Juma Namangani
The fighters began talks with the Tajik government and the Taliban in Afghanistan regarding their migration. Talks were held with the Tajik government to allow them to cross the border, while they asked the Taliban government for a place to live. They said that they wanted to live in an Islamic Sharia state.
Therefore, the Taliban government showed generosity and agreed to welcome the Tajik and Uzbek Muslim fighters. The Tajik government also agreed to move all the fighters across the border into Afghanistan. A formal agreement was reached between the fighters and both sides.
Juma Khan Namangani had already arrived in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan three days earlier as a migrant brother.

When the Uzbek and Tajik fighters arrived in Afghanistan, Mullah Dadullah, Mullah Fazlullah Akhund, and Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar warmly welcomed them. Following the instructions of the Amir-ul-Momineen, all the migrants were settled in different cities.

During this long meeting in Kandahar, after mutual consultation, Juma Khan Namangani was appointed as the Amir of the foreign fighters, while Abdul Hadi Arabi was appointed as his deputy.
As a result, the responsibility for the official matters and affairs of the migrant fighters was given to Amir Juma Khan Namangani.
