| [Tolo News] Presiding over the weekly Council of Ministers (CM) meeting on Monday, Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... , the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Unity Government (NUG), once again accused Pakistain of harboring militancy, and asked them to stop funding and assisting bully boys. "We expect that funding to the Taliban is halted. Mutual trust will be built when funding to the Taliban ends," Abdullah said. At the meeting, Abdullah also praised Afghan troops who managed to push back "Progress has been made regarding the clearance operation in Kunduz. Some of the people have returned to their homes, however, we want more security measures for Kunduz to be considered," he said. While the Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... renews Islamabad's commitment to work at resuming the Afghan peace talks which stalled following the reported death of Taliban's reclusive leader Mullah Omar ... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality... , Abdullah called on Pak officials to stop backing the holy warriors in an effort to rehabilitate mutual understanding and trust between the two nations. Referring to Pakistain's controversial role in the war, some Afghan political commentators on Monday asked the government to hold talks with Pakistain and to put pressure on the neighboring country through the UN Security Council to stop them from funding and collaborating with the Taliban. "Pakistain must be dealt with seriously. The international community and the UN must mount pressure on Pakistain," military analyst Jawed Kohistan ...a backwoods district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa distinguished by being even more rustic than is the norm among the local Pashtuns.... i said. Many in Afghanistan are skeptical about Pakistain's honest cooperation on the war against insurgency, urging that Afghan officials have always asked Pakistain to cooperate, but all efforts remained unproductive. Afghan government and Taliban held their first official talks in the Pak city of Muree in July. But the talks were deadlocked amid the reported death of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad BlinkyOmar and Taliban launched fresh offensives and acts of violence on Afghan cities. |
