People are easily shocked when their routine is disrupted and their ease of travel is restricted. We are dealing with a complete new face of terrorism - killing for the sake of killing.

More quotes by Ashraf Ghani
We need to create jobs for 300,000 youth graduating from high school in the next three years. We need to produce growth so we can have an economic system that can turn our natural wealth into a productive system. We need services, because poverty reduction cannot take place without effective citizenship.
Ashraf Ghani
The commitment to civil liberty is going to be reasserted strongly. But the concept of liberty is under attack, and our definition of insecurity, security and threats will change fundamentally. The depth of the attack on liberty will be felt painfully.
Ashraf Ghani
As the leader of a country, you are not free to enjoy the luxury of such feelings. The Afghan people want peace, which requires persistence. We are determined to defend our country, and the whole region and the entire world understands the justice of our cause and the principled way in which we have engaged in it.
Ashraf Ghani
Salaries are a huge area of corruption.
Ashraf Ghani
There's no place for mob justice in Afghanistan.
Ashraf Ghani
The youth are hurt. Our majority are youth, under 30. They have no hope. They don't get jobs.
Ashraf Ghani
Peace cannot come without the engagement of those who have been before. Gen. Dostum will make peace possible. He was engaged in conflict of the past. Forgiveness is an extremely important part of our culture. But, like Rwanda and South Africa, we need to fashion our own solution.
Ashraf Ghani
Crisis for others is a source of despair. For me, it's an opportunity to bring reform. I owe this country a debt I cannot repay.
Ashraf Ghani
Do not ever threaten an Afghan with violence. We will rise as one and we will face every threat the way we have taken on thousands of previous armies and conquerors.
Ashraf Ghani
The economy is the silent elephant in the room.
Ashraf Ghani
We could form a government of national unity fighting corruption. The ordinary Afghan is sick and tired of it, because it's she or he that pays the price.
Ashraf Ghani
It [terrorism] happened because intelligence, leadership and police failures made it possible.
Ashraf Ghani
We have sacrificed and we have endured extreme hardship, but we have maintained the key goal - we have denied the enemy its main objective of creating two political geographies in this country through the all-out war which has been unleashed against us. If we had a first-rate air force, the nature of the conflict would be completely different.
Ashraf Ghani
Economics taught in most of the elite universities are practically useless in my context. My country [Afghanistan] is dominated by drug economy and a mafia textbook economics does not work in my context.
Ashraf Ghani
The most significant thing is public participation. That assures the Afghan public that our promises are not empty.
Ashraf Ghani
It's fair to say average Americans think that the average Afghan doesn't want American troops in their country.
Ashraf Ghani
Women are part of the constitution.
Ashraf Ghani
We live in an interconnected world, and you cannot prevent people from leaving. What you need to do is to create opportunities. At the same time, people are also coming back.
Ashraf Ghani
When windows shatter through a bomb, we will repair it next week because we are Afghans. That's the spirit.
Ashraf Ghani
The national unity government is a necessity in this country and I am happy to serve it. We have negotiated for months to create a government, but Belgium also went for a year without one.
