Reports said the decision to cancel the 9/11 oath could have been taken due to pressure from allied countries or financial constraints.
The Taliban have canceled the swearing-in ceremony of their interim cabinet, which was scheduled to take place on September 11, the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attack, reports say. The decision could have been made to save money at a time when the country is shrinking due to lack of cash. Some reports have said that the Taliban were pressured by their allies not to hold an swearing-in ceremony.
The Taliban leadership never confirmed that the Taliban planned to hold it on September 11, although reports have claimed that invitations were issued to China, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Qatar, Russia, India and the United States. On Friday, the Kremlin confirmed that Russia would not participate in any way in the inauguration ceremony of the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The Speaker of the Upper House of the Russian Parliament said earlier this week that Russia would be represented at the inauguration by ambassador-level officials, the RIA news agency reported.
“The inauguration ceremony of the new Afghan government was canceled a few days ago. Not to confuse people anymore, the leadership of the Islamic Emirate announced the part of the cabinet and it has already started working,” Inamullah said. Samangani, a member of the Taliban government’s cultural commission, tweeted.
After delaying the announcement of a disagreement between the Taliban and the Haqqani network, a provisional cabinet under the leadership of Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada was announced on Tuesday.
