‘Jamiat-e Islami Insejam Council’ Calls for Holding General Assembly
Afghanistan Jamiat-e Islami Insejam Council declared its opposition against the recent decision of its party that shaped a temporary leadership and called for a general gathering of the party.
The Insejam Council branch of Jamiat Islami party says the 64-members leadership council is illegitimate and self-centered.
Member of Jamiat Islami, Abdul Karim Hashemi said, “the Jamiat Islami leadership council was shaped based on personalization and we do not accept our partnership.”
Another member, Baz Muhammad Dalili said, “the Insejam Council does not accept the decision of Jamiat which was made without consultation.”
However, the leadership of Jamiat-e Islami asks the Insejam Council to put the criticisms aside and support the temporary leadership.
A member of leadership council of Jamiat Islami, Waqef Hakimi said, “we will hold the Jamiat Islami congress up to the next year to select the councils through elections.”
Jamiat Islami is not only one of Afghanistan’s oldest and largest political parties (and, based on a wide network of commanders, still one of its most powerful military factions), but also Ghani’s main coalition partner in the National Unity Government (NUG) that came into being after the botched 2014 presidential election and, in contrast to its name, is marred by almost constant infighting.
Now also Abdullah, who was the runner-up and Jamiat’s candidate and became the new government’s chief executive (CE), has come under intense criticism from his own camp for not delivering on the power-sharing deal included in the NUG agreement between its two formerly opposed camps.
Iran executed four Afghan prisoners in Vakliabad Prison in Mashhad on Thursday morning, a human rights group reported.
Haalvsh said that the individuals had been arrested in 1398 over drug-related charges and then sentenced to death by the court.
This organization announced the names of the executed prisoners as Zaman Taheri, Salam Taheri, Gholam Qadir Samani and Ebrahim Noorzahi.
Zaman Taheri and Salam Taheri were brothers.
Iranian officials have not commented about the matter so far.
Two people were killed after roof of their house collapsed in southern Helmand province on Friday night, officials said.
Abdul Bari Rashid, head of information and culture in Helmand, told Ariana News that the incident occurred in Tajkan village of Gershak district due to heavy rain.
According to him, the dead include a woman and a child. A man was injured in the incident.
This comes as 10 people have died and six others have been injured as a result of the floods in Helmand province in the last one week.
Officials at the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) say 7,000 incomplete projects of the World Bank are at risk of destruction in Afghanistan. They call on the World Bank to resume the work of these projects.
According to them, discussions have been held with the World Bank about these projects, but there has been no result yet.
“7,000 incomplete projects are being destroyed, and if the work is not started, these projects will be destroyed. We ask the World Bank to resume the work of these projects as soon as possible,” said Noorul Hadi Adel, the spokesperson of MRRD.
Meanwhile, members of the private sector also ask international institutions to resume their work in Afghanistan.
According to the officials of this sector, with the start of these projects, job opportunities will be provided for thousands of people in the country.
“These projects create employment for our people and the country will grow a lot,” said Mirwais Hajizadeh, a member of the private sector.
However, economic experts stated if the work of these projects does not start soon, they will be destroyed and the investments made in them will be wasted.
