Gulbuddin Hekmatyar... who used to be known in intelligence circles as
The Most Evil Man in the Worldbut who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil...
has warned of public uprising against the groups pursuing violence as he insisted on elections as the only way to reach to power.
Hekmatyar made the remarks during a meeting with the tribal elders of five provinces in West of Afghanistan during his visit to Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
province on Tuesday.
He said we call upon all sides to end the war and if this does not happen and those pursing violence continue to their armed insurgency then the people will be forced to start uprising against them.
The leader of Hezb-e-Islami did not name any specific group pursuing violence in the country.
However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
he has long been criticizing the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group for waging a baseless insurgency in the country, calling the move by the Taliban snuffies against the humanity and principles of Islam.
In the meantime, Hekmatyar said the only way to reach to power is through elections.
