Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said Monday that the recent spate of attacks across the country, including targeted killings, is aimed at eroding trust in government and undermining stability.
Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Ghani said the latest attacks against journalists, civil society members and activists, government employees and civilians in general, are attacks against a generation and the values of Afghanistan.
“These attacks are aimed at undermining the stability of our country, eroding the trust among our young generation and particularly to deprive Afghan women of a future,” Ghani told his cabinet.
“The attacks on Yama Siawash, Yousef Rashid, Malala Maiwand, Elias Daye, Rahmatullah Nikzad, Freshta Kohestani, Fatemeh Khalil, the doctors of Pul-e-charkhi Prison and our other colleagues, is attack on a generation and all our values and attack on our heart and conscience,” Ghani added.
