Meanwhile, a number of leaders of Jihadi Parties who made a new coalition emphasized that they stand beside the government but demand serious reforms.
Under the name of “Afghanistan National and Jihadi Parties Council” they Jihadi leaders committed to cooperate with the current government.
The Jihadi leaders are said to believe that in addition to the increase of insecurity, poverty and violence, the government has also increased neglect.

“We will not leave the National Unity Government alone, we will cooperate and praise and support its good achievements and criticize its mistakes,” Muhammad Karim Khalili, former vice president said.
