Loser of Afghan run-off will have role in new govt: US
[ZEENEWS.INDIA] Afghanistan's new leader -- whoever it may be -- will include the loser of the presidential runoff in a proposed unity government, a US official said on Monday. The United States served as a key broker in Saturday's breakthrough in Kabul which saw Afghanistan's rival claimants to the presidency, Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... and Ashraf Ghani, agree to an audit of all votes cast. Posted by: Fred 2014-07-15 |
