Tahir Shah Siddiqi (Pashto; Dari: طاهرشاه صدیقی), commonly known by his nom de guerre Zabihullah Mujahid (Pashto; Dari: ذبیح الله مجاهد, Ẕabīḥullāh Mujāhid), is an Afghan spokesperson who has been the chief spokesman for the Taliban regime or the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan since 25 October 2021 and their Deputy Minister of Information and Culture since 7 September 2021. He has long served as one of several spokesmen for the Taliban, the others being Suhail Shaheen and Yousef Ahmadi. Mujahid commented mainly on the Taliban's activities in eastern, northern, and central Afghanistan, while Ahmadi focused on the western and southern regions. In addition to being the government's main spokesman, Mujahid serves as a personal spokesman for Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada. Mujahid appeared publicly in person on 17 August 2021. Prior to that, he regularly communicated with journalists and spoke on behalf of the Taliban via cellphone calls, text messages, emails, Twitter, and postings on Islamist websites. Mujahid was appointed in January 2007 following the arrest of Taliban spokesman Muhammad Hanif.
