A senior official of the United Nations on Sunday called for an investigation into the allegations of sexual abuse of women at the Presidential Palace, or ARG.

Ahmadzai, who resigned from his post to contest in parliamentary elections, claimed that some officials “were working systematically to promote adultery in the palace”.
