AP: Taliban intend to announce the creation of the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan"

As the agency reminds, the Taliban gave the same name to the country under their government more than 20 years ago before it was expelled.

The source wished to remain anonymous, as he was not authorized to report this to the media.

On August 15, the head of the Supreme Council of Afghanistan for National Reconciliation, Abdullah Abdullah, confirmed that the President of the Republic, Ashraf Ghani, had left the country.
