Afghan President Hamid Karzai has confirmed the covert efforts of some foreign countries to change the political system of Afghanistan. Karzai has not named any specific country, but he did mention the kind of system those countries are looking for. His comments drew mixed reactions here. People in the north support a federal government. Their neighborhoods are rich with oil deposits---like these ones. You cannot find the likes of these oil deposits in the south. The northerners want to have a full grip on them. And it is also peace that they believe can come to their villages if a federal style of government is put in place. It is not the general view though. There are many who are strongly opposed to such a change in Afghanistan\'s political system. Fatana Ishaq Gailani is one of them. She is a member of a famous political family here. Fatana blames the West for trying to impose a federal government on Afghans. To her, it is a plausible threat. Fayez Khorshid, Press TV, Kabul
