Shinwari added the protestors chanted slogans against Pakistan and the terrorist groups enjoying safe havens in that coun- try.

The alliance has been formed by General Abdul Rashid Dostum, the First Vice Presi- dent and head of Junbish-e-Milli party; the CEO’s second deputy and head of Hizb-e- Wahdat-e-Islami party, Mohammad Mo- haqiq; and northern Balkh governor and CEO of Jamiat-e-Islami party Atta Moham- mad Noor along with acting foreign minis- ter Salahuddin Rabbani. “It is because of the president’s poor lead- ership.
