Four Afghan ministers renounce foreign citizenship
KABUL - Four Afghan cabinet ministers have given up their foreign citizenship, an official said on Saturday, in the face of possible opposition from the future parliament. Afghanistanâs new constitution, passed in January 2004, does not allow ministers to hold dual citizenship. The four who gave up their foreign citizenship are Economy Minister Mir Mohammad Amin Farhang, public works minister Suhrab Ali "Surfin'" Safari, Mohammad Azam Dadfar, minister for refugees repatriation and Communications Minister Amirzai Sangin. âThey have voluntarily scrapped their second citizenships,â chief presidential spokesman Mohammad Karim Rahimi told Reuters.
