A Narco Democracy
The winner of Afghanistan's elections last month was: the Warlord party! "More than 80 percent of winning candidates in provinces and more than 60 percent in the capital Kabul have links to armed groups," AIHRC (Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission) deputy chairman Ahmad Fahim Hakim said on Monday, adding some were notorious warlords. This is a total subversion of the democratic process.
It continues: "We are already a narco-state," says Mohammad Nader Nadery at the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission, which has studied the growing impunity of former military commanders and drug dealers who now work within the Afghan government. Here's an insiders view: Abdul Karim Brahowie, Afghanistan's minister of tribal and frontier affairs, says that the government has become so full of drug smugglers that cabinet meetings have become a farce. "Sometimes the people who complain the loudest about theft are thieves themselves," he says.
