Putin: Rabbani is the Afghanistan's sole legitimate leader. Guardian WORLD DISPATCH October 25, 2001 Every day the Guardian's foreign correspondents file exclusive reports for Guardian Unlimited. More dispatches here Today, Simon Tisdall says world leaders are divided over the future government of Afghanistan. A meeting in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe this week between Russia's President Vladimir Putin and the leader of Kabul's government-in-exile, Burhanuddin Rabbani, has further complicated attempts to forge a peaceful settlement in Afghanistan. Putin was en route to Moscow from a meeting in Shanghai of Asian and Pacific nations, at which US president George Bush described him as a "stalwart partner" in the current American-led military action in Afghanistan. The two men were said to have agreed that a broad-based, multi-ethnic post-Taliban administration in Kabul was Afghanistan's best long-term hope. In the view of US secretary of state, Colin Powell, such a government could include moderate elements of the ruling Taliban. But in Dushanbe, Putin described Rabbani, ousted from power in 1996, as the country's sole "legitimate" leader and condemned the Taliban in forthright terms. ><
