The General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI; Pashto: د استخباراتو لوی ریاست; Dari: ریاست عمومی استخبارات) is the Afghan national intelligence, security and spy agency under the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

Activities

Since the Taliban takeover in August 2021, six hundred ISIS members, four kidnappers, dozens of mafia and other criminals have been arrested by the GDI.[3][4][5][6]

Despite Taliban pledges to be tolerant, the GDI announced on March 2, 2022 that Afghan media must show a "press-friendly" image of the Taliban while they pressure reporters on rules that should not contradict Islamic values.[7]

Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada has claimed that the GDI reports directly to him, according to a statement released by Spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid in 2022 that purportedly quoted Akhundzada.[8]
