Afghanistan “has faced a serious crisis and the Islamic emirate has decided to form this administration. Some ministries still have to be assigned “and” we try to appoint highly professional figures also in the role of deputy and undersecretaries. ” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said at a press conference announcing the new government in Kabul.
Meanwhile, a huge Taliban flag has been painted on the outside of the boundary wall next to the entrance to the former US embassy in Kabul. It is, as shown by several photos published online, the white banner with black writing indicating the testimony of faith of Muslims, which had already been used by the Taliban when they took power in the 1990s, proclaiming for the first time the birth of the ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The US embassy was abandoned by US diplomats and personnel on August 15, as Kabul was captured by the Taliban during their chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Since then, the operations of the US embassy have been moved to Doha.
