Hi,
Karzai has assiduously courted such minority leaders in the run up to next Thursday's election, which is likely to be a close run thing, according to a poll released yesterday.
What do the phrases in red mean?
The group said that Karzai had "made an unthinkable deal to sell Afghan women out in the support of fundamentalists in the August 20 election".
Was the deal one that fundamentalists supported?
Could it have said "in fundamentalists' support"?
Thanks in advance
