KABUL — The Afghan parliament is refusing to work, in protest against President Hamid Karzai’s unwillingness to name more than a quarter of his Cabinet or three Supreme Court justices, hoping a boycott will persuade the leader.
Lawmakers are speculating over the 18-month delay in naming seven permanent ministers of his 25-member Cabinet. But as the protest entered its fourth day on Tuesday, its popularity began to fade and lawmakers trickled away for their vacation.
