Ali Ahmad Jalali (Pashto/Dari: علی احمد جلالی) is an Afghan politician, diplomat, and academic.[1][2][3] Jalali served as the Minister of Interior from January 2003 to September 2005. He has also been a distinguished professor at the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies (NESA) at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.[4] In August 2021, amid the collapse of the US-backed Afghan government, Jalali was rumored to become the leader of the Taliban-controlled interim Afghan government,[5] which he has denied on Twitter as "fake news."[6]
