Massoud Calls for Elections in Afghanistan
DUSHANBE (Reuters) -- Only elections can lead Afghanistan out of political crisis, even if they legitimize Taliban rule, Afghan anti-Taliban leader Ahmad Massoud told a conference in Tajikistan on Wednesday.
“Let the people decide for themselves which kind of government they want,” said Massoud, exiled leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), as he made a rare public appearance at an Afghanistan-focused event in Dushanbe with stronger-than-usual security measures at the venue.
