Gov’t Tensions Could Have ‘Serious Unintended Consequences’, MPs Warn

parlment_31_10_2016_dari_sot-mpg_snapshot_00-07_2016-10-31_19-19-01Rising tensions among National Unity Government (NUG) leaders prompted people’s concerns.

More than two years passed since the formation of the NUG, but the government does not have a specific plan.

Afghan lawmakers say the continuation of these tensions is not acceptable and will have many bad consequences ahead.

“An absolute horror governs the country and people are confused over the current situation,” said Ramazan Bashardost, representative of Kabul.

The new program for reducing insecurities has not discussed in today’s session at Parliament, but representatives noted that the security agencies are weak and higher authorities are not accountable to the people and parliament.

“As you know, several districts are under Taliban’s control, this is not just a matter of security but many other factors,” said Fawzia Kufi, representative of Badakhshan.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Parliament says the interior and defense ministers and head of National Directorate Security (NDS) will  be summoned to the parliament To clarify uncertainties about the spread of insecurity.

“We will not accept Stereotyped answers this time, and we want direct result from the senior authorities,” said Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi, Chairman of parliament.

Previously, the top security officials were repeatedly summoned to the parliament and Senate House, but they had not any positive result so far.

The present situation in Afghanistan is quite problematic. The country has very little in the way of existing infrastructure, and no real prospects for economic growth aside from the illegal drug trade.

The central government’s power is limited to Kabul, and it is almost entirely dependent on US-led forces for security.

Civilian casualties have increased rather than decreased in recent years, and there are few signs that Afghanistan is anywhere near becoming a safer place.

Taliban and al-Qaeda forces established strongholds in parts of Afghanistan and over the border in Pakistan.

US efforts to eliminate Taliban and al-Qaeda leadership through precision missile strikes have had some limited success, but have also motivated ordinary Pakistanis to speak out in opposition to US interference.
