[Tolo News] Afghanistan's Caped 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... has ordered the Ministry of Interior to arrest and disarm a police local unit accused of raping an 18-year-old girl, New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... wrote quoting government front man Aimal Faizi. A shepherd girl was in jug of the Afghan local police for days and was reportedly raped several times by the members of the unit. Afghan local police is considered to be an effective element in securing the country and their roles have been called effective in many provinces. "We believe existence of local police is effective in securing in several parts of the country, but for a long term base, their presence will not be as effective," Aimal Faizi has told New York Times. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea... Sayed Sarwar Hussaini, a front man to Kunduz provincial police chief dismissed reports about the rape case and said the presidential palace never referred to them for details. "We have sent our information to Interior Ministry, but the decision makers at the presidential palace never got back to us." It comes as Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission has strongly condemned the incident. "We strongly condemn the incident and express our concern in this regard, no criminal should be forgiven by the government," Musa Mahmoodi, CEO of Human Rights Commission said. This is believed to be the first group rape case reflected in the Afghan media. |
