A major row broke out between leaders of the Taliban over the make-up of the group's new government in Afghanistan.  The argument between the group's co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and a cabinet member happened at the presidential palace.

Mr Baradar and Khalil ur-Rahman Haqqani -- the minister for refugees and a prominent figure within the militant Haqqani network -- had exchanged strong words, as their followers brawled with each other nearby.

A senior Taliban member based in Qatar and a person connected to those involved also confirmed that an argument had taken place late last week.

The sources said the argument had broken out because Mr. Baradar, the new deputy prime minister, was unhappy about the structure of their interim government.

It has been said that the row stemmed from divisions over who in the Taliban should take credit for their victory in Afghanistan...

I expect a strife between Iran/Qatar’s Taliban vs Pakistan’s Taliban. Two sources of incomes.

Taking down a government and actually running a country are two very different skill sets.
