| Dr. Abdullah Sees Kabul Conference not Important |
| 2010-07-22 |
| Dr. Abdullah, Karzai's top rival in last year's presidential election, said that the announced commitments by Afghan President and International Community are of no importance "Unfortunately, the Afghan government does not have the ability to fulfill its commitments. And the prediction is that the pledges will be left only on papers," said Dr. Abdullah. While highlighting that resolving the Afghan challenges requires a fundamental change, Dr. Abdullah said he will back any move for the improvement of the current situation in Afghanistan. The historic Kabul International Conference ended with commitments made by the Afghan President and International Community about security betterment, crack down on corruption, economic improvements and the control of Afghan government over fifty percent of donor countries aid. Our country needs a national unity and it can only be reached after the government brings fundamental changes to its strategy, he said. "The way out is to bring a basic change in the system, so that on the one hand it should be a system that could address Afghan people's desires and on the other hand it could get legitimacy," he said. Meanwhile, he commented that the Afghan security forces do not have the capability to take full security leadership by 2014 and it requires some more time. |
