The leadership discovered Tuesday is entirely from the Taliban ranks, despite promises of a sweeping cabinet, and many of its high figures are on UN sanctions lists, which will likely complicate the group's search for international recognition, reports The Guardian.
Afghanistan will once again be recognised as Islamic Emira, as it was under Taliban rule in the 1990s. The head of state, Hibatullah Akhundzada, will be the supreme leader.
The Taliban have also returned the ministry for promoting virtue and preventing vices, a notorious implementation body that was one of the most hated institutions when they recently searched Afghanistan. Its main function was to control the extreme interpretation of the Taliban of Islamic law.
The prime minister will be Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, one of the founding members of the group who was close to his main leader, Mulla Mohammed Omar.
Mulla Omar's son, Mulla Jakupi, will be defence minister. The incumbent's Interior Minister is Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is on the FBI's required list with a reward of over 4m euros for anyone who gets it.
