Anxiety grows over Afghanistan's 'unity government'
from Mail Online Wires
02-03-2015 - Four months after President Ashraf Ghani was sworn in Afghanistan is still struggling to form a government, damaging the economy and miring the country in uncertainty as the Taliban insurgency continues.
The months of bitter fighting between Ghani and his poll rival Abdullah Abdullah that plagued much of 2014 were meant to have ended with the agreement in September to create a "national unity government".
But parliament's rejection last week of most of Ghani's cabinet nominees has cast his administration into uncertainty once again and is fuelling fears of fresh turmoil, analysts say.
MPs turned down all but eight of Ghani's 25 picks for a range of reasons -- from dual-citizenship to problems with educational documents and at least one nominee whose name was found to be on an Interpol wanted list.
With parliament now on its winter break, Ghani must wait until late March before he can introduce new candidates to the legislators, dealing a blow to his pledges of reform.
It means Afghanistan must get by for nearly two months with no permanent minister in several key posts, including defence.
"This is very troubling for Afghanistan, to not have a complete government at this critical time," said Abdul Waheed Wafa, analyst and director of the Afghanistan Center at Kabul University.
"People were hoping to see a strong and unified government, but with the delay and then rejection of most of the cabinet and its leaders in conflict with themselves, we know that is not going to fully realise anytime soon."
