Ashraf Ghani
8am: Ashraf Ghani destroyed the institutions, which ultimately at the end of his rule, most of the ministries and directorates had been stripped of their authority, with the competing parallel departments neutralizing each other’s influence. During Ashraf Ghani’s era, the army experienced extreme management instability and most generals and military officials did not feel job security. Ashraf Ghani’s relationship with external sources of power, such as neighbors and Westerners was turbulent and unstable. He failed to understand the significance of American cooperation for the survival of his power.
Ashraf Ghani had tried to introduce himself as a nationalist who wanted progress and was inclined to stabilize the rule of Pashtun elites. There was no stability in this work either. His stance towards former Afghan Kings Ahmad Shah Abdali and Amanullah Khan during his rule had offended a group of Pashtun nationalists. He once stated that since the era of Ahmad Shah Abdali, the rulers of Afghanistan have been engaged in fratricide and civil war. Once again, in the last days of his rule, he had called Amanullah Khan a deserter, asserting that he would not repeat his mistake.
