Hekmatyar rips Bonn agreement
2001-12-05
  • Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hikmatyar blasted the results of the Afghan conference in Bonn. Hikmatyar demanded "the immediate departure of all foreign forces," from Afghanistan and the convening of a council including "all Afghan ethnicities." Hikmatyar also called for elections to a parliament that would draft a constitution. "Afghans will not accept powers co-opted by medieval methods, nor imposed on them," he warned.
    Translated: He wants to be in charge. If Afghanistan falls apart again, this is the guy who's gonna do it.
