Mohammad Masoom Hashimi Safi, head of Kunduz security department, said Saturday that security officials who were fired last year by President Ashraf Ghani are behind the Kunduz crisis.
Safi added that last year, when Ghani visited Kunduz, he fired or changed the duty station of more than 200 security officials, heads of checkpoints and security forces over negligence in doing their duties.
But a number of these security forces and security officials retained their original jobs based on their political and personal relations with influential figures, he said.
He said these security officials again did not do their jobs properly or were not qualified and that they were the main reason for parts of the city falling to the Taliban.
