The LOL Girl | 7 years ago | Reply LOL, CAA is "technically" incapable of completing this project in time or at all. There was a competitive guy like Shujaat Azeem who was getting work done quickly and efficiently, but they kicked him out of the picture and everything is back to the old kent road.
LOL | 7 years ago | Reply @Hakim Afghani: You would never understand what progress means, since, there has been no progress in last 500 years of Afghan history, and possibly before that as well.
