Karzai Hopeful of New Government This Week
President Hamid Karzai called on both the Presidential candidates to reach an agreement and put an end to the crises to save the war-hit Afghanistan.
President Karzai said these statements in a ceremony commemorating martyr’s week and the martyrdom of National Hero Ahmad Shah Massoud Tuesday in Kabul.
“I am hopeful that both the candidates will reach an agreement today or in next two days,” added Karzai in his speech.
Karzai asked the nation, “Say (to candidates) we won’t let you this way, we want you to be united and we want the new government as soon as possible.”
These statements are expressed as the candidates are yet to reach an agreement on proposed government of national unity.

Governor of Balkh Atta Muhammad Noor, a strong ally of Abdullah, has also warned they would not accept a government who would come through fraud votes.

Pakistan is using its territory against Afghanistan: MoD
The Ministry of National Defense of Afghanistan (MoD) has strongly rejected Pakistan’s claim that the recent attack on Chinese nationals in Pakistan was planned from the territory of Afghanistan.
Late last month five Chinese nationals and one Pakistani were killed in a suicide bombing near Besham, in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, Inayatullah Khwarazmi, said that Daesh came from Pakistan to the territory of Afghanistan and its goals were organized from there.
He said that Pakistan should respond to these actions.
Khwarazmi, said that in an area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is under the security of the Pakistan Army, the killing of Chinese nationals is either the weakness of the security institutions or their cooperation with the attackers.
Khwarazmi says that the Islamic Emirate has assured China that Afghans are not involved in such incidents.
The territorial tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are on the rise again. In the latest issue, Islamabad has accused Kabul of harboring terrorist networks.
Pakistan’s intelligence service has claimed that the Besham attack was planned in Afghanistan.
