Dostum’s Aides Seek Establishment of Federal Govt as Rifts Deepen
Some aides to Marshal Dostum have sought the establishment of a federal government in north and northeastern Afghanistan following days of the rift over the appointment of the new government in Faryab.
The request has come from leadership members of the National Islamic Movement of Afghanistan, or Junbish-e-Milli, led by former vice president Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum.
Junbish members did not speak on the record about this matter, but angry protestors in Faryab on Friday chanted slogans in support of the establishment of a federal government in the country.
