The Taliban has announced an interim government in Afghanistan along with a list of ministers. Along with this, the Taliban’s spokesperson has also announced that Afghanistan is now officially an Islamic Emirate. Before this, opponents of the group came out on the streets of Kabul to hold demonstrations. Women participated in protests in Herat and other provinces.

Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s spokesperson said in a press conference that Mullah Mohammad Hasan Ankhud, one of the founding members of the Taliban, will be the head of government, i.e., the Prime Minister. The deputy Prime Minister post will be jointly held by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Mullah Abdul Salam Hanafi, although it is widely believed that Baradar himself will be the effective leader of the new dispensation.
