The Taliban have shared a rare audio message from their supreme leader, who says justice is an instrument for the Afghan government's survival. Hibatullah Akhundzada, an Islamic scholar, almost never appears in public and hardly ever leaves the Taliban heartland in southern Kandahar province. He surrounds himself with other religious scholars and allies who oppose education and work for women. Only one known photo of him, years old, exists.
