Insults Fly in Afghan Parliament Security Debate
A parliament discussion on the security of the Kabul-Kandahar highway flared up after MP Kamal Nasir Osuli took the government’s side and said the security of the key highway is better than when the country was in civil war.
“The values that a republic government should have do not exist in this republic,” said Khan Agha Rezaee, head of the security committee of the parliament.
“The current republic, over the last 20 years, is better than 1992. People were killed in Kabul in 1993 and in 1994, people got married with boys on the Kabul-Kandahar Highway,” said Kamal Nasir Osuli, an MP from Khost.
