KABUL - An influential former adviser to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, now a leading electoral rival, has accused his old boss of hampering peace with the Taliban by blocking efforts to include a broad range of voices in the process.
“The president is making things very difficult by taking measures that are extremely unfavorable to the process,” Atmar, who resigned from the government last year, told Reuters in an interview. “We are certainly supportive of a caretaker government when on 21th of May the mandate of this government comes to an end. Given his record we are much better off without him.”
Chakhansuri added that the president would stay until elections were held and said Atmar’s call for Ghani to step down was “baseless”. “First he criticized everyone who participated and second, he is writing letter to U.N. to bar the Taliban from travel,” Atmar said. If he won the election, he said, his priorities would be national unity, peace, justice and cooperation domestically and beyond.
