Taliban says formation of new Afghan gov’t in its final stages

Senior Taliban leader Anas Haqqani tells Al Jazeera that Afghanistan’s new gov’t will be announced in the coming days.

The formation of Afghanistan’s new government is in its final stages, the Taliban has said, as the US withdrew the last of its forces from the country. “The government will take shape in the following few days,” Anas Haqqani, a senior Taliban leader, told Al Jazeera. He added that it was still too early to say who will be part of the new cabinet.
