阿富汗塔利班组织宣布新领导人

The Afghan Taliban have announced a new leader to replace Mullah Akhtar Mansour who was killed in a US drone strike.

阿富汗激进组织塔利班已经宣布了新的领袖，以取代在美军无人机袭击中被杀的毛拉·阿赫塔尔·曼苏尔。

In a statement, the Taliban acknowledged Mansour's death for the first time and named his successor as Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada. Analysts say it is unlikely the group will change direction under hardline religious scholar Akhundzada.

在一份声明中，塔利班首次承认了曼苏尔的死亡，并将领袖继承者称为马拉维·希巴杜拉·艾昆萨塔。分析人士称，在强硬派宗教学者艾昆萨塔的领导下，该组织将不会改变方向。

Last year the Taliban were plunged into turmoil when Mansour replaced the group's founder Mullah Mohammad Omar. Under his stewardship, the Taliban refused to take part in peace talks. Instead, militant attacks escalated and became more daring.

去年，当曼苏尔接替组织创始人毛拉·穆罕默德·奥马尔时，该组织陷入了混乱当中。在他的领导下，塔利班拒绝进行和平谈话。取而代之的是将侵略性袭击扩大、变得更加骇人。

Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, a former head of the Taliban courts, was a deputy leader to Mansour. He comes from Kandahar in the Taliban heartlands of southern Afghanistan and seems to have been an acceptable choice for a significant number of Taliban shura (council) members. The new leader is not as controversial as his predecessor.

马拉维·希巴杜拉·艾昆萨塔是前塔利班领导人曼苏尔的副手。他来自位于阿富汗南部塔利班腹地的坎大哈，对于塔利班理事会相当一部分人来说，他都是可以接受的选择。新领导人不像前任那样充满争议。

The statement also said that Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, son of Mullah Omar, would become a joint deputy head of the movement, alongside current deputy leader Sirajuddin Haqqani.

该声明中还写道，奥马尔的儿子毛拉·默罕默德·雅各布将与目前的副领袖西拉祖丁·哈卡尼一起成为联合副首领。

Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is much more well known, is leader of the Haqqani network which has been blamed for some of the most violent attacks inside Afghanistan. The group is known for its daring raids on Western and Afghan targets, particularly in Kabul.

作为哈卡尼网络的领袖，西拉祖丁·哈卡尼更加出名，因在阿富汗境内领导了一些暴力袭击事件而被人们所指责。该组织因在西方和阿富汗地区，尤其是喀布尔的骇人袭击而闻名。

Mansour named Akhundzada as his successor in his will, Taliban sources told AFP, in what may be an attempt to legitimise the transition.

塔利班消息人士告诉法新社称，曼苏尔在他的遗愿中点名任命艾昆萨塔作为继任者，这可能是使得交接合法化的一种尝试。
