Two months after coming back to Kabul from Kandahar, Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, the prime minister of the Islamic Emirate, has not been reported to have visited with officials of foreign countries or participated in significant meetings.

The Islamic Emirate's Prime Minister left Kandahar on July 17, 2023, and returned to Kabul after two months of rest and medical treatment.

The Islamic Emirate's spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, told TOLOnews that he is still sick and is resting.

"His deputies continue their activities, and, in the gatherings that you mentioned, his deputies have been seen giving speeches. Once again, I say that he might have needed to rest because of his health condition and that is why he has not participated in the meetings,” Mujahid said.

The Islamic Emirate's PM was not present at the events marking the two-year anniversary of the Islamic Emirate on August 15, 2023, and on August 19, 2023, the nation's 140th anniversary of independence. However, the Islamic Emirate's high-ranking officials were there.

According to some political analysts, the presence of the PM in meetings and meetings with representatives of countries is important.

"Throughout the world, when a meeting is held, its elders hold a press conference after the meeting and make the details of the meeting public, and this causes the gap between the government and the people to decrease and brings transparency," said Wahid Faqiri, a political analyst.

Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the political deputy of the PM, had previously been appointed the acting Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate by an order of the Islamic Emirate's leader due to the illness of Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund.
