Former Minister of Commerce and Industry, Anwarulhaq Ahadi said that now is the time for Afghan people to think an alternative for the current government.

Anwarulhaq Ahadi, Former Minister of Commerce and Industry declared that those who claim there is no alternative for the government insult Afghan people.

A number of members of former government and ex-governors in a gathering stressed that situation of the government is in crisis and an alternative must be found for the current government.

The security situation worsens almost daily in large parts of the country, and is aggravated by the rising casualties of innocent Afghans in aerial bombardments of villages in conflict zones – principally due to a lack of coordination between Afghan government and coalition forces, and even within the coalition forces themselves.

“I think now is the time to think over the fate of this country and find an alternative for the government,” Anwarulhaq Ahadi, Former Minister of Commerce and Industry said.

Afghanistan’s government must be systemically changed to provide alternatives to the current dysfunctional system reminiscent of the old monarchy. The new system should help transform problematic state-society relations, and improve socioeconomic conditions for the people. It should be built from the bottom up and run by empowered Afghan citizens.

However, advisor to the Chief of Executive Officer CEO, Abdullah Abdullah is said to consider such statements controversial and illegal.

“They are those who have not reached to their goals and now say such statements. They should not make riots among people in this critical situation,” Sayed Aqa Fazel Sancharaki, advisor to CEO said.

Previously, National Unity Government leaders have said that those who think of an alternative for the government must understand the alternative is Taliban and Daesh.

According to a report released on 5th August by the UN, there has been a major spike in civilian casualties which are now at their highest level since the Taliban regime was toppled in 2001. During the first six months of 2015, almost 5,000 civilians were killed or wounded.

As the report highlights, this surge has been driven by an almost 80 per cent increase in Taliban suicide and complex attacks, akin to the ones that rocked Kabul at the weekend.

In this context, it is also separately reported that more than 5,000 Afghan force members could be killed in action in 2015, a figure that would be the highest ever.

And the warfare is also widening geographically. Since the spring, for instance, the Taliban have maintained an offensive in north Afghanistan, targeting especially Kunduz province.

Turkish Airlines will resume its flights to Afghanistan tomorrow (Tuesday), officials said on Monday.

The Ministry of Transport said that a Turkish Airlines plane will land in Kabul airport on Tuesday.

“Tomorrow, Turkish Airlines will resume its flights to Kabul International Airport. There will be four flights between Kabul and Istanbul per week. This is good news for Afghan travelers. For those Afghans who travel to European countries, they can move easily through Turkey,” said Imamuddin Ahmadi, the spokesman of the Ministry of Transport.

However, the Chamber of Commerce and Investment emphasized that visas should be provided to businessmen and citizens of the country, otherwise companies will benefit the most, not Afghan citizens and businessmen.

“Not a single passenger is allowed, the reason is that they do not issue visas. If the Turks don’t start issuing visas, or the Arabs don’t issue visas, the plane will come for the cargo and there will be little movement of people,” said Khanjan Alokozay, a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Investment.

According to a statement issued by Mawlavi Abdul Kabir’s office, the deputy prime minister told DiCarlo: “The previous meeting in Doha was incomplete due to some shortcomings of its organizers, and the position of the Islamic Emirate should be accepted in the next meeting so that the delegation of the Islamic Emirate will participate in it.”

The Secretary General of the United Nations once expressed regret for the Islamic Emirate’s non-participation in the Doha meeting, but at the same time said that accepting the demands of the Islamic Emirate is equivalent to its recognition.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate is asking the United Nations and other countries to recognize them as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.

Kabir said that the Islamic Emirate has fulfilled all its obligations and “rules over the entire geography of Afghanistan… There is a central government in all of Afghanistan that has an emir and is obeyed.”

The United Nations is expected to hold the third Doha meeting with the participation of special representatives of countries for Afghanistan, but it has not set a date for it yet.

The Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs of the United Nations meanwhile visited Kabul this week and invited the Islamic Emirate’s officials to participate in the Doha meeting.

According to the deputy prime minister’s office, DiCarlo informed Kabir about the Doha meeting and said that “the Islamic Emirate’s conditions for participating in this meeting are not difficult.”

She expressed hope that a delegation of the Islamic Emirate will participate.

She said that representatives of a number of international organizations and countries have been invited to the Doha meeting, including the World Bank.
