KABUL (Pajhwok): Two officials have been suspended and five others are being interrogated over a leaked letter that asks for the recruitment of personnel from ethnic groups except Tajiks to the Anti-Riot Force.
Seventy-eight percent of the Anti-Riot Force (ARF) personnel, including the Public Order Police (POP), are from the Tajik community.
The letter demands personnel from other ethnicities should be recruited to the forces to ensure balance and social justice. Five individuals are being interrogated while the POP commander and chief of staff -- both Tajiks -- have been suspended.
