05.09.2005 KABUL - Two provincial governors have been replaced in northern Afghanistan after a spate of demonstrations against one of them.

Acting on a suggestion of the interior ministry, President Hamid Karzai Sunday decreed the transfer Juma Khan Hamdard from Baghlan province, where a string of protests had been held against him.

Replaced by Mohammad Alam Rasikh, Hamdard has been appointed as the new governor of the neighboring Jawzjan province. The presidential decree said the changes were intended to improve security and bring reforms to the provinces.
