The caretaker government will include leaders from all ethnicities and tribal backgrounds in the country, Taliban told Al Jazeera.

At least a dozen names are being considered to be part of the new government, the report said.

Afghanistan’s ethnic diversity has been at the center of politics with no ethnic group enjoying the majority.

The Pashtuns are Afghanistan’s biggest ethnic group with 42 percent of the population and are predominantly Sunni Muslim.

They said a supreme leadership council has been convened to decide the form of the future government and nominate ministers, stated the Al Jazeera report.

Ministers to the judiciary, internal security, defence, foreign affairs, finance, information portfolios as well as a special assignment for Kabul’s affairs are to be nominated.

Taliban co-founder Mullah Baradar is Kabul, while Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, son of Taliban founder Mullah Omar, has travelled from Kandahar for the initial consultations on government formation, Al Jazeera reported citing sources.

Taliban wants to include the sons of Tajik and Uzbek tribal leaders in what it describes as an effort to include new faces.

They said the United States has been insisting on bringing in some members of the older governments, including former President Hamid Karzai and former Head of Afghanistan’s High Council for National Reconciliation Abdullah Abdullah, the report informed.

Another Taliban source told Al Jazeera that the group remains committed to the 2020 Doha accord it signed with the US, including not allowing Afghan soil to be used to launch terror attacks.
