Afghan Poll Already “Stolen”: Analysts
URUKNET: Even before it kicks off, Afghanistan's showcase presidential election is likely "sold" and "stolen", analysts warned, stressing that a growing sense of disillusion amongst voters in the war-torn country is adding to the polls’ severe crisis of credibility. "August 20 will not guarantee free, fair democracy here," Wadir Safi, of Kabul University's law and political sciences faculty, told Agence France Presse (AFP) on Sunday, August 16. "It will be forged and fake democracy and elections."
