The names of 25 ministers were read out at a ceremony in Kabul presided over by Mr Ghani and government chief executive Abdullah Abdullah. The announcement comes after tortuous negotiations between the two former rivals who agreed to work together following disputed elections last year. The cabinet still needs to be approved by parliament. Mr Ghani's cabinet contains three women, for the portfolios of women's affairs, culture and higher education.[/quote]
Ok how long before this one goes to crap.... But seriously i wonder how the new government would work out for these guys.
[QUOTE]BBC Afghan's editor in Kabul, Waheed Massoud, says almost all the cabinet are new faces. Some are hardly known to the public. Many of the new ministers are young and have not been deeply involved in the years of political fighting and war which have blighted Afghanistan's recent past, he says.[/QUOTE] This might turn out for the better rather than the worse.
