		KABUL, Afghanistan – Forces loyal to Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum seized control of the capital of Faryab province in northern Afghanistan yesterday, forcing the governor to flee and drawing a sharp rebuke from President Hamid Karzai and his ministers in Kabul.

		Dostum's forces have been clashing in Faryab Province with troops of government-appointed military commander Habibi since the night of 6 April.
		The clashes in Faryab are the latest to demonstrate the difficulties faced by Karzai as the Afghan central government attempts to extend its authority into provinces that are controlled by warlords and their militia fighters.
		And the main reason for this is for them to show their strength from the direction of Shebergan and [to pressure those] in Faryab Province who are obeying the central government," Anayat said.

	News: Afghanistan, Fighting rages in northern Afghan province: official
		The clashes are the latest to underscore the struggle of President Hamid Karzai to extend the central government's mandate into provinces where warlords traditionally hold sway, largely through loyal militia troops.
		The power struggle between regional warlords and the central government is one of the war-torn nation's biggest problems as it plans its first elections, slated for September, since the toppling of the Taliban regime in late 2001.
		The fighting was prompted by the decision of Habibi, an ethnic Uzbek commander, to switch his allegiance from Dostam to the central government of President Hamid Karzai, Faryab governor Anayatullah Anayat said Wednesday.

		KABUL, April 9: In a bid to restore uneasy control over a northern province overrun by a powerful warlord, Afghanistan's government ordered armed groups quit the area, as the governor said on Friday he was preparing to flee.
		"All those armed groups who have entered Faryab province and the city of Meymanah from the neighbouring provinces and districts are hereby ordered to return to their original locations immediately," the council said.
		"The governor of Faryab and other officials are advised to continue their work."
