And if not demand, but inquire that civilized relations demand obeying civilized rules”. Putin further warned, “In case of disintegration, there will be nobody to talk to – there is also The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and what else not is currently present in Afghanistan.

Fars reported on September 11 that rumours about Massoud, the son of late former Afghan guerrilla commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, leaving Afghanistan for Turkey or any other place are false and the resistance leader is said to be in a safe place. The Taliban said that they have captured the Afghan province of Panjshir, the last resistance stronghold in the country, a claim denied by the National Resistance Front (NRF) led by Massoud and former Afghan vice president Amrullah Saleh, who has declared himself caretaker president. Panjshir was the last Afghan province holding out against the Taliban who swept to power last month and have now declared an interim government. The NRF said that the resistance forces are present at all strategic positions across the valley to continue the fight.

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.”

US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said that former Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s decision to flee the country last month shattered a last-minute deal with the Islamic Emirate that was designed to negotiate a political transition, reports Ariana News on September 15. In an interview with the Financial Times, US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said according to the plan, Ghani would have remained in his post until an agreement was reached on a future government – even as the Taliban’s forces were at the gates of Kabul. However, Khalilzad said the power vacuum left by Ghani’s unexpected escape on August 15 led to the fall of his government and the takeover by the Islamic Emirate. He said the escape of the President and takeover by the Taliban, in turn, sparked a chaotic evacuation of civilians and troops and effectively ended the talks in Doha.

The leaders of Afghanistan’s opposition including the armed National Resistance Front (NRF) against the Taliban have left the country and are regrouping intending to form a government in exile, reports Foreign Policy on September 24. Politicians including ministers and parliamentary deputies of the deposed government, as well as senior military figures, are in neighboring Tajikistan, seeking financial and military support to bolster a formal opposition to the Taliban, former officials living abroad said. Ahmad Massoud, and former Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh, who both led a short-lived resistance in the Panjshir Valley northeast of Kabul, fled across the border in recent weeks after their efforts to hold out against the Taliban were crushed. A former senior Afghan security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the resistance comprises three broad categories: supporters of Saleh and Massoud’s NRF; former officers, including generals of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), as well as senior officials of the former Defense and Interior Ministries; and former Ministers and Deputy Ministers. Discussions are in the early stages, and the groups are yet to unite ideologically.
