Abdullah Abdullah said Friday that progress has been made in the political negotiations between Arg and Sapidar Palace, a move forward to resolve the political disputes between him and his political rival Mohammad Ashraf Ghani.

“We have made progress in negotiations and reached tentative agreement on a range of principles,” Abdullah said in a tweet.

He added that work on details is underway to finalize the agreement.

“We hope to finalize the political agreement at the earliest so that we can pay undivided attention to tackling COVID-19 pandemic,” said Abdullah emphasizing, “ensuring a just, dignified and lasting peace, and confronting the security and economic challenges in a spirit of national unity and solidarity.”

Meanwhile, in a meeting with Deborah Lyons, the UN Special Envoy to Afghanistan, the second vice president Sarwar Danish said that Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah would reach a political agreement in the next a few days and that Abdullah is to lead the High Reconciliation Council.

On the other hand, a plan under the name of the “framework of the political agreement” was made public, attributed to Abdullah Abdullah. The formation of the Government Supreme Council of the Government with the presence of political leaders, the formation of an executive Prime Minister with a focus on peace and the handing over of the peace process to the executive prime minister were the biggest parts of the plan, but Sapidar Palace said this plan is not part of Abdullah Abdullah’s political agreement.

The plan, which has just become public, also mentions the transfer of executive authority and a 50 percent share in the government to Abdullah Abdullah as the second person in the country and the transfer of Marshall’s rank to General Dostum. Earlier, sources in the leadership of Abdullah’s team confirmed the existence of such cases in Mr. Abdullah’s plan.
