| Peace Council Knows Not Who to Make Peace With: Parliament |
| 2011-06-02 |
| [Tolo News] The Afghan High Peace Council still fails to identify who to hold peace talks with, a number of parliamentarians said on Wednesday. Strongly criticising the government, some politicians said the government still doesn't have a clear definition of who the enemy is. Lawmakers described the war in Afghanistan as a war with no goals. Parliamentarians called the loss of prominent Jihadi leaders irrecoverable, saying the government should clarify the track of the war. "Every word is vague and ironical and we are living in a situation with no clear enemy. Our President is lost and the peace council fails to find those it should hold peace talks with. We are being killed every day," said a member of parliament, Mohammad Saleh Saljoqi. Another member of parliament, Fawzia Naseryar Gudarayee, said: "chained liquidations are performed based on an organised plan by Pak players with their international supporters." Speaker of the House of Representatives also voiced concern over the growing deaths of civilians either in the Taliban-led attacks or foreign forces' operations. "The casualties which include high-ranking government officials, innocent children and women are either caused by suicide kabooms and bombings or ground and air raids of international forces," House Speaker Abdul Rauf Ebrahimi said. Mr Ebrahimi said politicians are due to meet President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... next week to discuss a wide range of issues, including civilian casualties, introduction of the remaining members of the cabinet and the destiny of elections special tribunal. |
