Analysts warn against the continuation of a power vacuum in the country and say that the lack of an inclusive government will take Afghanistan into a military and political crisis.

According to analysts and politicians, if a government that is not inclusive, justice-centered, and acceptable to all is not formed, poverty and migration will increase more than ever.

“If we again create hope, government employees go to their jobs, customs revenues are collected and a government is formed that the world recognizes, I am certain that people will not leave the country,” said Mohammad Sangar Zada, a political analyst.

Meanwhile, Omar Zakhilwal, the former Afghan envoy to Pakistan, said the Taliban will need to form an inclusive government. 

“The Taliban alone might not be able to govern. They inevitably have to open the way for others and we expect they will do so, and we expect others to (to participate). We will have a government--not only the Taliban government but an inclusive government,” he said.

The Taliban meanwhile said that they are working to form an inclusive government but they gave no details about their discussions.

“Discussions are ongoing about the next government. There is no need to rush because the base of a government is being laid,” said Abdulhaq Wasiq, a member of the Taliban’s political office.

Analysts are voicing their concerns over the power vacuum after the former government collapsed two weeks ago.
