Hekmatyar slams senior officials for anti-govt coalition and embezzlement of billions of dollars
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The leader of Hezb-e-Islami  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... once again slammed the bigwigs actively working in the government for forming new anti-government political coalitions. Hekmatyar made the remarks during an interview with the foreign journalists in Kabul. He said considering the internal situation of Afghanistan and its regional position, a strong central government is always a need along with a president who has full authorities, insisting that without this it would be difficult to ensure peace and bring stability in the country. The leader of Hezb-e-Islami questioned the current government’s authorities, saying when a president is even prevented from appointing a governor by the internal and external circles, how such a government would be able to eliminate violence and govern on the nation. Hekmatyar also criticized the senior government officials for the formation of the new political coalitions and expressed concern ...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended... s regarding the threats, show of power, and rallies by their armed supporters. He said billions of dollars have been embezzled, banks have been looted, hundreds of acres of land have been grabbed, and the government remains weak to try the perpetrators. The remarks by Hekmatyar comes as efforts are underway by some key political figures, including General Abdul Rashi Dostum  ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier..., Ata Mohammad Noor, and Mohammad Mohaqiq to formally declare the establishment of their new political coalition. Posted by: Fred 2017-08-07 |
