The Talibans’ interim structure has yet to be implemented, and the step seems difficult and far after the United Nations General Assembly decided to postpone a seat for the Taliban and confirm Afghanistan’s former permanent representative, Ghulam Muhammad Ishaqzai, as the country’s permanent representative, according to Khaama Press.
