Dostum Camp Warns of Protests Across North Over Faryab Governor
A spokesperson for the Junbish-i Milli- Islami party, led by Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum, on Thursday warned that six other provinces in the north will launch local demonstrations if the Presidential Palace does not meet the demands of the people against the appointment of a new governor in Faryab.
Dostum’s spokesman Ehsan Nairo said that six days after the protests, the government is still not prepared to meet the demands of the people in Faryab.
“What is taking shape at the moment is an expansion of protests outside Maimana city and Faryab province, there is the possibility that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, protests will start in other provinces in the north and in the northeastern provinces,” said Ehsan Nairo, a spokesman for Dostum.
