it's not the Afghan government but Taliban leadership leaked it to Afghan government in peace talks. and it was not in Taliban interest anymore to hide his death.
Taliban are already worried about factions and members diverting to IS and the key reason is the absence of their leader.
Mullah akhtar Mansoor support peace process they were saying peace process have the blessing of Mullah omar but we know it has the blessing of ISI. how is peace process legitimate in the eyes of mainstream taliban when the supposed leader who were incharge of every decision is already dead some 2 years ago and some one is making decisions on his behalf who is not a leader.
Mansoor’s credibility is already in question over his continued silence over the death of his supreme leader and putting out false statements on his behalf, (mis)leading the fighters to believe that not only was their leader alive and supervising their “holy war against foreign occupation forces”, but was also endorsing the Islamabad-sponsored peace talks.
