| Ghani Vows To Uncover Truth Behind Kunduz Collapse |
| 2015-10-02 |
| [Tolo News] President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. said on Thursday that three commissions have been established to probe the Kunduz crisis and that those responsible for the situation will be brought to justice. In a media briefing over the Kunduz siege, Ghani said that until a full investigation has been conducted, it was premature to hold someone accountable for the fall of Kunduz to the Taliban. He however stressed that right now all focus should be on clearing Kunduz from krazed killers. "First we need to save Kunduz then we must go after those responsible for the incident," he said. He declared that the forces of Evil had taken the fight to the north because of the gas pipeline project which he said is vital for Afghanistan. According to Ghani, the north will be very important for the next ten years and that the enemies are trying to disrupt infrastructural development projects. In addition, he praised the security forces for their sacrifices in defending the country. Touching on the issue of spies within the government -- which has lately been referred to as the fifth pillar of government -- Ghani said: "I have personally instructed the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... [NDS] chief to identify those who work as [double agents] within the government." Furthermore, he reiterated that Pakistain had entered into a undeclared war against Afghanistan. "We have defined it as a 'undeclared war' and Pakistain has accepted this definition," he told the journalists. Once again the president said that the forces of Evil were entering Afghanistan from Russia, China, Chechnya and especially Pakistain. "The war is imposed on us, and we are engaged with a wily enemy," Ghani said, pointing to Pakistain who has long been accused of harboring forces of Evil on its soil. This was the second time in a week that Ghani appeared before the nation over the issue of Kunduz -- which fell to the Taliban on Monday. |

| #1 Spies in the government were responsible for the fall of Kunduz? I can't wait to read that report. Pakistan is engaged in undeclared wars with all its neighbors; heck it is engaged in an undeclared war with itself. |
