News agencies reported that the transitional administration of Afghanistan will be headed by former Interior Minister Ali Ahmad Jalali, but Taliban representatives said they did not discuss the creation of an interim government. The Ministry of Internal Affairs promised a peaceful transfer of power, and negotiations took place between the Taliban and the government in the afternoon. The Taliban intend to announce the creation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Taliban entered the country's capital just over a month after US President Joe Biden , who announced the withdrawal of troops, ruled out the fall of the Afghan government in response to a journalist's question.
