| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The 500kV mega TUTAP power project controversy is spreading across the country with the residents of southeastern parts of the country stepping in to support the government’s decision for the implementation of the project. Thousands of people staged demonstrations in support of President Ghani in southeastern Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... and Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... s of Afghanistan. The protesters were shouting slogans against the Vice Presidents and Second Deputy Chief Executive Officer during the rally. They also denounced the protest by an activist against President Ghani during his speech at RUSI in London last week, saying humiliation of the President is humiliation against the Afghan people. This comes as a massive demonstration is due for Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... to protest against the government’s decision for the implementation of the project through Salang. A number of the prominent Mujahideen leaders have warned of a possible violence as a mass demonstration is due for Kabul on Monday, expressing concerns regarding the protest and calling on the organizers of the demonstration to prevent from the rally. They also called on the government not to take any step towards the implementation of the project until the issue is resolved. President Ghani said last week that a commission will be given the task to review the power project, emphasizing that there are different views regarding the route through which the project should be implemented. |
