The Taliban on Sunday said that the new Afghanistan government is expected to be announced soon and it will be “an inclusive government.” However, the Taliban has been delaying the announcement of the government formation in Afghanistan over the past few days. While the group has not issued a statement over it yet, reports have emerged claiming that the government formation has been delayed due to differences between the Taliban and the Haqqani network over power-sharing.
