| [ALMANAR.LB] Afghanistan's President, Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. , blamed neighboring Pakistain for what he described as Islamabad's support to Talibs, after a suicide boom-mobileing earlier in the day near 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.... 's international airport killed five people. In a televised address, Ghani called on Islamabad to crack down on the bully boys, and said he was sending a delegation to Islamabad later this week. Afghanistan's Caped President Ashraf Ghani"We know they have sanctuaries there, we know they are active there," Ghani said, referring to Taliban leaders living in Pakistain. "We need all those activities to be stopped." Since assuming office a year ago, Ghani has pursued closer relations with Pakistain, which wields influence over the bully boy group, hoping that it could use that influence to bring the Taliban into peace negotiations. For its part Pakistain, which has in the past denied supporting the Taliban, said it remains committed to maintaining good relations with Kabul and that after losing tens of thousands of its own people to terrorist attacks, it can feel the "pain and anguish of the brotherly people" of Afghanistan over the latest attacks there. "Pakistain condemns these deadly attacks in Afghanistan in the strongest terms," said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, adding that Pakistain will continue to support and facilitate an "Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process" with the Taliban. Pakistain hosted the first official round of Kabul-Taliban negotiations last month, but a second round that was due at the end of last month was indefinitely postponed after the Afghan government announced the death more than two years ago of the reclusive Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar. |
