They chose Mullah Fazlullah to replace Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a drone strike, on November 1.
The selection of Fazlullah has many Pakistanis concerned, and the international community wary.
Fazlullah is one of the most violent leaders, within the Taliban.
Everywhere he goes, he has enforced an extremely strict version of Shariah law.
His selections could also be a sign that any hopes for peace talks are nowhere near being an option anymore.
Another worry is that he is supported by the Afghanistan Taliban, and may feel forced to heed their bidding.
