Warlord returns to Afghanistan

Rashid Dostum is the head of Jombesh-e Melli Islami (the National Islamic Movement), a predominantly Uzbek militia that once was a part of the Northern Alliance.

Mr. Dostom spent one year in exile returned to Afghanistan last night. Dostom, warlord, human rights violator and killer, rejoined Karzai corrupted team after he was exiled to Turkey for beating a political rival.

It is not the only crime he committed but he has the lions share in every disastrous and criminal action in Afghanistan, either before Taliban or after.

Once he was the fighting machine of communist government under the command of Najibullah and destructed many homes, widowed many women and orphaned many children.

Another warlord, with such a background and character, Karzai wants to have him apart of his campaign.

Clearly the Afghan people do not want to continue with this corrupt government and the man who clearly wants human rights abusers apart of his government.

Afghan people deserve more.  Dr. Ghani is the only candidate that can deliver the future Afghanistan deserves and is ready for.
