Biography

Sayed Mohammad Tayeb Agha was born in 1976 AD, in the Jalahor area, Arghandab District, Kandahar Province, and in a religious family from the "Naser" tribe.

His father, "Mawlawi Sadozi", was one of the leading scholars of Kandahar with many followers and a large number of religious schools, someone who once taught the young Mullah Omar.

Tayeb Agha's maternal grandfather, "Mawlawi Abdul Qayyum", was also another influential religious official in Kandahar. The main reason for this family's fame was Tayeb Agha's older brother, namely "Lal Malang (Sayed Ishaq)".

Education

He completed his university education in Quetta and his religious education at the Haqqania Madrasa.

He is fluent in national languages, Urdu, Balochi, English, Arabic. His fluency in foreign languages and family background enabled him to quickly climb the ladder of progress in the nascent Taliban movement.

He has special skills in communication and diplomacy.

In 2010 AD, during German mediation, he played a role in preliminary negotiations with the America.

Tayeb Agha's Actions for the Taliban

During and after the fall of the Taliban, Tayeb Agha, like many other senior leaders of the group, was the source of many effective movements. He was one of the key members of the delegation that transferred power from Mullah Omar to "Hamid Karzai" in December 2001 AD. At that time, he and other leaders were looking for a deal where, in exchange for recognizing the Karzai government and avoiding armed conflicts, they would be pardoned. As a result of this perception, various events occurred that led the Taliban group to conclude that any attempt to deal with the new government and be pardoned would be futile, and thereafter they crossed the border and fled to Pakistan.

In subsequent years, Tayeb Agha engaged in economic activities for the Taliban. He traveled to Saudi Arabia and other countries around the Persian Gulf.

He participated in political affairs and trips for consultation on negotiations and clearly stated the Taliban's view on negotiations, specifying that their counterpart in negotiations was the Americans, and in an interview in 2009 he said: "We have no problem with the Karzai government because power is by no means in his hands, we were not part of the negotiating parties and it should be done between the two conflicting parties, namely the people of Afghanistan and the Mujahideen leadership, representing the Islamic Emirate and their leaders on one side, and the foreign forces that have occupied Afghanistan on the other side; any negotiation with other groups is a waste of time and an attempt to marginalize objective realities and prolong the crisis and misery of Afghans." After the revelation of the death of "Mullah Omar", the former leader of the Taliban, and the selection of "Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour" as the second leader of the Taliban, he resigned from the position of head of the Taliban office in Qatar in order to show his protest to the selection of Mullah Akhtar Mansour.
