CEO Dr. Abdullah Abdullah: NUG Inherited Corrupt System

KABUL - Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah once again strongly blasted the past government, saying the National Unity Government (NUG) inherited a "corrupt system and deceptive politics."

"Afghans must realize that what happened during the past 14 years," Abdullah said during his trip to northeastern Badakhshan.

Referring to speculations by former government officials about the collapse of the unity government, Abdullah warned if the government was overthrown, Daesh and Taliban would be its successors.

"The government during the past 14 years neglected the tragedies and problems of Afghanistan with laugher and humorous and now they are awaiting the collapse of government," Abdullah said at a gathering of Badakhshan elders.

Abdullah, who has been visiting restive provinces these days, maintained that the unity government was however accountable for its performance over the past nine months.

"We are in National Unity Government just for the good of country, not to seek privileges," Abdullah said, which was believed to illustrate his discontentment to government's performance.

Referring to a deteriorating economic situation, Abdullah said the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan was one of the major factors behind unemployment.

In addition, he emphasized on a lasting peace in Afghanistan but warned the government would not remain silent on killings of civilians.

"If terrorists are brutally killing civilians, we will use our all strength against them," Abdullah warned.

He however stated that the unity government was still committed to bringing peace to the country. Last week, Abdullah visited Takhar, Kunduz, Balkh and Helmand provinces. (Tolonews)
