End Discrimination: Afghan President and Aid Agreement

end discrimination: The two countries will co-operate on infrastructure, education and employment of women and girls, agriculture and water management, training of Afghan civil servants and anti-corruption initiatives, according to Metro News. Hundreds of protesters came to the capital, Canberra, to demonstrate against the first visit to Australia by an Afghan president, calling for Ghani's government to end discrimination against the Hazaras and repatriation of asylum seekers rejected by Australia. Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull and President Ashraf Ghani signed an aid agreement at the Australian Parliament House worth 320 million Australian dollars 240 million over four years. The protesters gathered outside Government House, where Ghani met with Governor General Peter Cosgrove. Afghanistan signed a memorandum of understanding with Australia in 2011 to accept failed Afghan asylum seekers. Hazara protester Barat Ali Batoor said the security situation in Afghanistan had deteriorated too much for the Afghan government to continue to accept asylum seekers rejected by Australia.
