Acting interior minister Abdul Sattar Mirzakawal in a video message confirmed talks on the formation of a transitional government.
Kabul: Taliban fighters made dramatic gains on Sunday, entering the outskirts of the capital, Kabul, as the US deployed troops to evacuate thousands of people, including embassy staff, government officials said.
The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity as they weren’t authorized to release the information, added that “there hasn’t been any fighting yet.”
However, in a statement on Sunday, Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said: “The Mujahidden of the Islamic Emirate has no intention of entering Kabul by force or war, but is holding talks with the other side for a peaceful entrance to Kabul.”
He did not explain who the “other side was” but assured Afghans that “life, honor and property of people will be protected”, before ordering the Taliban to “remain at the gates of Kabul and avoid revenge.”
