The deputy head of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar has given an interview to BBC Pashto, APA reports.

Sher Abbas Stanekzai said a Taliban government could be announced in the next two days and would be inclusive – with a role for women at lower levels but not in very high positions.

He also said those who served in government in the past two decades would not be included.

He said the recent chaos at Kabul airport was due to the mismanagement by the Americans, and $30m (£22m) was now needed for repairs.

He added that the airport would be ready to resume operations in two days.
