SEPTEMBER 21, 2010

by Michael Smith (Veshengro) Election day 2010 in Afghanistan was dominated by spotty turnout, fake voter cards, and some feisty voters. Afghanistan's election 2010 yielded reports of intimidation in unstable regions. Already in the first hour of voting the observers from the Free and Fair Election Foundation of Afghanistan reported 224 "serious acts of intimidation" and this continued throughout the day. So, what has the NATO presence if Afghanistan archived?

The fairy tale that the British forces are in Afghanistan being so that the British people can be safe on their streets is beginning to wear thin, especially when findings such as this come along. The truth for the military presence in Afghanistan is entirely different to what we are being force fed by the powers-that-be.

We are not talking democracy in a country like Afghanistan. Afghanistan has always been a problem, if we want to put it that way, and is a very fractured place due to the varying tribes and groups of peoples with the Pashtuns, aka the Pathans, having been, due to their warrior nature, being more often than not he dominant group and been running the country. Afghanistan is a feudal society and will remain such for many years and more than likely decades to come.
