"We want to do away with the factors for conflict. Therefore, the Islamic Emirate does not have any kind of any kind of hostility or animosity towards anybody," he was quoted as saying by Geo News, with an interpreter translating his speech in English.

He added that all animosity "has come to an end".

"We would like to live peacefully. We do not want any internal enemies or external enemies," he said.

"War has ended [...] (the leader) has pardoned everyone," he said.

"I would like to assure [them] that after consultations that will be completed very soon, we will be witnessing the formation of a strong, Islamic, and inclusive government, InshaAllah," he said.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani left the country to prevent what he described as bloodshed that would occur if militants had to fight for the city.

Most countries have reduced or evacuated their diplomatic missions in the Central Asian country following the events.
