Original title: the Afghan Taliban held a flag raising ceremony, saying it "marks the official start of the new government"
On September 11, a few days after the announcement of the formation of the interim government, the Afghan Taliban raised its first flag in the presidential palace, which coincided with the 20th anniversary of the "September 11" incident.
According to the associated press on September 12, ahmadullah muttaqi, the spokesman of the Afghan Taliban and in charge of the multimedia department, announced that the Taliban had held a low-key flag raising ceremony at the presidential palace on September 11, and the acting prime minister of the interim government Mohamed Hassan ahonde personally raised the flag with white background and Koran scriptures.
Mutaki said that the flag raising ceremony marked the official beginning of the work of the new government.
The Afghan Taliban held a press conference on September 7, announced the formation of the interim government and announced the main members of the interim government. The Associated Press reported that at present, the international community is disappointed with the government members announced by the Afghan Taliban because the relevant arrangements do not reflect the due "inclusiveness". In an interview with politico, an anonymous U.S. government official said that the reality is that recognition of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan may take several years. President Biden privately said that such recognition "still has a long way to go".
In this regard, Suhail Shahin, a spokesman for the Afghan Taliban, said in an interview with the media on the 8th that the currently announced Afghan cabinet is an interim government established to fill the domestic power vacuum as soon as possible. At present, all appointed are acting ministers, not informal ministers. In addition, a number of ministerial positions are currently vacant and will be appointed "after due consideration". Negotiations between the Taliban and other political forces are still ongoing. If an agreement can be reached, some non interim government members may hold high-level positions in the next formal government.
In addition, according to the Russian satellite news agency reported on September 12, the interim Deputy Minister of culture and information of Afghanistan, zabiula mujahid, said on September 11 that the international community is making efforts to recognize the new Afghan government, and the Taliban has also received positive signals from some countries.
