Hekmatyar’s presence in Kabul to have positive impact on security: Dostum
2017-03-08
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The First Vice President General Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
has said the presence of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar
... who used to be known in intelligence circles as The Most Evil Man in the World but who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil...
, the leader of Hezb-e-Islami, in 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 World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
will have a positive impact on security situation of the country.

Gen. Dostum made the remarks during a meeting with the brass hats of Hezb-e-Islami, including Hekmatyar’s son Habib-ur-Rehman Hekmatyar in Kabul.

He said Hekmatyar’s presence in Kabul will also help the Afghan forces to gain more morale in fight against the terrorist groups.

The delegation by Hezb-e-Islami also included Juma Khan Hamdard, Humayoun Jarir and some other key leaders of the party.

The two sides discussed the ongoing security situation of the country, specifically focusing on security situation in northern parts of Afghanistan.

According to the Office of the First Vice President, some of the key topics discussed during the meeting, included security and stability of the country, national unity and partnership, and implementation of the articles of peace deal between the Afghan government and Hezb-e-Islami.

The top leaders of Hezb-e-Islami informed the First Vice President regarding the necessary preparations to welcome Hekmatyar to Kabul.

In his turn, Hekmatyar’s son, Habib-ur-Rehman, said the recent reports regarding the deteriorating health condition of the party’s leader are not accurate and that preparations are underway for his return to Kabul.
