[07 July 13] Calls for federalism in Afghanistan divide Afghan society - English

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed the covert efforts of some foreign countries to change the political system of Afghanistan. Karzai has not named any specific country, but he did mention the kind of system those countries are looking for. His comments drew mixed reactions here. People in the north support a federal government. Their neighborhoods are rich with oil deposits---like these ones. You cannot find the likes of these oil deposits in the south. The northerners want to have a full grip on them. And it is also peace that they believe can come to their villages if a federal style of government is put in place. It is not the general view though. There are many who are strongly opposed to such a change in Afghanistan\'s political system. Fatana Ishaq Gailani is one of them. She is a member of a famous political family here. Fatana blames the West for trying to impose a federal government on Afghans.
To her, it is a plausible threat.

A large number of Afghans have staged a rally in the eastern city of Jalalabad to show their opposition to a possible security deal with the United States. Protesters say American forces are responsible for the deaths of many civilians in their country. Demonstrators also called on the participants of the Loya Jirga to reject a possible agreement. The Jirga is a gathering of elders from across Afghanistan which will decide on the fate of the deal next week. The deal between Kabul and Washington will allow thousands of American troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond 20-14. The issue of whether or not to grant legal immunity to American forces remains a sticking point.

U-S national security adviser Susan Rice is in Afghanistan to meet with President Hamid Karzai. The visit comes a day after the US-Afghan security pact was thrown into limbo after Karzai refused to sign it.
Karzai has told the assembly of tribal elders, known as the Loya Jirga, that the deal should not be signed until after presidential elections in April. The grand assembly had approved the bilateral agreement to keep US forces in the country after 2014. The US says a deal has to be agreed by the end of the year. But Karzai says Washington has to prove its good intentions by keeping its soldiers out of Afghan homes and promoting peace talks with the Taliban.

The Afghan government wants the Americans to stop using airstrikes in populated areas, but those demands have so far fallen on deaf ears.
