(Quqnoos)-The Governor of Kandahar province has been dismissed by President Karzai. Rahmatullah Rauofi had governed the troubled southern province for less than six months. Before replacing Asadullah Khaalid as governor in June of this year, Rauofi had acted as an ANA Corps Commander.
President Karzai, who flew to Turkey today to attend a trilateral summit with the President’s of Turkey and Pakistan, has so far given no reason for the move.
Security in Kandahar has deteriorated recently, experts say, with kidnappings, bombings and shooting on the increase.
No successor has been appointed yet.
End.
