International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that the Taliban have announced an interim government for Afghanistan filled with hardline figures from the group’s rule in the 1990s. For Afghanistan’s religious minorities and the international community, the announcement of the interim government confirms fears that the Taliban will not respect the rights of minorities or women. Abihullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s spokesman, announced the formation of an interim governing cabinet. While Mujahid emphasized that the appointments would be temporary, he did not clarify how long the interim cabinet would serve.
