Consultations between Taliban and politicians begin in Kabul
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban's political deputy and head of the group's office in Qatar, arrived in Kandahar on a special flight from Doha with nine of his colleagues.
Despite Mullah Baradar's visit to Kandahar from Doha, led by a nine-member delegation, some sources within the Taliban confirm that the delegation will begin consultations with politicians in Kabul and discuss the future of the system. Not going to Doha for talks.
Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwa, a member of the Taliban's delegation, said Baradar would arrive in Kabul in the near future and would formally begin talks with Afghan politicians on the future of the regime.
"Consultations on governance will start tomorrow, which will be shared with you and will not take long," he said.
The Taliban say one of the aims of Mullah Baradar's visit to Afghanistan is that talks between Afghans will now take place inside the country.
Faiz Mohammad Zaland, a university lecturer, said: "The decisions that were made for politicians to go to Doha were rejected, now all decisions are made in Afghanistan."
With the formation of the new system, people are again demanding the preservation of the achievements of the past two decades.
"If civil war breaks out in Afghanistan, we will lose hope in our society," said Ramazan, a Kabul resident.
Mohammad Sayed, another Kabul resident, said: "Right now I came across the airport road and saw that many people wanted to leave the country because people were frustrated."
The Taliban have also reacted to Amrullah Saleh's remarks that he is acting Afghan in the absence of Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, according to the constitution.
Abdul Salam Hanafi, a member of the Taliban's delegation, said: "Those who came to Afghanistan by force today left Afghanistan and took the constitution with them."
Meanwhile, Anas Haqqani, a member of the Taliban's peace delegation, met with Abdullah Abdullah and Hamid Karzai at Abdullah's residence today.
Discussions on the structure of the future system were one of the topics discussed during the meeting, sources said.
