He said government officials worked for their own interests and had no interest in people’s problems. He said insecurity had increased due to incompetent government organs.

He added ex-jihadis had decided not to keep mum over issues like land grabbing and corruption. He said a joint stance over such issues would be announced soon.

Another jihadi leader Hajji Abdullah said they supported the security transition from foreign troops to the Afghan lead and they would help the government make it a success.
