Kabul
Former Afghan Mujahideen leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has expressed grim concerns over the deteriorating security situation in the capital Kabul as a string of targeted assassinations rocked the war-ravaged country. Addressing a large public gathering at his party’s headquarters in Kabul, the leader of the Hezb-e-Islami party Hekmatyar blamed the government for failing to ensure security. “Our proposal is that the people of Kabul should ensure their own security,” said the 70-year-old Afghan veteran while vowing to bring peace if given a chance by the people of Afghanistan. He said “circles” within the government are responsible for the fading insecurity. He added that soon an “Islamic system” (of governance) would be established in Afghanistan.— Anadolu Agency
