Afghan elections




Afghans vote in landmark poll


I am always struck when I see pictures of Afghanistan and Irak how there are no trees, plants forests. Pardon my ignorance, but are these the terrrains of these countries? The people are remarkably resilient to survive these conditions. The elections went ahead with no civilian injuries or deaths and the people voted for their candidates. May it all go well.


"It's the day of self-determination for the Afghan people. After 30 years of wars, interventions, occupations and misery, today Afghanistan is moving forward, making an economy, making political institutions."
