that Afghans had endured hardships and made sacrifices for almost 50 years so that their interpretation of the Islamic law, known as Sharia, could be established.

The law had saved people from “corruption, oppression, usurpation, drugs, theft, robbery, and plunder,” he stated.

“These are great divine blessings that our people should not forget and, during the commemoration of Victory Day, express great gratitude to almighty God so that the blessings will increase,” Akhundzada said.

“If, against God’s will, we fail to express gratitude for blessings and are ungrateful for them, we will be subjected to (God's) severe punishment,” he added in a statement shared on the social platform X by the Taliban’s chief spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid.

Well they had twenty years to do something about it while we were spending our blood and treasure over there.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.
