Although the details of the agreement are not made public yet, previous media releases indicate that 50 percent of the cabinet appointments will be made by Abdullah, and Gen Dostum will be honored with the highest military rank of marshal, and any dismissal and/or installation of seats will come into effect on reasonable grounds and with the consent of both parties.
The signing of this agreement repeated the history – Afghanistan went back to 2014 – power-sharing under the name of reconciliation.
Once more in the history of Afghanistan, political settlements win over people’s votes.
