Anas Haqqani, a member of the Taliban’s political office, and other Taliban members met with former president Hamid Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah, the chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation, in Kabul on Wednesday, sources said.

The meeting took place at the house of Abdullah Abdullah, according to the sources, but details on what was discussed are not yet available.

The Taliban took control of Kabul on Sunday.

Earlier, Mawlawi Khairullah Khairkhwah, a member of the Taliban’s political office in Doha who is currently in Kandahar city, has confirmed that Taliban deputy leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and eight other Taliban members arrived in Kandahar on Tuesday from Qatar.

“We do not see anybody as our enemies anymore now,” said Khairkhwah.

He did not provide further details about Baradar’s trip to Kandahar.

On Tuesday the Taliban confirmed to TOLOnews that they seek to establish an inclusive government in Afghanistan.

A Taliban official told TOLOnews that the results of their discussions with Afghan politicians and representatives from the international community about forming an “inclusive government” will be made public soon.

Sources close to Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah said that Amir Khan Motaqi, a senior member of the Taliban leadership, in a meeting with Afghan politicians on Monday pledged to establish an inclusive government.

Mutaqi met with Hamid Karzai and Abdullah Abdullah on Monday.

“The discussion is how can an inclusive government be established that is accepted by all and that will lead society toward prosperity,” said Gul Rahman Qazi, a close aide to Hamid Karzai.

“They are busy in discussions about an inclusive government, a government that is accepted by all Afghans and where differences are overcome,” said Sayed Akbar Agha, head of the Rah-e-Nejat Council of Afghanistan.
