KABUL (Pajhwok): A number of Wolesi Jirga members on Wednesday condemned Gen. Dostum’s supporters’ armed protest and said it was not in the interest of Afghanistan.
Armed protestors chanted slogans against the government in Maimana, the capital of Faryab province, after the Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG) approved the appointment of Dawod Laghmani as Faryab governor.
Gen. Dostum reacted to the move and told his supporters that he had not been consulted on the appointment of Faryab governor. He ordered his supporters to stand against Laghmani’s appointment, thus the protest has been ongoing over the past two . . .
