| General Abdul Rashid Dostum said he would boycott the interim Afghan government to be installed in Kabul. Dostum said his mainly Uzbek Junbish-i-Milli faction was not fairly represented under the accord. Dostum had demanded that the foreign ministry be allocated to his faction. Instead it got the portfolios of agriculture and mining and industry. "This is a humiliation for us," he declared, adding that he would deny officials of the new government access to the north, where Afghanistan's oil and gas resources are located. |
