(NDS) Chief Rahmatullah Nabil's resignation.
A statement by the Palace said "Mr. Nabil presented his resignation to the President of Afghanistan for approval today. Despite the President was not in favor of changes in this security department during the current situation, but he respected Mr. Nabil's demand and approved it."
President Ghani will call for a meeting this evening to appoint the acting chief from within the National Directorate of Security, the statement said.
Reports regarding the resignation of Nabil emerged this afternoon and followed an unusual statement posted on his official Facebook page late last night.
Nabil harshly criticized the Pak leadership's stance regarding the ongoing situation in Afghanistan and efforts to bring the Taliban group to negotiation table.
Nabil said the innocent Afghan civilians were martyred and beheaded in Kandahar airfield, Khanshin district of Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
, Takhar and Badakhshan at the same 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...
was delivering his speech, once calling the enemy of Afghanistan as Pakistain's enemy.
In an apparent gesture towards the Afghan leadership's approach towards Pakistain, Nabil said "At least 1,000 litres blood of our innocent people spilled which was similar to the red carpet where we did a cat walk. But the one who was present with us in the gathering and made an announcement from Quetta city of Pakistain under the name of Taliban, using the ISI computer to claim the glory. And we became so much apprehended and excited with 21 artillery gun salute that we agreed regarding the execution of 40 assaults/operations against the enemies of Pakistain and promised to soon launch a large operation against Mullah Fazlullah
...son-in-law of holy man Sufi Mohammad. Known as Mullah FM, Fazlullah had the habit of grabbing his FM mike when the mood struck him and bellowing forth sermons. Sufi suckered the Pak govt into imposing Shariah on the Swat Valley and then stepped aside whilst Fazlullah and his Talibs imposed a reign of terror on the populace like they hadn't seen before, at least not for a thousand years or so. For some reason the Pak intel services were never able to locate his transmitter, much less bomb it. After ruling the place like a conquered province for a year or so, Fazlullah's Talibs began gobbling up more territory as they pushed toward Islamabad, at which point as a matter of self-preservation the Mighty Pak Army threw them out and chased them into Afghanistan...
in a bid to keep our 60-year-old friend glad."
Frustrated with the growing interference of Pakistain in internal affairs of Afghanistan and President Ghani's approach, Nabil questioned regarding the 5000-year-old history of Afghanistan saying it has kneeled to a 60-year-old history.
Nabil also added that the Pak Taliban chief Mullah Fazlullah has been residing in Pakistain and ISI guesthouses during the past several months and years, insisting that Mullah Fazlullah is part of ISI projects.
