3. Biodata:
Mawlawi Badruddin Haqqani was born 1968 in Khost. He began his career as Jalaluddin Haqqani's aide and financial manager during Taliban first rule. He initially started his career with Jalaludin Haqqani and was his personal assistant and financial manager. He spent time in Abu Dhabi in the 1990s to manage the financial affairs of jalaluddin Haqqani’s family who have been based in Abu Dhabi since that time, especially his Arab wife who has been living in the UAE since decades His stint in Abu Dhabi in the '90s involved managing the Haqqani family's finances. During the republic era, Badruddin utilized his Arabic skills to fundraise for Haqqani’s in the Gulf region and ultimately becoming a key donation point. Known for his Naat and Tarana skills, he sang for the Haqqani's that sadly glorified suicide attacks. After the Taliban's return in 2021, he became the procurement director for Siraj's Ministry of Interior. In June 2022, he was appointed as a deputy at the embassy in Abu Dhabi. His appointment was interestingly delayed due to Taliban’s Foreign Minister counter-lobbying. Muttaqi's concerns were finally resolved by the UAE govenment and he was appointed as Taliban’s new envoy to the Abu Dhabi. He has consolidated his position and power since October and has become an influential interlocutor for Siraj in the gulf region. India is particularly trying to get closer to him and through him to the Haqqani Network.
