The Federal Assembly has formally declared its existence

The members of the “Federal Assembly” which was created by a number of political figures, former members of parliament and political activists of Afghanistan and formally declared their existence called for a federal system for Afghanistan.

The meeting was officially announced on Saturday, February 3, 2015, with the members of Sarwar Danesh, Abdul Latif Pedram, Mohieddin Mehdi, Niloofar Ebrahimi, Masoumeh Khavari and Zia Aria Nejad, General Abdul Malik, Dr. Rasul Taleb, and Faizullah Zaki.

The Assembly said that the only way to achieve stability and resolve political disputes in Afghanistan is to change the political system to a federal one.

Sarwar Danish, a former vice president of Afghanistan and a member of the leadership of the forum, said that the collapse of the Afghan political system once again has taken into consideration the issue of the type of political system in Afghanistan. He said that the type of political system in each country should be in accordance with the requirements of the time and needs of the country.

Mr. Danesh said that the creation of this forum is an attempt to cohesion all the federalists of Afghanistan and that the Assembly calls for a fundamental change in the distribution of power in the country.

“Federalism in Afghanistan is not harmful to any ethnic group or region, and it is in the interest of all and for providing justice,” Danish said.
