Afghanistan may be governed by a ruling council now that the Taliban have taken over, while the Islamist militant movement's supreme leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, would likely remain in overall charge, according to a report by news agency Reuters.
Taliban's senior leader Waheedullah Hashimi said it would also reach out to former pilots and soldiers from the Afghan armed forces to join its ranks.
Thousands of soldiers have been killed by Taliban insurgents over the last 20 years, and recently the group targeted US-trained Afghan pilots because of their pivotal role.
Reports suggest that power structure in Afghanistan would bear similarities to the last time the Taliban were in power from 1996 to 2001.?
Then, supreme leader Mullah Omar remained in the shadows and left the day-to-day running of the country to a council.
"There will be no democratic system at all because it does not have any base in our country," he said. "We will not discuss what type of political system we should apply in Afghanistan because it is clear. It is sharia law and that is it."
