Kandahar May Fall to Taliban Because of Poor Leadership: MPs
Lawmakers from Kandahar and Helmand provinces in Afghanistan’s House of Representatives on Wednesday said that internal rifts between local officials, the poor management of jobs, and the local authorities pursuit of personal business has pushed Kandahar to the verge of falling to the Taliban.
The lawmakers said that the war has now reached the doorstep of the city, adding that the Kandahar governor, the head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS) for Kandahar and the police chief have failed to correct the situation.
According to the lawmakers, a lack of coordination between government forces and a lack of effort by political leaders, including former President Hamid Karzai, to settle tribal issues in the province have also been key factors in the growing unrest.
