“The National Front calls on the government to confess its incapability and announce readiness for resignation,” speaking in a news conference, the Chairman of the New National Front of Afghanistan, Anwar ul-Haq Ahadi said.

Blaming the government for deteriorating security situation, Ahadi claims the government has no plan to improve security and bring reforms.

The politician also announced its support for Friday’s demonstration in Kabul against the government leaders, said: “We condemn the government use of force and firing against the protesters and asking the trail of the perpetrators”.

This comes as thousands of people on Friday staged a protest after a massive suicide bombing that killed at least 90 and wounded more than 400 people in Kabul.
