Ayesha Tanzeem

   ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN - Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and his rival
   Abdullah Abdullah, who claimed the elections were rigged, are expected
   to sign a power-sharing deal Sunday.

   The deal will end political turmoil in the country and pave the way for
   the start of negotiations with the Taliban over the future governance
   structure in the country.
