Presidential Election

This is a photo taken yesterday from one of the main streets in Herat. The street is called " Jadeh Welayet" which means the governor street. At the end of the street the governor office is located. You can see the banners on street and too many photos on the trunk of the trees. It is very funny to see too many pictures of the provincial candidates all over the street. Both, the presidential and provincial election is going to be on the same day, August 20th. The main ones - the banner on the street is for the presidential election. There are three candidates among all others that have more supporters in compare with the rests. The first one is Hamid Karzai the current president and the second one is Dr. Abdullah one of the Jehaddi figure and the spokesperson of Ahmad Shah Masood, and the third one is Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai- the former minister for finance in Karzai cabinet. There is a strong believe and chance for President Karzai to the second round of the election. He still is the figure that %80 of the whole population can trust him in compare with Dr. Abdullah - one of the Jehaddi figure. Tomorrow, Friday August the 14th, President karzai is going to come to Herat for election compaign which is going to be fun and dangerous. Fun because thousands of people from Herat and its 14 districts are coming to welcome the president. Dangerous because some opposition groups and insurgents have distributed letters among people that avoid of coming to welcome the president otherwise if there is any suicide attack, your lives is at danger and not safe. This is Afghanistan. I am trying to post some photos from tomorrow if to have a chance for photographing.
