Hezb-e-Islami says no agreement reached for political role in the government
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Hezb-e-Islami led by  Gulbuddin Hekmatyar... who used to be known in intelligence circles as The Most Evil Man in the Worldbut who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil... has rejected that the party has reached to an agreement or negotiations are underway for political role in the government of national unity. A statement by Hezb-e-Islami said there have been changes in the stance of the party to seek political share or power in the government. The statement further added that Hezb-e-Islami is prepared to support the government unconditionally for bring peace and stability and ending the ongoing violence in the country. The party also added that Hezb-e-Islami is prepared to assist with the security of the major infrastructure projects, including construction of water dams and the TAPI gas pipeline project, insisting that it has the necessary capabilities to ensure security of such projects. This comes as reports emerged recently suggesting that Hezb-e-Islami is seeking share in the government of national unity led by President Ghani and CEO Abdullah and that negotiations are underway in this regard.
