nti-Taliban forces in Afghanistan have asked the international community not to recognise the new government announced by the Islamists on Tuesday.
The all-male cabinet consisting entirely of Taliban leaders or their associates is "illegal", they said.
The US has expressed concern that the interim government includes figures linked to attacks on US forces.
And the EU said the Islamist group had reneged on promises to make it "inclusive and representative".
The interim cabinet is led by Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, who is on a UN blacklist. Another figure, Sirajuddin Haqqani, is wanted by the American FBI. joker wallet
Who's who in the Taliban leadership
The National Resistance Front (NRF) said it considered the announcement of the Taliban's caretaker cabinet "a clear sign of the group's enmity with the Afghan people".
The Taliban insist they have now defeated the NRF in the Panjshir Valley north of Kabul, but NRF leaders say they are still fighting.
