Ghani Condemns Stoning And Lashing of Ghor Girls
[Tolo News] In an interview with Deutsche Welle (DW), Germany's state-run broadcaster, Afghanistan's Caped President Ashraf Ghani
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. ..
said on Friday that incident's such as the recent public lashing and stoning to death of girls in Ghor province are shameful and despicable.

"This is part of our shame, we have inherited situations that are shameful, that are absolutely despicable," he added.

Ghani also talked on the controversial housing scheme project involving former Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
Bank CEO Khalilullah Frozi and said that some government officials who played a role in the deal were fired and that his own legal advisor had been suspended.

"The minute this became public, I ordered that he [Frozi] be placed in prison in solitary confinement. $20 million USD has been paid by him out of his assets, the property that allegedly he was using to partner on, is now under legal process or being confiscated," he said.

In a question regarding the role of his legal advisor in the deal, Ghani said: "The officials have been dismissed, my legal advisor was responsible for this, the legal advisor has been suspended, a full inquiry is underway to deal with this."

Ghani also talked on the issue of the refugee crisis and said the future of Afghan citizens was guaranteed in their own country, but not abroad.

"We have a complex diaspora. The privileged elite are part of the globalization moment that we live in. What is significant is to create opportunities for the generations to come and the point remains if the families of the privileged live abroad they aren't going to have careers abroad. The careers are back in Afghanistan," Ghani said.
