Islamic Emirate Announces Comprehensive Administrative and Security Reshuffle

The leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has issued a decree implementing a wide-ranging reshuffle of provincial governors, ministry officials, and security commanders across the country. The administrative changes were officially announced by spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid, who stated the appointments were made under the directive of the Amir al-Mu'minin to strengthen institutional coordination and improve administrative efficiency.

Among the most notable changes, Mullah Abdul Ahad Fazli, who previously served as the governor of Faryab province, has been appointed as the Minister of Communications and Information Technology. He replaces Hamdullah Nomani in the role. The decree also names several new provincial governors, including Mohammad Hanif Hamza for Faryab, Abdul Rahman Haqqani for Khost, Abdullah Mukhtar for Baghlan, and Mohammad Wali Jan for Badghis.

In addition to the gubernatorial and ministerial appointments, the leadership reassigned multiple police chiefs, deputy governors, and prison oversight officials. These security and administrative personnel changes span several provinces, including Maidan Wardak, Nimroz, Logar, Paktia, Helmand, Farah, and Paktika. Deputy ministers and other mid-level officials across various central ministries were also rotated into new positions.

The reshuffle reflects the administration’s ongoing practice of rotating internal personnel to maintain operational oversight. Officials indicated that the adjustments are intended to streamline governance structures and enhance service delivery across provincial and central departments.
