Furthermore, Afghan media has reported about clashes erupting between Taliban and opposition fighters at the gates of Panjshir province northeast of Kabul, with the Afghan opposition tweeting assertions that Al-Qaeda has joined the Taliban forces. 

Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen disclosed that Beijing informed the movement of its intentions to keep its embassy in Kabul.

Shahin Stressed that "the Sino-Afghan relations will strengthen in the coming period, with the possibility of Kabul playing a central role in the security and development in the region."

The Taliban spokesman proclaimed today that the government's announcement has been postponed for "technical reasons", noting that "it will be announced in the near future.

A senior Afghan source told "Reuters" on Friday that Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, head of the movement's political bureau, will lead the new government in Afghanistan. She added that Mullah Muhammad Yaqoub, the son of the late founder of the movement, Mullah Omar, and Sher Muhammad Abbas Stanikzai will hold prominent positions in the next government.

While the "Taliban" had revealed earlier that it would announce the ceremony of the new government in the presidential palace in Kabul.

The United States, the European Union, and others questioned the Taliban's reassurances, saying that official recognition of the new government and the economic assistance that would result from it was "dependent on actions".
