The Taliban raised their flag over the Afghan Presidential palace in Kabul, Afghanistan on September 11, reports First Post. Ahmadullah Muttaqi, multimedia branch ‘chief’ of the Taliban’s cultural commission said, the white banner, emblazoned with a Quranic verse, was hoisted by Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, the prime minister of the Taliban interim Government, in a low-key ceremony, adding, the flag-raising marked the official start of the work of the new Government. The composition of the all-male, all-Taliban Government was announced on September 7, and was met with disappointment by the international community which had hoped the Taliban would make good on an earlier promise of an inclusive line up. In a tweet, Afghanistan's first president to follow the 2001 collapse of the Taliban, Hamid Karzai, called for “peace and stability” and expressed the hope that the new caretaker Cabinet that included no women and no non-Taliban would become an “inclusive government that can be the real face of the whole Afghanistan.”
