Russia blames USA for political crises in Afghanistan
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that the United States has a key role in exacerbating the political crisis in Afghanistan by recognizing one candidate in Afghanistan’s presidential election as legitimate.
Marya Zakharova, the spokeswoman of Russian’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “We know that the United States try to avoid disruption in the direct peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government, but Washington by legitimizing one of Afghanistan’s presidential election candidates as the winner has a role in the intensification of the current political crisis in Kabul.”
Fazal Hadi Wazin, a member of Hezb-e-Islamic leadership, said, “Moving to a political solution without inclusive participation, the political crisis will not be resolved.”
Jawid Faisal, National Security Council’s spokesperson, said that regional countries had to respect the Afghans’ will and should take a responsible stance toward Afghanistan.
It is noteworthy that during the Ashraf Ghani and Adbullah’s presidential inauguration ceremonies, Zalmay Khalilzad, the United States Representative for Afghanistan Peace and Reconciliation, the US ambassador in Kabul, and the US army commander in Afghanistan chose to participate in Ashraf Ghani’s inauguration ceremony.
Since then, there have been multiple attempts for a political consensus on an inclusive government between the two leaders, but the efforts have been inconclusive to this date.
Faraidon Khwazon, Abdullah’s spokesman, says “The two sides have not reached any agreement on the formation of an inclusive government and Abdullah’s team will send its proposal and we are hopeful that these plans would solve the current crisis”.
Meanwhile, the European Union has almost considered Afghanistan a no state, missing a comprehensive leadership in one way or another.
It has warned that if the tension between Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah is not resolved, the European countries will be disappointed in Afghanistan.
Iran executed four Afghan prisoners in Vakliabad Prison in Mashhad on Thursday morning, a human rights group reported.
Haalvsh said that the individuals had been arrested in 1398 over drug-related charges and then sentenced to death by the court.
This organization announced the names of the executed prisoners as Zaman Taheri, Salam Taheri, Gholam Qadir Samani and Ebrahim Noorzahi.
Zaman Taheri and Salam Taheri were brothers.
Iranian officials have not commented about the matter so far.
Two people were killed after roof of their house collapsed in southern Helmand province on Friday night, officials said.
Abdul Bari Rashid, head of information and culture in Helmand, told Ariana News that the incident occurred in Tajkan village of Gershak district due to heavy rain.
According to him, the dead include a woman and a child. A man was injured in the incident.
This comes as 10 people have died and six others have been injured as a result of the floods in Helmand province in the last one week.
Officials at the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) say 7,000 incomplete projects of the World Bank are at risk of destruction in Afghanistan. They call on the World Bank to resume the work of these projects.
According to them, discussions have been held with the World Bank about these projects, but there has been no result yet.
“7,000 incomplete projects are being destroyed, and if the work is not started, these projects will be destroyed. We ask the World Bank to resume the work of these projects as soon as possible,” said Noorul Hadi Adel, the spokesperson of MRRD.
Meanwhile, members of the private sector also ask international institutions to resume their work in Afghanistan.
According to the officials of this sector, with the start of these projects, job opportunities will be provided for thousands of people in the country.
“These projects create employment for our people and the country will grow a lot,” said Mirwais Hajizadeh, a member of the private sector.
However, economic experts stated if the work of these projects does not start soon, they will be destroyed and the investments made in them will be wasted.
