No início deste ano, o Afeganistão entrou em sua segunda temporada de campanha presidencial, os candidatos com mais de quarenta registro para concorrer à presidência, e mais de 3.000 candidatos para os escritórios provinciais. A própria eleição teve lugar no dia 20 de agosto, e os resultados ainda estão sendo apuradas -, mas, segundo os resultados preliminares, a frente de dois corredores são atual presidente Hamid Karzai eo ex-ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros Dr. Abdullah Abdullah. Membros do Taliban boicotou o processo eleitoral e ameaçaram os que participaram com a violência. Embora a segurança era pesado, cerca de 800 estações de voto (de 7.000) não foram abertas devido à insegurança temidos - os ataques de insurgentes terem cravado na freqüência que antecederam a 20. O governo afegão também emitiu uma proibição de uma cobertura mediática da violência durante o dia das eleições, temendo que tal notícia seria reduzir taxa de participação. Seguem abaixo fotos da volta do Afeganistão durante a sua recente eleição.
