Karim Brahui (son of Mohammad Mobin) was a leader of mujahideen forces in Nimroz Province, Afghanistan, and later governor of that province after the 2001 fall of the Taliban.[1] When the Taliban seized Nimroz in 1995, Karim Brahui and his troops withdrew across the border to Iran, and Hamidullah Niyazmand was made governor of the province.[2] Following the 2001 defeat of the Taliban, Karim Brahui again became governor of the province.[3]

In 2004, Brahui was appointed Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs.[4]
