KABUL (Pajhwok): Political analysts say Russia believes the removal of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s name from the UN blacklist is not in its interest, thus trying to block the move.
Hekmatyar-led Hezb-i-Islami (HIA) and the Afghan government, after months of peace negotiations finally reached a peace accord in September.
Under the agreement, the government would try to get lifted international sanctions on HIA and removed names of HIA members on UN and US blacklists . . .
