Ousted governor of Balkh province Atta Mohammad Noor and the Presidential Palace have reached an agreement, a source said on Monday.
A well-placed source in the government told media that Ghani’s spymaster Masoom Stanikzai and advisor Salam Rahim visited Balkh for talks with Noor two days back.
Both sides reached an agreement after a marathon meeting last night, the official claimed. Under the agreement, a new governor of Noor’s choice would be appointed in the province.
Some months back, President Ghani approved Noor’s resignation and appointed Eng. Mohammad Dawood. However, the source revealed, Dawood would not take charge.
After holding fruitful negotiations with the strongman, the official said, the government delegation would return to Kabul later in the day.
