Kabul, 24 August 2021

Close sources confirmed Taliban leadership nominated couple of cabinet members and heads of national institutions. As per the source, following are nominated for their awaited government in Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan :

Najeeb Ullah - Intelligence Chief

Sadar Ibrahim - Acting Interior Minister

Gul Agha - Acting Finance Minister

Sakha Ullah, Head of Education Department

Abdul Baqi - Head of Higher Education Department

Hamd Ullah Nomani - Mayor of Kabul

Mullah Shireen - Governor of Kabul

Taliban have retaken the control of Afghanistan after  twenty years long struggle fighting against the foreign invading forces led by the US since October 2001.

Kabul Airport is still in control of US forces helping in evacuation of foreign troops. Deadline of foreign troops leaving Afghanistan was announced by US President Joe Biden by 31st August 2021. However, US led forces started evacuation after Doha peace agreement between US and the Taliban in February 2020 signed at the Hotel Sheraton Grand Doha.

The agreement was signed by Zalmay Khalilzad, US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar on behalf of the Taliban.

It took to surprise almost whole the world and the top leadership of Taliban itself of taking over Capital City Kabul so swiftly by Taliban forces on 15th of August 2021. Taliban seems to have neutralized 300,000 Afghan forces trained by the US special forces to fight against the Taliban. The US and NATO have expressed disappointment over thhe collspse ofAfghan forces within no dsys.
