The Leadership Council of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,[3] also translated as the Supreme Council,[4] (Pashto: رهبری شُورَىٰ, romanized: Rahbarī Shūrā)[5] (also referred to as the Inner Shura)[6][7] is the central governing body of the Taliban and—since the 2021 fall of Kabul and previously from 1996 to 2001—of Afghanistan. The Taliban uses a consensus decision-making model among members of the Leadership Council, though the supreme leader, who chairs the council, has ultimate authority and may override or circumvent it at any time. It played a key role in directing the Taliban insurgency from Quetta, Pakistan, which led to it being informally referred to as the Quetta Shura at the time.
