Negotiations Once Again Fail Over Unity Government

KABUL: (Middle East Press) the two presidential candidates Dr. Abdullah Abdullah and Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai have once again failed to reach an agreement and to conclude the contentious electoral process.

Representatives of the two camps met on Thursday to reach an agreement on the formation of a national unity government in the presence of US and UN officials.

According to representatives of Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, Thursday’s talks failed due to demands by their rival team, which are in disagreement of the constitution of Afghanistan.
