Going backward is not acceptable, Ghani said, warning such trend is not acceptable to the nation. “There is no retrograde, only moving forward.”
President Ghani expressed his deepest anxiety over security forces casualties, saying war has a very huge price, thus peace talks between Kabul administration and the Taliban negotiation team should take place.
In the wake of ongoing peace efforts, where US officials are hopeful of a deal before September, where the Afghan masses will go to the polling stations on 28th to cast their votes, President Ghani said the elections will happen on due time.
