The idea of interim government frightens those in power. For Afghans, Peace is the priority, not keeping you guys in power.

A couple of questions: What is d basis 4 an interim government? Where would its legitimacy come from? Who will decide on composition, term & mandate? Does it only include a small leadership group or changes across gov? How many women and in what roles? How is it better for peace?

So mandate and term don’t matter 4 instance? Or inclusivity? Imagine an interim gov with a term of 2-3 years, mandate of changing the constitution, composition of only old, male politicians from certain factions, no civil society voice, no oversight. Doesn’t inspire hope.

Afghanistan has changed vastly since King Z. Rule of which law? The substance of law matters. How do you define people? Taliban did not seem to think women are as “people” as men during their term, for instance.
