Afghan elects new legislature

Despite threats and fears of the Taliban, the Afghanis voted for the second time in less than two years to elect their parliament. This is a momentous occasion for that region. No one expeced them to actualy have a semblance of elections, given their level of educaton and exposure to democratic concepts.

But then democratic values are the ones that we chersish as a mankind and seems to tbe only logicl steady state condition.

Hope this will nudge Afghanistan towards a democratic future.
