Could the rivalry between Afghanistan's leaders derail peace efforts? | Inside Story

President Ashraf Ghani and former Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah both say they won the presidential election in September. And both held presidential inauguration ceremonies on Monday. Ghani is supposed to finalise the government's team for the first direct negotiations with the Taliban. At the same time, the U.S. has started withdrawing troops, despite more questions being raised about the Taliban deal. Can Ghani and Abdullah settle their differences?
