Afghan Govt May Face Revolt if Mistakes Continue: Abdullah
2011-04-08
[Tolo News] If the Afghan government continues making mistakes, it may face popular uprising similar to those in the mid east, Opposition Leader Abdullah Abdullah
... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun...
warned on Wednesday.

Leader of Change and Hope coalition Dr Abdullah Abdullah, speaking at a gathering in Kabul, blamed the recent violence during Koran protests on "some hands in the government".

The gathering was titled Lessons from Mid-East and North Africa.

Dr Abdullah also accused Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
of dictating the Attorney General.

He said the Attorney General has insulted the nation by refusing to appear before the House of Representatives.

The Afghan Attorney General has been accused of interfering in electoral affairs for which he was summoned to the parliament earlier this week, but he rebuffed the call in a letter and said the parliamentarians did not have the right so summon him.

"The Attorney General was summoned but he refused to go to the parliament. Isn't the rejection letter he sent to the parliament ludicrous?," said Dr Abdullah.

Mr Abdullah also accused the Afghan government of using the judicial body as a tool.

Dr Abdullah urged fundamental changes in the current political system in Afghanistan.

"We do not want the current system to collapse, this system has been achieved through sacrifices of a nation, but the people want change and god-willing the Afghan people will finally be able to bring change," he said.

He said if the Afghan government listens to the Afghan people and shake itself it still has a chance and three years ahead to serve Afghans.

"If the current leadership keeps making mistakes, it can only expect a similar fate as the leaders of the Middle East and North Africa," said Dr Abdullah.

Head of Masood Foundation, Ahmad Wali Masood, also made a speech expressing concern about the current political situation in the country.

"If the stakeholders, authorities and especially the international community do not take action, I have to regretfully say that Afghanistan may go in an unknown direction," Mr Masood said.

Dr Abdullah called on the Afghan nation to be united and not let anyone to misuse their honest feelings against the national interests of Afghanistan.
