FARAKHABAR: Rula Ghani’s Remarks On Prisoner Swap Discussed

Afghanistan’s First Lady Rula Ghani, while speaking at the US Institute of Peace in Washington DC on Thursday, said that the attempted prisoner swap for professors from the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) “did not work.”

“The situation is very complex...it did not work,” Rula Ghani said in response to a question at the US Institute of Peace. “I am not quite sure why, but probably some party did not do what they promised they are going to do, so, unfortunately, the two professors may not be released.”

“But this is what we are dealing with, this is the kind of people we have to negotiate with, and it’s really delicate,” she said.

Kevin King, 63, from the US, and Timothy Weeks, 50, from Australia, were professors at AUAF who were abducted by the Haqqani Network in Kabul in August 2016.

In this episode host Yaser Abrar discusses the topic with Mawolana Farid a political analyst and Amanullah Paiman, a former parliament member.
