US will no longer deal with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s national security adviser - sources
Afghanistans National Security Adviser Hamdullah Mohib during a meeting of national security secretaries of Afghanistan, China, Iran, India and Russia, in the Iranian capital Tehran on Sept. 26, 2018.
Mohib had launched a blistering public attack last Thursday on the chief US negotiator, Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad. Kabul fears that Washington is intent on finalising a US troop pullout to fulfil a vow by President Donald Trump, undermining its ability to reach a political pact with the Taliban that preserves gains, such as women's education, won since the 2001 US invasion ended the militants' harsh rule.
The State Department declined to comment. The Afghan embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
