The Taliban are gearing up to announce a new Afghan government while the country faces severe economic struggles

Premier Haibatullah Akhundzada is likely to be the Taliban's highest commander. The Taliban rulers of Afghanistan, who were getting ready to announce their new government on Thursday, are hoping to avert economic collapse two weeks after their fighters seized Kabul and left 20 years of conflict in chaos.

Ahmadullah Muttaqi, a Taliban official, announced on social media that a ceremony was held at the presidential palace in Kabul. At the same time, Tolo reported that a declaration about a ruling party was about to be made.

The future of the Afghan GDP depends on the trust of foreign donors and business people, and they have been dealt a severe blow in the form of a devastating drought and the loss of about 250000 lives in the country's war.

The Taliban have pledged to offer foreign citizens and Afghans who remained behind after the significant airlift an escape route out of the country. However, Kabul International Airport has been blocked. Therefore many are travelling by foot to nearby countries.

The airport in Kabul had a visit from a Qatari technical official to discuss the restoration of services, improving emergency aid and enabling more rescue operations, a source knowledgeable about the situation stated.

Dominic Raab, Britain's foreign secretary, will be travelling to Doha to meet with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani on Thursday to address the situation in Afghanistan, his office announced.

The British Foreign Office said in a statement.

"Restoring Kabul International Airport to operation and protecting the freedom of movement of foreign nationals and Afghans across the country's borders is a top priority " The prospects of getting Kabul airport back in action and ensuring the safety of foreign nationals and Afghans moving across land borders on the top of the agenda.

According to a senior Taliban source who spoke to Reuters last month, the Taliban's top leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, is anticipated to hold immense authority over a new ruling council, with a president reporting to him.

Since overthrew the Taliban administration in Afghanistan in 2001, it had run under the direction of an unelected leadership council, which before the Taliban rule imposed a strict interpretation of Sharia law that harshly punished transgressions.

Since the Taliban rose to power in early May, they have made a show of moderation and promised to respect human rights and avoid taking revenge on former adversaries.

But many nations, including the United States, the European Union, and others, mistrust that the present government has received any official assurances. Their confidence in the new regime is dependent on its providing a successful plan to restore order.
