Reuters news agency is quoting various Taliban sources, saying one of the group's co-founders, Mullah Baradar, will lead the new government.
Baradari, who heads the Taliban's political office, will be in charge of Müllah Mohammad Yaqoobi, son of the former Taliban cofounder, Mullah Homar, and Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai.
It was first announced that the new government would be announced after the Friday prayer today, but it is now said that this could happen during tomorrow.
Baradari is one of four men who founded the Taliban in Afghanistan in 1994. In 2020, Baradari became the first Taliban leader to speak to an American president on the phone, for he did so with Donald Trump.
The group seems to have been caught off guard by their own victory, which explains the slowdown in forming government. /Periscope
