Taliban ready to unveil new government soon after claiming Panjshir Nearly 20 years after being toppled by American forces, the Taliban on Tuesday said they were poised to unveil the new government of Afghanistan. On Monday, the militant group declared they were in control of Panjshir province, the last holdout of anti-Taliban forces in the country after their sweep of Afghanistan last month. Their claims were refuted by the resistance forces that said they were still fighting the militants in the area. Ahmad Massoud, the son of an iconic anti-Taliban fighter, posted a defiant audio message to social media, calling for a national “uprising" against the Taliban. NBC News was not able to confirm any of the claims. Meanwhile in the Afghan capital of Kabul, Taliban gunmen fired in the air to scatter protesters, witnesses told Reuters, as video showed scores of people scurrying to escape volleys of gunfire. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Hundreds of men and women shouting slogans such as "Long live the resistance" demonstrated against the Taliban, the news agency reported. Video posted on social media also appeared to show men and women taking to the streets of Kabul. Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said Tuesday they were in the final stages of forming a new government and were ready to announce it at any time. The timing of the move was striking, coming almost 20 years to the day after 9/11, which precipitated the American invasion after the Taliban government refused to hand over the attacks' architect, Al Qaeda's Osama bin Laden. In recent days, there has been a lot of speculation about the composition of the government. While the group has not formally unveiled a cabinet or its new leaders, several high-profile Taliban figures are expected to remain prominent. Download the NBC News app for breaking news and politics One of them is Hibatullah Akhundzada, chosen as the leader of the Taliban in 2016. A hard-liner, he used his religious credentials to justify the Taliban’s insurgent campaign against America and the U.S.-backed Afghan forces as a “holy war.” Another pivotal figure is expected to be Abdul Ghani Baradar, one of the Taliban’s founding members and its political leader. Baradar was arrested more than a decade ago in a joint U.S.-Pakistani operation before being released in 2018. He served as chief negotiator for the group during peace talks with the U.S. in Qatar and recently held a secret meeting with CIA chief William Burns. Other prominent figures include Mohammad Yaqoob, son of Mullah Omar, the one-eyed cleric who founded the Taliban and died in 2013, and Sirajuddin Haqqani, leader of the powerful Haqqani network, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization and whose forces took control of Kabul after Washington-backed President Ashraf Ghani fled. The Taliban may be forming a government, but the U.S. for one is not in a hurry to establish official ties. Asked whether the U.S. would recognize the Taliban, President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House late Monday, "That’s a long way off." - U.S. has leveraged tools to hold Taliban accountable for safe passage of those fleeing Afghanistan: Pentagon Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby discusses the ending of the U.S. war in Afghanistan, holding the Taliban to their word of safe passage for those seeking to leave the country and the tools the U.S. has to hold the Taliban accountable. NBC News - U.S. wraps military operation, diplomats depart Afghanistan after 20 year war After the U.S. concludes its military operation in Afghanistan after 20 years, Andrea Mitchell is joined by Jeremy Bash, Michael Leiter, and Peter Baker to discuss what happens next for the intelligence community, counterterrorism, diplomacy, and evacuating the remaining Americans and Afghan allies looking to flee the country under Taliban rule. NBC News - Afghan Americans protest for more refugee visas amid humanitarian crisis As a humanitarian crisis unfolds in Afghanistan, Afghan Americans took to the streets of New York City to demand more refugee visas for their motherland. NBC News NOW spoke to demonstrators to hear their perspective on what's gone wrong and what needs to happen now. NBC News Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said Tuesday there were still around 100 U.S. citizens left in Afghanistan who wanted to leave after the last U.S. plane departed last week ending America's 20-year presence in the country. Blinked added that the State Department was working with the Taliban to facilitate charter flights to get people out. U.S. rivals Russia, China and Iran, among others, have established relations with the Taliban leaders, and are expected to forge ties with the new government of Afghanistan. Before completing its withdrawal, the U.S. said it had evacuated about 124,000 U.S. citizens and at-risk Afghans, but thousands were left behind. Speaking at a news conference in Qatar — where many of the evacuees went — Blinken said that the Taliban had reasserted that U.S. and Afghan citizens with valid papers would be allowed to freely leave. "They have said they will let people with travel documents depart." he said. "We will hold them to that."

अफगानिस्तान तालिबानको कब्जामा, अब उसैको सत्ता अफगानिस्तानमा तालिबानले विजय हाँसिल गरेको छ । तालिबान लडाकुले राजधानी काबुल कब्जा गरेसँगै अफगानिस्तान तालिबानको नियन्त्रणमा गएको हो । अफगानिस्तानका राष्ट्रपति राष्ट्रपति अशरफ ग़नी देश छोडेर भागेका छन् । उनले छिमेकी देश उज्वेकिस्तानमा शरण लिएको खबरहरुमा उल्लेख छ । राष्ट्रपति भागेसँगै तालिबान लडाकुहरु राष्ट्रपति कार्यालयमा प्रवेश गरेर आफ्नो विजय घोषणा गरेका हुन् । तालिबानका प्रवक्ताले ‘शान्ति पूर्ण रुपमा शक्तिको हस्तान्तरण’ हुनु पर्ने बताएका छन् । उनले काबुलका नागरिक सुरक्षित रहेको दाबी पनि गरेका छन् । तर काबुल विमानस्थलमा भिडभाड अत्यधिक मात्रामा देखिएको छ । विदेशी, अफगान अधिकारी र अरु नागरिकहरु देश छोड्ने चाहनामा त्यहाँ पुगेका देखिएका छन् । सबै व्यवसायिक उडानहरु रद्द गरिएका छन् । अमेरिका, क्यानडा, बेलायत, जर्मनीसहितले आफ्ना नागरिकको उद्धारका लागि सैनिक विमानको प्रयोग गरेका छन् । तर आफूहरुको सैन्य अभियानको क्रममा सहयोग गरेका अफगानहरुको उद्धारलाई भने उनीहरुले आँखा चिम्लिएका छन् । तालिबानको कब्जामा देश गएसँगै महिलाहरुको अवस्थालाई लिएर चासो र चिन्ता व्यक्त भएको छ । केही क्षेत्रमा तालिबानले महिलाहरुलाई बुर्खा लगाउन बाध्य पारेको खबर आइरहेका छन् । अति तीव्र गतिमा तालिबानले अफगानिस्तानमा आफ्नो नियन्त्रण कायम गर्न सफल भएको हो । मात्रै १० दिनको अन्तरालमा उनीहरुले देशका सबै प्रमुख शहरमा कब्जा जमाएका हुन् । अमेरिकाले सहयोग तथा तालिम प्रदान गरेको अफगान आर्मी तालिबान लडाकु समक्ष निरिह देखिएको हो । अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति जो बाइडेनले केही हप्ता पहिले मात्रै तालिबानले अफगानिस्तानमा पूर्ण नियन्त्रण चाँडै कायम गर्न नसक्ने बताएका थिए । यस्तै अमेरिकी गुप्तचर निकायले पनि काबुलमा नियन्त्रण कायम गर्ने प्रयासका लागि नै कम्तीमा तीन महिना लाग्ने बताएको थियो । तर तालिबानले निकै छिटो आफ्नो प्रभाव कायम गरेका हुन् । सन् २००१ देखि सन्यै अभियान जारी गरेको अमेरिकाले २० वर्षमा अफगान आर्मीमा गरेको लगानीका आधारमा गरेको क्षमताको विश्लेषण गलत भएको विदेश मन्त्री एन्थोनी ब्लिंकेनले बताएका छन् । अमेरिकाको नेतृत्वमा अफगानिस्तानमा जारी रहेको नेटो सैन्य अभियान अन्त्य गर्ने घोषणासँगै तालिबानले नियन्त्रण कायम गर्ने क्रम सुरु गरेको थियो । सन् २००१ मा सत्ताबाट हटाइएको तालिबान फेरि शक्तिमा आउने भएको छ । उसले आफूले पूर्ण अधिकारसहितको सत्ता पाउनु पर्ने बताएको छ । तालिबान शक्तिमा आउने भएसँगै पछिल्लो २० वर्षमा महिला तथा मानवअधिकारको पक्षमा भएको प्रगति गुम्ने जोखिम रहेको भन्दै चिन्ता व्यक्त गरिएको छ ।
