Can someone please separate Mr Karzai from his charsi? He’s clearly been smoking too much of the funky stuff…
President Hamid Karzai has hit out at Pakistan over continuing violence in Afghanistan, accusing it of trying to turn his countrymen into “slaves”.
Mr Karzai’s comments are among his most strongly-worded yet in the spat between the neighbours over border attacks.
While on a visit to the southern city of Kandahar, he also criticised Nato-led forces for killing civilians.
As he did so a motorcyclist was accidentally killed by Nato troops in the city. Nato subsequently apologised.
Mr Karzai’s latest verbal attack on Pakistan came while he was visiting a school in Kandahar.
“Pakistan has not given up hope of making us slaves. But they cannot,” he said.
“This tyranny against our people is not by the nation of Pakistan, it is by the government of Pakistan.”
