First Parliamentary Election in Afghanistan for 3 Decades

Afghanistan's first parliamentary election will be remembered as one of the most important days in the history of Afghanistan. Despite threats from the enemies for the last few months, millions of Afghans rushed towards polling stations to elect their representatives for the parliament. Women equally with men cast their vote. During the Election Day there were separate
polling stations for men and women in capital Kabul and other provinces. But unfortunately most women were not able to vote in Helmand and Zabul provinces even though they were registered, especially in Helmand province because the JEMB did not establish any separate polling stations for the women in 12 districts, but the JEMB officials in Helmand province claim there were no registered women voters so there was no need for establishing the separate polling stations.

Some people did not vote even though they were registered. On the election day I talked with a taxi driver and I asked him if he had voted. He said "not yet". I asked him if he was going to vote. He said "no, because during the presidential election I voted for president Karzai but he did not do anything for poor people we still suffer from the lack of power and drinking water". Some people that didn't vote said most candidates were former commanders and warlords so they don't want to elect them because of their bad past and they said we can not trust the new candidates because we don't know them very well.

In my point of view most people voted for honest and educated people who were not involved in any violence against the Afghan people. I asked my friends and some other people and everyone told me that they voted for new faces, honest and educated people.

Although hundreds of polling stations were established in the cities mostly schools and mosques were used as polling stations, but in the remote areas tents served as a polling station. Voting was slow in the morning but in the afternoon the number of the voters was increased. Except a few attacks from the enemies of peace in the southern and southeastern provinces which killed a dozen people including 2 national police and one French soldier, the situation was under control. Almost 30 attack plans of enemies were detected by the Afghan National Police and National Army in different provinces which prevented the terrorists attacks during the election day. In Ghazni province a vehicle full of explosive device was arrested by national police before it detonated also in Baghlan, Kabul and a few other southern provinces the police arrested a number of foreign terrorists and Taliban attempting to attack the polling stations.

We thank international community and anti-terrorism coalition for their great help and generosity in order to provide financial and security support for the parliamentary election. After almost three decades of war, intervention, occupation and misery, today Afghanistan is moving a step closer to real democracy and stability and it is on a journey towards a peaceful, stable and prosperous society. We hope this election will help us develop our country.

I am so happy for you, Waheed! Thank you for the update. I am sad about the women who were not allowed to vote. Once your country becomes strong, this will not be tolerated anymore. The young men of today will be the heroes of tomorrow! God bless your family and you.
 
This is another great step for the Afghani people. I am impressed with the determination of the people to move forward in freedom despite the threats and actual attacks on the voters. May God bless your land with continuing progress in peace.
 
Good to see progress is being made.

I tried the little blue pills and experienced a stuffed up nose and blue halo in my vision that disrupted my whole evening, yeah I got an erection but I could not breath thru my nose, It left me frustrated. I have since tried many popular pills as seen on TV, and took them as directed for months, and none of them worked at all, so I gave Vicerexlabs a try and wow was I amazed, not only did I get an erection in 20 minutes as claimed, but I also got aroused again seeing women and had sexual energy and desire and was able to have a controlled erection for days. If you are looking for help with great sex then you should check out Vicerexlabs.
