Muhammad Suhail Shaheen (Pashto/Dari: محمد سهیل شاهین, Pashto pronunciation:[mʊˈhamadsʊˈhelʃaˈhin], Dari pronunciation:[mʊˈhammadsʊˈheːlʃaˈhiːn]) is a Taliban member who is currently the head of the Political Office in Doha.[1] He edited the English-language, state-owned Afghan newspaper The Kabul Times during the first Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (1996–2001), before being appointed to Afghanistan's Embassy in Pakistan as a deputy ambassador.[2]
The Taliban-led government appointed him as the Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations in September 2021, but the UN rejected his appointment to the post.
