The Taliban is likely to announce a framework for setting up of the new government in Afghanistan in a few weeks, the country’s television channel Tolo News reported on the basis of a conversation between an official of the Islamist militia and news agency Reuters.
Those familiar with the evolving situation said the Taliban leadership and a group of Afghan political leaders continued to hold negotiations on the formation of a government. However, there is no clarity yet on whether the key points have been discussed.
It was learnt that the legal, religious and foreign policy experts in the Taliban were deliberating on the framework that would form the basis of their government. One of the founding members of the Taliban and the militia’s second-in-command, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar reached Kabul on Saturday to join the discussions with Afghan political leaders. This comes a day after former Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah, the head of the High Council of National Reconciliation, met Kabul’s acting governor Abdul Rahman Mansour, in which they discussed the security of Kabul and its people.
