Afghanistan Unity Govt Announced Monday Jan 12,2015

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has unveiled his unity cabinet more than three months after he was sworn in.

The names of 25 ministers were read out at a ceremony in Kabul presided over by Afghan President Ashraf 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 two leaders presided over the ceremony held in Kabul Monday Jan 12,2015, during which Ghani's chief of staff, Abdul Salam Rahimi, read out the names of the new ministers.

The cabinet still needs to be approved by parliament.

Note
Ashraf Ghani was sworn in on September  29,2014after an election his rival accused him of winning by fraud
