The Afghan Taliban has appointed 44 of its members to key responsibilities, including provincial governors and police chiefs.
According to the British news agency Reuters, the Taliban's move on Sunday is an important step in advancing their rule as the country is facing growing security and economic problems.
This is the first round of large-scale appointments since the cabinet was formed in September.
The Taliban has released a list of new members for its members, including Qari Baryal as Kabul's governor and Wali Jan Hamza as the city's police chief.
Maulvi Hamdullah Mukhlis, a former commander in charge of Kabul's security, was killed this month in an attack on Afghanistan's largest military hospital in central Kabul.
ISIS has carried out attacks across the country, while the economy is in crisis.
The Taliban have been urged internationally to negotiate with other political players to form a comprehensive government, including minorities and women, although no significant progress has been made.
