LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): Tribal elders on Wednesday asked the government to pay special attention to security and appoint able officials in southern Helmand province.
During a gathering in Lashkargah, the provincial capital, tribal elder Amir Mohammad Akhunzada spoke on behalf of other elders, describing security in Helmand as “bad,” urging people to control the situation on their own.
“Some figures are creating insecurity for their personal interests. Our traders are not willing to invest here and the war has reached Lashkargah's outskirts,” he said, accusing foreign networks and some local officials of dividing tribes in . . .
