Afghanistan’s national unity government fails to meet a two-year deadline for making electoral reforms and constitutional changes.

Under a governing agreement brokered by the United States in September of 2014, Afghanistan’s national unity government was given two years to push through sweeping electoral reforms. As a result, the European Union and the government of Afghanistan will co-host the “Brussels Conference on Afghanistan”. In the meantime, Afghan President Ghani will seek continued international financial support for the stabilization of his country.

The impasse has created tensions between President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and called into question the future of their government.
