KABUL (SW) – It has been over a week since the Taliban took control of Kabul, but the power vacuum in the country still persists and many public and private institutions remain closed.
A number of experts call the power vacuum in the country as harmful.
Shahzada Shahed, an analyst and former parliamentarian, said it was worrying and many opportunists might take advantage of the power vacuum to plunge the country back into despair. He said the power vacuum must be filled as soon as possible with the creation of an all-inclusive government, a government that mirrors the country’s citizens and has global legitimacy.
The power vacuum has left government offices and banks closed.
Seyyed Akbar Agha, a former member of the Taliban and a well-informed figure, said he was also concerned about the power vacuum, but said the security situation in the country has improved and it will take time to fill the power vacuum.
According to Akbar Agha, the world is watching how a government is formed in Afghanistan to be globally acceptable. “The Taliban do not want to face global restrictions again, so they are trying to establish a comprehensive government,” he said.
The remarks come as Taliban officials have repeatedly said they are trying to fill the power vacuum as soon as possible and establish a comprehensive government.
