Haqqani School Deputy: I am proud that our students are the rulers of Afghanistan

The deputy head of the Haqqani School in Pakistan says he is proud that students in Afghanistan have won power.

Rashid al-Haq Sami, deputy director of the Haqqani School in Pakistan, said he was proud that the current rulers of Afghanistan were students at the school.

Emphasizing that his students in Afghanistan are now ministers, judges, and military commanders, he said he was proud of that.

Rashid al-Haq Sami said the world has seen their ability to run the country through victories on the diplomatic front and on the battlefield.

Haqqani School is located in a small town east of Peshawar, Pakistan, and has more than 4,000 students, mostly from poor families, taking courses in Quran memorization and Arabic literature.

The school’s administrators said that Amir Khan Mottaqi, the acting foreign minister, and Abdul Baqi Haqqani, the minister of higher education, and a number of other governors and Taliban military commanders were graduates of the Haqqani school.

However, the Haqqani Network, the military wing of the Taliban, is named after the same school.
