The head of the consultative Loya Jirga and former Afghan president Sibghatullah Mojaddedi
has left Afghanistan for Turkey to protest against president Hamid Karzai’s refusal to sign the
bilaterl security agreement between Afghanistan and United States.
Mojaddedi, at the conculuding session of consultative Loya Jirga warned that he will leave
Afghanistan if president Hamid Karzai refused to signed the secuirty deal between Kabul and
Washington.
A family member of Sibghatullah Mojaddedi said he would not return to Afghanistan unless
president Hamid Karzai endorse his demand to sign the Afghan-US security deal.
In the meantime, Disputes Resolution Commission deputy chief Asadullah Wafa said
Sibghatullah Mojaddedi will head to Denmark after visiting Turkey for treatment purposes.
Mr. Wafa said that Sibghatullah Mojaddedi will visit his family in Denmark.
Tensions between president Hamid Karzai and US officials further heightened during a meeting
with the US national security advisor Susan Rice earlier this week.
Karzai has refused to sign the pact promptly and demanded an immediate end to military raids
on Afghan homes and demonstrate its commitment to peace talks before the bilateral security
agreement is signed.
Washington has warned that there would be no US or NATO troops presence in Afghanistan,
without a prompt signing of the security deal.
