Salahuddin Rabbani Replaces Father as Head of High Peace Council
[Tolo News] Salahuddin Rabban is the new head of Afghanistan's High Peace Council, replacing his father Burhanuddin Rabbani ... the gentlemanly murdered legitimate president of Afghanistan... who was head of the council when he was assassinated by the Taliban last year. The appointment was confirmed by Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... on Saturday. Salahuddin was Afghanistan's Ambassador to Turkey before he was appointed as acting chairman of Islamist political party Jamaat-e-Islami ...which is different from the Pak and Bangla Jamaats... , the party his father led from 1968 to his death in 2011. President Karzai, the first vice president Marshal Fahim, Governor of Balkh Atta Mohammed Noor, and member of Parliament Abdul Rasul Sayyaf made the new appointment, according to a statement from Karzai's press office. Salahuddin is quoted in the statement as saying that Afghanistan would only reach stability through peace, and that for any peace to be brokered it must be an Afghan-led process or it will not have the trust of Afghans. Salahuddin's father, Burhanuddin Rabbani, was assassinated on September 20 last year by a so-called Taliban messenger at his Kabul home in Wazir Akbar Khan. The suicide kaboomer placed bombs in his turban and went kaboom!" while greeting Burhanuddin. Burhanuddin was president of Afghanistan from 1992 to 1996, and then became a member of parliament. He was appointed head of the High Peace Council in October 2010 when it was first formed by Karzai in an effort to find a political solution for the decade long war in the country.
