Former Afghan president criticizes present government over US bombing

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Saturday said he no longer recognizes the present government of the country, led by Ashraf Ghani, after it failed to oppose the recent launch of the so-called "mother of all bombs" by the United States in Afghanistan.


The National Unity Government, led by Ghani with chief executive Abdullah Abdullah, was formed in 2014, after a grave political crisis that was resolved with the creation of a new post of chief executive for the losing presidential candidate.

"I no longer recognize the National Unity Government as the formal government and as my representative administration," Karzai said at a press conference in Kabul.

Karzai, who was the president of Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014, said the members of the current government "do not even know national sovereignty."

Karzai criticized the present leaders of the country for allowing the US to drop the GBU-43 bomb which, according to Afghan authorities, killed 94 members of the Islamic State terror organization and destroyed an important base used by the group.
